Aryan

Were you successful in getting apps on The EC2?
I myself have not started doing it and plan to try this out in the future.
Maybe we could share notes

Subject: [Devel] Ulteo and XFCE
Message-ID: <f13b62210905072155o158e313dj86560ac34f975eb5@mail.gmail.com>

I know that Ulteo uses XFCE as the lightweight desktop

Can this be customized to present the desktop the way in which we want to. I
just want to control the screen, applications. At the same time, I want to
retain current Ulteo's virtual session properties.

How far can the lightweight desktop environment be controlled to present the
screen that you want to present to the browser user?

Can we have multiple screen configurations.

Ie For username1, the session is launched with screen one with a set of
widgets 1 and 2
Ie For username 2, the session is launched with screen two with a set of
widggets 2 and 3

I hope i communicated the requirements clearly. It is about the control of
what the user sees when he logs in rather than let the user play around in
an unfamiliar environment.

Prabhu

Well... you can modify everything Xfce offers, but there's no interface to do 
so. The only solution for now is to edit /etc/xdg/xfce*.
What's also possible is to run a "normal" xfce session (on an Xubuntu 8.04 for 
instance, or any distribution using Xfce 4.4), customize as you wish, and copy 
the config (~/.config/xfce*) to /etc/xdg in the OVD chroot. Not very handy but 
doable.

For the moment it's not possible.

Thank you very much, the answer was pretty clear.

I was wondering whether you could tweak it so that just a single application
runs and no other control is visible, and the user accesses this single
application. I want to remove all the other apps, control panels

The purpose is "To webify an application using Ubuntu". So the user simply
interacts with a single application without going astray.

I think this would something great that could be achieved with Ulteo

Prabhu

Thank you very much, the answer was pretty clear.

I was wondering whether you could tweak it so that just a single application
runs and no other control is visible, and the user accesses this single
application. I want to remove all the other apps, control panels

The purpose is "To webify an application using Ulteo (misspelled as ubuntu
in last mail)". So the user simply interacts with a single application
without going astray.

I think this would something great that could be achieved with Ulteo

It's already possible with the OVD, and it's part of our next
development steps to offer the capability to run published apps from a
an web interface.
