As settings are different between 14.04 and 16.04 and requests were received how to minimize these differences, here are some suggestions how to solve that, based on Lubuntu. All below mentioned subjects are now part of the 14.04 based images for cloning, uploaded later than May 20th, 2016.
  1. For 14.04 / Add trash and show mounted drives on desktop...

I was asked, if and how already delivered laptops should be updated to new Lubuntu releases. In this case laptops were delivered to a school in Africa (based on 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS), now there is 16.04 LTS available. It is hard to answer this question, as an answer depends on the IT experience of helpers, the infrastructure (online access possible at edoovillage?) and other aspects. The...

Hi Team, I installed this french offline wiki package on a Dootronic: http://ftp.labdoo.org/download/images/xowa-wikis/3.1/fr.xowa-wikis-3_1.tar.gz Unfortunately the package missed some files in the wikipedia subfolder, so just this crucial part did not work. I fixed the package by adding the missing wikipedia files from the official XowA webpage (https://gnosygnu.github.io/xowa/) using...

In the installation of Lubuntu 14.04 (and most other linux distros) one can choose whether to install commercial/proprietary third-party packages that do not necessarily have free licenses. These can be of help to the end users (mp3 decoding, specific drivers for commercial hardware, and unfortunately still Flash)... so do we want to do that, or do we need to distribute the laptops with a...

Dear Team, I'm about to configure a few laptops for Labdoo and wanted to know if I can use the latest LTS of lubuntu (16.04) or should I stick with 14? Cheers! Rob.

Story: we check a user profile and would like to know where that user is carrying out his/her labdoo activities. The user's account page should provide high level information such as the list of edoovillages and hubs he/she is related to and/or the dootronics.

The Labdoo images, which will be uploaded later than May, 16th 2016, will come WITHOUT PRE-INSTALLEDED CODECS. Due to that you will not be able to watch videos, DVDs etc. any-more on a Labdoo laptop, unless you run a script by yourself. Ubuntu and Mint decided to remove the restricted codecs and extras as well. Those distributions will be delivered without...

Hi @Jonathan, Just a quick query in case you know if there is something that can be done from Google's site. Our last newsletter (https://www.labdoo.org/content/labdoo-newsletter-global-201604) was submitted on Saturday, but this time around for people who have a gmail address, it's landing on their "promotions" folder. It used to be OK, so something in Google's algorithm is now pushing our...

Thank you Jordi for fixing the issue. However, I have come across one error; a picture of it is attached below. After I finished typing in a new password and filling out the form for the new password page, I clicked on the "Submit" button and received the error message about the "Current Password" text box. To check if my password had changed, I logged out and tried to log in again with my new...
