if somehow I succesfully unsinstall xfce? do i get those mouse settings back?

Yes

why those settings lost?

It's a conflict between two different tools trying to take over the same resource

I have the list of packages installed, in a text file

can it help in uninstalling xfce?

Gnome use a programme, I don't remember its name, to manage touchpad & mouse settings. But other desktop use a different one and they clash

Synaptic is one. Xinput is the other, I think.

Yes, uninstalling XFCE will help.

second one is the right file

i ran this "sudo dnf remove $(cat packages)"

lets see what happens

thanks community

everthing is fine now

Excellent!

Glad you solve it.

But please file a bug. Installing a desktop shouldn't delete kernels.

Unless it pulls in kernel$newest and therefore updates it

What's the use case of server

I'm making a firewall router to replace the other one.

So far so good. Installed OS fine with uefi boot. Now onto the packages and Firewall rules.... :)

Hi guys I'm Naresh Kumar from India ✌️✌️

Welcome :)

I'm interested in learning such cool stuffs

Great! Learning is always good

Yep I'm very happy to have contact with you guys

??

Nice

Is there any topic you like more?

I'm trying to build a customized os

Could you please guide me

ok so you want to build your own linux OS

you can start by choosing what your main source will be, like arch, fedora, etc

Let me tell my requirements, and then u suggest me one.

Yeah sure :)

The purpose of the OS is to conduct online examination under fully controlled environment. My customized OS should be live bootable and kick-started

from the domain server

ok, what type of examinations?

Objective type examination

hmm

Any online examination can be an example

hmm maybe modifying a fedora spin

I need it to be very very light weight

what DE you like?

It should work even with 512mb RAM

so xfce

or smth lighter

or lxde

My desktop case is peculiar. Let me describe it

When it boots up a browser pop-up window should pops up and occupy the whole screen no shortcut key r smart keys are allowed to work. Moreover...

The browser should automatically connect to my examination web server. Which means at the client end the user has no other option except participating the online examination.

so lightweight, live bootable and kick-started from server, browser window full screen at startup, disabled shortcut keys..

oh yes, I figured what you like to do

Exactly

have seen smth like that in my drivers license test

only a browser window and nothing else

Yep

should the examination require keyboard input?

Of course. My browser should be able to display some graphical images, video clips and all other capabilities of a modern browser must have to conduct the online examination

ERROR: S client not available

ok so I think a good option would be to modify fedora lxde, set to automatic login, remove all unneccessary packages and add packages that disable shortcut keys, adding a browser window with defined parameters on startup

maybe others can help you since I`m not that informed with this process :)

In theory I myself too knew this. please guide me how to start and how to Proceed. I've some hands-on in Linux. But I've no idea how to do the said task

Ok then thanks for your time and please don't hesitate if you got smth fr me

this might help you :)

Thank you buddy ?? let me go through the link.

no problem, glad I could help you :)

or lxde

why should he need a desktop env?

just plain X would be enough

just plain X would be enough

yeah

you are right

Make your file system Readonly. This allows you to plug off the system without file loss

just plain X would be enough

How so, he would need a DE , if the users are going to access it

He said he only needs one window, the browser window, right?

So the only thing he needs is the default x server with the application opened via some init script

Desktop Envs are for providing... a desktop. But he wanted a kiosk mode

It's one command: startx iceweasel

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/r-kiosk/

this helps you limiting it down

you can also try to use some wrapper instead. like nodewebkit

would be a bit of scripting but worth it

There is "Chrome for Work" which allows you to set 100+ Policies Using a JSON File (Linux) or Group Policies One like "Autostart on Crash" "Disable Exiting KIOSK Mode" "Disable Adresses but (.*)" and so on. https://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start

You just need to roll out a *nix that has all shortcuts and kernel shortcuts disabled, then autostart chromium with that settings file

A list of all settings: https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3

It's one command: startx iceweasel

Okie I didnt know we could do this. Thanks for letting know

RMS uses this trick if he has to use graphical applications ^^ He has no desktop environment either

Welcome

Yeah I think electron or node-webkit would still be safer and less bloated because it's just a web frame without user controls unless you set it up to be more than that
