I'm struggling to put together a pc for my daughters kindergarten class. The hardware is a PIII 450Mhz with 256MB Ram 80GB HDD and an on board intel 82810 series Graphic Card.
I've installed ubuntu from the mini iso with no packages selected and then LXDE with
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install lxde
For the teacher I've installed Libreoffice Writer and Calc, Osmo, Xfburn, VLC and Wine (she wants to use some win based VCDs in class) and of course gpicview.
My problem is that although pcmanfm "sees" the mounted usb drive or camera I plug in and I can view their content, if I choose to open a jpg, gpicview opens nothing! For gpicview the mounted device does not exist. Same thing happens to VLC if I try to open an .avi contained in the drive...
I've found various solutions for the "permission" problem with pcmanfm and usb drives but this doesn't seem to cover my case...
Any ideas?
