How to STOP changing of wallpapers automatically on DHCP on Ubuntu OS

naveen_cs321 · 10-07-2013, 07:22 AM

Hi All,

We have been provided with Ubuntu client attached to our corporate network. They keep on changing the wallpapers automatically even if i change one locally by myself. Can anyone suggest what to do so that the wallpaper can not be changed on DHCP.

Thanks in Advance !

first of all, i don't think wallpapers change via DHCP, they CAN be changed via network, especially if home directories are stored on a file server, but i would check with your superiors at your company to see if changing the wallpaper doesn't violate company policy first.

not the answer you're looking for i'm sure, but we're not allowed to help you break the rules.

Thanks Frieza for the reply, its not about breaking the policy always, something comes out of curiosity as well. we should know the stuffs and implementation is in our hand. Knife can be used to cut vegetables and in other sense to KILL

Expect an answer to my query !!

Check with your IT staff. This would be the best thing to do. They know the system and what it would take and what would fit policy too.

They probably don't bite.
