To lock the Mate panel install dconf-editor and go to
/org/mate/panel/general and tick the locked-down option .
This will prevent modifing the panel so you can’t make mistakes like deleting a item .
Hello,
is there a way to lock panel for all users?
We need to use several computers in a lab and its not good people removing panels.
Thank you.
I am not sure but this should work :
Open terminal
cd /etc/profile.d
sudo nano touch panellock.sh
sudo nano panellock.sh
paste the content withing quotes
"
#!/bin/sh
dconf write /org/mate/panel/general/locked-down true
"
save the file
chmod +x panellock.sh
then restart the system and enter as another user to see if it has effect .
– Using the method to load topmenu canberra module for Topmenu applet - By WebUpload team !
It worked !!
Thank you, master Iv.
@Wimpy How can this be solved . It is a tip on how to lock the panel after all .
Please be aware, although the TS did not specify this, this can be undone by your users by simply opening a terminal and writing dconf write /org/mate/panel/general/locked-down false. From there they've reverted your "lock".
