2012-03-28 Acoustics Lab: Student account cannot save customized material in SolidWorks
The user has to have write permission to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Solidworks folder.
Changed security settings on all acoustics lab computers, and grant local login users write permission to above folder.

Removed older version Solidworks, installed Solidworks 2011.

2012-03-23 Optics Lab: Change to start Ubuntu in unity-2d mode
sudo vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter
user-session=ubuntu-2d
allow-guest=false

2012-02-27 Optics Lab: Create login script for optics lab Linux computers

1. Create a login script to run xawtv once and then killed the process. Then automatically load system monitor, terminal, and xawtv.

vi /usr/bin/login
#!/bin/sh -e
xawtv & sleep 2                    #run xawtv and wait for 2 seconds
pkill xawtv & sleep 2              #kill xawtv and wait for 2 seconds
gnome-system-monitor & sleep 2     #run System-Monitor and wait for 2 seconds 
gnome-terminal & sleep 2           #run Terminal and wait for 2 seconds
xawtv &                            #run xawtv again
exit 0

2. Make the login file executable by everyone

chmod +x login

3. Make the login script run under all users login

vi /etc/xdg/autostart/loginscript.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Login Script
Name=LoginScript
Exec=/usr/bin/login
Terminal=false
GenericName=
Type=Application
Categories=
