Exercise 3: Collette Consulting


Start YaST, and supply the root password if prompted. Beneath the Software menu, choose Install and Remove Software. In the Search box, type desktop and click on Search. In the right frame, beneath packages, choose as many GNOME packages as you think the vice president might need (documentation, audio files, games, and so on), but be certain to choose the following:

  • gnome2-SuSE

  • gnome-applets

  • gnome-common

  • gnome-desktop

  • gnome-panel

  • gnome-session

  • gnome-terminal

  • gnome-utils

Click Check Dependencies, and all should report OK. Click Accept, and a number of Automatic Changes will appear; click Continue and insert media as prompted. Before closing YaST, create a user to be the vice president of Collette Consulting; then click the Applications menu and choose Logout.

Enter the username and password for the vice president, and click Session; choose GNOME Desktop. When the desktop appears, choose System from the menu, and then Personal Settings and Accessibility. Click the box to Enable keyboard accessibility features, as shown in Figure 4.5, and check the box to Enable Sticky Keys. Click Close.

Figure 4.5. Configure the accessibility options.


TIP

You should also disable the option if two keys are pressed together. If you don't do this, you can't test the Alt+F12 shortcut.


Still in the Personal Settings menu, choose Shortcuts and locate the action Lock Screen. Click on it and enter the keyboard combination Alt+F12, as shown in Figure 4.6; then click Close.

Exit the Settings dialog and verify that your settings work.
