![]() ![]() It worked ok in QEMU, but QEMU hasn't worked for me in a while. It has to hook Windows components, like the task manager, to "lock down" the computer, therefore, it will install, but never start up when run in Wine. To address other Concerns, no it doesn't run in Wine. Personally, I think the admin for this thing here is either in denial of being ripped off on their contract with their limited funds, angry for posting this on a public website, or both. My school's IT department doesn't really care about my views on the matter, but hopefully some other schools will read it with an open mind. I wrote an article on this program, including the ideas of VMs/second_computers/phones/group_tests, locking out Linux, OS instability from its bugs, ways of running IM clients in the background with it, etc. I gave up on most college because either test out of the class, didn't have what I wanted to take, or seriously wasn't what I signed up for. And I mean your kinda smart person maybe they'll see it your way if not maybe just ditch the class and try to test out of it, they don't really seem to know what they're doing but like have some patience. I mean I'm glad ubuntu doesn't run really gay apps like that. In short might want to explain these problems to your teacher try to use some reverse psychology of how its not hard enough against cheating rather than lamenting on difficulties you have been having. I once made the excuse using anything that wasn't formed with peer review is against my religion as an atheist but whatever you want to say. but you don't like open source systems nvm then don't try holding me responsible. Perhaps if I had the source or knew what it was doing it would be better oh. If your failing to send in stuff just say well heck I don't know what that program you gave me is doing its just not sending it in. Is it like everyday assignments you go through this for? I never understood teachers who graded you on how many times you want to wipeout/crash before you understand something the more the BETTER! That's just standard safety in learning fail fail and fail some more until you've made all 3000 some ways how not to make a light bulb. Most colleges have a special place to go for testing though if you really wanted to show that you aren't cheating on things. Yes I think this program will probably work virtualized based on that assumption. ![]() I find that highly prejudice against low income people and their computer accessibility. Wow as if most people don't have more than one computer to cheat on lol. Just thought I would warn all those students out their that love Ubuntu. I've tried to get Wine to run the browser but it doesn't work. This is really troubling because I would love to use Ubuntu exclusively but am unable to do so until I'm done with school. Which means you'll earn an F! for trying to support open source! ![]() So, if you only have Ubuntu on your system you're screwed because without the LockDown Browser you can't take your exam. It does this in order to stop people from cheating. For instance, Pidgin, FireFox, Word, etc. The LockDown Browser supports Windows and Mac but not Linux! When launched the browser automatically shuts down unnecessary applications that may be running. My school now requires me to take the test with a new web browser called: "LockDown Browser" by Respondus. The problems comes when I try to take an online test. This is especially true when you take an Online course.įor the three years that I've been a MN student I haven't had a problem using Ubuntu until recently. The reason they are requiring this is because more and more classes have online exams. Major Universities such as the University of Minnesota and other MN schools now require students to have a Windows OS. ![]()
