Parental Control in Ubuntu 14.04
There are some good solutions for doing Parental Control in Ubuntu 14.04. One is SelfControl which is a fork from the Mac OSX version (installation instructions). But, one of the SelfControl's shortfall is that It only does the web content filtering, and without a scheduling functionality (It only allows you to block a certain website in an amount of time). Luckily, there is another Parental Control software for Linux called gnome-nanny. Beside web content filtering, gnome-nanny also helps you to control the PC, mail client, and Intant messaging use time:
To install gnome-nanny in Ubuntu 14.04:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boamaod/nanny-test
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nanny
- Official repo: https://github.com/GNOME/nanny
To install gnome-nanny in Ubuntu 14.04:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boamaod/nanny-test
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nanny
- Nanny's Ubuntu packaging repo: https://github.com/boamaod/nanny-ubuntu
- Nanny's Ubuntu PPA: https://launchpad.net/~boamaod/+archive/ubuntu/nanny-test
thank you, your instruction did help me. Wondering why cannot use ppa:nanny with 14.04. Anyway, thanks :)
