Old but new again: Deep Freeze alternatives

Post by edmkpl »

I am setting up some laptops for public use and want to freeze them in a specific state. When trying to install Ofric and adding the PPA I got the message that it doesn't support focal. Any suggestions or alternatives? I have installed Mint MATE 20.1.

I say there is no Ofric. But regardless, you need to tell us how you tried to install Ofric and what the problem was. Instead of saying "I got the message that it doesn't support focal", you need to give us the exact error message.

My apologies for the misspelling I was referencing Ofris.

Here are all the steps I have done.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tldm217/tahutek.net
and the result was

Code: Select all

Cannot add PPA: '' This PPA does not support focal''. 
That is as far as I was able to get.

What installation instructions are you following? I don't see any desktop software available here:

They do have a mobile app in the lower right corner.
