The free alternative is HTML5 in web browsers. This is going to solve 
itself as the plugin is even removed from new Android 
installations/upgrades/devices, and the web site owners probably soon 
stop using flash (or export to HTML/JS if it is possible) so that the

The problem is not the start order of the services. The problem is 
that network-manager starts connecting eth0 in background. While that

issues by network-manager.




Okay I see. I thought it was blocking until the IP address was offered. 
If this is reproduced in plain Debian too, I suggest moving this bug to

 Given the low level of progress at the moment, I wonder what it would
 take to improve it, and thus what you believe would improve it. :)


I think moving to Git would improve it as well. Then it will be easier to
have different branches for different versions of Debian and branches of

 Last week our new Squeeze installation was tested.

 Server used was a 4x quad core server, 16GB RAM with 4 SAS disks
 Gigabit network to all clients
 Clients, Acer Veriton G480L with 2 GB ram

 45 clients booted as thin clients. Booting takes several minutes.
 All users opening firefox, openoffice and a pdf file (okular).

 The result was a server load of 60.

Re: Cannot print from diskless-workstations

Den 23. mai 2012 11:07, skrev Petter Reinholdtsen:

[Marius Kotsbak]

I guess the diskless workstations needs a config that says it can
use the server as printer server, and it works with the thin clients
since the print server is local.

I doubt this, as the default for a CUPS client is to see all announced
printers.


I have never seen this, but I usually just have a local CUPS 
client/server connected to a network printer directly.




The way CUPS work, one set up a printer on one machine, and the
existence of this printer is broadcasted on the local network.
Clients pick up these printeres automatically and show them to the
user.  So no special setup should be needed on the clients.


How does this work? Is it using SMB/Samba?

I see that it is configurable where the printers are announced. Could it

broadcasts?


There was another user having the same problem just now, so I suspect 
this might be a bug or regression since earlier versions (or few used 
diskless workstations before).


We maybe should also set the environment variable CUPS_SERVER to point

 Nope, the documentation is still lacking such details for GOsa. I tried
 though to add the machine under administration-Systems-Net device.
 I don't have time this month to work on that documentation.

That is okay. As soon as we get reproducable instruction on how to get
this working, anybody should be able to do that. We should not close
this bug report until it is in place (or another replaces it).
  
 IP: 10.0.2.51
 Base: /Students
 MAC: the mac I found using dhcp leases
 Enable dhcp  Enable DNS.
 I never tested with Bases other than /, so if it doesn't work with
 /Students, try /.

Ok.

 Are there more options that needs to be changed from default?
 You need to add the machine to the workstation-hosts netgroup (in the
 NIS Netgroups-tab or in Administration-NIS Netgroups).

Ah, I did not see them since they are at Base=/ and by default only
Base=/Students were visible.

But after doing that, it actually works :)

The crucial points to add to the documentation are then:

(* diskless workstations must be added to ldap. And a howto add all
hosts in a network? And how to find the MAC address using the CD).
* Adding the host to the netgroup workstatin-hosts (note about Base=/)
* /usr/sbin/ldap2bind (sudo ...)

Bug#602591: allow to choose different IP settings - use case?

2011-07-02 Thread Marius Kotsbak
Hi!

What is really the use case for this? I can see two that the user thinks
about:

1) There is already a network set up that the user wants to use.

This will fail if there is already a DHCP server on that network (which
I guess it often is) since Debian-edu provides its own. It will also
fail if the network is already using some of the IP addresses Debian-edu
has preconfigured. Is the request here to be able to configure all of
the network config to appropriate IP addresses in the existing network?

2) User already has a router that he wants to use.

If this is not the rare case that there is a dedicated network set up
with no DHCP server (but with other network config than Debian-edu
uses), it should be easy to configure that network with the correct
settings. This should just be to add a switch and connect to an unused
port of the existing router, or add another software based (e.g.
IPCop/floppyfw) or hardware based router.

 The profile workstation is the one you need if you want a functioning 
 machine, that is not a server. So this profile is most certainly useful.

Ah, thats right. The good old workstation with hard drive. So could the
choice be between one of these:

* Main server
* Thin client server
* Main server + thin client server
* Workstation
* Roaming workstation
* Standalone
* Minimal

Maybe we can combine roaming and normal workstation? Does the roaming
version contain something that would harm workstation use?

Bug#632464: diskless machine probably not added in GOsa

 Hi,

 usually this happens when the home directory cannot be mounted.

   Did you add the diskless machine in GOa and run ldap2bind after that?

You mean ldap2netgroup?

 Whenever I tested that (and added the machine correctly to LDAP), 
 things worked fine here.

Bug#588510: rename thin-client-server profile to ltsp-server profile

2011-07-01 Thread Marius Kotsbak
Hi!

I agree that the name should probably be changed, but until that is
done, we need a way for the user to get a clue to which profile should
be used if only diskless workstations are to be used!

I suggest expanding the description for Thin client server with: This
also provides support for diskless (fat) clients.

Bug#632395: debian-edu-install: Debian Edu profile selection step is confusing, simplify

2011-07-01 Thread Marius Kotsbak
Package: debian-edu-install
Version: 1.519
Severity: minor
Tags: squeeze

The list of the different profiles has been expanded with new items,
multiple
selections are possible,  and there are some dependencies/conflicts between
them.

I suggest that it should be changed to use radio boxes for the valid
combinations of profiles (at least the useful ones). The list will then
probably be a choice between one of:

* Main server
* Thin client server
* Main server + thin client server
* Roaming workstation
* Standalone
* Minimal

I guess workstation profile is not useful in itself and should be
hidden and
just be included where it is needed behind the scenes.

If this is too drastic change, at least the choices made in the checkboxes
should reflect the rules about valid combinations and adjust accordingly
in the
dialog (e.g. selecting Standalone should deselect all other checkboxes).

Better button text on the screenshot button in installer

2011-06-04 Thread Marius Kotsbak

Hi!

The Screenshot button is not so confusing in the english version, but 
the norwegian translation Skjermbilde, should be changed into Lagre 
skjermbilde or Ta skjermbilde (save/make screenshot) to remove the 
doubt about what it is supposed to do.


I guess the same for the german: Bildschirmfoto, should be changed 
into Bildschirmfoto speichern?

 Hi,
 
 our 13th grade computer science course deals with java programming. So far we

 options for MS Win here, I tend rather to use Eclipse (which I tested under

 anyone has achieved to install a working instance of Eclipse right there?

I had no problem installing eclipse on my debian testing box at work.
You first though have to have a working java 1.4.x installed.

You can start with the kernel parameter DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low and get
