| toddobryan | Is there a howto anywhere for setting up a lab with independent workstations? Something that talks about syncing configs, binaries, accounts, etc? | 04:10 |
| toddobryan | I realize thin clients would be much easier, but I don't have a powerful enough server, and the machines are good enough to run on their own. | 04:11 |
| sbalneav | toddobryan: Are you talking about simply setting up (n) copies of edubuntu, and having them look all the same? | 04:12 |
| toddobryan | That and having them stay in sync. | 04:13 |
| toddobryan | If I realize that I need to modify something, I don't want to do it 30 times. | 04:13 |
| toddobryan | Like adding a bookmark to the default Firefox or something. | 04:13 |
| sbalneav | Simplest to that would be to have the not-too-powerful server be an nfs and ldap server. That way you'll have shared home directories, and common login authentication. | 04:13 |
| toddobryan | OK. That's what I've been leaning toward. | 04:14 |
| toddobryan | I also thought about a cron script that rsync large parts of /etc, /usr, etc., on boot. With a command that students could run to do it manually if needed. | 04:15 |
| sbalneav | Well, that's not easy, even on a thin client. Remember: every user has their own home directory, so if you want to automatically add a bookmark to everyone's setup, one way or the other, you'll have a bunch of accounts to set up. Simplest is to set up a webpage/portal that has the common links, etc, and set everyones homepage to that. | 04:15 |
| toddobryan | Is there anything like All Users on Windows, or does that not exist? | 04:16 |
| sbalneav | Not really. The tighter security model for Linux makes that a touger thing to do. | 04:17 |
| toddobryan | You're right, though. A web page with all the links is probably the best way to go. | 04:18 |
| toddobryan | I can even make it local on the nfs mount. | 04:18 |
| toddobryan | I assume I can create a /home/share folder that's world readable, but only-me writable. | 04:19 |
| sbalneav | Yup, that's easy enough to do. | 04:19 |
| toddobryan | OK. So I guess I should figure this out and make a Wiki page. NonThinClientLab | 04:21 |

| pygi | hello all | 09:35 |
| bddebian | Heya pygi | 09:35 |
| pygi | hey bddebian, what's up? :) | 09:36 |
| bddebian | Trying to mull over some bug fixes. You? | 09:36 |
| pygi | libburn,as always :) | 09:39 |
| bddebian | You mean you aren't done YET? ;-P | 09:50 |
| pygi | bddebian, lol!! | 09:52 |
| pygi | bddebian, when we do a laughing session? :P | 09:54 |
| bddebian | I laugh at myself daily :-) | 09:55 |
| pygi | I mean, but YET is very, very... | 09:55 |
| pygi | ehm :) | 09:55 |
| pygi | bddebian, you wanna bugs? I have one just for you to fix :) | 09:55 |
| bddebian | I can try I suppose | 09:56 |
| === ubotu [n=ubotu@ubuntu/bot/ubotu] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| pygi | bddebian, wow, sec then :) | 09:56 |
| pygi | bddebian, http://libburn.pykix.org/ticket/1 | 09:57 |
| pygi | seems doable? | 09:57 |
| bddebian | pygi: I can look but I'm certainly no hacker | 10:03 |
| pygi | bddebian, :) | 10:03 |
| pygi | bddebian, ok, want something easier? | 10:04 |
| pygi | or you wanna work on #1? :) | 10:04 |
| bddebian | Do we have the source in Ubuntu? | 10:04 |
| pygi | of what? libburn? nop, not yet, but on the wa | 10:05 |
| pygi | way* | 10:05 |
| bddebian | pygi: Well where can I get the source from? :-) | 10:06 |
| pygi | svn co http://libburn-svn.pykix.org/trunk libburn_pykix | 10:07 |
| pygi | do that :) | 10:07 |
| bddebian | Pulling now | 10:08 |
| bddebian | Hmm, OK, where do I start? ;-P | 10:12 |
| pygi | bddebian, :) | 10:12 |
| pygi | bddebian, what about putting eltorito support into libisofs? that should be easier task | 10:13 |
| pygi | you have spec here: | 10:14 |
| pygi | http://www.phoenix.com/NR/rdonlyres/98D3219C-9CC9-4DF5-B496-A286D893E36A/0/specscdrom.pdf#search=%22el-torito%20specification%22 | 10:14 |
| bddebian | Is bug 1 talking about this macro? BURN_DRIVE_WRITING_LEADIN | 10:16 |
| pygi | bddebian, nop :) | 10:17 |
| pygi | or perhaps it is...I haven't looked into that ticket yet, that's why I'm giving it to you :) | 10:17 |
| bddebian | Well the bug is a little cloudy to me, added to the fact that I'm an idiot... | 10:18 |
| bddebian | The only place in the code that I see that the LBA is determined/defined is in the TOC_ENTRY_PLBA | 10:19 |
| pygi | bddebian, ah, as I said, feel free to choose bugs | 10:21 |
| pygi | implementing eltorito support in libisofs shouldnt be too harfd | 10:22 |
| pygi | hard* | 10:22 |
| pygi | but nevertheless, sorry for bugging, just continue what you was doing :P | 10:23 |
| pygi | I'll have to work on it someday anyway :) | 10:23 |
| bddebian | pygi: I'd love to help, I'm just kind of stupid :-( | 10:24 |
| pygi | bddebian, lol, why constantly saying that :P | 10:24 |
| bddebian | Uhm, because it's true? | 10:28 |
| pygi | nah | 10:29 |
