lnsLaserJock, is there anythign special i need to do when using pessulus to apply settings? I tried disabling commandline, but it isn't working at all12:55
LaserJocklns: hmm, I'm not really sure12:55
LaserJockI haven't used pessulus, just sabayon12:55
lnsoh ok12:56
lnsunless i'm missing something, it doesn't look like pessulus works at all01:00
lnsi set something, exit (even set as mandatory value) something like disable commandline or disable print setup, but it has no effect01:00
lnsweird01:00
lnsweirder - even changing in gconf-editor doesn't do anything..i must be missing something01:05

ograup to edgy its called live ... since feisty its called desktop02:58
Petarisahh02:58
Petarisok02:58
Petarisso you boot the live cd and install from there like with xubuntu?02:58
ografor a workstation install, yes03:01
Petarisright, workstation is close enough functionally to ltsp to test the OpenLDAP stuff right?03:03
ograwell ... workstation is a workstation, no ltsp involved ... to get ltsp going with ldap you need to tweak the ssh pam settings ... for a workstation you use the gdm pam settings03:07

Burgworkthere is already conduit on the walls, so it is pretty good08:04
Burgworkthen we need to install all the new furniture, etc.08:04
Burgworkhighvoltage: have you played with ltsp fat clients?08:05
highvoltageI have indeed08:05
highvoltagewe've implemented it in the digital doorways08:05
cbx33Burgwork, sent to you08:05
cbx33Burgwork, are you thinking of adding that to the chapter?08:06
Burgworkno, just wondering for my own sake08:06
cbx33oh hehe08:06
cbx33phew08:06
cbx33so how is the chap looking so far?08:06
Burgworkif you are nfs mouting /, how do you deal with things like static IPs?08:06
BurgworkI have no idea. I don't remember anything I did last night :)08:06
cbx33heh :) - oh man :p08:06
highvoltageBurgwork: which static IP's?08:07
Burgworkhighvoltage: if you set a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces and you are nfs mounting /, you will get the same IP for each thin client08:07
highvoltageBurgwork: you specify the IP range in dhcpd.conf, and you can specify certain ip addresses to certain mac addresses08:07
Burgworktrue, I forgot about that08:07
highvoltageBurgwork: ah. no, all of them use dhcp08:07
Burgworkno, I was thinking of my own office, wherein I want static IPs on the computers to facilitate ssh08:08
Burgworkcurrently I run pure fat clients, with desktop multiplier on them08:08
Burgworkthinking of switching to ltsp fat clients with d-m installed int eh chroot08:08
highvoltageyeah, then you could just specify the addresses to the clients in dhcpd.conf08:08
