connie | hi ogra: i get message that : Reading package lists... Done | 16:00 |
connie | Building dependency tree | 16:00 |
connie | Reading state information... Done | 16:00 |
connie | E: Couldn't find package ltsp-server-standalone | 16:00 |
connie | maybe something else I need to type | 16:00 |
connie | well anyone else had the same problem | 16:01 |
musashi | i have an ltsp install of hardy. it was working. i ran the updates including the ssh update which generated new keys. now the clients can't log in. could it be the ssh update? how do i fix that? | 16:01 |
connie | i installed hardy desktop as i don't have the alternate cd | 16:03 |
connie | followed the howto on the wiki but it seems "ltsp-server-standalone" does not exist | 16:03 |
connie | :'( no help? | 16:06 |
musashi | for neither of us it seems. maybe everyone is getting coffee | 16:06 |
ogra | musashi, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2008-May/004052.html | 16:07 |
musashi | ogra: thanks. checking... | 16:07 |
ogra | connie, did you install without any network connection ? it pulls it from the archive (ltsp-server-standalone is not on the CD) | 16:08 |
ogra | connie, look in the software properties and make sure that you have main enabled and use an online mirror | 16:09 |
* ogra has to go | 16:09 | |
musashi | thanks ogra, looks like that will work. | 16:10 |
connie | tx | 16:12 |

steven_ | hi | 18:20 |
steven_ | i have some question about the LTSP function of edubuntu | 18:20 |
steven_ | i actually don't understand it... | 18:21 |
steven_ | can anyone explain it a bit | 18:21 |
johnny | what don't you understand? | 18:21 |
steven_ | what it really is, they say you can use clients to sign in in something with older PCs | 18:21 |
johnny | older pcs.. much more powerful server | 18:22 |
steven_ | i have this, a classroom full of PIII PCs where i need to find a distro for | 18:23 |
steven_ | they have'nt anough RAM for ubuntu i think | 18:23 |
johnny | well ltsp will let you centralized the management of them | 18:23 |
steven_ | so i thought about fluxbuntu, but i read the edubuntu LTSP thing | 18:23 |
steven_ | on 1 PC, a faster pc | 18:23 |
johnny | yes | 18:23 |
steven_ | do you have to install edubuntu on the slower ones? | 18:24 |
johnny | no | 18:25 |
johnny | on the one fast one | 18:25 |
johnny | altho edubuntu is now just an addon cd | 18:26 |
johnny | i think you can install ltsp from the alternative cd as an option directly.. or any ubuntu hardy cd | 18:26 |
johnny | via synaptic or apt-get as usual | 18:26 |
steven_ | so, install edubuntu on 1 pc and install ltsp with same cd | 18:27 |
steven_ | other menu item | 18:27 |
johnny | if you already want it on the cd, i think you need to get the alternative hardy cd.. | 18:29 |
johnny | i think i'd just get it from the internet tho personally | 18:29 |
steven_ | ??? i don't understand that last 2 messages | 18:30 |
steven_ | what do i do with the slower pcs | 18:30 |
steven_ | livecd doesn't support it | 18:30 |
steven_ | also no installation | 18:30 |
steven_ | i cant use apt-get than right? | 18:30 |
johnny | the slower pcs network boot | 18:33 |
johnny | off the powerful one | 18:33 |
johnny | and run almost all programs from the powerful | 18:33 |
steven_ | network boot? | 18:56 |
steven_ | how exactly? with a other type edubuntu installation | 18:56 |
johnny | huH/ | 18:58 |
johnny | no.. they download the stuff they need over the local network | 18:58 |
steven_ | but how | 18:59 |
johnny | pxe boot | 18:59 |
steven_ | you can't do anything without anything installed at the pcs | 18:59 |
johnny | that's the specific name | 18:59 |
johnny | yes you can :) | 18:59 |
steven_ | right from bios? | 18:59 |
johnny | the pcs download the kernel, and the very basics of the operating system | 18:59 |
johnny | it happens after the bios | 19:00 |
johnny | but no disks are involved | 19:00 |
steven_ | they download it everytime they are rebooted | 19:00 |
johnny | unless your machines can't network boot.. | 19:00 |
johnny | yes | 19:00 |
steven_ | howmany PCs can 1 master pc stand? | 19:00 |
johnny | depends on the spec | 19:00 |
johnny | check the edubuntu handbook | 19:01 |
johnny | for the equation | 19:01 |
steven_ | does it work good? | 19:01 |
johnny | it depends on the specs :) | 19:01 |
steven_ | for advanced presentation making and browsing, let's say 25 PIII 500Mhz 128 RAM and master of 512 RAM 1.6GHz or something | 19:02 |
johnny | you'd want more ram | 19:02 |
steven_ | or maybe 2GHz | 19:02 |
johnny | in the master | 19:02 |
johnny | and a dual core machine i think | 19:02 |
johnny | look at the edubuntu handbook | 19:03 |
steven_ | and when i split to 12 - 12 | 19:03 |
steven_ | ok | 19:03 |
steven_ | :p | 19:03 |
steven_ | ty i just read | 19:15 |
steven_ | 256 + (128 * users) MB of memory | 19:15 |
steven_ | quit much | 19:15 |
steven_ | :p | 19:15 |
steven_ | does edubuntu has other advantages for schools | 19:16 |
johnny | well you could minimize it by using fluxbox and other smaller things | 19:16 |
johnny | you can visualize the entire classroom | 19:16 |
johnny | watch screens | 19:16 |
johnny | blank screens | 19:16 |
steven_ | but just for a PC-)room | 19:16 |
johnny | cut off people doing thngs they shouldn't | 19:16 |
steven_ | that's usefull indeed | 19:17 |
steven_ | but i think edubuntu shows that childy | 19:17 |
steven_ | is it possible to manage PCs in ubuntu | 19:18 |
johnny | yes.. edubuntu is just an addon cd with educational apps | 19:19 |
johnny | and some artwork | 19:19 |
johnny | you can do it all with any ubuntu | 19:19 |
steven_ | aah, do you maybe know the application name? or package name? | 19:20 |
steven__ | aah, do you maybe know the application name? or package name? | 19:21 |
johnny | for? | 19:24 |
steven__ | checking what other people do in a local network | 19:30 |
steven__ | like the school-classroom network | 19:30 |
