| james_ | I am having an issue where after several students log in the server slows down and the other network card shuts down so no ssh access during this condition. the only way I have been able to fix this is to power off / reset the server and everything is fine for a while.. opteron / 2gb ram edubuntu 8.04 / pxeboot | 02:36 |
|---|---|---|
| james_ | has anyone seen anything like this before? btw. it's edubuntu amd64 | 02:36 |
| cilkay | james_: I don't understand the "pxe boot" and server part. Please explain. | 02:48 |
| cilkay | I've had strange things happening with LTSP, such as the first netboot is very fast, faster than a local hard disk boot actually, and each subsequent one gets slower to the point where by the third or fourth, it may never boot. | 02:50 |
| cilkay | The server certainly isn't underpowered with a P4 2.8GHz and 2GB of RAM. | 02:50 |
| cilkay | Today, when I changed a GDM theme and logged out to see the new theme, all I saw was a black screen. The keyboard wasn't responsive. I couldn't ssh into the machine to see what was going on. "No route to host." When I power cycled the machine, it was fine. There is something funny going on. | 02:52 |
| james_ | That behavior is very similar to what I am seeing. pxe boot is the same as netboot and the server is the main computer. | 03:33 |
| cilkay | james_: I thought you were pxe/netbooting the server, which didn't make sense. | 03:54 |

| wima | Since the last upgrade, i have the problem that local devices from one user show up for all users. | 12:55 |
| wima | so i'm having about 20 floppys on my desktop | 12:55 |
| wima | does anyone know what's causing this? | 12:55 |
| carwash | In skolelinux/debian-edu there is an install option for workstations automatically authenticating against the debian-edu server and mounting home directories. Is there a similar option in edubuntu? If not, how would one achieve a similar goal in ubuntu? | 13:47 |
| wima | does anyone know how i can avoid the floppy icons to show up on the desktop? | 14:25 |

| McLinux | Hi - Can anyone tell me why I ended up with edubuntu when I installed ubuntu? I haven't noticed any difference but the name, but I'm a bit curious is all! | 21:08 |
| HedgeMage | McLinux: Perhaps you used and Edubuntu CD by accident, or perhaps you installed the package "Edubuntu-desktop" | 21:10 |
| HedgeMage | McLinux: the only differences between edubuntu and ubuntu are the art and packages included by default -- you can actually turn one into the other and back again with ease | 21:11 |
| McLinux | could it have been from one of the updates I downloaded? | 21:13 |
| HedgeMage | no, updates just bring your existing stuff up to current versions. | 21:17 |
| McLinux | hmm, how do you change desktop packages (I've had ubuntu a few months but I'm just starting to play with it!)? | 21:18 |
| HedgeMage | McLinux: just install ubuntu-desktop and remove any edubuntu stuff you don't want | 21:21 |
| McLinux | Thanks | 21:21 |
| LaserJock | sbalneav: around? | 23:45 |
