[02:36] <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
[02:48] <cilkay> james_: I don't understand the "pxe boot" and server part. Please explain.
[02:50] <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.
[02:52] <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.
[03:33] <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.
[03:54] <cilkay> james_: I thought you were pxe/netbooting the server, which didn't make sense.

[12:55] <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?
[13:47] <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?
[14:25] <wima> does anyone know how i can avoid the floppy icons to show up on the desktop?
[19:28] <LaserJock> ogra: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tuxtype/+bug/261991 doesn't need a FFe does it?
[21:08] <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!
[21:10] <HedgeMage> McLinux:  Perhaps you used and Edubuntu CD by accident, or perhaps you installed the package "Edubuntu-desktop"
[21:11] <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
[21:13] <McLinux> could it have been from one of the updates I downloaded?
[21:17] <HedgeMage> no, updates just bring your existing stuff up to current versions.
[21:18] <McLinux> hmm, how do you change desktop packages (I've had ubuntu a few months but I'm just starting  to play with it!)?
[21:21] <HedgeMage> McLinux:  just install ubuntu-desktop and remove any edubuntu stuff you don't want
[21:21] <McLinux> Thanks
[23:45] <LaserJock> sbalneav: around?
