Ahmuck-Sri'm trying to boot another set of ltsp clients to see how well they work, however they don't have a pxe boot option which means i'll have to create a etherboot cdrom.  any hints00:53
Ahmuck-Sri need to find the chipset of a thin client01:10
Ahmuck-Sr[19:10] <Ahmuck-Sr> after trying 3 different pc, different make, model, brand, the sound still drops out after about 4-6 minutes01:10

vmlintuhighvoltage: hi, I wrote about the ldap+kerberos thoughts in edubuntu-devel and also went through the old blueprints..13:09
highvoltagevmlintu: great! I'll get to my email in just a few moments, I saw yesterday on the debian-edu list that they're discussing kerberos too13:39
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
vmlintuhighvoltage: ok, I'll have a look at debian-edu13:58
vmlintuhighvoltage: it seems like in debian-edu the plans are more or less same that we are working on right now14:08
vmlintuThere's also talk about laptop authentication with pam-ccreds etc. We tried those, but there were quite a few problems. Now it looks like sssd from fedoraproject is the solution to this14:09
vmlintuThere's more information about sssd here: http://www.opinsys.fi/user-management-with-sssd-on-shared-laptops14:10
vmlintuBasically it makes ldap/kerberos work also offline with minimum hassle. We are now testing it in one school and so far everything looks really good.14:10
highvoltagevmlintu: sounds great, I wonder if the debian-edu guys are aware of it14:21
vmlintuhighvoltage: I think debian doesn't have sssd packaged, but it's in ubuntu14:22
vmlintuI just subscribed to debian-edu14:23
vmlintuWe are now using sssd on lucid against our ldap/kerberos infrastructure running hardy14:23
highvoltagevmlintu: perhaps if debian-edu finds sssd useful they could get it into debian14:33
vmlintuI could only recommend that14:34
highvoltageyep, it's entirely up to them, would just be nice to have the implementations more or less similar if possible14:35
vmlintusssd is part of the FreeIPA project that many blueprints suggested as a solution for user management in Ubuntu14:36
vmlintuhttp://www.freeipa.org/14:36
highvoltagevmlintu: will look at it a bit later, currently in the middle of fixing some release bugs :)14:38
vmlintugood to get those fixed14:38
vmlintuI'll be online most of the evening14:39
highvoltageok great14:49

ubottuHi! Welcome to #edubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay!16:06
jongbergshi, i forgot to install italc during edubuntu installation, how do i install it from directly from dvd?16:08
alkisgjongbergs: you can just install it from synaptic like any other package...16:09
sbalneavAssuming you've got the dvd lines in your apt's sources.list, just installing it from synaptic should work16:10
sbalneavdoh16:10
sbalneavalkisg: beat me to it :)16:10
alkisg:)16:10
jongbergsalkisg, sbalneav : thanks for the tip guys, i should verify first whether the dvd is in the list..16:16
alkisgjongbergs: if you have internet access you don't need to bother with the dvd - just double click it on synaptic...16:16
jongbergsalkisg: this computer do not have internet access..will this work?16:17
alkisgIt should - give it a try...16:18
jongbergsalkisg: ok i'll give it a try..tell u back how it works out..thanks again16:19
bencrisfordhighvoltage: did you get my ping yesterday about the teams blueprint?  should I add it to the meeting agenda18:38
vmlintuhighvoltage: should I do something else about the wishlist stuff besides posting to the list?19:02
sbalneavHow the heck do we turn off all the super-duper chatty help dialogs that keep popping up in the lower right?!19:04
sbalneavOn my fresh testing install here, it's noisy as heck, but on my home box, nada :)19:04
bencrisfordsbalneav: chatty help dialogs?19:07
vmlintuI've yet to see those too..19:08
bencrisfordhighvoltage: did you get my ping about getting my ping :P?19:14
bencrisfordyou disconnected 3 seconds after i sent19:14
bencrisfordso i assumed not19:14
bencrisford"did you get my ping yesterday about the teams blueprint?  should I add it to the meeting agenda" - that one19:15
vmlintusbalneav: as you've been doing ldap related things before, do you have plans for 10.10 in that front?19:18
sbalneavvmlintu: Yes, hopefully19:22
vmlintusbalneav: I remember there was a spec for user management tool, but I couldn't find it anymore19:26
vmlintuIf there are plans on this front, I'd be really interested in seeing if I can help somewhere.19:29
vmlintuI wrote about our needs on edubuntu-devel and I understand that not everyone is facing the problems, but I hope that different use cases don't end up using incompatible solutions19:30
highvoltagevmlintu: posting to the list is fine, it's early days so it's more of a brainstorming phase atm. thanks!19:34
highvoltagebencrisford: no I plugged in a USB disk into my mac mini and it just froze up19:34
stgrabermeeting in 15min19:46
highvoltagemeeting in 2min19:58
bencrisfordhighvoltage: okey doke, mind if i say something about that blueprint19:59
bencrisfordin the meeting i mean ;)20:00
bencrisfordisforinsects: hi20:32
highvoltageisforinsects: specialization is?20:45
bencrisfordhighvoltage: i forgot to mention in the meeting, a suggestion on the wiki for edubuntu-advocacy to become a member of ubuntu-marketing20:46
bencrisfordsounds like a good idea to me, what do you think?20:47
highvoltagebencrisford: I remember at some point there was a decision to just merge edubuntu-advocacy to into ubuntu-marketing...20:50
highvoltagebencrisford: but I don't think it ever happened, I think your suggestion is good it's probably not a bad idea to show the relationship to ubuntu-marketing in LP20:50
bencrisfordhighvoltage: shall i add edubuntu-advocacy to ubuntu-marketing then?21:01
highvoltagebencrisford: I can't think of a reason not to, my brain doesn't want to brain atm. Yes I think you can go ahead and do that21:04
highvoltageif there's any reason not to someone will probably speak up :)21:04
bencrisfordhighvoltage: haha, i know what you mean, ive been off school for 2 weeks barely sleeping, and now i'm back at school i seem to have forgotten how to :(21:05
bencrisfordill add the team, and if theres anything wrong with it, like you say, I imagine someone will say something :)21:06
highvoltageyup21:08
bencrisfordhighvoltage: what was your NerdScore again?21:38
highvoltagebencrisford: 80.21:39
highvoltagebencrisford: I'm surprised it wasn't lower21:39
bencrisfordhighvoltage: 95 :(21:39
highvoltagehehe :)21:39
bencrisfordim too young to be *that* much of a nerd D=, I prefer the word 'geek' personally21:40
vmlintuhighvoltage: I'm gonna bug you with one more thing - do you know what would be the best way of contacting the server team about the ldap stuff to know if they have some plans?21:41
bencrisfordvmlintu: the ubuntu-server team?21:43
bencrisfordi think they're on the #ubuntu-server channel :)21:43
* bencrisford finds mailing list21:43
vmlintuthanks, I'll try there.. the discussion there usually more about lamp than anything else, so it confused me..21:44
bencrisfordubuntu-server(AT)lists.ubuntu.com - thats the development mailing list i think21:45
highvoltagevmlintu: the ubuntu-server channel is ok, but the best way is really to use the mailing list21:45
vmlintuok21:46
bencrisfordim off for the night22:14
bencrisfordsee y'all tommorrow22:14
