[00:53] i'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 hints [01:10] i need to find the chipset of a thin client [01:10] [19:10] after trying 3 different pc, different make, model, brand, the sound still drops out after about 4-6 minutes === ara_ is now known as ara === ara is now known as Guest45645 === Guest45645 is now known as ara_ === ara_ is now known as ara [13:09] highvoltage: hi, I wrote about the ldap+kerberos thoughts in edubuntu-devel and also went through the old blueprints.. [13:39] vmlintu: 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 too === ogra_ is now known as ogra [13:58] highvoltage: ok, I'll have a look at debian-edu [14:08] highvoltage: it seems like in debian-edu the plans are more or less same that we are working on right now [14:09] There'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 this [14:10] There's more information about sssd here: http://www.opinsys.fi/user-management-with-sssd-on-shared-laptops [14:10] Basically 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. [14:21] vmlintu: sounds great, I wonder if the debian-edu guys are aware of it [14:22] highvoltage: I think debian doesn't have sssd packaged, but it's in ubuntu [14:23] I just subscribed to debian-edu [14:23] We are now using sssd on lucid against our ldap/kerberos infrastructure running hardy [14:33] vmlintu: perhaps if debian-edu finds sssd useful they could get it into debian [14:34] I could only recommend that [14:35] yep, it's entirely up to them, would just be nice to have the implementations more or less similar if possible [14:36] sssd is part of the FreeIPA project that many blueprints suggested as a solution for user management in Ubuntu [14:36] http://www.freeipa.org/ [14:38] vmlintu: will look at it a bit later, currently in the middle of fixing some release bugs :) [14:38] good to get those fixed [14:39] I'll be online most of the evening [14:49] ok great [14:59] Morning all [15:00] evening [15:09] greetings sbalneav [15:39] morning [16:06] !hi [16:06] Hi! 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! [16:08] hi, i forgot to install italc during edubuntu installation, how do i install it from directly from dvd? [16:09] jongbergs: you can just install it from synaptic like any other package... [16:10] Assuming you've got the dvd lines in your apt's sources.list, just installing it from synaptic should work [16:10] doh [16:10] alkisg: beat me to it :) [16:10] :) [16:16] alkisg, sbalneav : thanks for the tip guys, i should verify first whether the dvd is in the list.. [16:16] jongbergs: if you have internet access you don't need to bother with the dvd - just double click it on synaptic... [16:17] alkisg: this computer do not have internet access..will this work? [16:18] It should - give it a try... [16:19] alkisg: ok i'll give it a try..tell u back how it works out..thanks again [18:38] highvoltage: did you get my ping yesterday about the teams blueprint? should I add it to the meeting agenda [19:02] highvoltage: should I do something else about the wishlist stuff besides posting to the list? [19:04] How the heck do we turn off all the super-duper chatty help dialogs that keep popping up in the lower right?! [19:04] On my fresh testing install here, it's noisy as heck, but on my home box, nada :) [19:07] sbalneav: chatty help dialogs? [19:08] I've yet to see those too.. [19:14] highvoltage: did you get my ping about getting my ping :P? [19:14] you disconnected 3 seconds after i sent [19:14] so i assumed not [19:15] "did you get my ping yesterday about the teams blueprint? should I add it to the meeting agenda" - that one [19:18] sbalneav: as you've been doing ldap related things before, do you have plans for 10.10 in that front? [19:22] vmlintu: Yes, hopefully [19:26] sbalneav: I remember there was a spec for user management tool, but I couldn't find it anymore [19:29] If there are plans on this front, I'd be really interested in seeing if I can help somewhere. [19:30] I 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 solutions [19:34] vmlintu: posting to the list is fine, it's early days so it's more of a brainstorming phase atm. thanks! [19:34] bencrisford: no I plugged in a USB disk into my mac mini and it just froze up [19:46] meeting in 15min [19:58] meeting in 2min [19:59] highvoltage: okey doke, mind if i say something about that blueprint [20:00] in the meeting i mean ;) [20:32] isforinsects: hi [20:45] isforinsects: specialization is? [20:46] highvoltage: i forgot to mention in the meeting, a suggestion on the wiki for edubuntu-advocacy to become a member of ubuntu-marketing [20:47] sounds like a good idea to me, what do you think? [20:50] bencrisford: I remember at some point there was a decision to just merge edubuntu-advocacy to into ubuntu-marketing... [20:50] bencrisford: 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 LP [21:01] highvoltage: shall i add edubuntu-advocacy to ubuntu-marketing then? [21:04] bencrisford: 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 that [21:04] if there's any reason not to someone will probably speak up :) [21:05] highvoltage: 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 :( [21:06] ill add the team, and if theres anything wrong with it, like you say, I imagine someone will say something :) [21:08] yup [21:38] highvoltage: what was your NerdScore again? [21:39] bencrisford: 80. [21:39] bencrisford: I'm surprised it wasn't lower [21:39] highvoltage: 95 :( [21:39] hehe :) [21:40] im too young to be *that* much of a nerd D=, I prefer the word 'geek' personally [21:41] highvoltage: 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? [21:43] vmlintu: the ubuntu-server team? [21:43] i think they're on the #ubuntu-server channel :) [21:43] * bencrisford finds mailing list [21:44] thanks, I'll try there.. the discussion there usually more about lamp than anything else, so it confused me.. [21:45] ubuntu-server(AT)lists.ubuntu.com - thats the development mailing list i think [21:45] vmlintu: the ubuntu-server channel is ok, but the best way is really to use the mailing list [21:46] ok [22:14] im off for the night [22:14] see y'all tommorrow
