[12:13] <mssmss> Hi
[12:13] <mssmss> I upgraded from 8.04LTS to 10.04 LTS and clients would not connect anymore ..
[12:16] <mssmss> On ltsp-build-client --arch i386, I am getting the error :
[12:16] <mssmss> error: LTSP client installation ended abnormally
[12:16] <mssmss> what am I doing wrong ?
[12:27] <mssmss> Hi
[19:21] <mhall119> dinda: are you going to be at UDS at all?
[19:23] <dinda> mhall119: it's looking doubtful
[19:23] <dinda> mhall119: just listening on the plenaries right now
[19:24] <mhall119> michelle says :(
[19:24] <mhall119> do you have anything prepared for your server in a box session?
[19:28] <dinda> mhall119: will try to participate remotely - that is a general requirements discussion, to see what services would make sense for that product
[19:29] <mhall119> ok
[19:29] <mhall119> if you're not there, I'll try to keep it going
[19:30] <dinda> mhall119: I can't believe neither jonathan or I could be there!  :(
[19:30] <mhall119> yeah, it's really a shame
[19:48] <vmlintu> dinda: we've been working quite a bit on the user management and authentication side of what is listed in the "School Server in a Box" blueprint
[19:50] <dinda> vmlintu: wonderful
[19:50] <vmlintu> The goal was to have it all public by now, but production setup took longer than expected. The user management side is available here, though: http://github.com/opinsys/puavo-users
[19:51] <dinda> vmlintu: I was trying to find more info on what OLPC has in their School server stack
[19:51] <vmlintu> We are also LDAP+kerberos setup tools here: http://github.com/opinsys/puavo-tools
[19:51] <vmlintu> Device management will be there too really soon
[19:52] <dinda> "LDAP, samba and kerberos"  awesome, all three and some of the most asked for
[19:52] <vmlintu> dinda: what kind of setup does OLPC have?
[19:53] <dinda> vmlintu: I didn't really find any specs at all, they list it on their wiki but that's about it
[19:55] <vmlintu> dinda: Puavo is now in production use and it seems to work nicely in our environments. We have ltsp thin clients and fat clients + laptops + windows machines using the same setup. It's all kerberized too..
[20:01] <vmlintu> We'll be next adding web authentication to the stack next, so after that it should be able to support most of the items listed in the blueprint
[20:02] <vmlintu> dinda: are you aiming the blueprint to be more of a school management system or a user management system?
[20:04] <dinda> vmlintu: both at the moment but more of an emphasis on schools. . .it would be ideal to have a $300- $400 device that could ship as a plug-n-play solution for small schools
[20:04] <dinda> vmlintu: and those with little or no bandwidth
[20:05] <vmlintu> dinda: the box would be a separate box with no other functions in it?
[20:06] <dinda> vmlintu: at this stage, I see it as a stand alone box
[20:06] <dinda> vmlintu: but that's what the blueprint is for to discuss all the possibilities
[20:15] <vmlintu> dinda: the concept is certainly something I've never thought myself - we are ourselves relying on always-on good connections everywhere
[20:16] <dinda> vmlintu: :) yes but the reality is that the majority of the world is still very bandwidth poor and schools even moreso
[20:16] <dinda> vmlintu: you should have heard the flak we got for removing the modem dial-up software in recent releases
[20:18] <vmlintu> dinda: scary.. I cannot remember last time I saw a modem..
[20:20] <vmlintu> dinda: Puavo should run fine in a stand-alone box too, just have never tried it like that.
[20:21] <vmlintu> I really need to find time to cleanup the code and get the website up for it..
[20:49] <highvoltage> hey dinda, long time no talk!
[20:50] <highvoltage> dinda: my US visa got approved today, and I should get it tomorrow, I'm still undecided whether it's worth while going over for 2 days
[20:50] <highvoltage> dinda: but the LTSP BTS also starts on Friday and mgariepy would drive for 8 hours alone if I didn't leave on Thursday so I decidede to just do that
[21:09] <vmlintu> highvoltage: big plans for BTS?
[21:37] <dinda> highvoltage: congrats!  I'm still uncertain - getting very tempted to hop on a plane wednesday night for last 2 days as well
[22:02] <highvoltage> vmlintu: nothing earth-shaking :)
[22:07] <dinda> highvoltage: who else from Revolution Linux is there?
