| tommyfun | Hi all | 20:21 |
| alkisg | Hello | 20:22 |
| tommyfun | do you use unbuntu in a class romm? | 20:25 |
| tommyfun | or do you manage a classroom of ubuntu desktops? | 20:26 |
| alkisg | Yes, why do you ask? | 20:26 |
| tommyfun | I'm trying to find some best practices | 20:29 |
| tommyfun | the deployment, do you image a golden master or do you install via a kickstart/preseed | 20:30 |
| alkisg | I'm using LTSP, so all clients boot from the server, we don't use their hard disks | 20:30 |
| tommyfun | and managing packages, do you install them on all the clients or do you install them on one machine and mount it across the clients | 20:30 |
| alkisg | One image for all clients, no seperate installations | 20:31 |
| tommyfun | ok, so you're virtualized | 20:31 |
| alkisg | No | 20:31 |
| alkisg | I'm just using one single network disk for all clients | 20:31 |
| alkisg | One image for all | 20:31 |
| tommyfun | ok, I'll have to look inot the solution some more | 20:31 |
| alkisg | How many clients do you have? | 20:32 |
| tommyfun | only about 40 | 20:32 |
| alkisg | LTSP is fine for that, if you have gigabit network | 20:32 |
| tommyfun | hmmm, I don't think we do | 20:32 |
| tommyfun | I'll have to look into that | 20:33 |
| tommyfun | so your clients have no disks? you use pxe? | 20:33 |
| alkisg | Yes, we're using pxe, but they do have disks, they're old windows machines that we switched to ubuntu | 20:34 |
| tommyfun | oh ok, so you have actual thin client hardware? | 20:34 |
| alkisg | No | 20:35 |
| tommyfun | I loked at the desktop virtualization from vmware, but we don't have the infrastructure for that | 20:35 |
| alkisg | We have old and new desktop computers | 20:35 |
| alkisg | And we netboot them as ltsp clients | 20:35 |
| tommyfun | interesting, sorry, I read that line fast | 20:36 |
| tommyfun | I'm looking at the ltsp web page | 20:36 |
| tommyfun | do you also automount home directories? | 20:39 |
| alkisg | LTSP uses a central home directory, yes | 20:39 |
| tommyfun | do you use any type of authentication? | 20:40 |
| alkisg | LTSP uses ssh for authentication, please read about ltsp a bit | 20:41 |
| alkisg | It has its own display manager, LDM | 20:42 |
| alkisg | You enter a username/password and in the background it uses ssh to authenticate you | 20:42 |
| alkisg | So it all works out of the box | 20:42 |
| tommyfun | right, I meant do you use AD/ldap/nis | 20:42 |
| alkisg | There's no need | 20:45 |
| alkisg | LTSP handles the client authentication | 20:45 |
| alkisg | So no, I'm not using any of those | 20:46 |
| cog | I have brasero on Edubuntu not successfully finishing generating a checksum for my new Linux sabily. How do I correct the process of checksumming? | 21:36 |
| cog | It wants to generate a checksum for my new DVD but hasn't finished yet, I started yesterday over 10 hours ago. How do I correct the program, check my disc, & enjoy my new OS? | 21:37 |
