[02:37] <kings__> What are edubuntu's greatest needs? In terms of development.
[15:35] <carsten> hi everyone. I'd installed latest edubuntu 12.04 as ltsp server on a server at our primary school. before we had edubuntu 10.10 running with ltsp, which worked fine. Now some of the older thin clients with pentium 2 CPUs hung up, after loading the initrd.img and the capslock and shiftlock LED are blinking. what can I do? this happens with the old config which I used on 10.10 and the problem exists with edubuntu standard config for
[15:49] <alkisg> carsten: your message was too big and it was cut in the middle at " with edubuntu standard config for"
[15:50] <alkisg> If you have very old CPUs that don't support the "cmov" instruction, you need 10.04, which supports it
[15:50] <alkisg> Also, if you're serving the -pae kernel, try the non-pae version
[15:56] <carsten> hi alkisg, my post ended with "with edubuntu standard config for ltsp. " :)
[15:57] <carsten> so I need to check if the Pentium 2 support the cmov instruction. how can I deal with the "non-pae" version?
[15:58] <alkisg> carsten: one quick way to test is to try to boot it with the edubuntu dvd
[15:59] <alkisg> If it at least goes up to the point where the ubuntu screen is shown, it's ok
[15:59] <alkisg> To see if you have the non-pae kernel or not, run: ls /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386
[16:00] <carsten> I only see generic
[16:00] <carsten> vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic
[16:01] <alkisg> OK so yeah you might want to try booting it with a 10.04 chroot
[16:01] <cog> How do I get this junk off my screen?  I tried to load egoboo in 12.04 & it slowed down tremendously, then I got a terminal up and killed the unresponsive game and now about 25% of my screen looks terrible.
[16:01] <alkisg> Or with a live cd
[16:02] <alkisg> cog: for generic ubuntu questions, try #ubuntu
[16:03] <carsten> alkisg: ok, so a solution would be, staying with edubuntu 12.04, install 10.04 in a virtual machine with ltsp server, generate i386 client image, copy it to the real server and run it?
[16:03] <alkisg> ...yeah, but you might need some nbd-server manual configuration
[16:04] <alkisg> Because in 10.04 it's using port 2000, and on 12.04 10809
[16:04] <alkisg> Do you still have your old chroot?
[16:04] <carsten> alkisg: no :/
[16:04] <alkisg> I think you can build one from 12.04 without a VM
[16:05] <carsten> alkisg: would be nice and faster ...
[16:05] <alkisg> Not sure about the syntax, maybe ltsp-build-client --dist=lucid
[16:05] <alkisg> carsten: for ltsp questions, #ltsp is better, we have factoids there, more people using ltsp etc
[16:06] <carsten> alkisg: thx :)
