| jocarter | stgraber: where do I get python3-lxc these days? I notice it's not on your experimental ppa anymore | 13:16 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | jocarter: ?? it's still in my experimental PPA | 13:19 |
| stgraber | (built by lxc) | 13:19 |
| jocarter | stgraber: hmm, indeed, apparently I'm drunk :) | 13:20 |
| stgraber | though if you're using quantal you'd need to pin that version as I haven't yet rebased on the new version from the archive | 13:20 |
| TheProf | Good afternoon. I hope everyone is doing well today. My question is in regards to how to retain /home when doing a format and clean install of Edubuntu 12.04? Is it enough to tar.gz, move to external drive, install, and then untar into /home? | 20:11 |
| jocarter | for the data, yes. if your users are created on the local machine it wouldn't hurt to copy along /etc/passwd too | 20:16 |
| jocarter | (and their passwords are in /etc/shadow if you'd like to preserve that, if they're local users) | 20:16 |
| jocarter | TheProf: it's also possible to choose to preserver the /home directory during installation. so you could make that tarball backup for the worst-case scenario that something goes wrong | 20:17 |
| TheProf | jocarter, that's an interesting option. | 20:17 |
| TheProf | For the user information I usually use webmin to export the users (UID, GID, etc) and then I import it again after installation and it seems to work each time. | 20:18 |
| TheProf | Now if I wanted to make the question more confusing for part II : ) - I currently have a 1 TB drive on the ltsp server set to /home. I bought a new 1 TB drive to install to make it a Mirror Raid (RAID 1). | 20:18 |
| TheProf | So I don't think I can add the second drive AND retain /home correct? | 20:19 |
| jocarter | you can convert an existing disk to a raid 1 setup... but doing raid over USB sounds a bit dodgy to me | 20:19 |
| jocarter | (/home on use is already something I'd avoid for performance reasons already) | 20:20 |
| TheProf | jocarter, I'm sorry I wasn't being clear. The 2nd drive is an internal one. | 20:29 |
| TheProf | the external drive was for backing up /home. | 20:30 |
| TheProf | I think the ideal situation would be to add the second drive internally, convert the setup to RAID 1, then clean install and ask it to leave /home as is. I'm a bit nervous with adding the second drive and converting to RAID 1. | 20:57 |
| TheProf | I found these instructions online -- does anyone see any issues with them please? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1703904 | 20:57 |
| jott_ | I'm having problems with my new install of edubuntu | 23:55 |
