| marcus | hi all. I am trying to preseed an edubuntu installation and added 'tasksel tasksel/first multiselect edubuntu-desktop' to the preseed file but edubuntu does not get installed | 08:28 |
|---|---|---|
| marcus | or is there no task available called edubuntu-desktop? | 08:32 |
| cryingfreeman | Hi! I have a number of old thin client computers (HP t5000) that does not have PAE .. Can I somehow boot them in edubuntu 14.04? | 17:17 |
| cryingfreeman | "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: \n pae \n Unable to boot, please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU" | 17:19 |
| cryingfreeman | I've tried adding "forcepae -- forcepae" to the boot options, to no avail | 17:22 |
| highvoltage | marcus: there is such a task in ubuntu, not sure if it's called edubuntu-desktop though but you can install the edubuntu-desktop metapackage and that should do the treick | 17:24 |
| highvoltage | *trick | 17:24 |
| highvoltage | cryingfreeman: there's not a PAE kernel in Ubuntu 14.04 anymore... but I heared of people who used a kernel from debian squeeze on 14.04 for old machines | 17:25 |
| highvoltage | shazzr: https://www.debian-administration.org/article/648/Offline_Package_Management_for_APT might be of help | 17:25 |
| cryingfreeman | highvoltage: sounds like a really smooth solution.. ;) Thanks a lot canonical :P | 17:26 |
| cryingfreeman | highvoltage: thanks a lot for the help though :) | 17:28 |
| highvoltage | cryingfreeman: well, in their defense on this one... none-pae CPUs are at the edge and there are very few machines out there that don't support it | 20:01 |
| highvoltage | cryingfreeman: unfortunately... most of those machines are thin clients, not so nice for anyone who supports LTSP | 20:01 |
