[08:28] <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
[08:32] <marcus> or is there no task available called edubuntu-desktop?
[17:17] <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?
[17:19] <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"
[17:22] <cryingfreeman> I've tried adding "forcepae -- forcepae" to the boot options, to no avail
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <cryingfreeman> highvoltage: sounds like a really smooth solution.. ;) Thanks a lot canonical :P
[17:28] <cryingfreeman> highvoltage: thanks a lot for the help though :)
[20:01] <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
