| neildugan | I have a small set of five computers using a NFS file server.. I would like setup to allow anyone to use any of the computers so that when they login and get there own home directory etc.. to do this I thought I would setup a LDAP server, and remote mount a /home directory from the file server... is this basic approach feasible? | 03:22 |

| tomreyn | neildugan: generally, yes, but you may run into other limiting factors, such as human preferences ("i want my own computer / keyboard / custom boot screen"), full disk encryption (limited amount of decryption keys), organisational standard compliance ("computer hardware must be attributable to a single user" for security reasons, or to facilitate user support). With an organization this small you may be more flexible, but considering | 03:31 |
| tomreyn | these implications (and how they can become relevant should the organization grow later) can be worth it. | 03:31 |
| neildugan | tomreyn, thanks for the info.. non of those are a concern atm.. the boss is more concerned with allowing people to play musical chars with computers. | 03:37 |
| tomreyn | neildugan: hehe, looks like i'm far off reality. | 04:12 |
| uzee | Hi, In the preseed config "d-i mirror/http/hostname string archive.ubuntu.com" is it possible to point to a local host with http? | 08:44 |
| uzee | I've copied the entire contents of the ubuntu 18 server iso to a local machine and am trying to use that machine as the installation source in preseed, for e.g: | 11:02 |
| uzee | d-i mirror/http/hostname string http://admin.mydomain | 11:03 |
| uzee | d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu/ubuntu18 | 11:03 |
| uzee | but the installer gives me an error saying "no kernel modules found" is having the iso copied locally not enough? | 11:03 |

| technoob | Hi | 15:53 |
| foo | Having a strange issue with /dev/urandom, I believe: https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/327#issuecomment-491471402 - process hangs for 30 seconds to 1 minute. It's causing process to overlap. I'm beginning to run out of ideas and getting desperate, wondering if anyone here has noticed this on a digital ocean droplet before - thank you | 16:51 |
