[03:22] <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?
[03:31] <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.
[03:37] <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.
[04:12] <tomreyn> neildugan: hehe, looks like i'm far off reality.
[08:44] <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?
[11:02] <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:
[11:03] <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?

[15:53] <technoob> Hi
[16:51] <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
