getting debian derivate into a debian-edu network

[Frank Weißer]

Hi,

I've been looking for a brief description on how to get a workstation 
with a debian derivate (here mx-/av-linux) to act like a normal 
debianedu workstation with home directories, user login to ldap, etc.


As I didn't find anything, started with installing tasksel and
education-tasks. Then started tasksel and chose 'Debian Edu networked 
workstation packages'.

for ldap server I chose 'ldap://10.0.2.2/'
defaultsearchbase "dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
real for Kerberos 'goKrbRealm'
kerberos server for realm '10.0.2.2'
administration server for realm '10.0.2.2'

Am I right so far?

next should be name resolving services, but which to choose?

Any hints on this an on the upcoming next parameters?

Would be nice, if defaults matching for tjener were offered.

Kind regards

Hi,

wanted to install a (roaming) workstation today. But: there is no 
installation feature in the pxe over IPv4 menu :-(

just

Diskless Workstation (server's SquashFS image)

Memory test
Enter iPXE configuration
Drop to iPXE Shell
Boot from the first local disk
Exit iPXE and continue BIOS boot

Did I miss something during/after installation of tjener because:

Re: What to do with d-i on armel?

[Frank Weißer]

Also late:
I'm using it on a I/O-Mega IX2-200, using d-i as described here> 
https://github.com/artizirk/ix2-200


To be honest: The upgrade to bookworm was made via apt.

Any armel users out there? :-)


Fairly late, but just to avoid the impression there aren't any left:
Yes, here.

But that's not an objection against plans in Debian kernel and/or d-i,
I'm using my own kernel, and should I ever have the need of a new
installation, I know how to debootstrap and the rest.

Besides, the hardware is a Seagate DockStar, so

Architecture:   armv5tel
   Byte Order:   Little Endian
CPU(s): 1
   On-line CPU(s) list:  0
Vendor ID:  Marvell
   Model name:   Feroceon-88FR131

and 128 Mbytes of RAM. Running Debian stable already requires some hacks
to not end up in thrashing, I might do a presentation "Running Debian on
small systems" some day about it.

In summary, I'm glad Debian keeps supporting this device - but I'm
aware the good times are in the past and it will very likely become
e-waste before the hardware dies. If not Debian ends the support, the
Linux kernel will.

Re: Debian Edu 12 - Call for Testing

[Frank Weißer]

Hi Mike,

despite your suggestions, I tested on physical hardware:

Installation from > 
http://get.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-bd/debian-edu-12.5.0-amd64-BD-1.iso


failed with multiple checksum errors; see (part of) install_log below

Installation from > 
http://get.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-edu-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso


seemed to work fine at first, despite eth0 and eth1 got swapped during 
reboot. Is it the correct way to swap it back in /etc/network/interfaces?


After doing that and working on GOsa, I happened to run apt update and 
got lots of messages, claiming:


Splitting up  /var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_*_InRelease 
into data and signature failed


- see apt_update_log below

Guess, that could be fixed by renewing
 /var/cache/bind/managed-keys.bind* ?

Managed finally to install without connection to my network from
 > 
http://get.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/amd64/iso-bd/debian-edu-12.5.0-amd64-BD-1.iso


, fixing the swap of eth0 and eth1 and reloading
/var/cache/bind/managed-keys.bind*
, so apt update works w/o errors

I have a mostly running system!

Only problem: Can't import my users via .csv
Any hints on this?

Thanks for all the work of the Debian-Edu team!

Kind regards

First of all: I use german during installation; but I doubt that is 
relevant.

That is really strange. If I did install Debian 12, it offered me a
list of different file systems, including ext2/3/4.

It does on non-crypt partitions, but not if I choose 'physical volume 
for encryption' there; then afterwards I only have the choices to use it 
as ext2, swap or lvm or leave it unused for the encrypted partition.



Despite that the partition in fact is getting formatted ext4, so the
entry ext2 in /etc/fstab leads into emergency mode.


Does the installer format it as ext4, but shows ext2 and places that in
fstab?
Or do you format it manually?


The installer does format it as ext4, but shows ext2 and places that in
fstab, what ends up in emergency mode. That's why I'm here

That is LUKS.


the partition tool in debian installer offers me randomized keys
for that and has 'delete partition' set to 'yes', which costs lot
of time, not necessary on new hdd/ssd and - my opinion - on
randomized keys. I propose switching to 'no', when selecting
randomized keys.


Why? A user can rather easy select what he wants.


As I said: My opinion; if you miss setting 'no' you have to wait a lot
of time...


Further I can select ext2 or swap for partition format.


That is really strange. swap is only for the special-purpose swap 
partition.



Yes, I choose it for the swap partition


I use ext2 for /var/tmp, but - in /etc/crypttab the marker 'tmp' is
missing for the /var/tmp partition


Which marker?


This one:
frank@pc:~$ cat /etc/crypttab
sda4_crypt /dev/sda4 /dev/urandom cipher=aes-xts-
plain64,size=256,swap,discard
sda5_crypt /dev/sda5 /dev/urandom cipher=aes-xts-
plain64,size=256,tmp,discard
 ^^^

crypttab is only for decrypting the partition and creating a device 
file for the encrypted one.



- in /etc/fstab ext2 is set instead of ext4, that cryptsetup
defaults to. So on reboot I end up in emergency mode.


If you format it in ext2, choose that. Or was that an automatic
decision by the installer?

I only choose ext2 for formatting the encrypted partition, because 
nothing else is offered. Despite that the partition in fact is getting 
formatted ext4, so the entry ext2 in /etc/fstab leads into emergency mode.


I think the partitioning tool in installer should offer to format the 
encrypted partition in ext4, as LUKS (?) does, instead of ext2 and must 
write ext4 to /etc/fstab, as this is, how it ends up.

Understandably. Due to a huge PHP 8.x transition backlog in GOsa²

I hope that we (mainly Guido and myself) have everything ready before

no login on diskless-workstations

[Frank Weißer]

Hi,

I can't login on diskless-workstations neither on .intern nor on ltsp.

What I've done:
Installed DebianEdu 11 main server, workstation and ltsp server from 
debian-edu-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso

on a RAID5 array with 5 hdd and seperate /boot partition
Saved /etc/network/interfaces during installation, since it gets 
replaced with a not working eth1 ip v6 address instead of 192.168.0.254/24.

Restored /etc/network/interfaces before rebooting.
Waited after reboot, 'til RAID5 / x2go stuff stop being busy.
Ran /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/subnet-change -n 192.168.250.0/24 
to change my subnet to the one, offered by our school board.

Rebooted immediate
Stopped service named and restarted after deleting /var/cache/bind/key* 
to get access the web


What works:
Log in on tjener as the user, set up during installation.

What does not work:
Log in as that user graphical on diskless workstations 192.168.250.130 
(hostname ltsp130) nor 192.168.0.22 (ltsp22)

Changing to console 1 I can log in, getting
'No directory, logging in with HOME=/'

/skole is mounted on both

Why is /skole/tjener/home0 not?

And why are there start jobs running on the diskless workstations , 
dealing with sda4 & sdb2-sde2 (the ones used in tjener as swap 
partitions) and tjener_vg-* ?


I doubt, it happens because of subnet-change, since I have the same 
problem on two running installations with default 10.0.0.0/8 net, where 
I don't use the installed ltsp server.


Any hints, where to look?

changing netmask of debianedu network

[Frank Weißer]

Hi Folks,

the city of oldenburg 'reinvented' all our network installation with 
several vlans, whereat my router (a fritzbox) gets an external 
192.168.n.n IP address and works as gateway.intern 10.0.0.1 for my 
10.0.0.0/8 net.
As I have to reach IPs 10.16.n.n in another vlan I need to reduce my 
netmask from 255.0.0.0 to 255.255.192.0

What is the proposed way for debian edu to do this?

I found matching entries in /etc/network/interfaces (which I may have 
edited), doing ldapvi and the same ones in /etc/ldap/gosa-server.ldif 
and /etc/ldap/ipnetworks.ldif
I guess the database I see with ldapvi is generated from entries in 
/etc/ldap/ ?


But I remember former discussions on changing the address range of 
skolelinux being not that simple.


However I didn't find helpfull information in the list archiv nor on my 
tjener https://www/


Is there someone, who can point me out the right instruction?

Guess I first give it another try with a more current netinstall image: 
I just found I used debian-edu-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso from last november.


I'll report later.

I tried that with 10.0.0.1, 185.150.99.255 and, to go safe, 8.8.8.8
No effect. My ISP (ewetel) doesn't tell anything about DNS's.


How did you test this?  Did you remember to reload bind after each
change?


Shure, I even rebootet tjener to be save

On tjener I edited etc/bind/named.conf.options
root@tjener:~# vi /etc/bind/named.conf.options
forwarders {
8.8.8.8;
};

restarted tjener
and did

root@tjener:~# ping -c1 debian.org
ping: debian.org: Der Name oder der Dienst ist nicht bekannt


Is for example 'host vg.no 8.8.8.8' working on the main server?


with a unchanged/changed etc/bind/named.conf.options: same result




So my approach would be to get the named three DNS's in
/etc/resolv.conf, but I have no idea where to force that.


This approach would not work, as the requried DNS entries provied by the
main server would not be resolvable on the external DNS servers.



O.k.

So I have no further idea, except the
DNS-Rebind-Protektion of the FRITZ!Box. It allows to enter exceptions, 
but entering tjener.intern and webcache.intern there doesn't change 
anything.

Hi Petter,

I tried that with 10.0.0.1, 185.150.99.255 and, to go safe, 8.8.8.8
No effect. My ISP (ewetel) doesn't tell anything about DNS's.

And, with dhcp disabled on the router, WLAN- and LAN-clients as well as 
DI of the network-installer work fine with 10.0.0.0/8 IP address, 
default gateway 10.0.0.1 and DNS entries 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.1 and 
185.150.99.255


Only after installation tjener has replaced the three DNS's by one: 
127.0.0.1 and get's no contact outside the LAN. If I replace the entrie 
127.0.0.1 in /etc/network by 10.0.0.1 I get outside, but gosa isn't 
useable from the LAN.


So my approach would be to get the named three DNS's in 
/etc/resolv.conf, but I have no idea where to force that.

[Frank Weißer]

the dhcp server on gateway (FRITZ!Box 7490) was definitely stopped
before installation and stayed so. I installed from the netinstall image
by entering network configuration manually when the automatic
configuration failed due to missing dhcp server. That's the problem; why
are urls resolved during installation but not after it?


Perhaps your ISP block direct DNS lookups, so you need to tell the main
server DNS to forward its lookups via your ISPs server, ref

   If generic DNS traffic is blocked out of your network and you need to
   use some specific DNS server to look up internet hosts, you need to
   tell the DNS server to use this server as its "forwarder". Update
   /etc/bind/named.conf.options and specify the IP address of the DNS
   server to use.

in https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/GettingStarted >.
Perhaps you can extend the text to make it easier to discover for the
next reader?

during installation /etc/resolv.conf looks like
root@tjener:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search fritz.box
nameserver 10.0.0.1
nameserver 185.150.99.255

and after installation
root@tjener:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by

# 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
# run "resolvectl status" to see details about the actual nameservers.

nameserver 127.0.0.1
search intern

I suspect it ought to look like this:
search intern #the local domain
nameserver 127.0.0.1 #or maybe 10.0.2.2 ?
nameserver 10.0.0.1
nameserver 185.150.99.255

or do I misunderstand this?

Did you read the installation instructions in the manual on how to set
up the gateway?

It sound a bit like you have two competing DHCP servers, and neither is
giving you the setup you want.

Bug in installer? Where to report?

[Frank Weißer]

Hi folks,

I just installed debianedu/skolelinus 11 mainserver and, as I encrypt 
swap partitions as well as the one with /var/tmp, I face a minor problem:


d-i offers ext2, swap, lvm and none as fileystems for encrypted 
partitions and writes "ext2" in the new fstab for my new /var/tmp.
BUT:the manpage for crypttab tells that cryptsetups formats it with ext4 
>   tmp=

   Führt mkfs mit dem Dateisystem  auf dem erstellten Gerät
   aus. Vorgabe ist ext4.


and so the new system can't mount /var/tmp until I correct the fstab entry.

Where do I file a bug report to?

Now I'd like to get the profile mimimal of DebianEdu installed. I don't find
any instruction, how to do that subsequently. Is there any way except
installing DebianEdu minimal on a i386 based system and copying, what's
installed there?


Take a look at this script:

Re: iomega ix2-200 as slbackup server

[Frank Weißer]

Hi,

I managed to install a plain Debian 11 on the ix2-200 by 
following/combining these instructions [1] [2]


I'll document this soon on [3]

Now I'd like to get the profile mimimal of DebianEdu installed. I don't 
find any instruction, how to do that subsequently. Is there any way 
except installing DebianEdu minimal on a i386 based system and copying, 
what's installed there?

Hi folks,

I'd like to use an iomega storcenter ix2-200 as slbackup server. There 
is a locked debian 5.0 on it, But I hopefully get buster or bullseye 
installed following these [1] instructions.


I didn't find any description, howto move slbackup from tjener to 
another server (thow I happened to to manage this years ago; must have 
been potato or so)


- do I need (and how do I get) a minimal debian-edu installation on the 
ix2? tasksel?  But which task(s)?


- will the required path on ix2 to use be /skole/backup or ix2/backup?

- how do I have to configure slbackup to do the trick?

Kind regards

(solved) Re: fibre problem with Intel 82571EB

[Frank Weißer]

Thanks to Wolfgang from > debian-...@lists.debian.org

the following did the trick:


IMO this is not a network card issue.
I guess renaming the interface names would help.

Only do the following if the system isn't used by anyone else...

(0) Put down the MAC addresses of eth3 and eth4 (eth4 should be eth0 and
 eth3 should be eth1 later)
(1) Remove 'net.ifnames=0' from the kernel command line in /etc/default/grub
(2) Run 'update-grub'
(3) Reboot. 'ip a' will show you the persistent network interface names
(probably something like enpXsY, where Y is the slot name) and MACs
(4) Add MAC matching lines at the begin of /etc/network/interfaces, e.g.:
rename enp0s3=eth0
rename enp0s8=eth1
(5) Reboot and check if everything works, otherwise fix the renaming lines

I can reach tjener via fibre cable and switch and use it with scp, smb 
and so on.

But dhcp, bxe-boot and ltsp-clients don't work.

dhcp requests via
#dhclient eth4
need about 70 seconds to give me an ip. Network manager already gives up 
in that time. Even connecting direct (with a media converter, not using 
other fiber cables or switches) doesn't work.

So cable/switch don't seam to hurt.

How can I tell 82571EB to do its work?

If I switch eth4's address to eth0 (copper) everything works fine. So 
services seem to be running

the HP Device Manager , because the LaserJet Pro 200 color, connected 
via network, is lost. The setup routine dousn't need to connect to hp 
again, as id did at the first installation of the printer.


Where do I have to take a look?

Maybe the netgroup cache has been corrupted for whatever reason?

As you are using Stretch, the 'debian-edu-nscd-netgroup-cache' tool
should still be available. Run 'debian-edu-nscd-netgroup-cache disable'
on the main server and see it that helps.

(Running 'debian-edu-nscd-netgroup-cache enable' would re-enable netgroup

Try running debian-edu-test-install as root and see if it detect any

is it possible to manually mount /skole/tjener/home0 from a client?

   # mount tjener:/home0 /mnt

If that fails, you need to check /etc/exports on TJENER.

Anything in the logs (syslog, auth.log)?

The rpc.mountd (NFS server) process knows some debug options, same does

Hi As I am aware this is off topic, (unless we can install
Debian)are there any recommended mailing lists / forums for
installing Linux on Android tablets please?  Asking here as I may
get a useful answer to signpost me to somewhere useful.

We have an old Storage Options scroll Excel II tablet which we
would like to see if we can install Linux on to.

I will ask on the specific mailing list,  however this device does
have a chipset boxchip a10 (ARM) processor so it may be possible
to install debian on.


thanks for any help

What happened to the Signing Key ? Is (7.0/wheezy) the actual version or 
the first released one? why am I at Debian 9.7, as Debian skipped it and 
went to 9.8, to fix apt problems?


The same happens for

Any hints?

Re: [SPAM] netboot.tar.gz for DebianEdu/Skolelinux?

[Frank Weißer]

Hi,


Petter Reinholdtsen:


Can you tell us some more on how you use Debian Edu?
shure. I've got a ms-network for shool administration here - don't care 

about, some IServ > https://iserv.eu/

 solution for educational part, which I'm co-admin and a 
DebianEdu/Skolelinux one where I administrate our copiers and do the 
shoolbook sharing for our students.


On the IServ solution clients so far happened to be Windows machines. 
But, since XP's no longer supported, I now have a computer room with 17 
Debian machines, rolled out via IServs opsi solution. As I preceeeded 
some education tasks, I thought about using DebianEdu standalone 
installation instead.
As I got a hint about ltsp under IServ in the IServ forum  > 
https://support.iserv.eu/iserv/forum/125/topic/14825#new-entry-0


I think about using this on the teachers station in the near future.

netboot.tar.gz for DebianEdu/Skolelinux?

[Frank Weißer]

Hi!

For Debian there is something like

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz


available.

Is there something similar for DebianEdu/Skolelinux?
As I try to build a  DebianEdu/Skolelinux package for our IServ opsi 
server, I need initrd and linux from such tarball.

Well... /etc isn't missing, at least.

When I run "strace /sbin/ldconfig" on my system, I see this line:

rename("/etc/ld.so.cache~", "/etc/ld.so.cache") = 0

So, it seems that your ldconfig is generating the /etc/ld.so.cache~ file,
or at least a partial one (12288 is a suspiciously ROUND number, being
precisely 3 times 4 kilobytes).  And then ... something bad happens 
before

it can rename it to /etc/ld.so.cache.  Or finish writing it.

Are you out of disk space?  Granted, I would have expected a DIFFERENT
error message in that case, but it's a thing to check.

You might consider simply copying the /usr/bin/strace file from a
different Debian system onto this one, just so you can run it.

OK.  I happen to have Debian Stretch in a virtual machine for testing 
purposes.


strace is in /usr/bin on there.  I copied it to the host and ran it.

comp@AbNormal:~$ sudo ./strace
[sudo] password for comp:
./strace: must have PROG [ARGS] or -p PID

I'm totally at sea here, which switch should iI use?

Re: Low-Cost Tablet PC suitable for Debian

[Frank Weißer]

Stefan Monnier:

it's android without the "I'd like to call home' parts, if you choose the
bare install.


AFAIK the bare install will still call home: every time you connect to
a wifi network it performs an HTTP request to a Google server in order to
detect whether the local connection gives you access to the internet or
not (and if not, it presumes it's a captive portal and offers you to
launch a browser to sign in).

I didn't install google 'services', so there is only some device 
statistics communication with lineageos.org, which can be disabled in 
the privacy menu.


Anyway I doubt, any lineageos powered device would have "2-4 USB ports"
or  "Serial RS232/485 port".

LineageOS is nice, I strongly recommend it, BUT it is Android (just
a nicer distribution of Android), so it doesn't fit the requirements,

it's android without the "I'd like to call home' parts, if you choose

They have this stupd MTK CPUs on which I can not install Debian.

Does anyone know a TabletPC with 10-12" Size, Wifi, GSM/3G and
on which I can install Debian from DVD or external TF Card?

Note:  Of course I could use Android and then my self programmed
Web-Apps, but then the Wifi is the limiting factor and my
measuring devices are not working as expected with Android,
because I can not transfer the data from the Android-Apps
into my Web-Apps...  :-/
Another thing is, that ALL Android VERSIONS are calling

Also my prefered Programs do not exist in suitable

Run 'debian-edu-pxeinstall' to regenerate

And next

Did you uninstall wpad-mini before trying to install wpad?
Uninstalling wpad-mini should free up ~200kB. Maybe it's enough for wpad
to fit.

I tried that, but as on TP-Link TL-WA701ND v1 i saw a _reduced_ amount

reduced free space from 40 to 32kb.


I also saw this effect on TL-MR3420 V2.3 and szill wasn't able to

So my idea was: take the .config used to build [1], edit it, disabling 
most ppp- and usb-entries and copying it to ImageBuilder-directory. Then 
make image PROFILE=??? PACKAGE="wpad -wpad-mini -ppp -ppp-pppoe".

But where to get the .config ?

[OpenWrt-Users] Image too large for further packet

[Frank Weißer]

Hi,

i'm using openwrt a long time, but am new in building images.

Actually i have 3 TP-Link TL-MR3420 V2.3 flashed with [1]

As i need wpad installed i have the problem that this image doesn't 
leave enough space :-(


So i got the image generator [2]

and tried some profiles, but none was satisfying.

What i want is to build an image like the "official" [1], but without 
ppp*- and usb*-support, so i get the space, needed to install wpad.


Any hints for a solution?

Kind regards

Re: jessie/kde: o,ly root can read usb sticks

[Frank Weißer]

Hi!

Had the same problem with DebianEdu Jessie and found mountpount 
/media/usb0 defined in /etc/fstab. Deleting the line resulted in 
mounting usb-sticks in /media/[username] with appropriate rights.

Can someone suggest a remedy ?

whitch image actually to use for a jessie installation?

[Frank Weißer]

Hi!

I'd like to get a standalone-installation of jessie running on a laptop 
without having a usable tjener for now. Which cd-netinst-image should i 
take from the ftp-server?


I still have a

debian-edu-8.0+edu0~b1-CD.iso

from 2015/04/25. Or should it be

debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso

from 2015/09/06?

It's an Medion Akoya Laptop with UEFI and Windows 8.1 on it. Windows 
will die, but UEFI seems the challenge. Any hints on that?


Thanks in advance

 Hi,
 
 the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project is pleased to announce the first *beta* 
 release of Debian Edu Jessie 8.0+edu0~b1, which for the first time is 
 composed entirely of packages from the current Debian stable release, Debian 
 8 
 Jessie.
 
 (As most reading this will know, Debian Jessie hasn't actually been 
 released 
 by now. The release is still in progress but should finish later today ;)
 
 We expect to make a final release of Debian Edu Jessie in the coming weeks, 
 timed with the first point release of Debian Jessie. Upgrades from this beta 
 release of Debian Edu Jessie to the final release will be possible and 
 encouraged!
 
 Please report feedback to debian-edu@lists.debian.org and/or submit bugs: 
 http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/ReportBugs
 
 Debian Edu - sometimes also known as Skolelinux - is a complete operating 
 system for schools, universities and other organisations. Through its pre-
 prepared installation profiles administrators can install servers, 
 workstations and laptops which will work in harmony on the school network. 
 With Debian Edu, the teachers themselves or their technical support staff can 
 roll out a complete multi-user, multi-machine study environment within hours 
 or days.
 
 Debian Edu is already in use at several hundred schools all over the world, 
 particularly in Germany, Spain and Norway. Installations come with hundreds 
 of 
 applications pre-installed, plus the whole Debian archive of thousands of 
 compatible packages within easy reach.
 
 For those who want to give Debian Edu Jessie a try, download and installation 
 instructions are available, including detailed instructions in the manual 
 explaining the first steps, such as setting up a network or adding users. 
 Please note that the password for the user your prompted for during 
 installation must have a length of at least 5 characters!

 Do you have a default installation? Which desktop environment? Did you 
 modify gosa somehow?
 
 On a default combi server install (desktop=kde) imagemagick-common is 
 installed,
 imagemagick isn't.
 
 Your problem isn't reproducible for me, adding a user picture is working 
 with both PNG and JPG images - no error reported.
 
 (GOsa² needs imagemagick or php-imagick to be installed for this feature).

It's not this bug. I have two NICs with different chipsets. The one i 
chose for primary network is - reproducible on different machines - 
listed as eth1 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules afterwards. 
The other NIC is eth0 then.


I've been seeing this in wheezie and IIRC before too.

Today, on 8. Linux-Informationstag Oldenburg, we rsynced

We edited /usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install before choosing the profile and

This is the wrong approach.  Instead, edit
/etc/bind/named.conf.options and list the IP of your upstream DNS
resolver in the forwarders block.  This way you keep the internal DNS
names intact while also getting Internet connectivity.


stand-alone:
started installation with defaults, german and auto-partitioning
after chosing stand-alone-machine (after editing
/usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install) installation finished without any
question. Cloned the machine with clonezilla, changed hostname and
both run well with KDE.


Very good. :)

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

The propagation times for packages from unstable to testing in Debian
is now enforced to 10 days, making it harder to test the Debian Edu
status.  To work around this, I have set up a new APT source with the
latest version of our packages, and created a preseeding file to
enable it.


This repo is now used by default with our testing ISO, and there is no
need to enable it manually.  But I have still only built for amd64, so
i386 will lack some packages (currently only our task packages, I
believe).

But the great news is that the installer is no longer broken.  The bug
was not kernel version skew but in apt.  I reported the bug as #765046,
but others reported the bug too as it affected the daily build d-i
images in Debian. See #765458 for more details.

Anyway, this mean you can fetch the latest ISO, use for example rsync
from

   
ftp.skolelinux.no::cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso

and it should work out of the box.  Please test and let us know how it
work for you.

I've now seen the problem where eth0 suddenly become eth1, and reported
the bug as #765577.  I hope the udev maintainers can help us figure out
why udev write duplicate entries in
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-presisten-net.rules

The status as we know it for the next version of Debian Edu is still
shown on URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie .
Please update it and report bugs to bugs.debian.org for problems you
find. :)

I believe we now are ready to publish the first alpha release of Debian
Edu.  For that to happen we need to write a release announcement, copy
the ISO to a location where it isn't overwritten and send out the
announcement.  A draft text is started on
URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ReleaseNotes/Jessie .  See the
Wheezy alpha release texts for example on what this can look like.
Please help make it complete enough for us to send it. :)

 Hi.
 
 The status of the Jessie system is tracked on
 URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Jessie , and there are
 several fatal problems blocking testing.  But if you want to test
 anyway, here is a recipe on how to get the installation limping along.
 
 First, download the ISO
 URL: 
 ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/cd-edu-testing-nolocal-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso
  
 (or http, or rsync).  The ISO build is currently broken, so we do not
 get a new ISO every 12 hours or so, but thankfully the ISO we got is
 able to install.
 
 When you get to the profile question, go to tty2 (Alt-Ctrl-F2), run
 
   nano /usr/bin/edu-eatmydata-install
 
 and add 'exit 0' as the second line, disabling the eatmydata
 optimization.
 
 When you get the grub question at the end, answer /dev/sda (or if this
 do not work, figure out what your correct value would be.  All my
 tests need /dev/sda, so I have no advice if it do not fit your need.
 
 If you installed a profile including a graphical desktop, log in as
 root after the initial boot from hard drive, and install the
 education-desktop-XXX metapackage.  XXX can be kde, gnome, lxde, xfce
 or mate.  If you want several desktop options, install more than one
 metapackage.  Once this is done, reboot and you should have a working
 graphical login screen.
 
 I believe the ISO build will start working on two days when the new
 tasksel package enter testing and Steve McIntyre get a chance to
 update the debian-cd git repository.  The eatmydata, grub and desktop
 issues are already fixed in unstable and testing, and should show up
 on the ISO as soon as the ISO build start working again.
 
 I hope this get you going with the installation testing, as we are
 quickly running out of time trying to get our Jessie based
 installation ready before the distribution freeze in a month.

Re: Sun/Oracle Java

Hi Oliver!

Facing the same problem a while ago, i somewhere found a hint to add

deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all

to sources.list. Don't remember from where, but it works for me on
debian testing.

 Hi,
 
 Setting up a new machine, noticed that Sun/Oracle Java is no longer
 available to Debian.
 
 Saw a post here with an explanation:
 
 http://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2011/08/26/sun_java6_packages_removed_from_debian_u
 
 
 Unfortunately, there are limitations and issues with OpenJDK, and
 incompatibilities with various software.
 
 I'm not sure how it has worked in the past, but presumably someone
 manually built the installation package for Debian. Would it be possible
 to do this for oneself? I assume there is no source available to
 compile. Is it feasible to convert an rpm release for use with Debian?
 I've tried this sort of thing before, but with mixed results.
 
 Sorry if this has been covered already - I couldn't see mention of it in
 my email search.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Oliver

Looks fine.


I first tried from evince at 9:09, then reprinted from
cups-webinterface/iceweasel at 9:13 and later at 10:52 printed
succesfully another document as frank from libreoffice


Three successful printings, then.


No , the first is the one, who didn't get on paper.



Also, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, change loglevel to debug, print and
look at /var/log/cups/error_log. You might want to compress it and post
it here for others to examine.


Done, but printing the same .pdf from evince went fine this time and
no error.log in /var/log/cups/. I'll try again tomorrow and let you
know.


No error_log? I've only encountered that by deleting the log just before
printing something. LogLevel debug is intended to give copious output
for all print jobs.


Sorry my fault, looked at wrong place. Logfile starts at
[03/Sep/2013:16:16:17 +0200]

The previous log ends [28/Aug/2013:10:36:35 +0200], so the time when the 
problem happened isn't logged at all :-(


I tried to reproduce the problem this morning, but now printing .pdf 
from evince as frank worked.


So i think we can close this thread.

Thanks for your help

strange Cups behavior

[Frank Weißer]

Hi out there!

I'm running Debian Testing with latest updates and got strange Cups 
behavior:


As user frank, member of lp and lpadmin, i tried to print a .pdf to 
http://localhost:631/printers/UTAX_TA_CLP_3521_CLP_4521


and after a little while Cups says job completed, printer idle. But 
there's no paper-output at the printer :-(
I tried reprint job in Cups, authentivcated as root and - voila - got 
my paper.


Afterwords Cups says 2 pages printed, the printer guesses right and 
tells me 1 page printed, but where is the lost page?

Should i cut the cable to look for it?

Or any better suggestions?

Hi!

I had the same issue some years ago with a D-Link printserver.
D-Link-hotline told something like Our printserver is designed for
home-networks. So other masks then 24-bit are not needed.

For linksys -routers i guess there should be the possibility to flash
something like

how do i set i915 resolution in grub-pc

[Frank Weißer]

Hi!

I installed combined tjener+ltsp-server from 
ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/cd-squeeze-test-amd64-i386-netinst/debian-edu-amd64-i386-NETINST-1.iso

dated 2011/05/15 iirc on my ASRock AD510PV with Intel onboard-graphics

I tried various setups of /etc/default/grub but always have 1024x768
Resolution on both console and graphical login.

My lcd only supports 800x600 and so that's the resolution i'd like to have.

After 2 Days of googleing i have the following

tjener:~#cat /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
intel_agp
drm
i915 modeset=1
gfxterm

tjener:~#cat /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
options i915 modeset=1

tjener:~#cat /etc/default/grub
/snip
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=915resolution lvm raid
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=800x600x32
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=i915.modeset=1 driver=intel

#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=video=i915:800x600-32@60
snip/

shure i did
#update-initramfs -uk all
#update-grub

each time i changed the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
but though the driver seams to be loaded correctly

 Having dhcp-clients connected to eth0 i get leases 10.0.2.xxx, but with
 Bcast:10.255.255.255  Maske:255.0.0.0

 
 Unfortunately, the network definition in GOsa allows only the classical
 A-, B- and C-networks but not the 255.255.254.0 network mask which was
 used before.  (No idea why 255.255.254.0 was chosen in the beginning).
 
 So we can either choose 255.255.0.0 or 255.0.0.0 network masks for
 our setup now.  To keep the range of available network addresses as
 flexible as possible, I decided to use a Class-A network mask.  The
 configuration of the tjener interface wasn't modified to reflect that,
 as things are not yet settled.  
 
 Perhaps someone with deeper insights in the reasons why the network
 was set up the way it is can comment on the issue and help how to
 proceed with classical network masks best.
