Mililani High School
====================
Friday Dusty, Rick Chavez and I went into Mililani again while Ray
Strode worked at home via SSH. Ray also prepared St. John's K12LTSP
server for Saturday's installation. Dusty installed much GNU software
while I banged my head on Sun Ray Server Software 1.3 for about 12 hours
total (since Thursday afternoon). Configuration of Sun Ray Server
Software 1.3 required Java 1.1 which wasn't installed in Solaris 9. I
tried various versions of Java 1.1 JRE with no results.
The utadm and utconfig setup scripts are ugly shell scripts that call
Java in various places to do various tasks. This is one example of
where "eating your own dogfood" was definitely not a good idea for Sun.
Anyway, around 4pm I finally figured out that Java 1.1 JDK was needed
instead of the JRE. With that installed all Sun Ray thin clients came
up within minutes.
Dusty had to leave soon after, but me and Rick proceeded to configure
the desktop software. Installed StarOffice 6 update 2 and Rick created
a script that automatically copies a StarOffice profile to all users as
they login so they don't need to use the needlessly complicated
"Workstation Install".
More desktop software tweaks and disk mirroring needs to be done, but
the lab should be usable enough for students for now.
St. John the Baptist School
===========================
Saturday Ray Strode, Wilson Chan, Aaron (sorry forgot last name) and I
went to St. John to complete their LTSP lab. Ray Strode brought the
server that he had installed the day before. Getting the clients up was
fairly quick, most of the time was used between me and Ray in
configuring the default desktop profiles for Mozilla and StarOffice. We
still need to figure out how to make default profiles for Gnome Panel.
When we left Wilson Chan was having difficulty configuring the network
print server. I'm not sure what the status of this is now.
I personally am going into Mililani again Monday morning in order to do
some final cleanups on their setup. Mid-Pac's LTSP lab still needs some
fixup work too.
