Re: [ubuntu-uk] Locking down Firefox settings

Basically I'm nearly done setting up an LTSP Server and I want to make sure that no one who logs on can fiddle with the settings. I've got Tinyproxy and Dansguardian installed and working but only if I manually specify the proxy settings. I found something about entering some settings in /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.cfg which I have entered (details here: http://m.linuxjournal.com/article/9044) but I'm finding I can enable and disable the Firefox proxy settings and alter the rest of the settings as I please. I did try Firehol to force the proxy transparently but it stopped the LTSP clients from booting unless I enabled a whole lot of ports on the Firehol configuration (I got so far but got stuck on the nbd ports). Just wondering if anyone knows how to do this? Ta, Rob Hi Rob, I recall seeing a posting within the last 2/3 months on either the ltsp-discuss mailing list or the edubuntu-users list that give you instructions on how to lock firefox down. If I remember correctly you can do it by placing the values you want to lock in a text file, encoding it using Rot13 and specifying some global settings that force Firefox to read that file (It greys out all the options for the user, so the user can't change anything or add their own settings in their ~./mozilla/firefox/*) I've used this method successfully in school and at our boarding house, I just cant remember the specifics off the top of my head. If your still stuck next week drop me a line and I'll see if I can dig the mails out for you.

Outsourced support options may not always be able to provide this - particularly if you need onsite assistance in a remote area. I think that most schools would be wanting someone who could fix it very close by. Most things can be fixed remotely, of course there are some things that can't. In that instance would it not be feasible for the person (who we have already established normally can follow bullet pointed instruction on a que sheet) who is responsible for co-ordinating ict to follow instructions over the phone from someone who knows how to fix it. You don't have to understand why your typing things but the tech support on the other end of the phone does. For hardware failure it makes no odds what OS or system your running you'd still need someone able to physically install equipment or (less technical) know how to place an order for a replacement. This doesn't need to be an expert, just someone who is clever enough to follow instructions and hold a telephone. In my opinion the biggest challenge in adoption is the political reasoning not technical reasoning. There is always some company pushing there own agenda, selling licenses, more licenses, premium phone support for buggy software, more licenses, upgraded hardware after x years, etc and there will be teachers and management that just blindly accept the norm, the spin, advertising and hidden agendas without looking at the technical merits of something different. Just because its different does it make it technically inferior.. no. In the same breath, just because its proprietary and the norm does it make it inferior... no. But we as taxpayers and tax spenders have a responsibility to look at all the options available, and should not be forcing pupils to use any one particular vendor.

The main issue here seems to be one of people identifying with Ubuntu-UK yet feeling alienated from a UK branded, creative, event. In saying this I emphasise that this does not mean I believe that they either were, or were not, alienated. In my opinion we had a common consensus Ubuntu-UK should make a podcast. I have no problem with this, I did not follow its discussion anyway. I am also ok if a bunch of people who want to, and who can, actually get to do it and do not wait for greater authority, other comments, whatever. However, there might have been advantage in a pre publication 'press release' say, when more than half way through the process. If resources were available, a few QA and comments. This would have enabled some others to identify with the activity rather than later being taken unawares. Pre-pub press release or similar with the intention to inform is useful in a dispersed group to assist in cohesion. Such a press release does not invite creative feeback or review, just informs of actions and impending events. This can strengthen the self confidence of the wider team. Surprises are almost always of negative effect and if they can avoided all the better. If the surprise is intentional, (hopefully not), then the motives need review I suggest. I look forward to more podcasts. FWIW the only podcast I (previously) listened to is the linux action show. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Motives and politics aside the whole surprise thing and the posts by Chris Rowson (and subsequent discussion) have (and slightly counter intuitively some may say) actually been constructive and helped. My reasoning is this: What are we all talking about now Ubuntu-UK podcast!, that's what. That in itself has raised awareness of its existence and can only be a good thing in my opinion. Secondly Chris's posts, the discussion that has evolved and the issue of inclusion and open discussion of the project. This has, as I see it, had an affect that people who may not have expressed opinion are feeling compelled to write posts (I include myself in this being a rather quiet member of late), give praise, comments, suggestions etc etc... aka Get Involved. This too can only be a good thing in my opinion and would not have happened without the surprise triggering his posts. At this point though I would like to make an analogy. if you follow what is meant then great, if you don't then congratulations you've just seen an insight into my very odd mind. Alcohol.. drink just a little can be a good thing, carry on drinking and people do stupid things and/or pass-out (amongst other things). As I see it it's the same with complaining about things past! So I call to put complaining aside and concentrate on the walk back home to the nice warm bed. I believe no harm is done, the project has been realised AND people have been told about it an asked for comments, sugestions... to help. I would like to point out though in Chris's defence had that not happened (the project remaining closed for assistance) then I think he would have had a fully valid point. That however didn't happen so is a mute point in this instance. So now the project is running and open lets move to helping out now rather than spending our efforts debating the finer points of then. I plan on doing my bit by promoting the podcast within our school and possibly getting the kids to do reviews and suggestions.

Sadly using aptitude on the command line was also insisting on using a proxy until I rebooted! I can now upgrade things, but not through Synaptic. That's fine by me in terms of being able to use things, but wouldn't be so good for a normal end user, and does leave me wondering what else may be broken. Have you looked in the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ directory. There are a bunch of files in there, in one of them you may find a proxy setting. I recall setting up proxying for some of my servers here by adding a line in one of those files (although I now use apt-cache for that job). Doing the reverse should just be a case of removing the line containing the proxy and running 'apt-get update'.

We have 3 * HP Proliant DL140 G2 (Dual, dual core Zeons with 8Gb Ram) running 150~ clients. The interesting thing for performance is a really fast disk read, we use 2 * 18Gb SCSI ultra320 with RAID 1. How would you deal with users home directories? We have a dedicated server with NFS+NIS that allows the 3 LTSP Servers to mount home over NFS and authenticate from NIS. So as far as management or users go its a doddle, as you have all the users home directories etc in one place (for the paranoid, you could also load balance/failover these services too).

On Tue, 2008-01-29 at 15:41 +, Rob Beard wrote: ...snip Anyway, one of the guy's who is involved with the project mentioned about setting up some sort of clustering so that the burden of running multiple clients can be spread over two or more machines. I've found details on OpenSSI which appears to support LTSP on Fedora Core 3 although the details are a bit lacking. I was wondering if anyone had had a play around with OpenSSI on Ubuntu, and even better OpenSSI and LTSP on the same installation of Ubuntu? Rob Never tried it, but if you are running two machines then you can use dhcpd load balancing and fail-over (check the man pages for dhcpd). Or (and a way that works well for us with 150+ thin clients and 3 servers) dynamical assigned static ip's (ip's allocated dynamicaly based on the mac address of the requesting client). Regardless of which server responds the client always gets the same ip, so you won't end up with a mess of ip's allocated to two different machines and the client will use the responding server to boot from. A variation from the above is allocating a set block of ips from the subnet to each of the dhcpd servers. But potentially you could end up with a client having multiple ip's (better than an ip having multiple clients though!) and could lead to you running out of leases. With both the above the idea is that the server with the least load will reply quickest to a dhcpd request and thus the client will use that server to boot from, rather than a loaded one. I have also heard that the latest edubuntu/ltsp packages have load balancing support, so a trip to the edubuntu mailing lists could be good. They are a friendly bunch and most of the people responsible for the ltsp bits hang out there. If you end up trying it I would be interested to know how or if you get local devices/sound to work.

[ubuntu-uk] feeling christmasy... virtualy not any more!
Hi, After listening to episode 89 of the LugRadio podcasts* I decided that just for a laugh (with the end of term being today) it would be a really good time to lean about xen and virtualisation. Xen on gutsy just hasn't worked for me at all, after hitting nearly every reported (and un-resolved) bug there is with xen and gutsy on launchpad I conceded defeat (using gutsy at least). I've reached the stage where I've just had enough of trawling through bug reports and applying workarounds, but I digress. I've now turned to centOS 5 after a recommendation from a friend, and the installation of the domO went really well and I'm very very impressed. My problem is that I want to install ubuntu virtual machines. Using virt-install to install a domU I can only manage to get centOS guests. Does anyone know of any way to install an ubuntu domU easily, either with or without the use of virt-install, and without the use of the xen-tools package (this is not included with centOS AFAIK).

Ok, so we're a school wanting to open OO.o documents inside a firefox/mozilla window. We have written a webbased app for marking and review of work. The students upload their work and use a traffic light system to show how hard or easy they found the work. The teacher logs on to mark the work and is given a page that is basically a frameset, left frame is for the teacher to place their marking and comments for the student, and the right frame is for displaying the students work, be it odp,odt,odf or whatever. OO.o comes with a really neat plugin for firefox that is included by default on windows but not Ubuntu. It appears as if sometime after breezy the file in question (libnsplugin.so) hasn't been built into the ubuntu package by default. in dedian there is this package package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/mozilla-openoffice.org -- there is a plugin for OO.o that allows you to open stuff in firefox can we add this feature please https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119103 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So, in hardware cost terms, it may still really be cheaper for customers who ultimately want Linux to just buy the Windows PC and then wipe off Windows, together with all the other trial software that includes. /snip You have to ask why do these software companies want to do this.

[ubuntu-uk] Dapper and Cups in a school environment
Hi, To fill you in I am from Skegness Grammar School an 800+ pupil school in Lincolnshire. We run Ubuntu Dapper as a thin client environment right throughout the school and use it to teach ALL curriculum lessons. Just recently we have had a few problems printing from the four LTSP servers we have. (we don't use edubuntu due to Local Disk Access, although in a few months we will be trying edgy on a test server. Anyway I digress). I think the reason is that we have the four app servers accessing the jetdirect enables printers directly insteed of on server managing all. We also would like to allow access to sertain printers from all machines but only from staff accounts, thus: My idea was to install a Dapper server and on it cupsys et al. Then administer via web (from a set number of machines, e.i. My office, staff room, anywhere the kids don't have access). Problem is that the web interface is disabled by default.. not a problem I hear you cry. Wrong! after enabling the / and /admin sections via the cupsd.conf Allow directive the web site does indeed become accessible, problem is that when trying to add a printer the web interface is asking for an upgrade because I am not accessing it from https://. I know this is some kind of licence issue using ssl, but I don't want to use https. and even when I install openssl the thing still doesn't work. I have googled and there has been a few posts relating to my problem here but none that actually fix the problem, after trying the suggestions the trail just goes cold. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Kind regards Alistair Crust Systems Administrator Skegness Grammar School Vernon Road Skegness PE25 2QS TEL: 01754 61 (ext'852) FAX: 01754 896875 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

All the kids are happy with it, esp' at lunch when they swamp the labs to play flash games online! from what I understand here, you want to use cups for some printers. your setup is very well done (thin clients, great stuff). however, I did find one limitation on ubuntu ... using cups. I'm finding that out too.. If ubuntu wants to get into the enterprise more, this will have to be addressed at some stage. Do I hear someone say Put an option on the server install cd to install a pre-configured cups server.. email server, headless ltsp server etal I would be more than willing to test stuff out in this respect. Ubuntu expects you to use their panel interface for cups, not http://localhost:661/. I found this out the hard way, if I had known it would have only taken me five minutes to set up the printing on my ubuntu box! maybe you might want to consider using the ubuntu server version .. maybe then you could use cups itself through its webinterface? just my guess ... anyway, let me know the solution ! I am in-fact using the dapper server, then installing cupsys cupsys-bsd fommatic-filters-ppds etc etc Adding Allow my.net.work.ip to / and /admin in cupsd.conf has enabled the web interface. Up to this point is fantastic. Adding the printer is where I have problems. As soon as I finish the setup and click add printer the page asks me to upgrade or access the /admin via https. If this https has been complied out by the package maintainers upstream then why is it still asking me for https when adding a printer?

I'm very impressed with Ubuntu and I would like to do my best to encourage the UK Voluntary Sector to make more use of FOSS - and Ubuntu in particular. Trouble is, other than fairly casual conversations, I'm not sure of the best way of doing this. Has anybody got any ideas? It seems to me that the voluntary sector and FOSS are a perfect match. In fact I'd go as far as saying that the voluntary sector could be a significant driving force in the wider acceptance of FOSS. Unfortunately even here Windows is ubiquitous - and even where organisations might be prepared to switch to Linux there are problems with knowledge/skills (particularly with regards to multi-platform networks and network admin/security issues) - but also problems with the fact that a lot of 3rd party/custom/proprietry software being used within these organisations only runs on Windows. Presumably the only way to put pressure on these software developers is for more people to use Linux - but we have a catch 22 since they (will say they) can't use Linux with their existing software. The charity that I work for has this problem - both our central database, and our websites currently only run on MS SQL and use .Net. Is there a simple way of getting around this? Adrian Mitchell My feeling is that there are quite a lot of small initiatives for bringing FLOSS into the voluntary sector (and public sector), spread all round the country. An example of a complete (and cheap) linux (Red Hat and LTSP in this case) solution: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/linuxunix/0,39020390,39166840,00.htm For national co-ordination, there's the social source events: http://www.socialsource.org.uk/ (Don't know what the current status is with that; the site doesn't seem to have been updated since November last year.) As far as Ubuntu specifically, I don't know of any deployments in the Vol/NGO sector in the UK. Interesting round-up http://www.lasa.org.uk/cgi-bin/publisher/display.cgi?1427-10103-12611+computanews My hunch is that the way to spread FLOSS is start with Firefox, so people don't have to jump straight into a new OS, but can see the benefits of free software quickly and in practice. Start with the (Canonical-supported) Open Cd: http://www.theopencd.org/ which comes with a cut-down version of Ubuntu Live. If there are enough people on this list involved in the voluntary sector, it could be worth starting an Ubuntu-for-Orgs.uk initiative, to promote and support orgs wanting to use FLOSS. HTH John Hi I'm from a school in Lincolnshire and we have been using linux and FLOSS for some time now (My boss says 3years +). We give the open cd away in our library to anyone who wants it, and the uptake has been great, we found that the cd's went quite quickly at first but now people copy the cd's and bring them back in for us to share again. We do all ICT Teaching on linux systems and have firefox and openoffice on most of the other windows machines in school. we use debian sarge with ltsp, firefox, nvu, xmlmind, openoffice, and zope for a-level projects. although we are experimenting with edubuntu-dapper and trying to include Local Disk Access.
