Re: how to configure the network in a lab with 8 computers and ubuntustudio

I have done that - how easy - well, not so easy... I think. The classroom was dual boot (XP/Dapper). That classroom no more exist - it was just a test classroom, but working one. I made it with g4u-program: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ 1. I fix one machine to dual boot and then cloned it to others. Machines were exactly same ones. [Sorry for picture size] http://www.arkki.info/howto/LTSP_Pikiruukki/Pikiruukki_23.png 2. Then I cloned one in a server (image) and cloned that image to others. http://www.arkki.info/howto/LTSP_Pikiruukki/Pikiruukki_18.png 3. You need one working dhcpd-server and one working ftp-server and fast LAN. 4. Example machine to a ftp-server: uploaddisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pikiruukki.gz wd0 5. Example machine to others: slurpdisk [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pikiruukki.gz wd0 6. You use same g4u-live-disc in every machine. It take hours to clone that way machines, but it works. So if you like to try, g4u is for you.

I misremember all the details, but it's enough to kill the idea of doing anything interesting with Rosegarden in an LTSP-like environment. Some of the problems could be solved if there were real interest, but I think we concluded that the best we could do in this environment would be so annoyingly limited as to be essentially pointless. -- D.

PS: It would also be nice to configure all machines without effort (install programs and so on). A local repo would be a good but I am thinking if it would be possible to clone all the system changes in one machine to the other 7... When reading this, PXE jumped into my mind. Without any own experience in this matter, perhaps KA-Tools may be worth looking at: http://pauillac.inria.fr/cdrom/www/ka-tools/ (More general things on this topic see at: http://www.kegel.com/linux/pxe.html, and this may declare some background too: http://www.linuxdevices.com/files/misc/pxe_boot_stb-howto.html) I don't know how much of that mentioned stuff is part of ubuntu or edubuntu, so this posting here may only be a hint to the next corner on your way across the whole town.

Re: how to configure the network in a lab with 8 computers and ubuntustudio
Some ideas from my unconventional mind .. (not even sure if these would work) I would probably end up cloning hard drives to begin with, then .. Create the same username such as 'student' with the same password Map the home for that username to an external drive (not sure if latency would be an issue - if so then script a dump of the external drive to the internal hard drive to temporarily use for home, then on log off, script a dump back to the external drive and clear the home ready for the next user.) This way each student gets to keep their work with them and you are not using large storage in house. Fry's amongst others do a cheap external usb enclosure ($9 last time I bought one) that is usb bus powered and you can get some low cost 2.5in hard drives to put in them (or even used drives) The student username would not be able to muck around with the configuration and if something did go wrong, well, you simply clone out the master again or push the necessary files to the workstation. or I don't know how to do this, but how about mounting an image on the network during the boot process to pull the root directory, then running the script mentioned above to pull home from usbdisk. padovani wrote: Hi, we are planning to create a ubuntu-studio based lab with 8 computers... I am already a Ubuntu studio user, but had never configured a network like that in ubuntu... Does anyone have a tutorial or something like that? We would need to set these machines so that the students could run some programs but not change the config files and such things... Any tips are welcome. tx, J. H.
