Status of Debian Edu "Bullseye"
(development started in July 2019)
This page is our main overview/tracker for the status of Debian Edu Buster. In addition to this we have a list of all bugs user-tagged "debian-edu".
Installation
Instead of the default xfce desktop environment, mate, gnome, lxde, lxqt or kde can be used by editing the kernel desktop parameter (default: desktop=xfce). See the Buster manual installation chapter how to edit kernel command line parameters.
Debian Edu ISOs for 64-bit and 32-bit PCs (both AMD and Intel processors) are available from the usual Debian places.
Download using http
(Replace amd64 with i386 if an image is needed for very old 32-bit PCs.)
Weekly builds using d-i from buster:
official images
unofficial images (including firmware, use only if really needed)
Daily iso-cd builds using d-i from unstable (iso-bd images are not built daily):
official image
unofficial image (including firmware, use only if really needed)
Download using rsync
Also recommended to update an already existing image.
rsync -v --progress cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-edu-testing-amd64-netinst.iso debian-edu-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
rsync -v --progress cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-cd/debian-edu-testing-i386-netinst.iso debian-edu-testing-i386-netinst.iso
rsync -v --progress cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-bd/debian-edu-testing-amd64-BD-1.iso debian-edu-testing-amd64-BD-1.iso
rsync -v --progress cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-bd/debian-edu-testing-i386-BD-1.iso debian-edu-testing-i386-BD-1.iso
Verify the downloaded image file
Detailed instructions for verifying these images are part of the Debian-CD FAQ.
Known problems we want to fix
major LTSP update in bullseye, see https://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2019/11/msg00037.html
- integrate icingaweb2
Known problems that need to be fixed elsewhere
LTSP 19.x: 'ltsp image /' fails to generate usable image, see 946946. For a workaround see the bugreport.
- debian-installer-11-netboot-{amd64,i386} packages do not exist yet.
X2Go doesn't register users with utmp/wtmp, see 890517. Remove the killer package (or disable the killer cron job) on the related LTSP server to avoid user sessions to be kicked out.
Known problems we fixed via workarounds, real fix needed elsewhere
- Nothing atm.
Manual
Our documentation could further be improved: eg by proof-reading and improving language+grammar used, by updating outdated entries, etc
