Status of the Etch-based DebianEdu

This page describes the status of the Etch-based DebianEdu distribution. The status of other Debian-stuff can be found in ["Status"].

Tips and Testing Instructions can be found at [:DebianEdu/Etch:DebianEdu/Etch]

Known bugs

This is a list of known bugs in the Etch-based DebianEdu, and please provide links to the bugs in the Debian BTS or the DebianEdu [http://bugs.skolelinux.org/ Bugzilla].

Fatal (can't make test CD with these)

  • etch-cd from 2006-11-16 partitioning doesnt work, loops forever, etch-test works.

Important (need to fix before release)

  • Missing user administration system
    • replace with cipux? -> three blockers:

      1. security review of cipux (the backend).
      2. automatic installation incl. configuration (in etch/sid)
      3. migration plan for existing wlus setups (Georg Damm wrote migration scripts)
    • replace with GOSA? apt-cache show gosa
  • Source CD should include source for only the binary packages included -> set SOURCE=1. then we need to check if all the source packages from the binary packages on our CD are on that CD...

  • Incorrect nagios v2 configuration.
  • Empty resolv.conf in ltsp chroot after installation
  • Wrong keyboard layout in LTSP, should be set by localization-config
  • Spell checker configuration is needed (KDE to use myspell?)

Annoying (should fix if we have time)

  • CD is not signed -> setting SECURED=1 in CONF-$flavor.sh was not enough

  • Artwork should be generally improved
  • Setting up networking and Configuring network interfaces fail in the booting of ltsp clients, looks ugly.

Fixed

  • Access to local devices for the console user (audio, floppy, etc)
  • CD image do not install because of kernel version skew between the kernel and the module udebs on the CD.
  • Fail to install on a HD where lvm have been used previously, this is fixed in D-I daily builds from sid (Verified 16/10-2006 -Ronny). Migrated to etch 20/10-2006
  • LTSP artwork -> added to ltsp preseed, ldm artwork ok.

  • Broken LTSP boot, first client attempth fail to boot, after server is restarted - fixed in initramfs-tools 0.82.
  • Wrong keyboard layout in some countries. [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319859 #319859]

  • usplash in ltsp booting clients.
  • slapd fail to start because /var/run/slapd is missing. It need to be owned by openldap:openldap.
  • Unstable CD build, no longer build broken CD when unable to reach the apt sources.
  • Installer fail if running in GUI mode [http://bugs.debian.org/282147 #282147]

  • LDAP NSS is broken [http://bugs.debian.org/375077 #375077] We have a workaround in the current cd's.

  • Package manager (adept) for KDE is missing in etch [http://bugs.debian.org/388023 #388023]

Please fill in with more info and links to the BTS's in the list above. :)
