Status for Debian Edu based on Squeeze

See also ?DebianEdu/Devel/Squeeze.

All BTS reports related to Debian Edu should be usertagged. The ones open in testing are the ones affecting our squeeze testing.

See also DebianEdu/roadmap (and ?DebianEdu/wishlist).

Check the tagged BTS bugs in unstable and testing.

Netinstaller CD available from rsync -av ftp.skolelinux.no::$FIXURLPLEASE ., a DVD is not yer available.

More verbose instructions how to test are available, too.

The devlopment of the manual for squeeze hasn't really begun yet. Please collect stuff to document at DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze.

Issues to test

(Please don't add the status of those tests here, do that below. This list should cover a generic list of issues to test.)

  • Do LTSP clients boot?
  • Does the mail system work?
  • Does the creation of users work properly? Do they get a welcome-email?
  • Do diskless workstations work, allowing users to log in and use their applications.
  • How do KDE now handle LTSP local devices (USB memory sticks) inserted on the client? A popup should show up for the user only when devices on the thin client in use is inserted, and not when a memory stick is inserted on the thin client server. USB sticks do not work on thin clients.
  • Can we adjust the KDE menu to replace the default favorite applications? Yes, done by editing debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu/common/share/config/kickoffrc.
  • Can we adjust the KDE menu to start extra applets? Yes, this is done by adding .desktop files in autostart directories, for example in /etc/xdg/autostart/.
  • Which Iceweasel multimedia plugin work with most sites? The one we used for Lenny is removed in Squeeze. The most promising is gecho-mediaplayer.

Issues to fix

Critical

  • lwat issue(s) #1445 => can gosa replace lwat?

  • d-i-bootimages package missing in sid (BTS 570767)

  • Something is wrong with the generation and/or with the distribution of the LDAP SSL certificate. LDAP connections using TLS do not work. (BTS 570773)

  • The Apache configuration for munin is incorrect, causing http://www/munin/ to show error about non-existing page.

  • Iceweasel default page is not http://www/.

  • USB memory sticks do not work on LTSP thin clients.

Important

  • PXE installer ask for mirror to use even when the default choices work just fine. The preseeding do not seem to work. (BTS 570783)

  • When installing using norwegian langauge, a question about which (nb/nn) wordlist to use is asked. This should be preseeded if possible. (BTS 566912)

  • We need to use the new pam-config stuff instead of replacing the files in /etc/pam.d/. Might need pam-group support in pam-auth-update (BTS 370346) Workaround implemented in debian-edu-config by adding /usr/share/pam-config/edu-group.

  • KDE report about old kde3 configuration that need to be converted to kde4 configuration on first time login. First time users should not get such bogus message. (BTS 570784). This only affect the root user currently (BTS 582568)

  • The multimedia plugin for Iceweasel is no longer installed, making all non-flash based video and audio fail to work. (BTS 570785)

  • Installer hangs at the end after accepting the finish-install message when installing in a virtual kvm machine on Lenny. There is a kernel oops within the installer. Please file a bug in the Debian BTS.

Nice to have

  • Celestia is missing norwegian translation of the GUI and demo (BTS 570619 fixes a part of this).

  • Some init.d scripts are not using the output functions in /lib/lsb/init-functions, causing inconsistent output during boot (and no message displayed when running usplash in non-quiet mode): courier-imap-ssl, slapd, autofs5 (autofs), xfs, kdm.

  • The pdns-recursor scripts start to early in the boot (BTS 566877).

  • missing stuff from ?DebianEdu/ChangesForLTSPinLinex

  • The htpasswd call from cfengine to set a random Nagios password do not work. htpasswd show usage info instead of setting the password. (not valid anoymore... static default passwd is used?, please recheck)

Fixed issues

  • Several error messages are reported from update-alternatives called by openssh-server and heirloom-mailx in the installation log. This leads to bogus error reports from the self testing (BTS 579287, BTS 579285).

  • The grub background image is not activated any more. (BTS 570786)

  • The fetch-ldap-cert init.d script should start after slapd, not after apache. It connects to the ldaps port, not https. The script header should be fixed. (BTS 566973).

  • KDM do not understand the kdm artwork provided by debian-edu-artwork and refuses to start (BTS 570369).

  • hwdetect warn that the file /etc/modprobe.d/debian-edu-install need to end with .conf to be read in the future. This should be fixed. (done)
  • Some applications show up in strange places in the KDE menu and should be moved; qsynth (566730), score-reading-trainer(566725), noteedit (566728).

  • The munin cron job complain with email to root about /var/www/munin/ not being available. BTS bug 567168 in sitesummary fixed in svn and unstable, should enter testing 2010-02-16.

  • Samba fail to start on a main-server. (BTS 570775)

  • NFS exports do not seem to work when installing main-server+thin-client-server. The problem is that portmap only allow connections from localhost, and this can be changed using preseeding. There is work in Debian to repace portmap with rpcbind. We might want to do the same. (BTS 570776)

  • Nagios fail to start at first boot because the generated configuration isn't ready yet (sitesummary related?)
  • Is automount support missing? The autofs-ldap package is not installed, at least. Perhaps it changed name to autofs5-ldap? (BTS 570782)

  • Buttons in KDM theme do not work (BTS ). KDM configuration file have moved from /etc/kde3/ to /etc/kde4/, and the settings we want are no longer applied.

  • Default partition sizes are too small for workstation+thin-client-server installation (/opt, /var/ and /usr/ are too full). The cause is probably that all recommended packages are installed, and this require more space. (BTS 570772)

  • USB memory sticks do not work on LTSP thin clients.
  • libnss-ldapd have been split in two, and our preseeding need to preseed the nslcd package instead. Probably want to replace libpam-ldap with libpam-ldapd as well. (BTS 570781)
