- <div class="date">11th June 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>When installing RedHat, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu on some machines,
-the screen just turn black when Linux boot, either during installation
-or on first boot from the hard disk. I've seen it once in a while the
-last few years, but only recently understood the cause. I've seen it
-on HP laptops, and on my latest acquaintance the Packard Bell laptop.
-The reason seem to be in the wiring of some laptops. The system to
-control the screen background light is inverted, so when Linux try to
-turn the brightness fully on, it end up turning it off instead. I do
-not know which Linux drivers are affected, but this post is about the
-i915 driver used by the
-<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
-EasyNote LV</a>, Thinkpad X40 and many other laptops.</p>
-
-<p>The problem can be worked around two ways. Either by adding
-i915.invert_brightness=1 as a kernel option, or by adding a file in
-/etc/modprobe.d/ to tell modprobe to add the invert_brightness=1
-option when it load the i915 kernel module. On Debian and Ubuntu, it
-can be done by running these commands as root:</p>
-
-<pre>
-echo options i915 invert_brightness=1 | tee /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
-update-initramfs -u -k all
-</pre>
-
-<p>Since March 2012 there is
-<a href="http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4dca20efb1a9c2efefc28ad2867e5d6c3f5e1955">a
-mechanism in the Linux kernel</a> to tell the i915 driver which
-hardware have this problem, and get the driver to invert the
-brightness setting automatically. To use it, one need to add a row in
-<a href="http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c">the
-intel_quirks array</a> in the driver source
-<tt>drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c</tt> (look for "<tt>static
-struct intel_quirk intel_quirks</tt>"), specifying the PCI device
-number (vendor number 8086 is assumed) and subdevice vendor and device
-number.</p>
-
-<p>My Packard Bell EasyNote LV got this output from <tt>lspci
--vvnn</tt> for the video card in question:</p>

- { 0x0156, 0x1025, 0x0688, quirk_invert_brightness },
- ...
-}
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>According to the kernel module instructions (as seen using
-<tt>modinfo i915</tt>), information about hardware needing the
-invert_brightness flag should be sent to the
-<a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel">dri-devel
-(at) lists.freedesktop.org</a> mailing list to reach the kernel
-developers. But my email about the laptop sent 2013-06-03 have not
-yet shown up in
-<a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-June/thread.html">the
-web archive for the mailing list</a>, so I suspect they do not accept
-emails from non-subscribers. Because of this, I sent my patch also to
-the Debian bug tracking system instead as
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/710938">BTS report #710938</a>, to make
-sure the patch is not lost.</p>
-
-<p>Unfortunately, it is not enough to fix the kernel to get Laptops
-with this problem working properly with Linux. If you use Gnome, your
-worries should be over at this point. But if you use KDE, there is
-something in KDE ignoring the invert_brightness setting and turning on
-the screen during login. I've reported it to Debian as
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/711237">BTS report #711237</a>, and
-have no idea yet how to figure out exactly what subsystem is doing
-this. Perhaps you can help? Perhaps you know what the Gnome
-developers did to handle this, and this can give a clue to the KDE
-developers? Or you know where in KDE the screen brightness is changed
-during login? If so, please update the BTS report (or get in touch if
-you do not know how to update BTS).</p>

- This used to work, but stopped working some time since Squeeze.
- Perhaps some obsolete PHP feature was used?</li>

+ <div class="body"><p>Earlier, I reported about
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html">my
+problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk</a>. Friday I was
+told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away. And as
+there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
+today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
+currently on the disk.</p>
+
+<p>I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
+<a href="https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3472&DwnldID=18363&ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&lang=eng">issdfut_2.0.4.iso</a>
+(aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
+according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
+disks. I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
+booted the ISO from a USB stick. The disk was recognized, but the
+program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
+to insert any Intel firmware. So no change, and the disk is still
+unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
+working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware. No idea how likely
+that is. Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness. I
+got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
+the broken disks.</p>

+ <div class="date"> 2nd August 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since my last update. Since last summer, I
+have worked on a Norwegian
+<a href="http://www.docbook.org/">docbook</a> version of the 2004 book
+<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig,
+to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
+law. Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
+number of strings to translate. Due to real life constraints, I have
+not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
+I found time to work on it again. Still lots of work left, but the
+first draft is nearing completion. I created a graph to show the
+progress of the translation:</p>
+
+<p><img width="80%" align="center" src="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png"></p>
+
+<p>When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
+proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
+drawings need to be fixed. There are probably also some index entries
+missing that need to be added. This can be done by comparing the
+index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
+English docbook version with the paper version. Last, the colophon
+page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
+done. I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
+of the index pages. All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
+docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
+Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.</p>
+
+<p>There is still need for translators and people with docbook
+knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
+with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
+translation and proof reading. And I would like the figures to be
+redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them. Any SVG master
+around? There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
+If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
+project files currently available from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
+the updated
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true">PDF</a>
+and
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true">EPUB</a>
+are published on github. The HTML version is published as well, but
+github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I

- <div class="date"> 4th June 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>It has been a while since my last English
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu and Skolelinux</a>
-interview last November. But the developers and translators are still
-pulling along to get the Wheezy based release out the door, and this
-time I managed to get an interview from one of the French translators
-in the project, Cédric Boutillier.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Who are you, and how do you spend your days?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I am 34 year old. I live near Paris, France. I am an assistant
-professor in probability theory. I spend my daytime teaching
-mathematics at the university and doing fundamental research in
-probability in connexion with combinatorics and statistical physics.</p>
-
-<p>I have been involved in the Debian project for a couple of years
-and became Debian Developer a few months ago. I am working on Ruby
-packaging, publicity and translation.</p>
-
-<p><strong>How did you get in contact with the Skolelinux / Debian Edu
-project?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I came to the Debian Edu project after a call for translation of
-<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Manuals">the
-Debian Edu manual</a> for the release of Debian Edu Squeeze. Since
-then, I have been working on updating the French translation of the
-manual.
-
-<p>I had the opportunity to make an installation of Debian Edu in a
-virtual machine when I was preparing localised version of some screen
-shots for the manual. I was amazed to see it worked out of the box and
-how comprehensive the list of software installed by default was.</p>
-
-<p>What amazed me was the complete network infrastructure directly
-ready to use, which can and the nice administration interface provided
-by <a href="https://oss.gonicus.de/labs/gosa/">GOsa²</a>. What pleased
-me also was the fact that among the software installed by default,
-there were many "traditional" educative software to learn languages,
-to count, to program... but also software to develop creativity and
-artistic skills with music (<a href="http://ardour.org/">Ardour</a>,
-<a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a>) and
-movies/animation (I was especially thinking of
-<a href="http://linuxstopmotion.sourceforge.net/">Stopmotion</a>).</p>
-
-<p>I am following the development of Debian Edu and am hanging out on
-<a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu">#debian-edu</a>.
-Unfortunately, I don't much time to get more involved in this
-beautiful project.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the advantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>For me, the main advantages of Skolelinux/Debian Edu are its
-community of experts and its precise documentation, as well as the
-fact that it provides a solution ready to use.</p>
-
-<p>I would add also the fact that it is based on the rock solid Debian
-distribution, which ensures stability and provides a huge collection
-of educational free software.</p>
-
-<p><strong>What do you see as the disadvantages of Skolelinux / Debian
-Edu?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Maybe the lack of manpower to do lobbying on the
-project. Sometimes, people who need to take decisions concerning IT do
-not have all the elements to evaluate properly free software
-solutions. The fact that support by a company may be difficult to find
-is probably a problem if the school does not have IT personnel.</p>
-
-<p>One can find support from a company by looking at
-<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Help/ProfessionalHelp">the
-wiki dokumentation</a>, where some countries already have a number of
-companies providing support for Debian Edu, like Germany or
-Norway. This list is easy to find readily from the manual. However,
-for other countries, like France, the list is empty. I guess that
-consultants proposing support for Debian would be able to provide some
-support for Debian Edu as well.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Which free software do you use daily?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I am using the KDE Plasma Desktop. But the pieces of software I use
-most runs in a terminal: Mutt and OfflineIMAP for emails, latex for
-scientific documents, mpd for music. VIM is my editor of choice. I am
-also using the mathematical software
-<a href="http://www.scilab.org/en/scilab/about">Scilab</a> and
-<a href="http://www.sagemath.org/index.html">Sage</a> (built from
-source as not completely packaged for Debian, yet).
-
-<p><strong>Do you have any suggestions for teachers interested in
-using the free software in Debian to teach mathematics and
-statistics?</strong></p>
-
-<p>I do not have any "nice" recommendations for statistics. At our
-university, we use both <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">R</a> and
-Scilab to teach statistics and probabilistic simulations. For
-geometry, there are nice programs:</p>

+ <div class="date">27th July 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The first wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today. This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b0 released
+2013-07-27</strong></p>
+
+<p>These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~b0, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
+than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
+
+<p>This is the fifth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p>ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Switched roaming workstation profiles from wicd to network-manager
+ for network configuration, as wicd didn't work any more.</li>
+<li>Changed version numbers of patched gosa and libpam-mklocaluser
+ packages to make sure our locally patched versions will be replaced
+ by the official packages when they are released from Debian. Those
+ installing alpha version need to reinstall or manually downgrade gosa
+ and libpam-mklocaluser.</li>
+<li>Added bluetooth tools to the default desktop (bluedevil, blueman).</li>
+<li>Added tools for sharing the desktop on KDE (krdc, krfb).</li>
+<li>Added valgrind to the default installation for easier debugging of
+ crash bugs.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
<ul>
-<li><a href="http://www.drgeo.eu/">drgeo</a> and
-<a href="http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/kig">kig</a> to do
-constructions in planar geometry
+<li>Fixed artwork package to work with gnome, no longer break
+ desktop=gnome installations.</li>
+<li>Adjusted installer to now work when forced to use a proxy with the
+ netinst CD.</li>
+<li>Fixed code detecting and setting/loading hardware specific
+ setup/firmware to work more robust out of the box.</li>
+<li>Adjusted Kerberos setup to detect realm and server settings at
+ install time instead of dynamically at run time. This avoid a crash
+ with krb5-auth-dialog on diskless workstations without a DNS name.</li>
+<li>Worked around misfeature in network-manager not calling the dhclient
+ exit hooks, causing automatic proxy configuration and automatic host
+ name setting at run time to work again.</li>
+<li>Fixed feature setting the default Iceweasel start page from URL
+ fetched from LDAP, to allow schools to set the global default by
+ updating the dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no LDAP object.</li>
+<li>Changed default host name on all networked machines to be unique
+ (generated from MAC or reverse DNS) after boot.</li>
+<li>Adjusted partition sizes to make sure they are big enough.</li>
-<li><a href="http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/download/kali.html">kali</a>

- <div class="body"><p>Jeg jobber til daglig ved <a href="http://www.uio.no/">Universitetet
-i Oslo</a>, en institusjon som lenge har vektlagt verdien av åpne
-standarder og fri programvare. Men noe har endret seg, og for en
-liten stund tilbake annonserte USIT at dagens fungerende e-postsystemet
-basert på fri programvare skulle byttes ut med Microsoft Exchange og
-at Microsoft Outlook skulle bli den best fungerende men antagelig ikke
-eneste støttede e-postklienten. Annonseringen har ført til flere
-protester og <a href="http://folk.uio.no/dssantos/nooutlookatuio/">en
-underskriftskampanje</a>, initiert av Diana Santos, der så langt 253
-personer har signert. Prosjektet
-<a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike/">NIKE (Ny integrert
-kalender/e-post)</a> ble initiert for å se på mulige løsninger med
-utgangspunkt i at en kombinert epost/kalenderløsning var påkrevd, og
-prosjektet
-<a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike-implementasjon/">NIKE-implementasjon</a>
-er igang med å rulle ut MS Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo.</p>
-

+ <div class="date">17th July 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Today I switched to
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html">my
+new laptop</a>. I've previously written about the problems I had with
+my new Thinkpad X230, which was delivered with an
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html">180
+GB Intel SSD disk with Lenovo firmware</a> that did not handle
+sustained writes. My hardware supplier have been very forthcoming in
+trying to find a solution, and after first trying with another
+identical 180 GB disks they decided to send me a 256 GB Samsung SSD
+disk instead to fix it once and for all. The Samsung disk survived
+the installation of Debian with encrypted disks (filling the disk with
+random data during installation killed the first two), and I thus
+decided to trust it with my data. I have installed it as a Debian Edu
+Wheezy roaming workstation hooked up with my Debian Edu Squeeze main
+server at home using Kerberos and LDAP, and will use it as my work
+station from now on.</p>
+
+<p>As this is a solid state disk with no moving parts, I believe the
+Debian Wheezy default installation need to be tuned a bit to increase
+performance and increase life time of the disk. The Linux kernel and
+user space applications do not yet adjust automatically to such
+environment. To make it easier for my self, I created a draft Debian
+package <tt>ssd-setup</tt> to handle this tuning. The
+<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ssd-setup.git">source
+for the ssd-setup package</a> is available from collab-maint, and it
+is set up to adjust the setup of the machine by just installing the
+package. If there is any non-SSD disk in the machine, the package
+will refuse to install, as I did not try to write any logic to sort
+file systems in SSD and non-SSD file systems.</p>
+
+<p>I consider the package a draft, as I am a bit unsure how to best
+set up Debian Wheezy with an SSD. It is adjusted to my use case,
+where I set up the machine with one large encrypted partition (in
+addition to /boot), put LVM on top of this and set up partitions on
+top of this again. See the README file in the package source for the
+references I used to pick the settings. At the moment these
+parameters are tuned:</p>

-</ul>
+<li>Adjust sysctl values vm.swappiness to 1 and vm.vfs_cache_pressure
+ to 50 to reduce the kernel eagerness to swap out processes.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>During installation, I cancelled the part where the installer fill
+the disk with random data, as this would kill the SSD performance for
+little gain. My goal with the encrypted file system is to ensure
+those stealing my laptop end up with a brick and not a working
+computer. I have no hope in keeping the really resourceful people
+from getting the data on the disk (see
+<a href="http://xkcd.com/538/">XKCD #538</a> for an explanation why).
+Thus I concluded that adding the discard option to crypttab is the
+right thing to do.</p>
+
+<p>I considered using the noop I/O scheduler, as several recommended
+it for SSD, but others recommended deadline and a benchmark I found
+indicated that deadline might be better for interactive use.</p>
+
+<p>I also considered using the 'discard' file system option for ext3
+and ext4, but read that it would give a performance hit ever time a
+file is removed, and thought it best to that that slowdown once a day
+instead of during my work.</p>
+
+<p>My package do not set up tmpfs on /var/run, /var/lock and /tmp, as
+this is already done by Debian Edu.</p>
+
+<p>I have not yet started on the user space tuning. I expect
+iceweasel need some tuning, and perhaps other applications too, but
+have not yet had time to investigate those parts.</p>
+
+<p>The package should work on Ubuntu too, but I have not yet tested it
+there.</p>
+
+<p>As for the answer to the question in the title of this blog post,
+as far as I know, the only solution I know about is to replace the
+disk. It might be possible to flash it with Intel firmware instead of
+the Lenovo firmware. But I have not tried and did not want to do so
+without approval from Lenovo as I wanted to keep the warranty on the
+disk until a solution was found and they wanted the broken disks
+back.</p>

+ <div class="body"><p>A few days ago, I wrote about
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html">the
+problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk</a>, which
+was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
+sustained write. My supplier is in contact with
+<a href="http://www.lenovo.com/">Lenovo</a>, and they wanted to send a
+replacement disk to try to fix the problem. They decided to send an
+identical model, so my hopes for a permanent fix was slim.</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, today I got the replacement disk and tried to install
+Debian Edu Wheezy with encrypted disk on it. The new disk have the
+same firmware version as the original. This time my hope raised
+slightly as the installation progressed, as the original disk used to
+die after 4-7% of the disk was written to, while this time it kept
+going past 10%, 20%, 40% and even past 50%. But around 60%, the disk
+died again and I was back on square one. I still do not have a new
+laptop with a disk I can trust. I can not live with a disk that might
+lock up when I download a new
+<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> ISO or
+other large files. I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
+the next proposal from Lenovo.</p>
+
+<p>The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,

- <div class="date">27th May 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Two days ago, I asked
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_can_I_install_Linux_on_a_Packard_Bell_Easynote_LV_preinstalled_with_Windows_8_.html">how
-I could install Linux on a Packard Bell EasyNote LV computer
-preinstalled with Windows 8</a>. I found a solution, but am horrified
-with the obstacles put in the way of Linux users on a laptop with UEFI
-and Windows 8.</p>
-
-<p>I never found out if the cause of my problems were the use of UEFI
-secure booting or fast boot. I suspect fast boot was the problem,
-causing the firmware to boot directly from HD without considering any
-key presses and alternative devices, but do not know UEFI settings
-enough to tell.</p>
-
-<p>There is no way to install Linux on the machine in question without
-opening the box and disconnecting the hard drive! This is as far as I
-can tell, the only way to get access to the firmware setup menu
-without accepting the Windows 8 license agreement. I am told (and
-found description on how to) that it is possible to configure the
-firmware setup once booted into Windows 8. But as I believe the terms
-of that agreement are completely unacceptable, accepting the license
-was never an alternative. I do not enter agreements I do not intend
-to follow.</p>
-
-<p>I feared I had to return the laptops and ask for a refund, and
-waste many hours on this, but luckily there was a way to get it to
-work. But I would not recommend it to anyone planning to run Linux on
-it, and I have become sceptical to Windows 8 certified laptops. Is
-this the way Linux will be forced out of the market place, by making
-it close to impossible for "normal" users to install Linux without
-accepting the Microsoft Windows license terms? Or at least not
-without risking to loose the warranty?</p>
-
-<p>I've updated the
-<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Linux Laptop
-wiki page for Packard Bell EasyNote LV</a>, to ensure the next person
-do not have to struggle as much as I did to get Linux into the
-machine.</p>

-Michael Tokarev and others for feedback and ideas.</p>

- <div class="date">25th May 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>I've run into quite a problem the last few days. I bought three
-new laptops for my parents and a few others. I bought Packard Bell
-Easynote LV to run Kubuntu on and use as their home computer. But I
-am completely unable to figure out how to install Linux on it. The
-computer is preinstalled with Windows 8, and I suspect it uses UEFI
-instead of a BIOS to boot.</p>
-
-<p>The problem is that I am unable to get it to PXE boot, and unable
-to get it to boot the Linux installer from my USB stick. I have yet
-to try the DVD install, and still hope it will work. when I turn on
-the computer, there is no information on what buttons to press to get
-the normal boot menu. I expect to get some boot menu to select PXE or
-USB stick booting. When booting, it first ask for the language to
-use, then for some regional settings, and finally if I will accept the
-Windows 8 terms of use. As these terms are completely unacceptable to
-me, I have no other choice but to turn off the computer and try again
-to get it to boot the Linux installer.</p>
-
-<p>I have gathered my findings so far on a Linlap page about the
-<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
-EasyNote LV</a> model. If you have any idea how to get Linux
-installed on this machine, please get in touch or update that wiki
-page. If I can't find a way to install Linux, I will have to return
-the laptop to the seller and find another machine for my parents.</p>
-
-<p>I wonder, is this the way Linux will be forced out of the market
-using UEFI and "secure boot" by making it impossible to install Linux
-on new Laptops?</p>

+ <div class="date"> 5th July 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>Half a year ago, I reported that I had to find a
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html">replacement
+for my trusty old Thinkpad X41</a>. Unfortunately I did not have much
+time to spend on it, and it took a while to find a model I believe
+will do the job, but two days ago the replacement finally arrived. I
+ended up picking a
+<a href="http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230">Thinkpad X230</a>
+with SSD disk (NZDAJMN). I first test installed Debian Edu Wheezy as
+a roaming workstation, and it seemed to work flawlessly. But my
+second installation with encrypted disk was not as successful. More
+on that below.</p>
+
+<p>I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
+important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
+listed in the feature list. But I did get good help from the search
+feature at <a href="http://www.prisjakt.no/">Prisjakt</a>, which
+allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
+requirements. A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks according
+to that search interface, so I had to drop specifying the number of
+disks from my search parameters. I also asked around among friends to
+get their impression on keyboards and robustness.</p>
+
+<p>So the new laptop arrived, and it is quite a lot wider than the
+X41. I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is
+significantly wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my
+hand a lot more to reach the edges. But the key response is fairly
+good and the individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope
+I will get used to it. My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really
+needed a new laptop now. :)</p>
+
+<p>Turning off the touch pad was simple. All it took was a quick
+visit to the BIOS during boot it disable it.</p>
+
+<p>But there is a fatal problem with the laptop. The 180 GB SSD disk
+lock up during load. And this happen when installing Debian Wheezy
+with encrypted disk, while the disk is being filled with random data.
+I also tested to install Ubuntu Raring, and it happen there too if I
+reenable the code to fill the disk with random data (it is disabled by
+default in Ubuntu). And the bug with is already known. It was
+reported to Debian as <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/691427">BTS
+report #691427 2012-10-25</a> (journal commit I/O error on brand-new
+Thinkpad T430s ext4 on lvm on SSD). It is also reported to the Linux
+kernel developers as
+<a href="https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51861">Kernel bugzilla
+report #51861 2012-12-20</a> (Intel SSD 520 stops working under load
+(SSDSC2BW180A3L in Lenovo ThinkPad T430s)). It is also reported on the
+Lenovo forums, both for
+<a href="http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-Intel-SSD-520-180GB-issue/m-p/1070549">T430
+2012-11-10</a> and for
+<a href="http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x230-SATA-errors-with-180GB-Intel-520-SSD-under-heavy-write-load/m-p/1068147">X230
+03-20-2013</a>. The problem do not only affect installation. The
+reports state that the disk lock up during use if many writes are done
+on the disk, so it is much no use to work around the installation
+problem and end up with a computer that can lock up at any moment.
+There is even a
+<a href="https://git.efficios.com/?p=test-ssd.git">small C program
+available</a> that will lock up the hard drive after running a few
+minutes by writing to a file.</p>
+
+<p>I've contacted my supplier and asked how to handle this, and after
+contacting PCHELP Norway (request 01D1FDP) which handle support
+requests for Lenovo, his first suggestion was to upgrade the disk
+firmware. Unfortunately there is no newer firmware available from
+Lenovo, as my disk already have the most recent one (version LF1i). I
+hope to hear more from him today and hope the problem can be
+fixed. :)</p>

- <div class="date">24th May 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>En ting
-<a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux-prosjektet</a> har
-hatt mye glede av er studentprosjekter. F.eks. er
-<a href="http://linuxstopmotion.org/">stillbildeanimasjonssystemet
-Stopmotion</a> resultat av et studentprosjekt i Skolelinux. De siste
-månedene har en ivrig student veiledet av Marius Kotsbak i
-<a href="http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/">FRiSK</a> testet hva en
-kan få til med en datamaskin til NOK 400,- (antagelig 1700,- med
-skjerm, tastatur og mus) når det brukes i Skolelinux. Jeg spurte han
-om et intervju.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Jeg heter Nirosan Thiyagalingam. Jeg er 24 år og studerer
-dataingeniør studiet ved Høgskolen i Sør Trøndelag. Interessen for
-data har siden ung alder vært tilstede og jeg har i tillegg alltid
-vært glad i å lære nye ting. Med teknologi som endres svært hurtig er
-det alltid noe nytt å lære. Noe som igjen har gjort det svært
-interessant å følge med på utviklingen. Jeg valgte dataingeniør
-studiet grunnet ønske om å lære enda mer om programmering og utvikling
-av store systemer.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Skolelinux prosjektet hørte jeg først om i media. Men det var først
-når jeg skulle velge bacheloroppgave at jeg fattet mer interesse for
-prosjektet. Et enkelt søk på nettet førte meg til skolelinux sine
-hjemmesider. Informasjonen jeg fant der gjorde meg enda nysgjerrig og
-jeg valgte derfor en oppgave som gikk ut på å få en
-<a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry PI</a>. Altså en
-ultra-billig datamaskin til å kjøre Debian Edu på lik linje med
-vanlige datamaskiner. I løpet av prosjektet ble det gjort mye
-forskning på nettet. Det var mye jeg måtte forstå rundt hvordan
-operativsystemet Linux fungerte før jeg kunne angripe
-problemet. Prøvde først å finne ut hvordan man kunne transformere en
-vanlig installasjon av Skolelinux til Raspberry PI, men dette var
-altfor vanskelig å jeg endte opp med mer spørsmål enn svar. Det ble
-videre opprettet kontakt med Skolelinux utviklere på IRC der jeg fikk
-diskutert hvilken retning jeg burde gå for å få til en fullverdig
-løsning. Det ble bestemt at jeg skulle gå for å først installere
-<a href="http://www.raspbian.org/">Raspian</a>. Dette er et
-operativsystem basert på Debian spesiallaget for Raspberry Pi sin
-maskinvare. Nå som Debian var installert på datamaskinen gjenstod det
-å installere de nødvendige Skolelinux pakkene for å få til et
-fullverdig system. Disse pakkene ble installert manuelt i første
-omgang, men ble senere installert automatisk via et script som Petter
-Reinholdtsen laget. Dette scriptet er så enkel å bruke at man er i
-gang med installasjonen i løpet av bare 5 minutter. Ikke nok med det,
-alt skjer helt automatisk. Alt i alt er jeg veldig fornøyd med
-resultatet av installasjonsprosessen. Raspberry Pi er en veldig svak
-maskin og det merkes godt når man har installert Skolelinux på
-den. Video og 3D-rendering fungerer utrolig dårlig, men nettsurfing og
-kontorprogrammer fungerer godt. Det kan derfor konkluderes med at
-datamaskinen er egnet for enkle oppgaver.
-
-<p>Jeg syns det er viktig påpeke at dette kun er startfasen av en slik
-løsning. På markedet finnes det nå maskiner som har bedre hardware enn
-Raspberry Pi. Det er store muligheter for at man kan klare å
-installere Skolelinux på disse også, og da forsvinner nok mest
-sannsynlig ytelsesproblemene med Video og 3D rendering også.</p>
-
-<p>Det ble også prøvd med en løsning som gjorde at Raspberry Pi
-fungerte som en tynnklient. Denne løsningen hadde langt bedre ytelse
-med tanke på hastighet og brukeropplevelse. Men også her var video og
-3D rendering dårlig. Det ble brukt en liten Linux distribusjon kalt
-<a href="http://www.berryterminal.com/">BerryTerminal</a> for å få til
-dette.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Fordelen med Skolelinux er mange. At det er gratis er en stor
-fordel, men at det er så mange som er med på å utvikle det og
-vedlikeholde det er en enda større fordel. Allerede før jeg startet
-med prosjektet så jeg mange fordeler, og når jeg nærmet meg sluttfasen
-så jeg langt flere. At prosjektet skulle inneha en så høy kvalitet
-hadde jeg aldri trodd. En vanlig Skolelinux installasjon har de
-nødvendige programmene og funksjonen som både små og store skoler i
-tillegg til organisasjoner kan klare seg med. At prosjektet tilbyr en
-så komplett løsning er en kjempefordel. Installasjonen er knirkefri
-og det er svært enkelt å installere og komme i gang.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Ulempene jeg ser med prosjektet er ryddigheten av websidene. Selv
-om websidene er enkle og konsise er det allikevel ikke appellerende i
-like stor grad som for eksempel
-<a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> sine sider. Deres side
-tilbyr, i tillegg til godt design og presentasjon, en nettbasert
-emulator av deres operativsystem. Dette er en stor fordel slik jeg ser
-det. Bortsett fra dette ser jeg absolutt ingen ulemper med
-Skolelinux-prosjektet.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Til daglig er jeg en flittig bruker av det åpne media
-sentersystemet <a href="http://xbmc.org/">XBMC</a>. Det enorme
-samfunnet rundt dette prosjektet har gjort dette til et program som
-dekker alles behov. Man kan tilpasse det akkurat slik man vil både med
-tanke på utseende og funksjoner ved installere plug-ins eller
-scripts.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
-skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
-
-<p>Strategien som burde brukes sett fra mine øyne er
-markedsføring. Jeg er sikker på at om flere skoler fikk et lite innsyn
-i hvor bra Skolelinux er så ville de ikke nølt med å gå over fra noe
-annet som koster de store summer. At skolelinux til de grader tilbyr
-en så komplett løsning bure komme frem. Enten via reklamekampanjer
-eller ved å sende ut folk til skoler for så å la skolenettverk
-ansvarlige få teste ut hvordan Skolelinux fungerer i praksis. Om det
-i tillegg ble utviklet gode websider og en emulator for å la brukere
-prøve operativsystemet ville nok dette ha styrket inntrykket
-betraktelig.</p>

- <div class="body"><p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> is
-an operating system based on Debian intended for use in schools. It
-contain a turn-key solution for the computer network provided to
-pupils in the primary schools. It provide both the central server,
-network boot servers and desktop environments with heaps of

-cash to fund developer gatherings and other project related activity,
-<a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">please
-donate some money</a>.
-
-<p>A topic that come up again and again on the Debian Edu mailing
-lists and elsewhere, is the question on how to transform a Debian or
-Ubuntu installation into a Debian Edu installation. It isn't very
-hard, and last week I wrote a script to replicate the steps done by
-the Debian Edu installer.</p>
-
-<p>The script,
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/branches/wheezy/debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/debian-edu-bless?view=markup">debian-edu-bless<a/>
-in the debian-edu-config package, will go through these six steps and
-transform an existing Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu (untested) installation
-into a Debian Edu Workstation:</p>
-
-<ol>
-
-<li>Add skolelinux related APT sources.</li>
-<li>Create /etc/debian-edu/config with the wanted configuration.</li>
-<li>Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in
- our configuration.</li>
-<li>Preseed debconf database with profile setup in
- /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages
- according to the profile specified in the config above,
- overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.</li>
-<li>Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything
- that could not be done using preseeding.</li>
-<li>Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.</li>
-
-</ol>
-
-<p>There are some steps in the Debian Edu installation that can not be
-replicated like this. Disk partitioning and LVM setup, for example.
-So this script just assume there is enough disk space to install all
-the needed packages.</p>
-
-<p>The script was created to help a Debian Edu student working on
-setting up <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry Pi</a> as a
-Debian Edu client, and using it he can take the existing
-<a href="http://www.raspbian.org/FrontPage">Raspbian</a> installation and
-transform it into a fully functioning Debian Edu Workstation (or
-Roaming Workstation, or whatever :).</p>
-
-<p>The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation.
-If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the
-PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-PROFILE="Roaming-Workstation"
-DESKTOP="lxde"
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>The script could even become useful to set up Debian Edu servers in
-the cloud, by starting with a virtual Debian installation at some
-virtual hosting service and setting up all the services on first
-boot.</p>

+today. This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~alpha3 released
+2013-07-03</strong></p>
+
+<p>These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~alpha3, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu, also known as
+Skolelinux</a>, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
+out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
+network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
+services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
+and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
+environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
+the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
+installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
+database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
+directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
+desktop contains
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html">more
+than 60 educational software packages</a> and more are available from
+the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
+and Xfce desktop environment.</p>
+
+<p>This is the fourth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
+this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
+Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Dropped ispell dictionaries from our default installation.</li>
+ <li>Dropped menu-xdg from the KDE desktop option, to drop the Debian
+ submenu. It was not included with Gnome, LXDE or Xfce, so this
+ brings KDE in line with the others.</li>
+ <li>Dropped xdrawchem, xjig and xsok from our default installation as
+ they don't have a desktop menu entry and thus won't show up in the
+ menu now that menu-xdg was removed.</li>
+ <li>Removed the killer system to kill left behind processes on
+ multi-user machines, as it was no longer able to understand when a
+ X display was in use and killed the processes of the active users
+ too.</li>
+ <li>Dropped the golearn (from goplay) package as the debtags in wheezy
+ are too few to make the package useful.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Updated artwork matching http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy
+ <li>Multi-arch i386/amd64 USB stick ISO available.</li>
+ <li>Got rid of ispell/wordlist related debconf questions that showed
+ up for some language options.</li>
+ <li>Switched to using http.debian.net as APT source by default.</li>
+ <li>Fixed proxy configuration on Main Server installations.</li>
+ <li>Changed LTSP setup to ask dpkg to use force-unsafe-io the same way
+ d-i is doing it.</li>
+ <li>Made sure root and user passwords were not left behind in the
+ debconf database after installation on Main Server installations.</li>
+ <li>Made Roaming Workstation dynamic setup more robust and added draft
+ script setup-ad-client to hook a Roaming Workstation up to a
+ Active Directory server instead of a Debian Edu Main Server.</li>
+ <li>Update system to install needed firmware packages during
+ installation, to work properly in Wheezy.</li>
+ <li>Update system to handle hardware quirks (debian-edu-hwsetup).</li>
+ <li>Corrected PXE installation setup to properly pass selected desktop
+ and keymap settings to PXE installation clients.</li>
+ <li>LTSP diskless workstations use sshfs by default, allowing them to
+ work without adding them to DNS and NIS netgroups for NFS access.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Known issues</strong></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
+ available yet (698840).</li>
+ <li>Artwork not enabled for all desktops.</li>
