+We have two problems blocking the release of the Wheezy version we
+hope to get released soon. The two problems require some with PHP
+skills, and we seem to lack anyone with both time and PHP skills in
+the project:
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>It is impossible to log into the slbackup web interface
+ (slbackup-php) using the root user and password. This is
+ <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/700257">BTS report #700257</a>.
+ This used to work, but stopped working some time since Squeeze.
+ Perhaps some obsolete PHP feature was used?</li>
+
+<li>It is not possible to "mass import" user lists in Gosa, neither
+ using ldif nor using CSV files. The feature was disabled after a
+ major rewrite of Gosa, and need to be ported to the new system.
+ This is <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698840">BTS report
+ #698840</a>.</li>

+ <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>
<ul>
-<li>Add desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ causing a program
-hw-support-handlerd to start when the user log in.</li>
+<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>This program listen for kernel events about new hardware (directly
-from the kernel like udev does), not using HAL dbus events as I
-initially did.</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/download/kali.html">kali</a>
+to discover symmetry groups (the so-called wallpapers and frieze
+groups), although the interface looks a bit old.</li>
-<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware modalias in
-the APT database, a database
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=markup">available
-via HTTP</a> and a database available as part of the package.</li>
+</ul>
-<li>If a package is mapped to the hardware in question, the package
-isn't installed yet and this is the first time the hardware was
-plugged in, show a desktop notification suggesting to install the
-package or packages.</li>
+<p>I like also
+<a href="http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/cantor">cantor</a>, which
+provides a uniform interface to SciLab, Sage,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Octave">Octave</a>, etc...</p>
+
+<p><strong>Which strategy do you believe is the right one to use to
+get schools to use free software?</strong></p>
-<li>If the user click on the 'install package now' button, ask
-aptdaemon via the PackageKit API to install the requrired package.</li>
+<p>My suggestions would be to</p>
-<li>aptdaemon ask for root password or sudo password, and install the
-package while showing progress information in a window.</li>
+<ul>
-</ul>
+<li>advertise the reduction of costs when free software is used.</li>
-<p>I still need to come up with a better name for the system. Here
-are some screen shots showing the prototype in action. First the
-notification, then the password request, and finally the request to
-approve all the dependencies. Sorry for the Norwegian Bokmål GUI.</p>
-
-<p><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-1-notification.png">
-<br><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-2-password.png">
-<br><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-3-dependencies.png">

-<br><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-21-hw-support-5-installing-details.png" width="70%"></p>
-
-<p>The prototype still need to be improved with longer timeouts, but
-is already useful. The database of hardware to package mappings also
-need more work. It is currently compatible with the Ubuntu way of
-storing such information in the package control file, but could be
-changed to use other formats instead or in addition to the current
-method. I've dropped the use of discover for this mapping, as the
-modalias approach is more flexible and easier to use on Linux as long
-as the Linux kernel expose its modalias strings directly.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-21 16:50</strong>: Due to popular demand,
-here is the command required to check out and build the source: Use
-'<tt>svn checkout
-svn://svn.debian.org/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/; cd
-hw-support-handler; debuild</tt>'. If you lack debuild, install the
-devscripts package.</p>
+<li>communicate about the quality of free software projects, using
+ well known examples like Firefox, ThunderBird and
+ OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.</li>
+
+<li>advertise the living and strong community around the project.</li>
+
+<li>show that it is not more difficult to use than any other
+ system.</li>
+
+</ul>

-going during Christmas, I moved the one year old SSD disk to my old
-X40 where it fitted (only one I had left that could use it), but it is
-not a durable solution.

+ <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>
+
+<p>For kun kort tid siden ble det annonsert at det blir et åpent møte
+med ledelsen hos universitetet i Oslo med disse planene som tema:</p>
+
+<p>Tid: <strong>Onsdag 2013-06-05 kl. 10:00</strong>
+<br>Sted: <strong>9. etasje i Lucy Smiths hus (admin-bygget)</strong></p>
+
+<p> Det kan være en god plass å stille opp hvis en som meg ikke tror
+valget av Microsoft Exchange som sentral epostinfrastruktur er et
+heldig valg for Norges ledende forskningsuniversitet, men at en er mer
+tjent med å selv
+<a href="http://nuug.no/dokumenter/kronikk-friprog-itsikkerhet.shtml">beholde
+kontrollen over egen infrastruktur</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Saken har ført til endel presseoppslag så langt. Her er de jeg har
+fått med meg:</p>
<ul>
-<li>Lightweight (around 1 kg) and small volume (preferably smaller
- than A4).</li>
-<li>Robust, it will be in my backpack every day.</li>
-<li>Three button mouse and a mouse pin instead of touch pad.</li>
-<li>Long battery life time. Preferable a week.</li>
-<li>Internal WIFI network card.</li>
-<li>Internal Twisted Pair network card.</li>
-<li>Some USB slots (2-3 is plenty)</li>
-<li>Good keyboard - similar to the Thinkpad.</li>
-<li>Video resolution at least 1024x768, with size around 12" (A4 paper
-size).</li>
-<li>Hardware supported by Debian Stable, ie the default kernel and
- X.org packages.</li>
-<li>Quiet, preferably fan free (or at least not using the fan most of
- the time).

-<p>You will notice that there are no RAM and CPU requirements in the
-list. The reason is simply that the specifications on laptops the
-last 10-15 years have been sufficient for my needs, and I have to look
-at other features to choose my laptop. But are there still made as
-robust laptops as my X41? The Thinkpad X60/X61 proved to be less
-robust, and Thinkpads seem to be heading in the wrong direction since
-Lenovo took over. But I've been told that X220 and X1 Carbon might
-still be useful.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps I should rethink my needs, and look for a pad with an
-external keyboard? I'll have to check the
-<a href="http://www.linux-laptop.net/">Linux Laptops site</a> for
-well-supported laptops, or perhaps just buy one preinstalled from one
-of the vendors listed on the <a href="http://linuxpreloaded.com/">Linux

- <div class="date">18th January 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Some times I try to figure out which Iceweasel browser plugin to
-install to get support for a given MIME type. Thanks to
-<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Plugins">specifications
-done by Ubuntu</a> and Mozilla, it is possible to do this in Debian.
-Unfortunately, not very many packages provide the needed meta
-information, Anyway, here is a small script to look up all browser
-plugin packages announcing ther MIME support using this specification:</p>
-
-<pre>
-#!/usr/bin/python
-import sys
-import apt
-def pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
- cache = apt.Cache()
- cache.open(None)
- thepkgs = []
- for pkg in cache:
- version = pkg.candidate
- if version is None:
- version = pkg.installed
- if version is None:
- continue
- record = version.record
- if not record.has_key('Npp-MimeType'):
- continue
- mime_types = record['Npp-MimeType'].split(',')
- for t in mime_types:
- t = t.rstrip().strip()
- if t == mimetype:
- thepkgs.append(pkg.name)
- return thepkgs
-mimetype = "audio/ogg"
-if 1 < len(sys.argv):
- mimetype = sys.argv[1]
-print "Browser plugin packages supporting %s:" % mimetype
-for pkg in pkgs_handling_mimetype(mimetype):
- print " %s" %pkg
-</pre>
-
-<p>It can be used like this to look up a given MIME type:</p>
-
-<pre>
-% ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype
-Browser plugin packages supporting audio/ogg:
- gecko-mediaplayer
-% ./apt-find-browserplug-for-mimetype application/x-shockwave-flash
-Browser plugin packages supporting application/x-shockwave-flash:
- browser-plugin-gnash
-%
-</pre>
-
-<p>In Ubuntu this mechanism is combined with support in the browser
-itself to query for plugins and propose to install the needed
-packages. It would be great if Debian supported such feature too. Is
-anyone working on adding it?</p>
-
-<p><strong>Update 2013-01-18 14:20</strong>: The Debian BTS
-request for icweasel support for this feature is
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/484010">#484010</a> from 2008 (and
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698426">#698426</a> from today). Lack
-of manpower and wish for a different design is the reason thus feature
-is not yet in iceweasel from Debian.</p>

- <div class="body"><p>The <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/AppStreamDebianProposal">DEP-11
-proposal to add AppStream information to the Debian archive</a>, is a
-proposal to make it possible for a Desktop application to propose to
-the user some package to install to gain support for a given MIME
-type, font, library etc. that is currently missing. With such
-mechanism in place, it would be possible for the desktop to
-automatically propose and install leocad if some LDraw file is
-downloaded by the browser.</p>
-
-<p>To get some idea about the current content of the archive, I decided
-to write a simple program to extract all .desktop files from the
-Debian archive and look up the claimed MIME support there. The result
-can be found on the
-<a href="http://ftp.skolelinux.org/pub/AppStreamTest">Skolelinux FTP
-site</a>. Using the collected information, it become possible to
-answer the question in the title. Here are the 20 most supported MIME
-types in Debian stable (Squeeze), testing (Wheezy) and unstable (Sid).

+ <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>

- <div class="date">15th January 2013</div>
- <div class="body"><p>Yesterday, I wrote about the
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Modalias_strings___a_practical_way_to_map__stuff__to_hardware.html">modalias
-values provided by the Linux kernel</a> following my hope for
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">better
-dongle support in Debian</a>. Using this knowledge, I have tested how
-modalias values attached to package names can be used to map packages
-to hardware. This allow the system to look up and suggest relevant
-packages when I plug in some new hardware into my machine, and replace
-discover and discover-data as the database used to map hardware to
-packages.</p>
-
-<p>I create a modaliases file with entries like the following,
-containing package name, kernel module name (if relevant, otherwise
-the package name) and globs matching the relevant hardware
-modalias.</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: package-name
-<br>Modaliases: module(modaliasglob, modaliasglob, modaliasglob)</p>
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>It is fairly trivial to write code to find the relevant packages
-for a given modalias value using this file.</p>

-cheese for many USB web cameras (interface bus class 0E01):</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: cheese
-<br>Modaliases: cheese(usb:v*p*d*dc*dsc*dp*ic0Eisc01ip*)</p>
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>An entry like this would suggest the pcmciautils package when a
-CardBus bridge (bus class 0607) PCI device is present:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: pcmciautils
-<br>Modaliases: pcmciautils(pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc06sc07i*)
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>An entry like this would suggest the package colorhug-client when
-plugging in a ColorHug with USB IDs 04D8:F8DA:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-Package: colorhug-client
-<br>Modaliases: colorhug-client(usb:v04D8pF8DAd*)</p>
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>I believe the format is compatible with the format of the Packages
-file in the Debian archive. Ubuntu already uses their Packages file
-to store their mappings from packages to hardware.</p>
-
-<p>By adding a XB-Modaliases: header in debian/control, any .deb can
-announce the hardware it support in a way my prototype understand.
-This allow those publishing packages in an APT source outside the
-Debian archive as well as those backporting packages to make sure the
-hardware mapping are included in the package meta information. I've
-tested such header in the pymissile package, and its modalias mapping
-is working as it should with my prototype. It even made it to Ubuntu
-Raring.</p>
-
-<p>To test if it was possible to look up supported hardware using only
-the shell tools available in the Debian installer, I wrote a shell
-implementation of the lookup code. The idea is to create files for
-each modalias and let the shell do the matching. Please check out and
-try the
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/hw-support-lookup?view=co">hw-support-lookup</a>
-shell script. It run without any extra dependencies and fetch the
-hardware mappings from the Debian archive and the subversion
-repository where I currently work on my prototype.</p>
-
-<p>When I use it on a machine with a yubikey inserted, it suggest to
-install yubikey-personalization:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-% ./hw-support-lookup
-<br>yubikey-personalization
-<br>%
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>When I run it on my Thinkpad X40 with a PCMCIA/CardBus slot, it
-propose to install the pcmciautils package:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-% ./hw-support-lookup
-<br>pcmciautils
-<br>%
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>If you know of any hardware-package mapping that should be added to
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/modaliases?view=co">my
-database</a>, please tell me about it.</p>
-
-<p>It could be possible to generate several of the mappings between
-packages and hardware. One source would be to look at packages with
-kernel modules, ie packages with *.ko files in /lib/modules/, and
-extract their modalias information. Another would be to look at
-packages with udev rules, ie packages with files in
-/lib/udev/rules.d/, and extract their vendor/model information to
-generate a modalias matching rule. I have not tested any of these to
-see if it work.</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help implementing a system to let us propose what
-packages to install when new hardware is plugged into a Debian
-machine, please send me an email or talk to me on

+ <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>

-
-<p>The modalias entries for a given Linux machine can be found using
-this shell script:</p>
-
-<pre>
-find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u
-</pre>
-
-<p>The supported modalias globs for a given kernel module can be found
-using modinfo:</p>
-
-<pre>
-% /sbin/modinfo psmouse | grep alias:
-alias: serio:ty05pr*id*ex*
-alias: serio:ty01pr*id*ex*
-%
-</pre>
-
-<p><strong>PCI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>A typical PCI entry can look like this. This is an Intel Host
-Bridge memory controller:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-pci:v00008086d00002770sv00001028sd000001ADbc06sc00i00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>This represent these values:</p>
-
-<pre>
- v 00008086 (vendor)
- d 00002770 (device)
- sv 00001028 (subvendor)
- sd 000001AD (subdevice)
- bc 06 (bus class)
- sc 00 (bus subclass)
- i 00 (interface)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The vendor/device values are the same values outputted from 'lspci
--n' as 8086:2770. The bus class/subclass is also shown by lspci as
-0600. The 0600 class is a host bridge. Other useful bus values are
-0300 (VGA compatible card) and 0200 (Ethernet controller).</p>
-
-<p>Not sure how to figure out the interface value, nor what it
-means.</p>
-
-<p><strong>USB subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>Some typical USB entries can look like this. This is an internal
-USB hub in a laptop:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-usb:v1D6Bp0001d0206dc09dsc00dp00ic09isc00ip00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Here is the values included in this alias:</p>
-
-<pre>
- v 1D6B (device vendor)
- p 0001 (device product)
- d 0206 (bcddevice)
- dc 09 (device class)
- dsc 00 (device subclass)
- dp 00 (device protocol)
- ic 09 (interface class)
- isc 00 (interface subclass)
- ip 00 (interface protocol)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The 0900 device class/subclass means hub. Some times the relevant
-class is in the interface class section. For a simple USB web camera,
-these alias entries show up:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc01ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic01isc02ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc01ip00
-<br>usb:v0AC8p3420d5000dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc02ip00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Interface class 0E01 is video control, 0E02 is video streaming (aka
-camera), 0101 is audio control device and 0102 is audio streaming (aka
-microphone). Thus this is a camera with microphone included.</p>
-
-<p><strong>ACPI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>The ACPI type is used for several non-PCI/USB stuff. This is an IR
-receiver in a Thinkpad X40:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-acpi:IBM0071:PNP0511:
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values between the colons are IDs.</p>
-
-<p><strong>DMI subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>The DMI table contain lots of information about the computer case
-and model. This is an entry for a IBM Thinkpad X40, fetched from
-/sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-dmi:bvnIBM:bvr1UETB6WW(1.66):bd06/15/2005:svnIBM:pn2371H4G:pvrThinkPadX40:rvnIBM:rn2371H4G:rvrNotAvailable:cvnIBM:ct10:cvrNotAvailable:
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values present are</p>
-
-<pre>
- bvn IBM (BIOS vendor)
- bvr 1UETB6WW(1.66) (BIOS version)
- bd 06/15/2005 (BIOS date)
- svn IBM (system vendor)
- pn 2371H4G (product name)
- pvr ThinkPadX40 (product version)
- rvn IBM (board vendor)
- rn 2371H4G (board name)
- rvr NotAvailable (board version)
- cvn IBM (chassis vendor)
- ct 10 (chassis type)
- cvr NotAvailable (chassis version)
-</pre>
-
-<p>The chassis type 10 is Notebook. Other interesting values can be
-found in the dmidecode source:</p>
-
-<pre>
- 3 Desktop
- 4 Low Profile Desktop
- 5 Pizza Box
- 6 Mini Tower
- 7 Tower
- 8 Portable
- 9 Laptop
- 10 Notebook
- 11 Hand Held
- 12 Docking Station
- 13 All In One
- 14 Sub Notebook
- 15 Space-saving
- 16 Lunch Box
- 17 Main Server Chassis
- 18 Expansion Chassis
- 19 Sub Chassis
- 20 Bus Expansion Chassis
- 21 Peripheral Chassis
- 22 RAID Chassis
- 23 Rack Mount Chassis
- 24 Sealed-case PC
- 25 Multi-system
- 26 CompactPCI
- 27 AdvancedTCA
- 28 Blade
- 29 Blade Enclosing
-</pre>
-
-<p>The chassis type values are not always accurately set in the DMI
-table. For example my home server is a tower, but the DMI modalias
-claim it is a desktop.</p>
-
-<p><strong>SerIO subtype</strong></p>
-
-<p>This type is used for PS/2 mouse plugs. One example is from my
-test machine:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-serio:ty01pr00id00ex00
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>The values present are</p>
-
-<pre>
- ty 01 (type)
- pr 00 (prototype)
- id 00 (id)
- ex 00 (extra)
-</pre>
-
-<p>This type is supported by the psmouse driver. I am not sure what
-the valid values are.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Other subtypes</strong></p>
-
-<p>There are heaps of other modalias subtypes according to
-file2alias.c. There is the rest of the list from that source: amba,
-ap, bcma, ccw, css, eisa, hid, i2c, ieee1394, input, ipack, isapnp,
-mdio, of, parisc, pcmcia, platform, scsi, sdio, spi, ssb, vio, virtio,
-vmbus, x86cpu and zorro. I did not spend time documenting all of
-these, as they do not seem relevant for my intended use with mapping
-hardware to packages when new stuff is inserted during run time.</p>
-
-<p><strong>Looking up kernel modules using modalias values</strong></p>
-
-<p>To check which kernel modules provide support for a given modalias,
-one can use the following shell script:</p>
-
-<pre>
- for id in $(find /sys -name modalias -print0 | xargs -0 cat | sort -u); do \
- echo "$id" ; \
- /sbin/modprobe --show-depends "$id"|sed 's/^/ /' ; \
- done
-</pre>
-
-<p>The output can look like this (only the first few entries as the
-list is very long on my test machine):</p>
-
-<pre>
- acpi:ACPI0003:
- insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/ac.ko

+ <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>

+
+<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>

- <div class="body"><p>One thing that annoys me with Debian and Linux distributions in
-general, is that there is a great package management system with the
-ability to automatically install software packages by downloading them
-from the distribution mirrors, but no way to get it to automatically
-install the packages I need to use the hardware I plug into my
-machine. Even if the package to use it is easily available from the
-Linux distribution. When I plug in a LEGO Mindstorms NXT, it could
-suggest to automatically install the python-nxt, nbc and t2n packages
-I need to talk to it. When I plug in a Yubikey, it could propose the

+ <div class="date">14th May 2013</div>
+ <div class="body"><p>The <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+project</a> is making great progress and made its second Wheezy based
+release today. This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha1 released
+2013-05-14</strong></p>
+
+<p>This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.0.0 edu
+alpha1, based on <a href="http://www.debian.org">Debian</a> with
+codename "Wheezy".</p>
+
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
+
+<p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
+on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
+configured school network. Immediatly 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.</p>
+
+<p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
+not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
+version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Install freemind (0.9.0) by default, and stop installing vym by
+ default.</li>
+ <li>Install chromium (26.0.1410.43) by default.</li>
+ <li>Install goplay (0.5-1.1) to make golearn available by default.</li>
+ <li>Updated support for Japanese input methods, now based on
+ ibus-anthy.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>
<ul>
-<li>Add a desktop entry in /usr/share/autostart/ pointing to a program
- starting when a user log in.</li>
+ <li>Switched default file system from ext3 to ext4 for speed and
+ reliability improvements.</li>
+ <li>Got rid of unwanted winbind daemon and PAM setup activated because
+ of <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/706434">706434</a>.</li>
+ <li>Extended and improved the testsuite tests to detect more possible
+ problems.</li>
+ <li>Corrected proxy handling to not set http_proxy to a bogus
+ direct:// URL.</li>
+ <li>Corrected proxy setup for diskless workstations.</li>
+ <li>Corrected PXE setup to use our updated udebs during installation.</li>
+ <li>Made installation handling of low entropy level more robust.</li>
+ <li>Create larger partitions for Roaming workstations and Thin client
+ servers, to make room for all the software installed.</li>
+ <li>Fix bug in Roaming workstation PAM setup, making it impossible to
+ log in (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/706753">706753</a>).</li>
+</ul>
-<li>Set this program up to listen for kernel events emitted when new
- hardware is inserted into the computer.</li>
+<p><strong>Known issues</strong></p>
+<ul>
-<li>When new hardware is inserted, look up the hardware ID in a
- database mapping to packages, and take note of any non-installed
- packages.</li>
+ <li>IP resolution for the local hostname give useless IPv6 address
+ (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/705900">705900</a>). Only install
+ libnss-myhostname on roaming workstations until it is fixed.</li>
+ <li>DVD images are not yet ready.</li>
+ <li>No mass import of user account data in GOsa (ldif or csv)
+ available yet (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/698840">698840</a>).</li>
+ <li>Missing artwork for the KDE desktop (and probably a few others).</li>
+ <li>KDE Debian submenu lacks icons.</li>
+ <li>LXDE menu lacks entry for changing GOsa password
+ (website). Installing gosa-desktop will be an option.</li>
+ <li>Backup configuration via web interface is impossible due to
+ password submission problem
+ (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/700257">700257</a>).</li>
-<li>Show a message to the user proposing to install the discovered
- package, and make it easy to install it.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><strong>Where to get it</strong></p>
+
+<p>To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use</p>
+<ul>
+
+ <li><a href="ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu~7.0+edu0~a1-CD.iso">ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu~7.0+edu0~a1-CD.iso</a></li>

</ul>
-<p>I am not sure what the best way to implement this is, but my
-initial idea was to use dbus events to discover new hardware, the
-discover database to find packages and
-<a href="http://www.packagekit.org/">PackageKit</a> to install
-packages.</p>
-
-<p>Yesterday, I found time to try to implement this idea, and the
-draft package is now checked into
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/">the
-Debian Edu subversion repository</a>. In the process, I updated the
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover-data.html">discover-data</a>
-package to map the USB ids of LEGO Mindstorms and Yubikey devices to
-the relevant packages in Debian, and uploaded a new version
-2.2013.01.09 to unstable. I also discovered that the current
-<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/discover.html">discover</a>
-package in Debian no longer discovered any USB devices, because
-/proc/bus/usb/devices is no longer present. I ported it to use
-libusb as a fall back option to get it working. The fixed package
-version 2.1.2-6 is now in experimental (didn't upload it to unstable
-because of the freeze).</p>
-
-<p>With this prototype in place, I can insert my Yubikey, and get this
-desktop notification to show up (only once, the first time it is
-inserted):</p>
-
-<p align="center"><img src="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2013-01-09-hw-autoinstall.png"></p>
-
-<p>For this prototype to be really useful, some way to automatically
-install the proposed packages by pressing the "Please install
-program(s)" button should to be implemented.</p>
-
-<p>If this idea seem useful to you, and you want to help make it
-happen, please help me update the discover-data database with mappings
-from hardware to Debian packages. Check if 'discover-pkginstall -l'
-list the package you would like to have installed when a given
-hardware device is inserted into your computer, and report bugs using
-reportbug if it isn't. Or, if you know of a better way to provide
-such mapping, please let me know.</p>
-
-<p>This prototype need more work, and there are several questions that
-should be considered before it is ready for production use. Is dbus
-the correct way to detect new hardware? At the moment I look for HAL
-dbus events on the system bus, because that is the events I could see
-on my Debian Squeeze KDE desktop. Are there better events to use?
-How should the user be notified? Is the desktop notification
-mechanism the best option, or should the background daemon raise a
-popup instead? How should packages be installed? When should they
-not be installed?</p>
-
-<p>If you want to help getting such feature implemented in Debian,
-please send me an email. :)</p>
