-<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>

+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 sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
+is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze

+
+<p>ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
+versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
+release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
+deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
+gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html">on
+the mailing list</a>. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
+replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
+hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
+need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
+CIFS access to their home directory.</p>

+      <div class="date">18th August 2013</div>
+      <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
+saw no point in linking to that version.</p>

-      <div class="body"><p>When I woke up this morning, I was very happy to see that the
-<a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130504">release announcement
-for Debian Wheezy</a> was waiting in my mail box.  This is a great
-Debian release, and I expect to move my machines at home over to it fairly
-soon.</p>
-
-<p>The new debian release contain heaps of new stuff, and one program
-in particular make me very happy to see included.  The
-<a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/">Scratch</a> program, made famous by
-the <a href="http://www.code.org/">Teach kids code</a> movement, is
-included for the first time.  Alongside similar programs like
-<a href="http://edu.kde.org/kturtle/">kturtle</a> and
-<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Turtle_Art">turtleart</a>,
-it allow for visual programming where syntax errors can not happen,
-and a friendly programming environment for learning to control the
-computer.  Scratch will also be included in the next release of Debian
-Edu.</a>
-
-<p>And now that Wheezy is wrapped up, we can wrap up the next Debian
-Edu/Skolelinux release too.  The
-<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/04/msg00132.html">first
-alpha release</a> went out last week, and the next should soon
-follow.<p>

-
-<p><strong>Beskrivelse:</strong><p>
-
-<p><em>Idéen</em>
-
-<p>Gjøre det enklere å finne en tannlege som er praktisk for deg, der
-pris og reisetid med kollektivt, til fots eller med bil er tatt med i
-beregningen, ved å oppgi hvor en bor og jobber, og få forslag til
-tannleger både i nærheten og på veien mellom disse stedene.</p>
-
-<p>Brukeren oppgir hjemmeadresse og jobbadresse, og kanskje også
-barnehage. Så kan en også oppgi egen timelønn (for å beregne taps
-arbeidsfortjeneste) og om en reiser med kollektivt, til fots eller
-kjører bil. Så trykker en søk, og får opp en todelt side med kart og
-tekstliste. I kartdelen vises aktuelle tannleger (for eksempel maks
-7), og i tekstdelen er de samme tannlegene listet opp, med pris og
-reisetid for kollektivtransport, og pris pluss reisekostnad hvis en
-reiser med bil. En kan endre sorteringsrekkefølge for listen ved å
-trykke på aktuell kolonne, og velge om en skal sortere på pris,
-reisetid eller totalkostnad. Kun tannleger som tar imot nye kunder tas
-i utganspunktet med i listen. Når brukeren trykker med musa en
-tannlegemarkør på kartet kommer det en popup med detaljer om
-tannlegen, den samme informasjonen som finnes i listen under kartet,
-og lenke til mer informasjon om tannlegen.</p>
-
-<p>For hvert enkelt tannlegekontor er det tilgjengelig en
-informasjonsside med adresse, hjemmesideurl, telefonnummer, lenke til
-side for å finne reisebeskrivelse, åpningstider, etc.</p>
-
-<p><em>Nytteverdi for brukeren</em></p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>sparer tid på tannlegebesøk</li>
-<li>kan utnytte normal reisevei mellom hjem/jobb/barnehage</li>
-<li>kan finne aktuell tannlege basert på flere kriterier</li>
-<li>sile bort tannleger som ikke tar imot flere kunder</li>
-<li>får kart som viser tannleger i nærheten, på tvers av kommunegrenser</li>

-<p><em>Grad av innovasjon, nytenkning og kreativitet</em></p>
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b0 released
+2013-07-27</strong></p>

 
 

-<p>Enkel tjeneste som fokuserer på det vi selv mener er relevant ved valg
-av tannlege.</p>
+<p>These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~b0, based on Debian with codename "Wheezy".</p>

 
 

-<p>Tjenestekonseptet kan også brukes til andre næringer, f.eks. lege,
-butikk, leiebiler, hvis en har aktuell datakilde å koble med.</p>
+<p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>

 
 

-<p>Skulle gjerne hatt med vurdering av tannlegene tilgjengelig, slik
-at en kunne finne "flinke" tannleger basert på et eller annet
-kriterium.</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><em>Markedspotensiale - potensiale for å slå gjennom hos mange
-brukere</em></p>
+<p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>

 
 <ul>
 
 <ul>

-<li>Alle som ønsker eller vurderer å skaffe seg ny tannlege, f.eks. nyinnflyttede og studenter</li>
-<li>Familier med en travel hverdag</li>
-</ul>

 
 

-<p>Felles er at den gjør tannlegen lettere tilgjengelig for de som vil spare tid eller penger.</p>
+<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>

 
 

-<p><em>Samfunnsøkonomisk nytte - bidrar til å løse
-samfunnsutfordringer</em></p>
+</ul>

 
 

-<p>Kutter tid brukt på tannlegebesøk, og penger frigjøres som kan brukes på andre områder. Oppfordrer til bedre bruk av kollektivtransport ved å gi tips om tannleger i nærheten av allerede brukt reisevei mellom hjemme og jobb når en reiser kollektivt.</p>
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>

 
 

-<p><em>X-faktor - “Det lille ekstra...”</em></p>
+<ul>

 
 

-<p>Denne tjenesten gir det lille ekstra ved at den ikke slår opp
-avstand til tannlege fra et enkelt punkt men avstand fra en reisevei,
-slik at en får flere tannleger å velge imellom og kanskje kan spare
-enda mer tid og penger enn en ville gjort ved å sjekke kun de nærmest
-hjemme eller jobb.</p>
+<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>

 
 

-<p>Tjenesten gir informasjonen både som kart og som tekstlig oversikt, for å sikre at blinde og svaksynte kan få tilgang til informasjonen selv om de ikke får brukt kartvisningen.</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>

+<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="date">22nd April 2013</div>
-      <div class="body"><p><a href="http://bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a> er mye i mediene for
-tiden.  Jeg følger med via Mylder for å finne
-<a href="http://mylder.no/?drill=bitcoin">artikler som omtaler
-temaet</a>, og takket være dette oppdaget jeg at stortingsrepresentant
-Ketil Solvik-Olsen fra FrP nylig har spurt finansminister Sigbjørn
-Johnsen om hans syn på Bitcoin, og
-<a href="http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Sporsmal/Skriftlige-sporsmal-og-svar/Skriftlig-sporsmal/?qid=57052">fått
-svar for noen dager siden</a>.  Jeg bet meg spesielt merke til
-følgende formulering fra finansministeren:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«Det er også utfordringer ved at handel med Bitcoins er uregulert og
-at transaksjonene er anonyme.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>At Bitcoin er anonymt er en myte som spres av både journalister og
-andre, så det er ikke veldig overraskende at også finansministeren har
-gått på limpinnen.  Det er dog litt rart, da jeg håper at
-finansdepartementet ikke baserer seg på rykter og myter når de
-besvarer Stortinget.  Men du trenger ikke bare tro på meg som kilde
-til påstanden om at Bitcoin ikke er anonymt.  Sondre Rønjom har
-<a href="http://blogg.nsm.stat.no/archives/3241">via Sikkerhetsbloggen
-hos Nasjonal Sikkerhetsmyndighet</a> uttalt følgende:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«At [bitcoin] i utgangspunktet
-<a href="http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.4524"><em>ikke</em> er anonymt</a>,
-kommer kanskje som en overraskelse på mange.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Enhver bevegelse av Bitcoin er offentlig tilgjengelig for alle på
-Internet, og en må legge svært mye innsats inn hvis en skal hindre at
-nettverksanalyse av transaksjonsloggene kan brukes til å identifisere
-brukerne.  F.eks. kan en enkelt se hva jeg har mottatt til min
-offentliggjorte mottaksadresse ved å besøke blockexplorer og slå opp
-adressen
-<a href="http://blockexplorer.com/address/15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a>.
-Det virker dermed på meg ganske klart at å påstå at
-Bitcoin-transaksjoner er anonyme strengt tatt er å føre Stortinget bak
-lyset.</p>
-
-<p>Finansministeren er ikke den eneste som har latt seg forlede av
-medieomtalen.  I spørsmålet fra Hr. Solvik-Olsen skriver han at «For
-noen dager siden kom den første bitcoin-minibanken på Kypros», hvilket
-så vidt jeg har klart å finne ut ikke er riktig.  Det er annonsert
-planer om en slik minibank (fra
-<a href="http://www.bitcoinatm.com/">BitcoinATM</a>), men jeg finner
-intet tegn til at en slik minibank er utplassert noe sted.</p>
-
-<p>Som vanlig, hvis du bruker Bitcoin og ønsker å vise din støtte til
-mine aktiviteter, så setter jeg pris på Bitcoin-donasjoner til min
-adresse

+      <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>

+      <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>

+<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>
 </ul>

-
-<p>Det bør nevnes at da jeg ble nektet innsyn hos mottaker
-Fornyingsdepartementet på høringsoppsummeringen som DIFI hadde sendt
-ut, spurte jeg DIFI om innsyn i stedet.  Det fikk jeg i løpet av et
-par dager.  Moralen er at hvis ikke mottaker ikke vil gi innsyn, spør
-avsender i stedet.  Kanskje de har forskjellig forståelse av hva som
-bør holdes skjult for folket.  Her er de tilsvarende dokumentene jeg
-fikk innsyn i fra DIFI:</p>
-
+<p><strong>Other changes</strong></p>

 <ul>
 <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

+  <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>

-høringsoppsummeringen ikke tar stilling til effekten av å fjerne ODF
-fra katalogen.</p>

-      <div class="date"> 7th April 2013</div>
-      <div class="body"><p>For en stund tilbake gikk nyheten om
-<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Island,_New_Caledonia">Sandy
-Island</a>, en øy som var dukket opp på noen kart, men som ikke var
-synlig når en sjekket den på satellittbilder.  Dagbladet meldte for
-eksempel at
-«<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/11/22/nyheter/google_maps/google/utenriks/internett/24496816/">denne
-øya finnes på kart, men ikke i virkeligheten</a>».  Noe senere begynte
-jeg å lese
-<a href="http://www.gyldendal.no/Barn-og-ungdom/3-6-aar/Den-store-Ruffen-boken">historier
-om Ruffen</a> til mine barn. Dette er historier om sjøormen Ruffen
-skapt av Tor Åge Bringsværd, som starter med følgende beskrivelse:</p>
-
-<p><blockquote>
-«Langt ute i havet ligger en mystisk øy. Den er bare synlig hver
-tirsdag og fredag. Derfor står den ikke på noe kart. På denne øya
-ligger et slott, og i slottet bor en gammel, fin sjøormfamilie.»
-</blockquote></p>
-
-<p>Det virker åpenbart at Hr. Bringsværd tok feil når han trodde den
-ikke var på noe kart, og at noen tydeligvis har vært i nærheten en
-tirsdag eller en fredag og fått den med på et kart, mens
-satellittbildene er tatt på noen av de fem andre dagene i uka og
-dermed ikke ser øya. :)</p>
-
-<p>I følge
-<a href="http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/12/03/nyheter/sandy_island/forskning/utenriks/24662158/">en
-senere artikkel i Dagbladet</a> hevder Shaun Higgins, en forsker fra
-New Zealand, at et hvalfangstskip fra 1876 er opprinnelsen til at
-spøkelsesøya i det hele tatt havnet på kartet.  Det fremgår ikke fra
-historien hvilken ukedag de var innom.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg har stor sans for Tor Åge Bringsværd.  Og han viste nylig en
-svært fin side av seg selv da han sa ja til EFNs forespørsel om å gi
-ut novellen <a href="http://www.efn.no/kodemus/">Kodémus</a> med
-Creative Commons-lisens.</p>
