+      <div class="date">10th September 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>I was introduced to the
+<a href="http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/">Freedombox project</a>
+in 2010, when Eben Moglen presented his vision about serving the need
+of non-technical people to keep their personal information private and
+within the legal protection of their own homes.  The idea is to give
+people back the power over their network and machines, and return
+Internet back to its intended peer-to-peer architecture.  Instead of
+depending on a central service, the Freedombox will give everyone
+control over their own basic infrastructure.</p>
+
+<p>I've intended to join the effort since then, but other tasks have
+taken priority.  But this summers nasty news about the misuse of trust
+and privilege exercised by the "western" intelligence gathering
+communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I
+actually started working on the project a while back.</p>
+
+<p>The <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/freedombox/">initial
+Debian initiative</a> based on the vision from Eben Moglen, is to
+create a simple and cheap Debian based appliance that anyone can hook
+up in their home and get access to secure and private services and
+communication.  The initial deployment platform have been the
+<a href="http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx">Dreamplug</a>,
+which is a piece of hardware I do not own.  So to be able to test what
+the current Freedombox setup, I had to come up with a way to install
+it on some hardware I do got access to.  I have rewritten the
+<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker">freedom-maker</a>
+image build framework to use .deb packages instead of only copying
+setup into the boot images, and thanks to this rewrite I am able to
+set up any machine supported by Debian Wheezy as a Freedombox, using
+the previously mentioned deb (and a few support debs for packages
+missing in Debian).</p>
+
+<p>The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping
+scripts
+(<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/freedombox-setup">freedombox-setup</a>),
+and a administrative web interface
+(<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/Plinth">plinth</a> + exmachina +
+withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on
+<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy">privoxy</a>
+(freedombox-privoxy).  There is also a web/javascript based XMPP
+client (<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/jwchat">jwchat</a>)
+trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server
+(<a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/ejabberd">ejabberd</a>).  The
+web interface is pluggable, and the goal is to use it to enable OpenID
+services, mesh network connectivity, use of TOR, etc, etc.  Not much of
+this is really working yet, see
+<a href="https://github.com/NickDaly/freedombox-todos/blob/master/TODO">the
+project TODO</a> for links to GIT repositories.  Most of the code is
+on github at the moment.  The HTTP proxy is operational out of the
+box, and the admin web interface can be used to add/remove plinth
+users.  I've not been able to do anything else with it so far, but
+know there are several branches spread around github and other places
+with lots of half baked features.</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current stat, the
+following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke
+at.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Debian Wheezy amd64</strong></p>
 
 <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>Fetch normal Debian Wheezy installation ISO.</li>
+<li>Boot from it, either as CD or USB stick.</li>
+<li><p>Press [tab] on the boot prompt and add this as a boot argument
+to the Debian installer:<p>
+<pre>url=<a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat</a></pre></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>
+<li>Answer the few language/region/password questions and pick disk to
+install on.</li>
+
+<li>When the installation is finished and the machine have rebooted a
+few times, your Freedombox is ready for testing.</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Raspberry Pi Raspbian</strong></p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card.</li>
+<li>Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely.</li>
+<li><p>Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:</p>
+<pre>
+deb <a href="http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/">http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox</a> wheezy main
+</pre></li>
+<li><p>Run this as root:</p>
+<pre>
+wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \
+   apt-key add -
+apt-get update
+apt-get install freedombox-setup
+/usr/lib/freedombox/setup
+</pre></li>
+<li>Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox.</li>
 
 </ol>
 
-<p>If you can help us, please join us on IRC
-(<ahref="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-edu">#debian-edu on
-irc.debian.org</a>) and provide patches via the BTS.</p>
+<p>You can test it on other architectures too, but because the
+freedombox-privoxy package is binary, it will only work as intended on
+the architectures where I have had time to build the binary and put it
+in my APT repository.  But do not let this stop you.  It is only a
+short "<tt>apt-get source -b freedombox-privoxy</tt>" away. :)</p>
+
+<p>Note that by default Freedombox is a DHCP server on the
+192.168.1.0/24 subnet, so if this is your subnet be careful and turn
+off the DHCP server by running "<tt>update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server
+disable</tt>" as root.</p>
+
+<p>Please let me know if this work for you, or if you have any
+problems.  We gather on the IRC channel
+<a href="irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox">#freedombox</a> on
+irc.debian.org and the
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss">project
+mailing list</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit
+<tt>http://your-host-name:8001/</tt> to see the state of the plint
+welcome screen (dead end - do not be surprised if you are unable to
+get past it), and next visit <tt>http://your-host-name:8001/help/</tt>
+to look at the rest of plinth.  The default user is 'admin' and the
+default password is 'secret'.</p>

-      <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"> 8th September 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
+Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
+folk.  Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
+år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
+snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen.  Det skal også
+registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
+til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte.  Saken er kjent som
+<a href="http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet">Datalagringsdirektivet
+(DLD)</a>, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges
+grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt.  Det ble i praksis innført brev og
+besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen.  Rapporter fra de landene som
+allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
+kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
+kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.  Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
+millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
+arbeide.  Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
+på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.
+Se mer på
+<a href="http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet">Wikipedia</a>
+og <a href="http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84">Jon Wessel-Aas</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje?  Et åpenbart problem er at
+medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut.  Den innsamlede
+informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med
+journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten
+av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon.  Et annet er at
+advokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem
+som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat.
+Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke
+nettsteder en har besøkt.  Har en besøkt hivnorge.no,
+swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede
+interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være
+tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.</p>
+
+<p>De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for.  Høyre og
+Arbeiderpartiet.  Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
+DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
+fylkene).  Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
+partiene.  Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med

-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>
-

-<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

+      <div class="date">22nd August 2013</div>
+      <div class="body"><p>The second wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
+today, slightly delayed because of some bugs in the initial Windows
+integration fixes .  This is the release announcement:</p>
+
+<p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b1 released 2013-08-22</strong></p>
+
+<p>These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
+7.1+edu0~b1, 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 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 sixth 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. 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">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">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="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">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>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="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>

+and

+are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but

 <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>

+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>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>
+
+<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>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>
+<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>

+      <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>Set up cryptsetup to pass TRIM commands to the physical disk
+    (adding discard to /etc/crypttab)</li>
+
+<li>Set up LVM to pass on TRIM commands to the underlying device (in
+    this case a cryptsetup partition) by changing issue_discards from
+    0 to 1 in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.</li>
+
+<li>Set relatime as a file system option for ext3 and ext4 file
+    systems.</li>
+
+<li>Tell swap to use TRIM commands by adding 'discard' to
+    /etc/fstab.</li>
+
+<li>Change I/O scheduler from cfq to deadline using a udev rule.</li>
+
+<li>Run fstrim on every ext3 and ext4 file system every night (from
+    cron.daily).</li>
+
+<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"> 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>
