  24       <div class="date"> 3rd June 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Jeg jobber til daglig ved <a href="http://www.uio.no/">Universitetet
  26 i Oslo</a>, en institusjon som lenge har vektlagt verdien av åpne
  27 standarder og fri programvare.  Men noe har endret seg, og for en
  28 liten stund tilbake annonserte USIT at dagens fungerende e-postsystemet
  29 basert på fri programvare skulle byttes ut med Microsoft Exchange og
  30 at Microsoft Outlook skulle bli den best fungerende men antagelig ikke
  31 eneste støttede e-postklienten.  Annonseringen har ført til flere
  32 protester og <a href="http://folk.uio.no/dssantos/nooutlookatuio/">en
  33 underskriftskampanje</a>, initiert av Diana Santos, der så langt 253
  34 personer har signert.  Prosjektet
  35 <a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike/">NIKE (Ny integrert
  36 kalender/e-post)</a> ble initiert for å se på mulige løsninger med
  37 utgangspunkt i at en kombinert epost/kalenderløsning var påkrevd, og
  38 prosjektet
  39 <a href="http://www.usit.uio.no/prosjekter/nike-implementasjon/">NIKE-implementasjon</a>
  40 er igang med å rulle ut MS Exchange ved Universitetet i Oslo.</p>
  41
  42 <p>For kun kort tid siden ble det annonsert at det blir et åpent møte
  43 med ledelsen hos universitetet i Oslo med disse planene som tema:</p>
  44
  45 <p>Tid: <strong>Onsdag 2013-06-05 kl. 10:00</strong>
  46 <br>Sted: <strong>9. etasje i Lucy Smiths hus (admin-bygget)</strong></p>
  47
  48 <p> Det kan være en god plass å stille opp hvis en som meg ikke tror
  49 valget av Microsoft Exchange som sentral epostinfrastruktur er et
  50 heldig valg for Norges ledende forskningsuniversitet, men at en er mer
  51 tjent med å selv
  52 <a href="http://nuug.no/dokumenter/kronikk-friprog-itsikkerhet.shtml">beholde
  53 kontrollen over egen infrastruktur</a>.</p>
  54
  55 <p>Saken har ført til endel presseoppslag så langt.  Her er de jeg har
  56 fått med meg:</p>

 237       <div class="date">27th May 2013</div>
 238       <div class="body"><p>Two days ago, I asked
 239 <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
 240 I could install Linux on a Packard Bell EasyNote LV computer
 241 preinstalled with Windows 8</a>.  I found a solution, but am horrified
 242 with the obstacles put in the way of Linux users on a laptop with UEFI
 243 and Windows 8.</p>
 244
 245 <p>I never found out if the cause of my problems were the use of UEFI
 246 secure booting or fast boot.  I suspect fast boot was the problem,
 247 causing the firmware to boot directly from HD without considering any
 248 key presses and alternative devices, but do not know UEFI settings
 249 enough to tell.</p>
 250
 251 <p>There is no way to install Linux on the machine in question without
 252 opening the box and disconnecting the hard drive!  This is as far as I
 253 can tell, the only way to get access to the firmware setup menu
 254 without accepting the Windows 8 license agreement.  I am told (and
 255 found description on how to) that it is possible to configure the
 256 firmware setup once booted into Windows 8.  But as I believe the terms
 257 of that agreement are completely unacceptable, accepting the license
 258 was never an alternative.  I do not enter agreements I do not intend
 259 to follow.</p>
 260
 261 <p>I feared I had to return the laptops and ask for a refund, and
 262 waste many hours on this, but luckily there was a way to get it to
 263 work.  But I would not recommend it to anyone planning to run Linux on
 264 it, and I have become sceptical to Windows 8 certified laptops.  Is
 265 this the way Linux will be forced out of the market place, by making
 266 it close to impossible for "normal" users to install Linux without
 267 accepting the Microsoft Windows license terms?  Or at least not
 268 without risking to loose the warranty?</p>
 269
 270 <p>I've updated the
 271 <a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Linux Laptop
 272 wiki page for Packard Bell EasyNote LV</a>, to ensure the next person
 273 do not have to struggle as much as I did to get Linux into the
 274 machine.</p>

 291       <div class="date">25th May 2013</div>
 292       <div class="body"><p>I've run into quite a problem the last few days.  I bought three
 293 new laptops for my parents and a few others.  I bought Packard Bell
 294 Easynote LV to run Kubuntu on and use as their home computer.  But I
 295 am completely unable to figure out how to install Linux on it.  The
 296 computer is preinstalled with Windows 8, and I suspect it uses UEFI
 297 instead of a BIOS to boot.</p>
 298
 299 <p>The problem is that I am unable to get it to PXE boot, and unable
 300 to get it to boot the Linux installer from my USB stick.  I have yet
 301 to try the DVD install, and still hope it will work.  when I turn on
 302 the computer, there is no information on what buttons to press to get
 303 the normal boot menu.  I expect to get some boot menu to select PXE or
 304 USB stick booting.  When booting, it first ask for the language to
 305 use, then for some regional settings, and finally if I will accept the
 306 Windows 8 terms of use.  As these terms are completely unacceptable to
 307 me, I have no other choice but to turn off the computer and try again
 308 to get it to boot the Linux installer.</p>
 309
 310 <p>I have gathered my findings so far on a Linlap page about the
 311 <a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
 312 EasyNote LV</a> model.  If you have any idea how to get Linux
 313 installed on this machine, please get in touch or update that wiki
 314 page.  If I can't find a way to install Linux, I will have to return
 315 the laptop to the seller and find another machine for my parents.</p>
 316
 317 <p>I wonder, is this the way Linux will be forced out of the market
 318 using UEFI and "secure boot" by making it impossible to install Linux
 319 on new Laptops?</p>

 333       <div class="date">24th May 2013</div>
 334       <div class="body"><p>En ting
 335 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux-prosjektet</a> har
 336 hatt mye glede av er studentprosjekter.  F.eks.  er
 337 <a href="http://linuxstopmotion.org/">stillbildeanimasjonssystemet
 338 Stopmotion</a> resultat av et studentprosjekt i Skolelinux.  De siste
 339 månedene har en ivrig student veiledet av Marius Kotsbak i
 340 <a href="http://www.friprogramvareiskolen.no/">FRiSK</a> testet hva en
 341 kan få til med en datamaskin til NOK 400,- (antagelig 1700,- med
 342 skjerm, tastatur og mus) når det brukes i Skolelinux.  Jeg spurte han
 343 om et intervju.</p>
 344
 345 <p><strong>Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?</strong></p>
 346
 347 <p>Jeg heter Nirosan Thiyagalingam. Jeg er 24 år og studerer
 348 dataingeniør studiet ved Høgskolen i Sør Trøndelag. Interessen for
 349 data har siden ung alder vært tilstede og jeg har i tillegg alltid
 350 vært glad i å lære nye ting. Med teknologi som endres svært hurtig er
 351 det alltid noe nytt å lære.  Noe som igjen har gjort det svært
 352 interessant å følge med på utviklingen.  Jeg valgte dataingeniør
 353 studiet grunnet ønske om å lære enda mer om programmering og utvikling
 354 av store systemer.</p>
 355
 356 <p><strong>Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?</strong></p>
 357
 358 <p>Skolelinux prosjektet hørte jeg først om i media. Men det var først
 359 når jeg skulle velge bacheloroppgave at jeg fattet mer interesse for
 360 prosjektet. Et enkelt søk på nettet førte meg til skolelinux sine
 361 hjemmesider.  Informasjonen jeg fant der gjorde meg enda nysgjerrig og
 362 jeg valgte derfor en oppgave som gikk ut på å få en
 363 <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry PI</a>.  Altså en
 364 ultra-billig datamaskin til å kjøre Debian Edu på lik linje med
 365 vanlige datamaskiner. I løpet av prosjektet ble det gjort mye
 366 forskning på nettet. Det var mye jeg måtte forstå rundt hvordan
 367 operativsystemet Linux fungerte før jeg kunne angripe
 368 problemet. Prøvde først å finne ut hvordan man kunne transformere en
 369 vanlig installasjon av Skolelinux til Raspberry PI, men dette var
 370 altfor vanskelig å jeg endte opp med mer spørsmål enn svar. Det ble
 371 videre opprettet kontakt med Skolelinux utviklere på IRC der jeg fikk
 372 diskutert hvilken retning jeg burde gå for å få til en fullverdig
 373 løsning. Det ble bestemt at jeg skulle gå for å først installere
 374 <a href="http://www.raspbian.org/">Raspian</a>. Dette er et
 375 operativsystem basert på Debian spesiallaget for Raspberry Pi sin
 376 maskinvare. Nå som Debian var installert på datamaskinen gjenstod det
 377 å installere de nødvendige Skolelinux pakkene for å få til et
 378 fullverdig system. Disse pakkene ble installert manuelt i første
 379 omgang, men ble senere installert automatisk via et script som Petter
 380 Reinholdtsen laget. Dette scriptet er så enkel å bruke at man er i
 381 gang med installasjonen i løpet av bare 5 minutter. Ikke nok med det,
 382 alt skjer helt automatisk. Alt i alt er jeg veldig fornøyd med
 383 resultatet av installasjonsprosessen. Raspberry Pi er en veldig svak
 384 maskin og det merkes godt når man har installert Skolelinux på
 385 den. Video og 3D-rendering fungerer utrolig dårlig, men nettsurfing og
 386 kontorprogrammer fungerer godt.  Det kan derfor konkluderes med at
 387 datamaskinen er egnet for enkle oppgaver.
 388
 389 <p>Jeg syns det er viktig påpeke at dette kun er startfasen av en slik
 390 løsning. På markedet finnes det nå maskiner som har bedre hardware enn
 391 Raspberry Pi. Det er store muligheter for at man kan klare å
 392 installere Skolelinux på disse også, og da forsvinner nok mest
 393 sannsynlig ytelsesproblemene med Video og 3D rendering også.</p>
 394
 395 <p>Det ble også prøvd med en løsning som gjorde at Raspberry Pi
 396 fungerte som en tynnklient. Denne løsningen hadde langt bedre ytelse
 397 med tanke på hastighet og brukeropplevelse. Men også her var video og
 398 3D rendering dårlig. Det ble brukt en liten Linux distribusjon kalt
 399 <a href="http://www.berryterminal.com/">BerryTerminal</a> for å få til
 400 dette.</p>
 401
 402 <p><strong>Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 403
 404 <p>Fordelen med Skolelinux er mange. At det er gratis er en stor
 405 fordel, men at det er så mange som er med på å utvikle det og
 406 vedlikeholde det er en enda større fordel. Allerede før jeg startet
 407 med prosjektet så jeg mange fordeler, og når jeg nærmet meg sluttfasen
 408 så jeg langt flere. At prosjektet skulle inneha en så høy kvalitet
 409 hadde jeg aldri trodd. En vanlig Skolelinux installasjon har de
 410 nødvendige programmene og funksjonen som både små og store skoler i
 411 tillegg til organisasjoner kan klare seg med.  At prosjektet tilbyr en
 412 så komplett løsning er en kjempefordel.  Installasjonen er knirkefri
 413 og det er svært enkelt å installere og komme i gang.</p>
 414
 415 <p><strong>Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?</strong></p>
 416
 417 <p>Ulempene jeg ser med prosjektet er ryddigheten av websidene. Selv
 418 om websidene er enkle og konsise er det allikevel ikke appellerende i
 419 like stor grad som for eksempel
 420 <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> sine sider.  Deres side
 421 tilbyr, i tillegg til godt design og presentasjon, en nettbasert
 422 emulator av deres operativsystem. Dette er en stor fordel slik jeg ser
 423 det.  Bortsett fra dette ser jeg absolutt ingen ulemper med
 424 Skolelinux-prosjektet.</p>
 425
 426 <p><strong>Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?</strong></p>
 427
 428 <p>Til daglig er jeg en flittig bruker av det åpne media
 429 sentersystemet <a href="http://xbmc.org/">XBMC</a>. Det enorme
 430 samfunnet rundt dette prosjektet har gjort dette til et program som
 431 dekker alles behov. Man kan tilpasse det akkurat slik man vil både med
 432 tanke på utseende og funksjoner ved installere plug-ins eller
 433 scripts.</p>
 434
 435 <p><strong>Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få
 436 skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?</strong></p>
 437
 438 <p>Strategien som burde brukes sett fra mine øyne er
 439 markedsføring. Jeg er sikker på at om flere skoler fikk et lite innsyn
 440 i hvor bra Skolelinux er så ville de ikke nølt med å gå over fra noe
 441 annet som koster de store summer. At skolelinux til de grader tilbyr
 442 en så komplett løsning bure komme frem. Enten via reklamekampanjer
 443 eller ved å sende ut folk til skoler for så å la skolenettverk
 444 ansvarlige få teste ut hvordan Skolelinux fungerer i praksis. Om det
 445 i tillegg ble utviklet gode websider og en emulator for å la brukere
 446 prøve operativsystemet ville nok dette ha styrket inntrykket
 447 betraktelig.</p>

 462       <div class="body"><p><a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> is
 463 an operating system based on Debian intended for use in schools.  It
 464 contain a turn-key solution for the computer network provided to
 465 pupils in the primary schools.  It provide both the central server,
 466 network boot servers and desktop environments with heaps of
 467 educational software.  The project was founded almost 12 years ago,
 468 2001-07-02.  If you want to support the project, which is in need for
 469 cash to fund developer gatherings and other project related activity,
 470 <a href="http://www.linuxiskolen.no/slxdebianlabs/donations.html">please
 471 donate some money</a>.
 472
 473 <p>A topic that come up again and again on the Debian Edu mailing
 474 lists and elsewhere, is the question on how to transform a Debian or
 475 Ubuntu installation into a Debian Edu installation.  It isn't very
 476 hard, and last week I wrote a script to replicate the steps done by
 477 the Debian Edu installer.</p>
 478
 479 <p>The script,
 480 <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/>
 481 in the debian-edu-config package, will go through these six steps and
 482 transform an existing Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu (untested) installation
 483 into a Debian Edu Workstation:</p>
 484
 485 <ol>
 486
 487 <li>Add skolelinux related APT sources.</li>
 488 <li>Create /etc/debian-edu/config with the wanted configuration.</li>
 489 <li>Install debian-edu-install to load preseeding values and pull in
 490     our configuration.</li>
 491 <li>Preseed debconf database with profile setup in
 492     /etc/debian-edu/config, and run tasksel to install packages
 493     according to the profile specified in the config above,
 494     overriding some of the Debian automation machinery.</li>
 495 <li>Run debian-edu-cfengine-D installation to configure everything
 496     that could not be done using preseeding.</li>
 497 <li>Ask for a reboot to enable all the configuration changes.</li>
 498
 499 </ol>
 500
 501 <p>There are some steps in the Debian Edu installation that can not be
 502 replicated like this.  Disk partitioning and LVM setup, for example.
 503 So this script just assume there is enough disk space to install all
 504 the needed packages.</p>
 505
 506 <p>The script was created to help a Debian Edu student working on
 507 setting up <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org">Raspberry Pi</a> as a
 508 Debian Edu client, and using it he can take the existing
 509 <a href="http://www.raspbian.org/FrontPage‎">Raspbian</a> installation and
 510 transform it into a fully functioning Debian Edu Workstation (or
 511 Roaming Workstation, or whatever :).</p>
 512
 513 <p>The default setting in the script is to create a KDE Workstation.
 514 If a LXDE based Roaming workstation is wanted instead, modify the
 515 PROFILE and DESKTOP values at the top to look like this instead:</p>
 516
 517 <p><pre>
 518 PROFILE="Roaming-Workstation"
 519 DESKTOP="lxde"
 520 </pre></p>
 521
 522 <p>The script could even become useful to set up Debian Edu servers in
 523 the cloud, by starting with a virtual Debian installation at some
 524 virtual hosting service and setting up all the services on first
 525 boot.</p>

 543
 544 <p><strong>New features for Debian Edu 7.0.0 alpha1 released
 545 2013-05-14</strong></p>
 546
 547 <p>This is the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux 7.0.0 edu

 550
 551 <p><strong>About Debian Edu and Skolelinux</strong></p>
 552
 553 <p>Debian Edu, also known as Skolelinux, is a Linux distribution based
 554 on Debian providing an out-of-the box environment of a completely
 555 configured school network. Immediatly after installation a school
 556 server running all services needed for a school network is set up just
 557 waiting for users and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable
 558 Web-UI. A netbooting environment is prepared using PXE, so after
 559 initial installation of the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all
 560 other machines can be installed via the network.</p>
 561
 562 <p>This is the first test release based on Wheezy (which currently is
 563 not released yet). Basically this is an updated and slightly improved
 564 version compared to the Squeeze release.</p>
 565
 566 <p><strong>Software updates</strong></p>
 567 <ul>
 568   <li>Install freemind (0.9.0) by default, and stop installing vym by
 569     default.</li>
 570   <li>Install chromium (26.0.1410.43) by default.</li>
 571   <li>Install goplay (0.5-1.1) to make golearn available by default.</li>
 572   <li>Updated support for Japanese input methods, now based on
 573     ibus-anthy.</li>

 648 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/New_IRC_channel_for_LEGO_designers_using_Debian.html">I
 649 announced a</a> new <a href="irc://irc.debian.org/%23debian-lego">IRC
 650 channel #debian-lego</a>, for those of us in the Debian and Linux
 651 community interested in <a href="http://www.lego.com/">LEGO</a>, the
 652 marvellous construction system from Denmark.  We also created
 653 <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/LegoDesigners">a wiki page</a> to have
 654 a place to take notes and write down our plans and hopes.  And several
 655 people showed up to help.  I was very happy to see the effect of my
 656 call.  Since the small start, we have a debtags tag
 657 <a href="http://debtags.debian.net/search/bytag?wl=hardware::hobby:lego">hardware::hobby:lego</a>
 658 tag for LEGO related packages, and now count 10 packages related to
 659 LEGO and <a href="http://mindstorms.lego.com/">Mindstorms</a>:</p>
 660
 661 <p><table>
 662 <tr><td><a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/brickos">brickos</a></td><td>alternative OS for LEGO Mindstorms RCX. Supports development in C/C++</td></tr>

 673
 674 <p>Some of these are available in Wheezy, and all but one are
 675 currently available in Jessie/testing.  leocad is so far only
 676 available in experimental.</p>
 677
 678 <p>If you care about LEGO in Debian, please join us on IRC and help
 679 adding the rest of the great free software tools available on Linux
 680 for LEGO designers.</p>

 695       <div class="body"><p>I fjor sommer ble jeg
 696 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Gladoppslag_om_Skolelinux_i_avisen_Fremover.html">gledelig
 697 overrasket</a> over et oppslag i avisen Fremover om Narvik kommunes
 698 bruk av <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a>.  Oppslaget
 699 var basert på et notat som besvarte spørsmål fra ordfører Tor Nysæter
 700 og rådgiver for skolesektoren, Petter Falkbu, om bruken av Skolelinux
 701 i Narvikskolene og konstnaden ved å gå over til Windows.  For litt
 702 over en uke siden siden fikk jeg endelig bedt kommunen om å få innsyn
 703 i dette notatet, og det ble oversendt på epost tirsdag.  Jeg fikk
 704 <a href="http://www.nuug.no/pub/offentliginnsyn/from-Narvik-kommune/2013-04-29-09:12-skolelinux-notat/PetterFalkbuogwindowsfornarvikskolen%20(L)351310.pdf">lagt
 705 ut notatet</a> samme dag, og fikk i dag sjekket postlista til Narvik,
 706 der jeg fant notatet som
 707 <a href="https://www.narvik.kommune.no/innsyn.aspx?response=arkivsak_detaljer&arkivsakid=2013001023&scripturi=/innsyn.aspx&skin=infolink&Mid1=301&">sak
 708 2013/1023</a>.</p>
 709
 710 <p>Notatet forteller at Narvik ville måtte betalt minst 9 millioner
 711 for å gå over til Windows på skolene.  I tillegg dokumenterer notatet
 712 at læreplanens krav oppfylles uten problemer ved bruk av Skolelinux.
 713 Jeg anbefaler alle å lese de 10 sidene med gode argumenter for å kutte
 714 unødige utgifter på IT i skoleverket. :)</p>

 729       <div class="body"><p>When I woke up this morning, I was very happy to see that the
 730 <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130504">release announcement
 731 for Debian Wheezy</a> was waiting in my mail box.  This is a great
 732 Debian release, and I expect to move my machines at home over to it fairly
 733 soon.</p>
 734
 735 <p>The new debian release contain heaps of new stuff, and one program
 736 in particular make me very happy to see included.  The
 737 <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/">Scratch</a> program, made famous by
 738 the <a href="http://www.code.org/">Teach kids code</a> movement, is
 739 included for the first time.  Alongside similar programs like
 740 <a href="http://edu.kde.org/kturtle/">kturtle</a> and
 741 <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Activities/Turtle_Art">turtleart</a>,
 742 it allow for visual programming where syntax errors can not happen,
 743 and a friendly programming environment for learning to control the
 744 computer.  Scratch will also be included in the next release of Debian
 745 Edu.</a>
 746
 747 <p>And now that Wheezy is wrapped up, we can wrap up the next Debian
 748 Edu/Skolelinux release too.  The
 749 <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/04/msg00132.html">first
 750 alpha release</a> went out last week, and the next should soon
 751 follow.<p>
