&lt;p&gt;On other news, I am happy to report that Freedombox based on Debian
Jessie is coming along quite well, and soon both Owncloud and using
Tor should be available for testers of the Freedombox solution. :) In
a few weeks I hope everything needed to test it is included in Debian.
The withsqlite package is already in Debian, and the plinth package is
pending in NEW.  The third and vital part of that puzzle is the
metapackage/setup framework, which is still pending an upload.  Join
us on &lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox&quot;&gt;IRC
(#freedombox on irc.debian.org)&lt;/a&gt; and
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss&quot;&gt;the
mailing list&lt;/a&gt; if you want to help make this vision come true.&lt;/p&gt;

                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Third_and_probably_last_beta_release_of_Debian_Edu_Wheezy.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Third_and_probably_last_beta_release_of_Debian_Edu_Wheezy.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Mon, 16 Sep 2013 21:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;The third wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
today.  This is the release announcement from Holger Levsen:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it is my pleasure to announce the third beta release (beta 2 for
short) of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu /
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; based on Debian Wheezy!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please test these images extensivly, if no new problems are found
we plan to do this final Debian Edu Wheezy release this coming
weekend.  We are not aware of any major problems or blockers in beta2,
if you find something, please notify us immediately!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(More about the remaining steps for the Edu Wheezy release in
another mail to the edu list tonight or tomorrow...)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Noteworthy changes and software updates for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b2
compared to beta1:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;The KDE proxy setup has been adjusted to use the provided wpad.dat. This
also gets Chromium to use this proxy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Install kdepim-groupware with KDE desktops to make sure korganizer
understand ical/dav sources.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased default maximum size of /var/spool/squid and /skole/backup on the
main server.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A source DVD image containing all source packages is now available as well.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Updates for chromium (29.0.1547.57-1~deb7u1), imagemagick
(6.7.7.10-5+deb7u2), php5 (5.4.4-14+deb7u4), libmodplug
(0.8.8.4-3+deb7u1+git20130828), tiff (4.0.2-6+deb7u2), linux-image
(3.2.0-4-486_3.2.46-1+deb7u1).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Where to get it:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-CD.iso&quot;&gt;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-CD.iso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-CD.iso&quot;&gt;http://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-CD.iso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;rsync -avzP ftp.skolelinux.org::skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-CD.iso .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The SHA1SUM of this image is:  3a1c89f4666df80eebcd46c5bf5fedb866f9472f&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To download the multiarch USB stick ISO release you can use
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-USB.iso&quot;&gt;ftp://ftp.skolelinux.org/skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-USB.iso&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;rsync -avzP ftp.skolelinux.org::skolelinux-cd/wheezy/debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-USB.iso .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The SHA1SUM of this image is: 702d1718548f401c74bfa6df9f032cc3ee16597e&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Source DVD image has the filename
debian-edu-7.1+edu0~b2-source-DVD.iso and the SHA1SUM
089eed8b3f962db47aae1f6a9685e9bb2fa30ca5 and is available the same way
as the other isos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How to report bugs&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For information how to report bugs please see
&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/ReportBugs&quot;&gt;http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/ReportBugs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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. 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 more than 60 educational software
packages and more are available from the Debian archive, and schools
can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the seventh test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Notes for upgrades from Alpha Prereleases&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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 on the mailing list. (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 all users need to change their password
to make sure a password is set for CIFS access to their home
directory.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;cheers,
&lt;br&gt;        Holger&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

                <title>Recipe to test the Freedombox project on amd64 or Raspberry Pi</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Recipe_to_test_the_Freedombox_project_on_amd64_or_Raspberry_Pi.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Recipe_to_test_the_Freedombox_project_on_amd64_or_Raspberry_Pi.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:20:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;I was introduced to the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/&quot;&gt;Freedombox project&lt;/a&gt;
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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#39;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 &quot;western&quot; intelligence gathering
communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I
actually started working on the project a while back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://alioth.debian.org/projects/freedombox/&quot;&gt;initial
Debian initiative&lt;/a&gt; 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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx&quot;&gt;Dreamplug&lt;/a&gt;,
which is a piece of hardware I do not own.  So to be able to test what
the current Freedombox setup look like, I had to come up with a way to install
it on some hardware I do have access to.  I have rewritten the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker&quot;&gt;freedom-maker&lt;/a&gt;
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).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping
scripts
(&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/freedombox-setup&quot;&gt;freedombox-setup&lt;/a&gt;),
and a administrative web interface
(&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/NickDaly/Plinth&quot;&gt;plinth&lt;/a&gt; + exmachina +
withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on
&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/privoxy&quot;&gt;privoxy&lt;/a&gt;
(freedombox-privoxy).  There is also a web/javascript based XMPP
client (&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/jwchat&quot;&gt;jwchat&lt;/a&gt;)
trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server
(&lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/ejabberd&quot;&gt;ejabberd&lt;/a&gt;).  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
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/NickDaly/freedombox-todos/blob/master/TODO&quot;&gt;the
project TODO&lt;/a&gt; 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&#39;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current state, the
following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke
at.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debian Wheezy amd64&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fetch normal Debian Wheezy installation ISO.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Boot from it, either as CD or USB stick.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Press [tab] on the boot prompt and add this as a boot argument
to the Debian installer:&lt;p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;url=&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat&quot;&gt;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Answer the few language/region/password questions and pick disk to
install on.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;When the installation is finished and the machine have rebooted a
few times, your Freedombox is ready for testing.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raspberry Pi Raspbian&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
deb &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/&quot;&gt;http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox&lt;/a&gt; wheezy main
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Run this as root:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \
   apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install freedombox-setup
/usr/lib/freedombox/setup
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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 &quot;&lt;tt&gt;apt-get source -b freedombox-privoxy&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; away. :)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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 &quot;&lt;tt&gt;update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server
disable&lt;/tt&gt;&quot; as root.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please let me know if this works for you, or if you have any
problems.  We gather on the IRC channel
&lt;a href=&quot;irc://irc.debian.org:6667/%23freedombox&quot;&gt;#freedombox&lt;/a&gt; on
irc.debian.org and the
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss&quot;&gt;project
mailing list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit
&lt;tt&gt;http://your-host-name:8001/&lt;/tt&gt; 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 &lt;tt&gt;http://your-host-name:8001/help/&lt;/tt&gt;
to look at the rest of plinth.  The default user is &#39;admin&#39; and the
default password is &#39;secret&#39;.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Datalagringsdirektivet gjør at Oslo Høyre og Arbeiderparti ikke får min stemme i år</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Datalagringsdirektivet_gj_r_at_Oslo_H_yre_og_Arbeiderparti_ikke_f_r_min_stemme_i__r.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sun, 8 Sep 2013 20:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Datalagringsdirektivet
(DLD)&lt;/a&gt;, 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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;
og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;Jon Wessel-Aas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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
informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget,
basert på informasjon fra mine venner i 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e&quot;&gt;Holder de
Ord&lt;/a&gt; samt &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;data.stortinget.no&lt;/a&gt;.
Først ut er stortingslista fra Høyre for Oslo:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;style type=&quot;text/css&quot;&gt;
.for    {background-color:#F5A9A9;}
.mot    {background-color:#A9F5BC;}

&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;#&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Navn, fødselsår og valgkrets&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Stemme/kommentar&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;tr class=&quot;for&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;1.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Ine Marie Eriksen Søreide (1976), Gamle Oslo&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Stemte for DLD&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hvilket parti får så min stemme i år.  Jeg tror det blir
&lt;a href=&quot;http://piratpartiet.no/&quot;&gt;Piratpartiet&lt;/a&gt;.  Hvis de kan bidra
til at det kommer noen inn på Stortinget med teknisk peiling, så får
kanskje ikke overvåkningsgalskapen like fritt spillerom som det har
hatt så langt.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Second beta release (beta 1) of Debian Edu/Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Second_beta_release__beta_1__of_Debian_Edu_Skolelinux_based_on_Debian_Wheezy.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Second_beta_release__beta_1__of_Debian_Edu_Skolelinux_based_on_Debian_Wheezy.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Thu, 22 Aug 2013 09:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b1 released 2013-08-22&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
7.1+edu0~b1, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, 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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html&quot;&gt;on
the mailing list&lt;/a&gt;. (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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
    work also without a attached tty.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
    make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
    tools. Please note, that the command &#39;update-command-not-found&#39;
    has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
    required).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Adjusted the USB stick ISO image build to include every tool
needed for desktop=xfce installations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adjust thin-client-server task to work when installing from USB
stick ISO image.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Made new grub artwork (changed png from indexed to RGB format).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Minor cleanup in the CUPS setup.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure that bootstrapping of the Samba domain really happens
    during installation of the main server and adjust SID handling to
    cope with this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make Samba passwords changeable (again) via GOsa².&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fix generation of LM and NT password hashes via GOsa² to avoid
    empty password hashes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adapted Samba machine domain joining to latest change in the
    smbldap-tools Perl package, fixing bugs blocking Windows machines
    from joining the Samba domain.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;KDE fails to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
    not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chromium also fails to use the proxy when using the KDE desktop
    (using the KDE configuration).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use&lt;/p&gt;

                <pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Earlier, I reported about
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html&quot;&gt;my
problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk&lt;/a&gt;.  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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
&lt;a href=&quot;https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&amp;ProdId=3472&amp;DwnldID=18363&amp;ProductFamily=Solid-State+Drives+and+Caching&amp;ProductLine=Intel%c2%ae+High+Performance+Solid-State+Drive&amp;ProductProduct=Intel%c2%ae+SSD+520+Series+(180GB%2c+2.5in+SATA+6Gb%2fs%2c+25nm%2c+MLC)&amp;lang=eng&quot;&gt;issdfut_2.0.4.iso&lt;/a&gt;
(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.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
have worked on a Norwegian
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
&lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; 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:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;80%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; src=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/raw/master/progress.png&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
the updated
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.pdf?raw=true&quot;&gt;PDF&lt;/a&gt;
and
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/blob/master/archive/freeculture.nb.epub?raw=true&quot;&gt;EPUB&lt;/a&gt;
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.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>First beta release of Debian Edu/Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_beta_release_of_Debian_Edu_Skolelinux_based_on_Debian_Wheezy.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/First_beta_release_of_Debian_Edu_Skolelinux_based_on_Debian_Wheezy.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sat, 27 Jul 2013 20:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;The first wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
today.  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b0 released
2013-07-27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
7.1+edu0~b0, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, 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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the fifth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
release.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Switched roaming workstation profiles from wicd to network-manager
   for network configuration, as wicd didn&#39;t work any more.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added bluetooth tools to the default desktop (bluedevil, blueman).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added tools for sharing the desktop on KDE (krdc, krfb).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added valgrind to the default installation for easier debugging of
   crash bugs.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Fixed artwork package to work with gnome, no longer break
   desktop=gnome installations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adjusted installer to now work when forced to use a proxy with the
   netinst CD.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed code detecting and setting/loading hardware specific
   setup/firmware to work more robust out of the box.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Changed default host name on all networked machines to be unique
   (generated from MAC or reverse DNS) after boot.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adjusted partition sizes to make sure they are big enough.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Grub is missing the new artwork.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;KDE fail to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
    not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chromium also fail to use the proxy.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to get it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>How to fix a Thinkpad X230 with a broken 180 GB SSD disk</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_to_fix_a_Thinkpad_X230_with_a_broken_180_GB_SSD_disk.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I switched to
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;my
new laptop&lt;/a&gt;.  I&#39;ve previously written about the problems I had with
my new Thinkpad X230, which was delivered with an
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html&quot;&gt;180
GB Intel SSD disk with Lenovo firmware&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;tt&gt;ssd-setup&lt;/tt&gt; to handle this tuning.  The
&lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ssd-setup.git&quot;&gt;source
for the ssd-setup package&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Set up cryptsetup to pass TRIM commands to the physical disk
    (adding discard to /etc/crypttab)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;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.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Set relatime as a file system option for ext3 and ext4 file
    systems.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Tell swap to use TRIM commands by adding &#39;discard&#39; to
    /etc/fstab.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Change I/O scheduler from cfq to deadline using a udev rule.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Run fstrim on every ext3 and ext4 file system every night (from
    cron.daily).&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Adjust sysctl values vm.swappiness to 1 and vm.vfs_cache_pressure
    to 50 to reduce the kernel eagerness to swap out processes.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://xkcd.com/538/&quot;&gt;XKCD #538&lt;/a&gt; for an explanation why).
Thus I concluded that adding the discard option to crypttab is the
right thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I also considered using the &#39;discard&#39; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My package do not set up tmpfs on /var/run, /var/lock and /tmp, as
this is already done by Debian Edu.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The package should work on Ubuntu too, but I have not yet tested it
there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html</link>

                <pubDate>Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I wrote about
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;the
problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk&lt;/a&gt;, which
was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
sustained write.  My supplier is in contact with
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenovo.com/&quot;&gt;Lenovo&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; ISO or
other large files.  I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
the next proposal from Lenovo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
11S0C38722Z1ZNME35X1TR, ISN: CVCV321407HB180EGN, SA: G57560302, FW:
LF1i, 29MAY2013, PBA: G39779-300, LBA 351,651,888, LI P/N: 0C38722,
Pb-free 2LI, LC P/N: 16-200366, WWN: 55CD2E40002756C4, Model:
SSDSC2BW180A3L 2.5&quot; 6Gb/s SATA SSD 180G 5V 1A, ASM P/N 0C38732, FRU
P/N 45N8295, P0C38732.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The replacement disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
11S0C38722Z1ZNDE34N0L0, ISN: CVCV315306RK180EGN, SA: G57560-302, FW:
LF1i, 22APR2013, PBA: G39779-300, LBA 351,651,888, LI P/N: 0C38722,
Pb-free 2LI, LC P/N: 16-200366, WWN: 55CD2E40000AB69E, Model:

P/N 45N8295, P0C38732.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The only difference is in the first number (serial number?), ISN,
SA, date and WNPP values.  Mentioning all the details here in case
someone is able to use the information to find a way to identify the
failing disk among working ones (if any such working disk actually
exist).&lt;/p&gt;
