  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og
  15 Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske
  16 folk.  Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt
  17 år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de
  18 snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen.  Det skal også
  19 registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost
  20 til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte.  Saken er kjent som
  21 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/issues/innfore-datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Datalagringsdirektivet
  22 (DLD)&lt;/a&gt;, og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor norges
  23 grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt.  Det ble i praksis innført brev og
  24 besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen.  Rapporter fra de landene som
  25 allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes
  26 kommunkasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i
  27 kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.  Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre
  28 millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets
  29 arbeide.  Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt
  30 på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen.
  31 Se mer på
  32 &lt;a href=&quot;http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalagringsdirektivet&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;
  33 og &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uhuru.biz/?cat=84&quot;&gt;Jon Wessel-Aas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  34
  35 &lt;p&gt;Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje?  Et åpenbart problem er at
  36 medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut.  Den innsamlede
  37 informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med
  38 journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten
  39 av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon.  Et annet er at
  40 aadvokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem
  41 som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat.
  42 Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke
  43 nettsteder en har besøkt.  Har en besøkt hivnorge.no,
  44 swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede
  45 interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være
  46 tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.&lt;/p&gt;
  47
  48 &lt;p&gt;De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for.  Høyre og
  49 Arbeiderpartiet.  Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har
  50 DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre
  51 fylkene).  Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse
  52 partiene.  Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med
  53 informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget,
  54 basert på informasjon fra mine venner i
  55 &lt;a href=&quot;http://beta.holderdeord.no/votes/1301946411e&quot;&gt;Holder de
  56 Ord&lt;/a&gt; samt &lt;a href=&quot;http://data.stortinget.no/&quot;&gt;data.stortinget.no&lt;/a&gt;.

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

 292                 <description>&lt;p&gt;The second wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
 293 today, slightly delayed because of some bugs in the initial Windows
 294 integration fixes .  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
 295
 296 &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;
 297
 298 &lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
 299 7.1+edu0~b1, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
 300
 301 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 302
 303 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
 304 Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
 305 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
 306 network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
 307 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
 308 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
 309 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
 310 the main server from CD or USB stick all other machines can be
 311 installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
 312 database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
 313 directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
 314 desktop contains
 315 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
 316 than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
 317 the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
 318 and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
 319
 320 &lt;p&gt;This is the sixth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically this
 321 is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the Squeeze
 322 release.&lt;/p&gt;
 323
 324 &lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
 325 versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
 326 release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or
 327 deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep
 328 gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined
 329 &lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2013/08/msg00127.html&quot;&gt;on
 330 the mailing list&lt;/a&gt;. (2) Accept the new version of gosa.conf and
 331 replace both contained admin password placeholders with the password
 332 hashes found in the old one (backup copy!). In both cases every user
 333 need to change their their password to make sure a password is set for
 334 CIFS access to their home directory.&lt;/p&gt;
 335
 336 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 337
 338 &lt;ul&gt;
 339
 340 &lt;li&gt;Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh
 341     work also without a attached tty.&lt;/li&gt;
 342 &lt;li&gt;Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to
 343     make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line
 344     tools. Please note, that the command &#39;update-command-not-found&#39;
 345     has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access
 346     required).&lt;/li&gt;
 347
 348 &lt;/ul&gt;
 349
 350 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 351
 352 &lt;ul&gt;
 353
 354 &lt;li&gt;Adjusted the USB stick ISO image build to include every tool
 355 needed for desktop=xfce installations.&lt;/li&gt;
 356 &lt;li&gt;Adjust thin-client-server task to work when installing from USB
 357 stick ISO image.&lt;/li&gt;
 358 &lt;li&gt;Made new grub artwork (changed png from indexed to RGB format).&lt;/li&gt;
 359 &lt;li&gt;Minor cleanup in the CUPS setup.&lt;/li&gt;
 360 &lt;li&gt;Make sure that bootstrapping of the Samba domain really happens
 361     during installation of the main server and adjust SID handling to
 362     cope with this.&lt;/li&gt;
 363 &lt;li&gt;Make Samba passwords changeable (again) via GOsa².&lt;/li&gt;
 364 &lt;li&gt;Fix generation of LM and NT password hashes via GOsa² to avoid
 365     empty password hashes.&lt;/li&gt;
 366 &lt;li&gt;Adapted Samba machine domain joining to latest change in the
 367     smbldap-tools Perl package, fixing bugs blocking Windows machines
 368     from joining the Samba domain.&lt;/li&gt;
 369
 370 &lt;/ul&gt;
 371
 372 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 373
 374 &lt;ul&gt;
 375
 376 &lt;li&gt;KDE fails to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
 377     not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
 378 &lt;li&gt;Chromium also fails to use the proxy when using the KDE desktop
 379     (using the KDE configuration).&lt;/li&gt;

 424                 <pubDate>Sun, 18 Aug 2013 14:00:00 +0200</pubDate>
 425                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Earlier, I reported about
 426 &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
 427 problems using an Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB disk&lt;/a&gt;.  Friday I was
 428 told by IBM that the original disk should be thrown away.  And as
 429 there no longer was a problem if I bricked the firmware, I decided
 430 today to try to install Intel firmware to replace the Lenovo firmware
 431 currently on the disk.&lt;/p&gt;
 432
 433 &lt;p&gt;I searched the Intel site for firmware, and found
 434 &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;
 435 (aka Intel SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool) which
 436 according to the site should contain the latest firmware for SSD
 437 disks.  I inserted the broken disk in one of my spare laptops and
 438 booted the ISO from a USB stick.  The disk was recognized, but the
 439 program claimed the newest firmware already were installed and refused
 440 to insert any Intel firmware.  So no change, and the disk is still
 441 unable to handle write load. :( I guess the only way to get them
 442 working would be if Lenovo releases new firmware.  No idea how likely
 443 that is.  Anyway, just blogging about this test for completeness.  I
 444 got a working Samsung disk, and see no point in spending more time on
 445 the broken disks.&lt;/p&gt;

 450                 <title>90 percent done with the Norwegian draft translation of Free Culture</title>
 451                 <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/90_percent_done_with_the_Norwegian_draft_translation_of_Free_Culture.html</link>
 452                 <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/90_percent_done_with_the_Norwegian_draft_translation_of_Free_Culture.html</guid>
 453                 <pubDate>Fri, 2 Aug 2013 10:40:00 +0200</pubDate>
 454                 <description>&lt;p&gt;It has been a while since my last update.  Since last summer, I
 455 have worked on a Norwegian
 456 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.docbook.org/&quot;&gt;docbook&lt;/a&gt; version of the 2004 book
 457 &lt;a href=&quot;http://free-culture.cc/&quot;&gt;Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; by Lawrence Lessig,
 458 to get a Norwegian text explaining the problems with the copyright
 459 law.  Yesterday, I finally broken the 90% mark, when counting the
 460 number of strings to translate.  Due to real life constraints, I have
 461 not had time to work on it since March, but when the summer broke out,
 462 I found time to work on it again.  Still lots of work left, but the
 463 first draft is nearing completion.  I created a graph to show the
 464 progress of the translation:&lt;/p&gt;
 465
 466 &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;
 467
 468 &lt;p&gt;When the first draft is done, the translated text need to be
 469 proof read, and the remaining formatting problems with images and SVG
 470 drawings need to be fixed.  There are probably also some index entries
 471 missing that need to be added.  This can be done by comparing the
 472 index entries listed in the SiSU version of the book, or comparing the
 473 English docbook version with the paper version.  Last, the colophon
 474 page with ISBN numbers etc need to be wrapped up before the release is
 475 done.  I should also figure out how to get correct Norwegian sorting
 476 of the index pages.  All docbook tools I have tried so far (xmlto,
 477 docbook-xsl, dblatex) get the order of symbols and the special
 478 Norwegian letters ÆØÅ wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
 479
 480 &lt;p&gt;There is still need for translators and people with docbook
 481 knowledge, to be able to get a good looking book (I still struggle
 482 with dblatex, xmlto and docbook-xsl) as well as to do the draft
 483 translation and proof reading.  And I would like the figures to be
 484 redrawn as SVGs to make it easy to translate them.  Any SVG master
 485 around?  There are also some legal terms that are unfamiliar to me.
 486 If you want to help, please get in touch with me, and check out the
 487 project files currently available from
 488 &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
 489
 490 &lt;p&gt;If you are curious what the translated book currently look like,
 491 the updated
 492 &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;
 493 and
 494 &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;
 495 are published on github.  The HTML version is published as well, but
 496 github hand it out with MIME type text/plain, confusing browsers, so I
 497 saw no point in linking to that version.&lt;/p&gt;

 506                 <description>&lt;p&gt;The first wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up
 507 today.  This is the release announcement:&lt;/p&gt;
 508
 509 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New features for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b0 released
 510 2013-07-27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 511
 512 &lt;p&gt;These are the release notes for for Debian Edu / Skolelinux
 513 7.1+edu0~b0, based on Debian with codename &quot;Wheezy&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
 514
 515 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Debian Edu and Skolelinux&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 516
 517 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu, also known as
 518 Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;, is a Linux distribution based on Debian providing an
 519 out-of-the box environment of a completely configured school
 520 network. Immediately after installation a school server running all
 521 services needed for a school network is set up just waiting for users
 522 and machines being added via GOsa², a comfortable Web-UI. A netbooting
 523 environment is prepared using PXE, so after initial installation of
 524 the main server from CD, DVD or USB stick all other machines can be
 525 installed via the network. The provided school server provides LDAP
 526 database and Kerberos authentication service, centralized home
 527 directories, DHCP server, web proxy and many other services. The
 528 desktop contains
 529 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Educational_applications_included_in_Debian_Edu___Skolelinux__the_screenshot_collection____.html&quot;&gt;more
 530 than 60 educational software packages&lt;/a&gt; and more are available from
 531 the Debian archive, and schools can choose between KDE, Gnome, LXDE
 532 and Xfce desktop environment.&lt;/p&gt;
 533
 534 &lt;p&gt;This is the fifth test release based on Debian Wheezy. Basically
 535 this is an updated and slightly improved version compared to the
 536 Squeeze release.&lt;/p&gt;
 537
 538 &lt;p&gt;ALERT: Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the
 539 versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta
 540 release.&lt;/p&gt;
 541
 542 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Software updates&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 543
 544 &lt;ul&gt;
 545
 546 &lt;li&gt;Switched roaming workstation profiles from wicd to network-manager
 547    for network configuration, as wicd didn&#39;t work any more.&lt;/li&gt;
 548 &lt;li&gt;Changed version numbers of patched gosa and libpam-mklocaluser
 549    packages to make sure our locally patched versions will be replaced
 550    by the official packages when they are released from Debian. Those
 551    installing alpha version need to reinstall or manually downgrade gosa
 552    and libpam-mklocaluser.&lt;/li&gt;
 553 &lt;li&gt;Added bluetooth tools to the default desktop (bluedevil, blueman).&lt;/li&gt;
 554 &lt;li&gt;Added tools for sharing the desktop on KDE (krdc, krfb).&lt;/li&gt;
 555 &lt;li&gt;Added valgrind to the default installation for easier debugging of
 556    crash bugs.&lt;/li&gt;
 557
 558 &lt;/ul&gt;
 559
 560 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other changes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 561
 562 &lt;ul&gt;
 563
 564 &lt;li&gt;Fixed artwork package to work with gnome, no longer break
 565    desktop=gnome installations.&lt;/li&gt;
 566 &lt;li&gt;Adjusted installer to now work when forced to use a proxy with the
 567    netinst CD.&lt;/li&gt;
 568 &lt;li&gt;Fixed code detecting and setting/loading hardware specific
 569    setup/firmware to work more robust out of the box.&lt;/li&gt;
 570 &lt;li&gt;Adjusted Kerberos setup to detect realm and server settings at
 571    install time instead of dynamically at run time. This avoid a crash
 572    with krb5-auth-dialog on diskless workstations without a DNS name.&lt;/li&gt;
 573 &lt;li&gt;Worked around misfeature in network-manager not calling the dhclient
 574    exit hooks, causing automatic proxy configuration and automatic host
 575    name setting at run time to work again.&lt;/li&gt;
 576 &lt;li&gt;Fixed feature setting the default Iceweasel start page from URL
 577    fetched from LDAP, to allow schools to set the global default by
 578    updating the dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no LDAP object.&lt;/li&gt;
 579 &lt;li&gt;Changed default host name on all networked machines to be unique
 580    (generated from MAC or reverse DNS) after boot.&lt;/li&gt;
 581 &lt;li&gt;Adjusted partition sizes to make sure they are big enough.&lt;/li&gt;
 582
 583 &lt;/ul&gt;
 584
 585 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Known issues&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 586
 587 &lt;ul&gt;
 588
 589 &lt;li&gt;Grub is missing the new artwork.&lt;/li&gt;
 590 &lt;li&gt;KDE fail to understand the wpad.dat file provided, causing it to
 591     not use the http proxy as it should.&lt;/li&gt;
 592 &lt;li&gt;Chromium also fail to use the proxy.&lt;/li&gt;

 637                 <pubDate>Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:50:00 +0200</pubDate>
 638                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Today I switched to
 639 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;my
 640 new laptop&lt;/a&gt;.  I&#39;ve previously written about the problems I had with
 641 my new Thinkpad X230, which was delivered with an
 642 &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
 643 GB Intel SSD disk with Lenovo firmware&lt;/a&gt; that did not handle
 644 sustained writes.  My hardware supplier have been very forthcoming in
 645 trying to find a solution, and after first trying with another
 646 identical 180 GB disks they decided to send me a 256 GB Samsung SSD
 647 disk instead to fix it once and for all.  The Samsung disk survived
 648 the installation of Debian with encrypted disks (filling the disk with
 649 random data during installation killed the first two), and I thus
 650 decided to trust it with my data.  I have installed it as a Debian Edu
 651 Wheezy roaming workstation hooked up with my Debian Edu Squeeze main
 652 server at home using Kerberos and LDAP, and will use it as my work
 653 station from now on.&lt;/p&gt;
 654
 655 &lt;p&gt;As this is a solid state disk with no moving parts, I believe the
 656 Debian Wheezy default installation need to be tuned a bit to increase
 657 performance and increase life time of the disk.  The Linux kernel and
 658 user space applications do not yet adjust automatically to such
 659 environment.  To make it easier for my self, I created a draft Debian
 660 package &lt;tt&gt;ssd-setup&lt;/tt&gt; to handle this tuning.  The
 661 &lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ssd-setup.git&quot;&gt;source
 662 for the ssd-setup package&lt;/a&gt; is available from collab-maint, and it
 663 is set up to adjust the setup of the machine by just installing the
 664 package.  If there is any non-SSD disk in the machine, the package
 665 will refuse to install, as I did not try to write any logic to sort
 666 file systems in SSD and non-SSD file systems.&lt;/p&gt;
 667
 668 &lt;p&gt;I consider the package a draft, as I am a bit unsure how to best
 669 set up Debian Wheezy with an SSD.  It is adjusted to my use case,
 670 where I set up the machine with one large encrypted partition (in
 671 addition to /boot), put LVM on top of this and set up partitions on
 672 top of this again.  See the README file in the package source for the
 673 references I used to pick the settings.  At the moment these
 674 parameters are tuned:&lt;/p&gt;
 675
 676 &lt;ul&gt;
 677
 678 &lt;li&gt;Set up cryptsetup to pass TRIM commands to the physical disk
 679     (adding discard to /etc/crypttab)&lt;/li&gt;
 680
 681 &lt;li&gt;Set up LVM to pass on TRIM commands to the underlying device (in
 682     this case a cryptsetup partition) by changing issue_discards from
 683     0 to 1 in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.&lt;/li&gt;
 684
 685 &lt;li&gt;Set relatime as a file system option for ext3 and ext4 file
 686     systems.&lt;/li&gt;
 687
 688 &lt;li&gt;Tell swap to use TRIM commands by adding &#39;discard&#39; to
 689     /etc/fstab.&lt;/li&gt;
 690
 691 &lt;li&gt;Change I/O scheduler from cfq to deadline using a udev rule.&lt;/li&gt;
 692
 693 &lt;li&gt;Run fstrim on every ext3 and ext4 file system every night (from
 694     cron.daily).&lt;/li&gt;
 695
 696 &lt;li&gt;Adjust sysctl values vm.swappiness to 1 and vm.vfs_cache_pressure
 697     to 50 to reduce the kernel eagerness to swap out processes.&lt;/li&gt;
 698
 699 &lt;/ul&gt;
 700
 701 &lt;p&gt;During installation, I cancelled the part where the installer fill
 702 the disk with random data, as this would kill the SSD performance for
 703 little gain.  My goal with the encrypted file system is to ensure
 704 those stealing my laptop end up with a brick and not a working
 705 computer.  I have no hope in keeping the really resourceful people
 706 from getting the data on the disk (see
 707 &lt;a href=&quot;http://xkcd.com/538/&quot;&gt;XKCD #538&lt;/a&gt; for an explanation why).
 708 Thus I concluded that adding the discard option to crypttab is the
 709 right thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;
 710
 711 &lt;p&gt;I considered using the noop I/O scheduler, as several recommended
 712 it for SSD, but others recommended deadline and a benchmark I found
 713 indicated that deadline might be better for interactive use.&lt;/p&gt;
 714
 715 &lt;p&gt;I also considered using the &#39;discard&#39; file system option for ext3
 716 and ext4, but read that it would give a performance hit ever time a
 717 file is removed, and thought it best to that that slowdown once a day
 718 instead of during my work.&lt;/p&gt;
 719
 720 &lt;p&gt;My package do not set up tmpfs on /var/run, /var/lock and /tmp, as
 721 this is already done by Debian Edu.&lt;/p&gt;
 722
 723 &lt;p&gt;I have not yet started on the user space tuning.  I expect
 724 iceweasel need some tuning, and perhaps other applications too, but
 725 have not yet had time to investigate those parts.&lt;/p&gt;
 726
 727 &lt;p&gt;The package should work on Ubuntu too, but I have not yet tested it
 728 there.&lt;/p&gt;
 729
 730 &lt;p&gt;As for the answer to the question in the title of this blog post,
 731 as far as I know, the only solution I know about is to replace the
 732 disk.  It might be possible to flash it with Intel firmware instead of
 733 the Lenovo firmware.  But I have not tried and did not want to do so
 734 without approval from Lenovo as I wanted to keep the warranty on the
 735 disk until a solution was found and they wanted the broken disks
 736 back.&lt;/p&gt;

 744                 <pubDate>Wed, 10 Jul 2013 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
 745                 <description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I wrote about
 746 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;the
 747 problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk&lt;/a&gt;, which
 748 was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
 749 sustained write.  My supplier is in contact with
 750 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenovo.com/&quot;&gt;Lenovo&lt;/a&gt;, and they wanted to send a
 751 replacement disk to try to fix the problem.  They decided to send an
 752 identical model, so my hopes for a permanent fix was slim.&lt;/p&gt;
 753
 754 &lt;p&gt;Anyway, today I got the replacement disk and tried to install
 755 Debian Edu Wheezy with encrypted disk on it.  The new disk have the
 756 same firmware version as the original.  This time my hope raised
 757 slightly as the installation progressed, as the original disk used to
 758 die after 4-7% of the disk was written to, while this time it kept
 759 going past 10%, 20%, 40% and even past 50%.  But around 60%, the disk
 760 died again and I was back on square one.  I still do not have a new
 761 laptop with a disk I can trust.  I can not live with a disk that might
 762 lock up when I download a new
 763 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; ISO or
 764 other large files.  I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
 765 the next proposal from Lenovo.&lt;/p&gt;
 766
 767 &lt;p&gt;The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
 768 11S0C38722Z1ZNME35X1TR, ISN: CVCV321407HB180EGN, SA: G57560302, FW:
 769 LF1i, 29MAY2013, PBA: G39779-300, LBA 351,651,888, LI P/N: 0C38722,
 770 Pb-free 2LI, LC P/N: 16-200366, WWN: 55CD2E40002756C4, Model:
 771 SSDSC2BW180A3L 2.5&quot; 6Gb/s SATA SSD 180G 5V 1A, ASM P/N 0C38732, FRU
 772 P/N 45N8295, P0C38732.&lt;/p&gt;
 773
 774 &lt;p&gt;The replacement disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
 775 11S0C38722Z1ZNDE34N0L0, ISN: CVCV315306RK180EGN, SA: G57560-302, FW:
 776 LF1i, 22APR2013, PBA: G39779-300, LBA 351,651,888, LI P/N: 0C38722,
 777 Pb-free 2LI, LC P/N: 16-200366, WWN: 55CD2E40000AB69E, Model:
 778 SSDSC2BW180A3L 2.5&quot; 6Gb/s SATA SSD 180G 5V 1A, ASM P/N 0C38732, FRU
 779 P/N 45N8295, P0C38732.&lt;/p&gt;
 780
 781 &lt;p&gt;The only difference is in the first number (serial number?), ISN,
 782 SA, date and WNPP values.  Mentioning all the details here in case
 783 someone is able to use the information to find a way to identify the
 784 failing disk among working ones (if any such working disk actually
 785 exist).&lt;/p&gt;

 814                 <pubDate>Fri, 5 Jul 2013 08:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
 815                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Half a year ago, I reported that I had to find a
 816 &lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Thank_you_Thinkpad_X41__for_your_long_and_trustworthy_service.html&quot;&gt;replacement
 817 for my trusty old Thinkpad X41&lt;/a&gt;.  Unfortunately I did not have much
 818 time to spend on it, and it took a while to find a model I believe
 819 will do the job, but two days ago the replacement finally arrived.  I
 820 ended up picking a
 821 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linlap.com/lenovo_thinkpad_x230&quot;&gt;Thinkpad X230&lt;/a&gt;
 822 with SSD disk (NZDAJMN).  I first test installed Debian Edu Wheezy as
 823 a roaming workstation, and it seemed to work flawlessly.  But my
 824 second installation with encrypted disk was not as successful.  More
 825 on that below.&lt;/p&gt;
 826
 827 &lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
 828 important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
 829 listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search
 830 feature at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prisjakt.no/&quot;&gt;Prisjakt&lt;/a&gt;, which
 831 allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
 832 requirements.  A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks according
 833 to that search interface, so I had to drop specifying the number of
 834 disks from my search parameters.  I also asked around among friends to
 835 get their impression on keyboards and robustness.&lt;/p&gt;
 836
 837 &lt;p&gt;So the new laptop arrived, and it is quite a lot wider than the
 838 X41.  I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is
 839 significantly wider than my old keyboard, and I have to stretch my
 840 hand a lot more to reach the edges.  But the key response is fairly
 841 good and the individual key shape is fairly easy to handle, so I hope
 842 I will get used to it.  My old X40 was starting to fail, and I really
 843 needed a new laptop now. :)&lt;/p&gt;
 844
 845 &lt;p&gt;Turning off the touch pad was simple.  All it took was a quick
 846 visit to the BIOS during boot it disable it.&lt;/p&gt;
 847
 848 &lt;p&gt;But there is a fatal problem with the laptop.  The 180 GB SSD disk
 849 lock up during load.  And this happen when installing Debian Wheezy
 850 with encrypted disk, while the disk is being filled with random data.
 851 I also tested to install Ubuntu Raring, and it happen there too if I
 852 reenable the code to fill the disk with random data (it is disabled by
 853 default in Ubuntu).  And the bug with is already known.  It was
 854 reported to Debian as &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/691427&quot;&gt;BTS
 855 report #691427 2012-10-25&lt;/a&gt; (journal commit I/O error on brand-new
 856 Thinkpad T430s ext4 on lvm on SSD).  It is also reported to the Linux
 857 kernel developers as
 858 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51861&quot;&gt;Kernel bugzilla
 859 report #51861 2012-12-20&lt;/a&gt; (Intel SSD 520 stops working under load
 860 (SSDSC2BW180A3L in Lenovo ThinkPad T430s)). It is also reported on the
 861 Lenovo forums, both for
 862 &lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-Intel-SSD-520-180GB-issue/m-p/1070549&quot;&gt;T430
 863 2012-11-10&lt;/a&gt; and for
 864 &lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x230-SATA-errors-with-180GB-Intel-520-SSD-under-heavy-write-load/m-p/1068147&quot;&gt;X230
 865 03-20-2013&lt;/a&gt;.  The problem do not only affect installation.  The
 866 reports state that the disk lock up during use if many writes are done
 867 on the disk, so it is much no use to work around the installation
 868 problem and end up with a computer that can lock up at any moment.
 869 There is even a
 870 &lt;a href=&quot;https://git.efficios.com/?p=test-ssd.git&quot;&gt;small C program
 871 available&lt;/a&gt; that will lock up the hard drive after running a few
 872 minutes by writing to a file.&lt;/p&gt;
 873
 874 &lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve contacted my supplier and asked how to handle this, and after
 875 contacting PCHELP Norway (request 01D1FDP) which handle support
 876 requests for Lenovo, his first suggestion was to upgrade the disk
 877 firmware.  Unfortunately there is no newer firmware available from
 878 Lenovo, as my disk already have the most recent one (version LF1i).  I
 879 hope to hear more from him today and hope the problem can be
 880 fixed. :)&lt;/p&gt;

 894 Wheezy as a roaming workstation, and it worked flawlessly.  As I write
 895 this, it is installing what I hope will be a more final installation,
 896 with a encrypted hard drive to ensure any dope head stealing it end up
 897 with an expencive door stop.&lt;/p&gt;
 898
 899 &lt;p&gt;I had a hard time trying to track down a good laptop, as my most
 900 important requirements (robust and with a good keyboard) are never
 901 listed in the feature list.  But I did get good help from the search

 903 allowed me to limit the list of interesting laptops based on my other
 904 requirements.  A bit surprising that SSD disk are not disks, so I had
 905 to drop number of disks from my search parameters.&lt;/p&gt;
 906
 907 &lt;p&gt;I am not quite convinced about the keyboard, as it is significantly

 913
 914 &lt;p&gt;I look forward to figuring out how to turn off the touch pad.&lt;/p&gt;
