Skolelinux-intervju: Frode Danielsen
+
27th February 2012
+

I serien med intervjuer av folk i +Skolelinux-miljøet møter vi +denne gangen Frode Danielsen, som er leder for en IT-virksomhet som +passer på IT-løsningen til flere kommuner i Hedmark-området, der noen +av dem bruker Skolelinux i dag.

+ +

Hvem er du, og hva driver du med til daglig?

+ +

Daglig leder i Hedmark +IKT. En interkommunal IKT-virksomhet for Stange, Nord-Odal, +Kongsvinger, Grue, Løten og Hamar kommuner. Vi er 32 ansatte

+ +

Hvordan kom du i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet?

+ +

Vi har vært i kontakt med Skolelinux-prosjektet i flere +sammenhenger, blant annet gjennom et par piloter som ikke har ført til +noe konkret resultat. Nå sist gjennom satsingen på skolelinux i Grue, +Kongsvinger og Nord-Odal.

+ +

Hva er fordelene med Skolelinux slik du ser det? +
Hva er ulempene med Skolelinux slik du ser det?

+ +

Jeg tror alle løsninger har fordeler og ulemper, litt avhengig av +hvilket ståsted du selv har, så jeg unnlater å svare på dette.

+ +

Hvilken fri programvare bruker du til daglig?

+ +

Ingen for min egen del, men vi har noe fri programvare i våre +løsninger.

+ +

Hvilken strategi tror du er den rette å bruke for å få +skoler til å ta i bruk fri programvare?

+ +

Jeg tror ikke man skal ha en slik strategi. Man bør ha en strategi +basert på å løse fremtidige behov, og velge løsninger som støtter opp +under dette.

Handling non-free firmware in Debian Edu/Squeeze
-
27th January 2012
-

With some computer hardware, one need non-free firmware blobs. -This is the sad fact of todays computers. In the next version of -Debian Edu / Skolelinux based -on Squeeze, we provide several scripts and modifications to make -firmware blobs easier to handle. The common use case I run into is a -laptop with a wireless network card requiring non-free firmware to -work, but there are other use cases as well.

- -

First and foremost, Debian Edu provide ISO images for DVD and CD -with all firmware packages in the Debian sections main and non-free -included, to ensure debian-installer find and can install all of them -during installation. This take care firmware for network devices used -by the installer when installing from from local media. But for -example multimedia devices are not activated in the installer and are -not taken care of by this.

- -

For non-network devices, we provide the script -/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/auto-addfirmware which -search through the dmesg output for drivers requesting extra -firmware. The firmware file name is looked up in the Contents-ARCH.gz -file available in the package repository, and the packages providing -the requested firmware file(s) is installed. I have proposed to do -something similar in debian-installer (BTS report -#655507), to allow PXE -installs of Debian to handle firmware installation better. Run the -script as root from the command line to fetch and install the needed -firmware packages.

- -

Debian Edu provide PXE installation of Debian out of the box, and -because some machines need firmware to get their network cards -working, the installation initrd some times need extra firmware -included to be able to install at all. To fill the PXE installation -initrd with extra firmware, the -/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/pxe-addfirmware script is -provided. Again, just run it as root on the command line to fill the -PXE initrd with firmware packages.

- -

Last, some LTSP clients might also need firmware to get their -network cards working. For this, -/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/ltsp-addfirmware is -provided to update the LTSP initrd with firmware blobs. It is used -the same way as the other firmware related tools.

- -

At the moment, we do not run any of these during installation. We -do not know if this is acceptable for the local administrator to use -non-free software, and it is their choice.

- -

We plan to release beta3 this weekend. You might want to give it a -try.
