Dear wiki user,
You have subscribed to a wiki page "Debian Wiki" for change notification.
The page "DebianEdu/HowTo/Debian2DebianEdu" has been deleted by WolfgangSchweer:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/Debian2DebianEdu?action=diff&rev1=48&rev2=49
Comment:
outdated and obsolete
- This page should describe the steps needed to turn a debian etch installation into a debian-edu etch installation.
- == the description ==
- Add the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
-
- {{{
- deb http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux etch local
- deb-src http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux etch local
-
- #
- # You can also use etch-test instead of etch.
- # etch-test is what is "unstable" in Debian, quoting http://www.debian.org/releases/
- # "The «unstable» distribution is where active development of Debian occurs.
- # Generally, this distribution is run by developers and those who like to live
- # on the edge."
- # So use etch-test at your own risk!
- # See http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ArchivePolicy for more information.
- #
- }}}
-
- Create a config file /etc/debian-edu/config, this is needed by debian-edu-install the file must contain at minimum a PROFILE entry
- profiles can be "Thin-Client-Server" "Workstation" "Main-Server"
- {{{
- #example from a thin-client-server
- NONINTERACTIVE="true"
- PROFILE="Thin-Client-Server"
- LANGCODE="nn_NO:nn:no_NO:no:nb_NO:nb:da:sv:en_GB:en"
- LOCALE="nn_NO"
- }}}
- As root, run
-
- {{{
- apt-get update
- apt-get install debian-edu-archive-keyring
- apt-get upgrade
- apt-get install debian-edu-config debian-edu-install
- }}}
-
- Comment from HenningSprang: somehow, even if I installed the keyring package, I got messages about non-authenticated packages.
-
- FIXME: it is necessary to install some other binaries built from the source package debian-edu - it needs to be checked which ones exactly
-
- Make sure you have enabeled update-hostname with a file called /etc/default/update-hostname, and run it with `/etc/init.d/update-hostname restart`. This ofcourse assumes that you are in a working Debian Edu enviroment (debian-edu bind), If you are actually installing a main server try setting the hostname to tjener.intern manually.
- {{{
- #/etc/default/update-hostname
- ENABLED="true"
- }}}
-
- install the tasks using
-
- {{{
- aptitude install education-tasks
- }}}
-
- Install all the needed education-* packages, using tasksel install ... For ldap and homedir access you will need education-networked and education-common.
-
- Comment from HenningSprang: For example for getting to a mainserver (not checked if that is fully working, but services are running now), I did:
-
- {{{
- tasksel install education-main-server
- }}}
-
- After you have installed the tasks you can execute the cfengine run (as root)
- {{{
- # this require the fqdn in the /etc/hostname, that update-hostname provides.
- cfengine-debian-edu -D installation
- }}}
-
- Restart all kinds of services, or simply reboot the box.
-
- Check the debian-edu installation (as root) to assure everyting is working like the Debian Edu developers expect it to to be:
-
- {{{
- # untested, needs confirmation. (If you do this and this works, please remove this comment.)
- debian-edu-test-install
- }}}
-
-
- == comments from trying to work by this documentation ==
- === Comments from RonnyAasen testing this ===
- Successfully converted a Debian etch install into a Debian Edu Workstation using these instructions
-
- === Comments from HenningSprang testing this ===
- (The script below is probably outdated, I've got stuff working as described above, I kepp it for some time in case some interesting stuff is missing. This paragraph can be removed after 2008-01-01 if the above description is tested to work well without any additions)
-
- My current "buildscript" is as follows - but I am not yet there to have a really working main server yet, there is some more stuff missing, and I have to find out what's needed:
-
- {{{
- TARGET="./chroot"
- ROOTCMD="chroot $TARGET"
-
- debootstrap etch chroot/ file:///hier/media/software-repository/mirrors/debian-etch
- # use your own local debian mirror here
-
- sudo cp fstab $TARGET/etc/
- sudo cp sources.list $TARGET/etc/apt/
- sudo cp resolv.conf $TARGET/etc/
-
- $ROOTCMD apt-get update
- $ROOTCMD apt-get install debian-edu-archive-keyring
- # did not work
- # manualy installed with gpg
- $ROOTCMD apt-get upgrade
-
- mkdir /etc/debian-edu
- echo "PROFILE=Main-Server"> /etc/debian-edu/config
-
- $ROOTCMD apt-get install debian-edu-install debian-edu-config
- $ROOTCMD apt-get install education-common education-main-server
-
-
- # Install the task:
- $ROOTCMD tasksel install education-main-server
-
- $ROOTCMD cfengine-debian-edu -D installation
-
- # just for my own setup:
- $ROOTCMD useradd -m henning
- $ROOTCMD passwd
- $ROOTCMD passwd henning
- }}}
-
-
-
- To test this in Qemu, we'd need to install grub into a locally created qemu disk, which I could not get accomplished.
-
- Things like losetup and kpartx -v -a might help, or copyying a bootsector from an existing disk.
-
- This is how far I came now, I did not test this a lot, vut have put it into a FAI config now. There is surely some more stuff missing.
-
- === Comments from KurtGramlich ===
- * apt-get install education-mainserver did not result in any reaction
- * I don't see an LDAP running at the end
- '''answer from ronnyaasen:'''
- apt-get can not install task files. you need to install them with aptitude, or with {{{tasksel install ...}}}
- === Comments from PaulChanyi ===
- Please explain the following line in the config file:
-
- LANGCODE="nn_NO:nn:no_NO:no:nb_NO:nb:da:sv:en_GB:en"
-
- I know that that nn, no, nb, da, sv, en are the langcodes but still not understand how to write this line in to mine config file for langcodes: hu, en, and sr?
-
- One more question!
-
- I use Debian Backports for the linux-image 2.6.26-bpo.1-686 #1 SMP, so is this a problem for Debian2DebianEdu system conversation?
-
- Thanks!
-
- '''answer from ronnyaasen:'''
- * LANGCODE is identical to the debconf value {{{debian-installer/language}}}
- * I run backports kernel myself on some new hardware have not seen issues (related to edu)
-
- Thanks!
- Must the hostname be exactly the abowe mentioned "tjener.intern"?
- I have a FQDN: csanyi-pal.info registered.
- Can I use it instead?
-
- I get these errors when run sudo debian-edu-test-install:
- {{{
- error: ./bind9-dns: Unable to look up '10.0.2.2' on server 'localhost' ('' != 'tjener.intern').
- ..

- }}}
- How can I solve these problems?

- == Comments from Nigel himself on DebianEdu MailingList: ==
- ''Ref. to http://wiki.skolelinux.de/PhilippHuebner/customTerminalserverLenny''
-
- Philipp, thanks for writing that, and Ralf for connecting me.
- I followed it, with some minor changes (eg. repos) and it works (almost)!
-
- * in /etc/network/interfaces I had to add
- {{{auto eth0}}}
-
- * Since I installed amd64 lenny, I had to do
- {{{ltsp-build-client --arch i386}}}
-
-
- * Sound on thin client. I notice you have pulseaudio in lts.conf, but you
- haven't installed pulseaudio. When you do, you get sound (but not in
- flash, even though the extrasound plugin is installed)
-
- * strange colour depth problem on the thin client. Apps appear to be using
- 16bpp, but KDE wallpaper is horrible, maybe 256 colours (the login splash
- is beautiful). Haven't tried to fix yet.
