hi,
whoops, that should have been gone to -devel, not to -users :)
as discussed in teh edubuntu meeting in #ubuntu-meeting on IRC
yesterday, i would like to put a default lts.conf in the next edubuntu,
so we have some things set to sensible default values and the users will
find a lts.conf file in place they can edit (often users dont understand
they have to create the file since its not needed by default in ubuntu
ltsp)
i'd like to put in the following global values and would like to hear
some feedback with pro/con on them:
X_COLOR_DEPT=16 (imho a sane default, saves a lot bandwith and memory of
the client and avoids garbled splash screens on cards that dont support
24bit but are run at this depth)
SOUND=True (the logic of the sound implementation is smart enough to
fail gracefully if there is no usable sound hardware in the client, so
it will wirk automatically on systems that have valid soundcards and
just do nothing on other hardware)
USE_NBD_SWAP=True and SWAP=64M (not implemented yet, but will be along
with the fully-automatic-swapserver implementation thats targetd for
edgy. it will create a 64M swapfile per running client on the server
(which means you need 1.2G extra disk space on a 20 client server, but
it will lower the memory requirements for client machines signifcanly,
32MB out of the box should work with it))
LOCALDEV=True (local devices by default ... depends on having the
swapspace mentioned above for ower specced hardware)
thats all for now, please suggest other values if you think they should
be in there.
ciao
