Hi. I am happy to report that the Debian Edu Jessie installation is working again. At least to the point where it is possible to test the desktop.
The partitioning issues are fixed. It was caused by API changes in parted affecting several partman related udebs. See <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/757417 > and related issues for the details. There is a new issue blocking reinstallation, which I work around by wiping the virtual disk and starting with a fresh disk. Someone need to address <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/757818 > to fix it. The pkgsel issue (installing debian-edu-install switched to systemd) is fixed. I believe the fix was that the default boot system on Linux is systemd, but am not sure. The grub issue was probably me misunderstanding how grub work. I expected grub to figure out where to install itself when the machine only had one hard drive. It no longer does, and the issue is reported as <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/712907 >. :( When writing/selecting /dev/sda on the prompt, grub installation work for me. After boot, the boot hang because of <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/754218 >. A workaround is to boot using init=/bin/bash and apply the patch provided in <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/757767 >. After this, the boot no longer hang. We need to update debian-edu-config in Jessie to fix this properly. The connection to the LDAP server do not work after boot. The pynslcd package is not working. No idea why, but running 'apt-get install nslcd' solve it. Someone need to look into what is going on here. After these fixes, Minimal and Workstation installation work (I have so far tested those and Main-Server). Main-Server do not work because of <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/757558 >, soon to show up in Jessie.
