Bug#271638: Checking Indonesian translation of netcfg
For Indonesian translators, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271638 The bug reporter (Rahmat M. Samik-Ibrahim) mentioned he had a glitch in the Indonesian translation when DHCP configuration is successful. He mentioned that the id translation says the DHCP failed. When looking at netcfg templates and translations, I see this: Network autoconfiguration failed translated to Otokonfigurasi jaringan gagal And Network autoconfiguration has succeeded translated to Otokonfigurasi jaringan telah berhasil. Of course, I have no way to say whether this is correct or not..:-) Can you please check this ? --

Bug#282588: RAID-Installation failed
Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: 20041118 Hi, I just installed a machine with the most recent installation floppy set (continuing with ftp.de.debian.org as the online debian mirror). I was quite happy to see that the installer supports the configuration of software RAID devices from the first installation and made use of it. But then the auto-installed 2.4 kernel did not boot because it did not know how to treat RAID partitions. RAID is obviously not compiled into the kernel. Since at this stage of installation it is not possible to modify the ramdisk, I had to completely restart the installation. Therefore I propose one of three solutions: - Print a warning that the system can't boot from RAID with this kernel - Have the maintainer of the kernel packages compile them with RAID built in - Include the raid modules in the initial ramdisk. regards Hadmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#282354: install: dhclient sends and accept improper request/offer
On Tue, Nov 23, 2004 at 12:39:26AM +0100, GISQUET Christophe wrote: D'oh, contradicts my reportbug title. Let me rephrase this: dhclient requests a 192.168.0.X IP on its eth1 interface. Server is configured to give 192.168.1.X IPs on its eth1 interface, and 192.168.0.X on its eth0 interface. It accepts this request (see end of mail). A DHCP-discover does not request any ip, it asks for one. Is it possible that the server have a lease for this mac? Please provide an example of the dhcp request and response packets. Sorry again, but I'm too unfamiliar with DHCP ports and tcpdump to know how to dump those packets. tcpdump -ni $interface udp port 67 Once I noticed that it is 192.168.0.0 that replies, I've decided to check the server's dnsmasq.conf: both interfaces had the mask 255.255.0.0. Could this be the cause of the problem, and a misconfiguration only on the server side? In such case, I doublely apology for falsely reporting that and marking it as important. Both 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 is included in 192.168.0.0/16. Bastian -- Phasers locked on target, Captain. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hello, I'm in trouble in installing the x-window-system. I selected it from the dselect, tried to install it but didn't get any effect. When I go back to the dselect I see two marks on the left of the package: one mark corresponds to the O (which means Old Mark) and the other corresponds to the M (which means Mark). Now, I read in the dselect guide that this means that the package is physically not available, but this sounds very stange to me, since I bought the seven Official CDs (Debian Woody 3.0r3) plus the Debian Extra CD.

The only problem was that I could not do anything without reverting to my old woody CDs: I have a dialup connection to the internet and could find no way to set it up, in order to connect and download packages; the installer seems to assume that the computer is permanently connected. You might consider adding wvdial and maybe sources.list samples to the installer iso. The installer did detect the modem, so doing the little extra necessary to configure a dialup connection should be routine. As a wish-list, I would like to see an installer having an option suited to a single-computer workstation with a dialup connection. I would be willing to help, although my skills are limited to planning and documentation. My experience as a new user was mainly concern over dealing with exim, mutt, and fetchmail to get the mail configuration right. For the average home user who is not confident of what he is doing, a few default settings, together with appropriate dialogs, should be enough to set up usable configuration files. -- Bob Parnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#282650: netcfg: incorrectly configures DNS when preseeded with static address
Package: netcfg Version: 1.07 Severity: important Using the rc2 businesscard image, remastered to include a copy of my preseed file (no other changes). The DNS settings are incorrectly configured - the nameserver entry seems to always get set to subnet+1, even if I specify something different. Here is the snippet of my preseed file: d-i netcfg/disable_dhcp boolean true d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 192.168.1.5 d-i netcfg/get_ipaddressstring 192.168.1.169 d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 192.168.1.5 d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true After the network is configured, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces both show 192.168.0.1 as the nameserver. Obviously, this causes the rest of the installation to fail since it can't resolve the mirror hostname. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.6 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Found my local mirror on a few tries and also found ftp.us.debian.org and other ones I tried as well. Okay, onto the issues: On first install from CD-ROM, I was very impressed. Until I got to the aboot installation. It failed. I had selected the Multi-User guided setup. It could not write the aboot to the bootblock and partition #1. I could do a manual install of aboot, (swriteboot -f1 boot/bootlx) but the point was to have it done automagically. Would not do it, time and time again. I switched to using one partition for / and one partition for /boot, and one for swap. Of course #1 for aboot. And voila, it installed perfectly. This is not the way I like my machines setup, but for now I'll deal. I installed kernel-image-2.4.27-1-generic. It installed OK, but the sym53c8xx module would not load at all. It would not detect the card. I even passed along boot parametrs to get things work, no go. (This I believe is a kernel bug). The funny thing is the installer was using 2.4.26-something. This lead me to try kernel-image-2.6.8-1-generic (v2.6.8-8). I know about v2.6.8-9. I booted from tftp again and did a chroot into the just install system. I installed the 2.6.8-1-generic kernel and rebooted. That booted really well, except for this sym0:0:0:M_REJECT to send for : 1-2-3-1. was scrolling everything off the screen. Eventually the machine locked up. This was all before the base config was completed. So I ended up booting the installer again and doing a chroot into the installed machine and added ' sym53c8xx=debug:0x80 ' to the boot lines in aboot. That allowed me to boot proper into the base-config at first boot and quell 99% of the debug info. Once I got the machine to boot proper, I have edited aboot.conf to appear to work similarly to update-grub. Someone (if I can hack it) should consider doing a update-aboot script similar to update-grub. It would make things much more simple. It would allow to update the kernel without having to futz with the aboot.conf and hope you got it right. There are some limitations in aboot.conf, but those could be written into the script. Then you could also use this script to actually help the people maintain or change the auto-boot sequence in SRM as well. Also, some explanation of the whole SRM auto-boot setup should probably be discussed during the aboot install. Not that it is hard, just that some people have really never had to deal with SRM. Only ARC (for Windows NT on Alpha). There are even fewer people that have done a conversion from VMS-AXP to Debian Linux
shared SCSI install
Hi, Yesterday evening, I tested the debian-installer rc2 on a shared SCSI system i.e. node1 (no internal disks) node2 (no internal disks) box with shared SCSI disks (both nodes connected to the same bus) Some notes: * To avoid interference: - SCSI BIOS on node1 sees only SCSI IDs 2 and 3 - SCSI BIOS on node2 sees only SCSI IDs 4 and 5 * The bootloader sees what the SCSI BIOS presents i.e. 2 disks. * Linux itself recognises the 4 disks on each host[*] [*] I don't know how I can tell Linux to ignore some disks. As node1 was already installed some time ago, I only installed node2. Installation took place on /dev/sdc and went fine. At the end however, there is the question to install grub in the MBR or not. I wondered what _the_ MBR was as both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb were already bootable (RAID1 setup). As I was installing on /dev/sdc, I thought that it would setup grub on the MBR of /dev/sdc, so I confirmed. I saw that grub-install was called on hd0 so I knew something was wrong i.e. it was writing to the MBR of /dev/sda. I corrected the problem on node1 and installed grub manually on node2 (/dev/sdc) using a grub floppy. Question: Wouldn't it be good to present a list of disks so that the user can select the disk whose MBR should be changed? cu, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg fingerprint: A41E A399 5160 BAB9 AEF1 58F2 B92A F4AB 9FFB 3707 gpg key id: 9FFB3707 Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. -- Henry Spencer pgpZdq4g3gqTz.pgp Description: PGP signature

RE: help with install on Dell SC420 / SATA / Sarge / netinst / at a_piix
Hi Geert, Thanks for your reply. I guess this is where some of the newbie questions come in. 1) What is the netboot image, how do I use it, and where do I get it from? Does this method actually require that I do a network boot? If so, do I somehow copy the netboot files to a second computer and point my SC420 to it at bootup time? 2) How do I get the 2.6 kernel? What is the connection between stable/testing/unstable and the kernel? For example, is Sarge based on 2.4 and unstable on 2.6? 3) Even if I am able to follow your instructions and install, is what I found below still a bug? Should I log this bug? If so, how?

Bug#282588: RAID-Installation failed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed a machine with the most recent installation floppy set (continuing with ftp.de.debian.org as the online debian mirror). I was quite happy to see that the installer supports the configuration of software RAID devices from the first installation and made use of it. But then the auto-installed 2.4 kernel did not boot because it did not know how to treat RAID partitions. RAID is obviously not compiled into the kernel. Since at this stage of installation it is not possible to modify the ramdisk, I had to completely restart the installation. Therefore I propose one of three solutions: - Print a warning that the system can't boot from RAID with this kernel - Have the maintainer of the kernel packages compile them with RAID built in - Include the raid modules in the initial ramdisk. AFAIK raid is fully supported by the initrd installed by the installer. At least I've put root on raid several times and it worked for me. I think we need more details about how it didn't work for you. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I will say this is a smooth installation. Kudos to the debian installer team! 2.

This happened to both manual and automatic installation. 3. During automatic installation, an empty root password would cause the installer trapped in a endless loop of alerting insecure empty root password. 4. The apt setup kept contacting security.debian.org and made the automatic installation interrupted. I don't think it a bug, but really hope to go around it. (Use a proxy?) 5. Exim is slow to start and reload. (I know it's not a bug) 6. The installer seems only add one additinal user. I specified 3 in the preseed but only got the last one. :) 7.

Bug#282677: kbd-chooser: Defaults to none for keymap when debconf priority is critical and language has no default keymap
severity 282677 normal thanks Quoting Christian Perrier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Package: kbd-chooser Severity: important I use the important tag here for enhancing that this bug should be worth being fixed before the release. When a given language has no default keymap set in console-data for a given arch/keyboard type and the debconf priority is set to critical, then the value of console-keymap-xx/keymap is set to none and kbd-chooser then tries loading the none keymap, which fails. This bug can be reproduced for instance by booting d-i with: linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=critical languagechooser/language-name=Arabic This bug is *not* related to recent changes in console-data and happens with D-I RC2 (which has console-keymaps-* from testing). After investigation, it happens that this only breaks non interactive installs and drop them to priority==high...so this is not that important. A quick fix seemed to be defaulting the keymap question to critical...but this is exactly a change made recently by Colin and later reverted by Joey becauseit broke non interactive installs. In the situation described above, kbd-chooser fails with cannot load file none. Below are the discussions in #debian-boot about this problem: 20:52 Kamion bubulle: which bug is that? 20:53 fjp Kamion: #282677 20:53 Kamion and where's the high? :) 20:54 * fjp doesn't know either 20:55 fjp Kamion: maybe s/critical/high/ ? 20:55 fjp But that's default, so doesn't make much sense... 20:58 Kamion fjp: and it's what I committed recently and joeyh had to revert because it broke preseeding 20:59 fjp Right. Let's ask bubulle to check the changelogs... 21:48 bubulle grmbl 21:48 * bubulle reads kbd-chooser changelog..:-) 21:50 fjp bubulle: can't you just preseed the keymap (or add it on command line)/ 21:50 fjp ? 21:50 bubulle the problem in kbd-chooser seems to be a bad handling of default values... 21:50 bubulle fjp: of course I can 21:51 bubulle fjp: anyway, the bug probably doesn't deserve an important severity 21:51 * fjp agrees with that. 21:51 fjp bubulle: How does keymap=none fail? 21:52 fjp I thought that was a supported value that is equivalent to US 21:53 bubulle fjp: well, I don't exactly know but it fails..:) 21:53 bubulle the log says kbd-chooser: cannot open file none 21:53 fjp You mean keyboard does not work at all anymore or is it just that message? 21:54 bubulle a workaround is probably setting a good default for each language 21:54 fjp Or maybe just not try to load a file if value is set to 'none'... 21:54 bubulle well, after the error message appears, you're dropped to debconf priority=high and you get the keymap choice list 21:55 fjp Which is OK for interactive installs... 21:56 fjp bubulle: Do you also have kbd-chooser: not setting keymap (kbd == none selected) in the log? 21:56 bubulle but not for non interactive..:-) 22:00 fjp bubulle: I think we need a test for keymap = none in these lines near the end: 22:00 fjpdi_info (choose_keymap: keymap = %s, keymap); 22:00 fjp keymap_set (client, keymap); 22:00 fjp state = QUIT; 22:00 fjp and not call keymap_set in that case. That would continue the installer with the default US keymap. 22:01 fjp IMHO that should be OK for critical installs. 22:03 * bubulle wonders if having the value still set to none may not be bad later 22:03 bubulle could be bad should I've said 22:03 fjp like prebaseconfig? 22:03 bubulle yep 22:04 bubulle anyway, I think we can leave this alone at this moment 22:04 bubulle I will probably add more defaults in console-data so that languages which do not have any default kbd default to us 22:05 fjp debian-installer/keymap would be unset; but the check could also be added inside keymap_set. 22:06 bubulle yeah, why not 22:07 bubulle I propose to paste all this in #282677 and leave this post-sarge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Short: everything went fine. Long: This machine is our main NFS, YP, SambaPDC, Cups, DNS(local), and DHCP-server. It serves about 10 workstations and 5 laptops. Most of them are using windows, but I'm working on it. At least I wanted a new version of samba and Cups. Kernel was taken from sarge for a long time, because of no support for tg3 on woody. What I've done: Logged in through ssh ;-), backup-ed /etc, removed preferences with pinning to stable. Changed sources.list to a local mirror (because of speed), made apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. Negated all changes to configuration files (see above programs) and half an hour later I got a new system. The only problem I encountered, was rejecting of double-sided printing on three printers. Reconfigured them with new ppds from cups and everything went fine again. I'm very impressed! Never saw such a simple upgrade, like within debian. Thanks a lot for your good work.

I think we need more details about how it didn't work for you. Configuration went very well, but when rebooting the kernel complained that it doesn't know how to handle partition type fd (RAID). I didn't have the time to find the details, therefore I reinstalled the machine without raid, made a new kernel with RAID built in and then installed the raid manually. The kernel did not know what to do with fd partitions and aborted, so either the kernel could not get the ramdisk from a raid partition or the ramdisk didn't plug in the raid1 module properly. As far as I remember there is a problem with raid as module: The kernel might not detect partitions by itself and need an explicit call, as done by the debian raid package in /etc/init.d To reproduce the problem, simply install a machine (doesn't need a second disk, just make a raid-1 out of a single partition, second missing) with the current debian floppies and wait for the reboot. Machine will not boot. But I don't remember whether the machine hung before or after accessing the ramdisk.

Looking at this again I got a little brainstorm and I think _this_ should be the real cause of the problem :-) Looking at the template, I noticed there are only 43 Choices-nl, but the Indices-nl runs from 1 to 46!

Bug#282670: Package: installation-reports
After selecting language etc. the installer quits with message stating wrong cd or can't read from cd. This is an ongoing problem inherent to previous installer cd's. I've tried them all. Going to a shell prompt, the cd is mounted. This is not a cd read/write problem. Multible cd's tested. The installer appears to lose the cd at this point i.e. it cannot be tested and the only thing to do is abort. I think this might be a problem that at root is due to some CDROM drives not working well with DMA access to them turned on in the kernel. It seems to happen with Dells quite a bit.

how to install extra packages through proseeding
This seems to be a dumb question but so far I have not figured it out by searching documents and email lists. The preseeding example (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apcs01.html) only says the following words: You can also choose to install no tasks, and force the installation of a set of packages in some other way.. I am just wondering what is such a some other way. Should I do some post-install scripting for this or there exists something configurable in the preseed file? In Redhat's kickstart, specifying additional packages is very simple. Just list the package names in %packages section. Hopefully the debian installer can do something similar as well.

Can you please advise if 1) this is a good idea for sarge - I take it from this message that the answer is clearly yes, and 2) if anything is missing or should be omitted - the changelog should be ... Assuming the answers are 1) yes and 2) no, I should be able to get new images up in the next day or so, certainly by the end of the week. Well, every kernel updates requires a new build of d-i and so is best avoided if that's possible. However, I don't see how we can release the current kernel when it has a known security issue (the race conditions in linux terminal subsystem, CAN-2004-0814). Also, I couldn't find anything in the changelog about the ELF loader vulnerabilities (see http://lwn.net/Articles/110486/). How severe are those two issues? They certainly seem severe enough to warant a new release before sarge. We don't actually have a patch for the ELF loader problem in SVN yet. I will address that ASAP and get back to you. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
