Bug#131118: [i386/udma100-ext3] fails to install from IDE floppy

[David Kimdon]

Hi Wojciech,

Have you had a chance to test current bf2.4 flavour images to see if
this bug is fixed?  You can find current images here:

ftp.debian.org:/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-i386/current/

the bf2.4 flavour should have the necessary drivers.

Thanks,

David

Please try "ldd `find /your/extract-dir-xyz/`| less" and find the
reference to libslang.so.1. I though I have fixed the roodisk creation.

This should never happen, and it apparently does not (note that lib
reduction *misses* this library). I guess that some binary/lib still
depends to it. Maybe you should update your CVS tree.

This file is gone.

I dunno. Try with a fresh CVS snapshot please.

You can remove the

archive/debian/download/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_sid_*

files only, so the embedded apt will fetch a new list and consequentaly
new packages.

debian/rules clean does, it's somewhat of an inconvenience for me. I
thought/hoped/assumed the version numbers would be checked and have
been copying the files to a safe directory for recycling.

I should loan you guys my modem. You would then appreciate my efforts!

It does no version testing?  Whoops! I am trying to avoid making the
large download on every clean build. 

Also, instead of "make" I'm using debian/rules. Is this wrong too?

some special casings which should no longer be necessary

[Junichi Uekawa]

I am seeing in rootdisk.sh:

# i386 can't reduce libnewt if we're in LANG_CHOOSER mode
if [ "$arch" != "i386" -o "$USE_LANG_CHOOSER" != "true" ]; then
rm -f $R/usr/lib/libnewt*
fi

Could this have been fixed with the recent transition?

My guess is that you want to use 'dpkg-checkbuilddeps' rather than
'make check' because of:

Yes, and no.  If we want to use 'locale charset', the locale must be
valid at that point.  To make that happen, my suggested patch to make
sure the locale is valid must be moved into termwrap, before choosing
which terminal to use.

Is this a good idea?  I think so, and will make and test a new patch.

I think jfbterm is EUC-JP.  For UTF-8 you will need a different terminal
emulator, like our very own bterm.

You are correct that termwrap should be inspecting the character set
that goes with the current locale, not the language code itself. 
Something like this, I guess.

We certainly should settle on one or the other.  I have a slight
preference for "hostname", but I don't care that much.

I stand corrected. It was aimed to fix some things I already had fixed

introduced other errors. So, my request to run patches by me still
stands.

makiing boot-floppies in a clean chroot

[John H. Robinson, IV]

i feel dense :/

i have boot-floppies in a clean woody and sid chroot. they both pass
make check with no problems.

but for make, they both fail at the same place:

i18n_low_space=true  ./rootdisk.sh "" /archive/debian/download 3700 3.0 "" C ""
I: internationalized mode enabled
... snip of uninteresting stuff ...
I: determining set of required libraries
E: the following required libraries weren't extracted: /lib/libslang.so.1
E: ./rootdisk.sh abort

looking through the list of stuff in scripts/rootdisk/ it seems to pick
up slang1 (which has /lib/libslang.so.1) in EXTRACT_LIST_non-i18n

since this is an internationalised mode, i assume that it is picking up
on 
EXTRACT_LIST_i18n:slang1a-utf8
EXTRACT_LIST_i386_non-i18n-mixed-build:slang1-utf8

and i guess that neither one of those has the /lib/libslang.so.1
symlink.

how to fix, and am i the only one that is seeing these problems?
and if so, _why_ am i the only one?

`host name' vs. `hostname'

[Matt Kraai]

Howdy,

I am pleased to report that earlier today I was able to install
Debian Woody on my iBook2 using the new-powermac flavor without
any serious problems.  However, I did find some minor issues
that I'd like to fix.

Which term is preferred, `host name' or `hostname'.  The
boot-floppies use both on the same screen, and some consistency
would be nice.  FOLDOC lists it as one word[1,2], but the
hostname manual page uses two.  Any preference?

It is not set at the moment.  Should LANG and LANGUAGE be set in
/etc/environment or /root/dbootstrap_settings?  Both?

I suggest changing termwrap like this to make sure it is used no
matter where it is:

That way the LANG variable will be available as intended.

But termwrap do not seem to check the charset, only the language.  How
is the charset chosen when using jfbterm?  Is it just pure luck, or is
there something else involved?  For Japanese, there are two valid
locales, ja_JP.UTF-8 and ja_JP.EUC-JP.  Which one will be used?

more LC changes

[Philip Blundell]

I've done a certain amount of violence to the various language
definition files (dbootstrap/langs/*.src) this afternoon.  This reflects
the new purpose of language subvariants, which are now intended to
reflect territories and not keymaps.  If your chosen language has only
one variant (e.g. german.src, which defines only de_DE) you will no
longer see the second level dialogue box.

The parser now ignores "arch" tags.  All variants are offered on all
architectures.  In many cases, there were several variants that seemed
to differ only in their keyboard map and were consequently redundant;
I've deleted these.

Also, I went through and amended some more locale strings.  The majority
of languages should now have three-element "language_TERRITORY.CHARSET"
strings.  I switched Euro-using countries to the Latin9/Latin16
character set variants and added @euro modifiers to the locales where it
seemed appropriate.  I've also arranged for en_GB to use the Latin9
character set; some other latin1 countries like Sweden and Denmark might
want the same but I will leave it to people with local knowledge to make
that decision.

Bug#123948: can someone test the patch?

[David Kimdon]

Hi,

I no longer can make CDs here to test these fun cdrom problems.  If
there is anyone out there who can test the patch I posted earlier in
the report that would be helpful. 

Thanks,

David

Code cleanup and patches to fix the test code

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Someone should apply the following patch.

 - Correct prototypes and return values
 - Make it easier to test different translation codes in release_notes_test
 - Avoid crash in net-fetch_test on internationalized build with no
   lang availabe (and remove wasted goto).
 - Make sure the terminal is reset when exiting from net-fetch_test

Each architecture specifies which version to use independent of
the others.  If it doesn't work on your architecture, don't
specify it.

I'm hoping there should be a release within a few days,
and then another release, after that gets some testing.

We should have a better mileage in the testing phase since we 
have fixed  slang/newt installed, and expect to
hear some more real bugs that people could not experience
due to immediate white-screen-of-death.

I don't know whether it's related to the original report, but I just
noticed that (with disks built from CVS a few minutes ago) the CD-ROM
drive is mounted immediately at startup, even while you're sitting at
the language chooser screen, and apparently left that way.

The code in find_debian_cdrom() only seems to umount the cdrom if it
decides that it's official.  This looks like a bug; I'll check in a
patch a bit later.

I've got an impression that make clean doesn't seem to clean up the 
downloaded deb files ?

Maybe my copy of cvs checkout is too much hacked.

"make clean", now! It seems that you have the old broken modconf release
in the download directory.

Same here, "make clean" before building. I fixed this yesterday.

Remember 2.4.18 has a bug which will make it not to work fine in non-i386
architectures when executing statically-linked files. Either use
2.4.18rc4 (which does not have this bug) or wait for 2.4.19. (Or, of
course, use 2.4.19pre1, available now :) )

Eh? There's nothing particularly difficult about .18 is there?

I'm expecting at least one more release of boot-floppies, probably
mid-March to include all the last minute bugfixes, and the current kernel.
I'm not really expecting us to need anything more than that.

aj

My appologies. i386, procedures as per the README-CVS. I made these
changes to config:

arches := i386
USE_LANGUAGE_CHOOSER := false 
KBD := qwerty/us

Booting the resulting set of 3 floppies, then picking "net" to
configure modules, nothing appears and it just returns to the
"Exit. Finished with modules" screen.

I looked on the drive and the modules had been unpacked just fine, most
likely I could insmod them manually. A previous version had the same
problem, but I finished the install and tried modconf afterwords with
complete success. For some reason it only fails during the install.

This is my first experience with both CVS and the boot-floppies.

At the moment, last night's cvs update is failing to build due to
complaints from util.c :

util.c:1177: `mirror_country_map' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c:1177: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
util.c:1177: for each function it appears in.)

I have installed woody yesterday with the 3.0.20cvs1-2002-02-26 compact
boot floppies on an old 486er (DX2/66, 16 MB, no CD-ROM) without a problem.

Would be nice:
-It would be nice if for example the german/whatever keyboard layout
 would be default if german/whatever is choosen as language, if this is
 not too complex.

Optical:
-The messages from the modul installation is written about the other
 stuff
-the same for mkfs
-after choosing the device for LILO (for example /dev/hda) the next menu
 is shown about the old thing

Question:
What is done, when the following message is shown:
"Validating
 
/target/var/lib/apt/lists/debootstrap.invalid_dists_woody_main_binary-i368_Packages.gz"
this took 7 minutes on this system

The installation of the base packages took about 40 minutes, this is a
bit long, but it works.

The boot-floppies are getting better and better.

Please tell us, do we have a chance to start using kernel 2.4.18, at
least on i386 before the final Woody release?

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
