Bug#218560: debian-installer-demo: stops just after the language selection screen

[Andrea Tasso]

Package: debian-installer-demo
Version: 20031029
Severity: normal


 hi, I tried debian-installer-demo, but it does not work, it
 stops just after the language selection screen, I mean the next one
 opens, but when you ask to load modules, that is the only way to go
 on, it does not.
 I started it from a shell prompt, with my system up and running.
 I thought it could be a good tool to give a presentation about debian installation.
 thanks and bye
 Andrea

This usually means that you ran debootstrap twice without
reformatting the partition.  Try rerunning partconf.

[powermac] installation report gluck image from october 31

[Arnaud Vandyck]

Hi all! 

Many progress! Many thanks for the good job. 

Now the problems I faced:

- debootstrap stopped with error code 127.  I read the 
  /target/var/log/debootstrap.log:
ln: /target/usr/bin/awk: File exists

So I deleted the symlink in a shell (I cannot go to another console :(),
then exit and re-run install the  base system. A lot of packages seem to
have been installed but I got a debootstrap error code 1. In the log:
Errors were encountered while processing:
  amiga-fdisk
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found

I'll try tomorrow (heu...  well, later today ;)) with
DEBCONF_PRIORITY=normal

Cheers and many thanks for the good job!

2.6.0 kernel

[Daniel Burton]

Hi, has anyone considered making a version of the installer that uses 
the new 2.6.0 kernel?  I have a laptop that refuses to do a net install 
of anything without that kernel version (at least without a lot of 
difficult patching of the 2.4 kernel before I can do anything), and 
because of that, I'm interested in having a quick reinstallation route 
of "testing" in the event of disaster recovery  So if no one has 
worked on this yet, I'm interested in making a 2.6.0 installer (I also 
just made some patches to modconf so it can at least list and load 
modules on 2.5 and later kernels).

I thought this would be trivial and I could just change the 
KERNELVERSION variable, but then I realized the packages from 
debian-installer's sources.list weren't from the normal debian sources, 
and I wasn't quite sure where they came from or how they got generated.

(Sorry if this has already been discussed, but the mailing list archive 
search function doesn't like to search for numbers or periods [so 
"2.6.0" won't work].)

Failed PowerPC install

[Joe Drew]

I recently tried installing Sarge via the netinst image (file date
2003-10-08) on my 900 MHz G3 iBook. Some comments:
1) When I wasn't connected to the network, dhcp took a long time to
   time out. In the meantime, nothing was displayed on the screen.
   This should be changed: at least a message "Trying to gain an
   IP address. Please plug in an ethernet cable" would have helped.
2) After first set-up, I was dumped into pfdisk. No problem, as I
   then partitioned the free space on my disk into various bits for
   Linux.
   However, later I was asked to "Automatically partition my disk."
   This seems counter-productive - I want to keep OS X on my machine -
   so I answered no. However, apparently kernel install depends on
   having run the automatic partition (or something else, which
   failed.)
   I tried re-running installation of base, and debootstrap returned
   an error code. I guess it's not idempotent; however, after that
   I was utterly unable to proceed. I gave up and went back into OS X.

Please CC replies to me.

I don't understand what this has to do with base-config. What version of
debian were you installing?

Are you using the woody installer (boot-floppies) or the sarge installer
(debian-installer)?

[Elizabeth Barham]

Package: base-config
Version: 1.33.18
Severity: normal

When creating the partitions and subsequent mount points, I specified
/usr/local prior to /usr. This caused /usr/local to be placed in fstab
prior to /usr which then clobbered /usr/local when /usr was mounted.

I'm suggesting that base-config notice that a sub-mount point has
been specified prior to its parent(s) and/or some kind of ordering
takes place prior to writing fstab.

You aren't making sense.  You said that the problem was that the user wanted
the safe defaults and couldn't tell what they were.  I provided an idea for
a solution, which was to give the user an option to forget their current
configuration and confirm the safe defaults.  Now you're complaining that
the user has too much choice.

Writing a paragraph of text attempting to tell the user what the safe
default is, without making reference to any UI-specific widgets, is a waste
of time and space.  Changing the debconf interface for the purpose of
creating a horrific UI which attempts to present the user with three sets of
options for each possible question would be equally silly.

I thought the lag was only one or two days for CD builds. If you want
something quicker you will of course have to build your own..

As far as I know that was fixed in the CD's yesterday. I watched two
people do CD installs on IRC after the fix went in anyway.

Package: cdebconf
Severity: normal

cdebconf currently displays the short description from a template near
the top of the dialog box, in a special color. This is unlike debconf,
which puts the short description at the bottom of the dialo box, just
above the widget that the user can use to answer the question. I think
that debconf's behavior is better, because it encurages useful short
descriptions that can serve as prompts, and can be read in leu of
reading the whole long descrioption, to get the gist of the question if
the user is in a hurry.

For example, here is a template from debian-installer:

Template: cdrom-checker/start
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: CD-ROM integrity check
 Warning: this check depends on your hardware and may take some time.
 Are you sure that you want to continue?

This short description cannot stand on its own, and in a text-type
frontend, the display will probably be something like this:

 Warning: this check depends on your hardware and may take some time.=20
 Are you sure that you want to continue?=20

 CD-ROM integrity check _

If cdebconf worked like debconf (or if more people used its text
frontend), the natural thing would be to write the same question thus:

_Description: Do you want to continue with the integrity check?
 Warning: this check depends on your hardware and may take some time.

Note that currently in debian-installer, there are plenty of templates
using the first style, and plenty using the second. But there is still
time to fix them all to use a consistent style, and so I hope this
change can be made soon, so they get the *right* consistent style.

Note also that the exception to this rule is the note (and for cdebconf,
error) question types. For these, in debconf, the short description is
displayed at the top, same as in cdebconf.

Why not just make a policy that mkfs.* on d-i must all operate
noninteractively (with the possibility of using stdio for debconf if they
really need to ask a question), with a single argument that is the device
to mkfs.

Then mkfs.reiserfs would be a wrapper that calls the real binary, passing it
any  necessary flags. Or the binary itself could be modified in the udeb.
Either way, no debconf database (abuse?) is needed, just some quick
modifications of the udeb for reiserfs.

I think this needs to be fixed soon.

Well, that language sorting a really a problem. Currently, languages
are sorted more or less erratically, depending on the way the word
"Choose" is translated. 

This with a hungarian choice at the beginning with looks quite
outdated (but I don't speak hungarian at all...just an impression)

I have no really good suggestion for sorting languages there,
howevermaybe the current mess is the only solution.

Currently, I mostly focus on debconf stuff and really want to see how
templates look with the 0.48 version of cdebconf.

I may be wrong, but the current daily built CD image does not have
it. Am I wrong ?

Anyway, currently, any image i either grab or build fails to detect
the virtual CD in my VMWare machine. "modprobe ide-cd" fails...so I
cannot really test a lot of things

   * Denis Barbier
 - Sort translated choices when a select/multiselect template contains
   a line Listorder: lexicographic
   If some Choices items must not be sorted, they can be prepended with
   an exclamation mark.  Adding a comment is a good idea to let
   translators know why this sign has been put here:
 _Choices: ${FOO}, !Other[ You only have to translate Other, remove the 
exclamation mark and this comment between brackets]
   Currently text, newt, slang and gtk frontends support this feature.
 - Fix a crash with the newt frontend when a boolean question has no
   default value. Closes: #215583.
 - Let cdebconf newt frontend looks like debconf dialog: short description
   is moved just before input field, except for note and error template
   types.  Closes: #215582.
 - Make strlongest aware of wide chars.
 - Windows now adjust to text size with the newt frontend,
   * Steinar H. Gunderson
 - Makes cdebconf assume "show only unseen questions" by default,
   which makes it behave a lot more like debconf. This also makes
   unattended installs (ie. installs with pre-seeded debconf databases)
   possible without a non-interactive frontend.
 - Updated dpkg-reconfigure to make cdebconf show unseen questions,
   to keep it updated with the change above.

Re: Debconf Templates Style Guide

> Of course it would, and I would never recommend doing so.

So instead you're recommending an approach that forces the user to
choose *before* reconfiguring between
 a) not being told what the maintainer thought was a sensible default
 b) not being told how he has currently configured the package

I don't see why that would help anyone.

> No, you don't.  You just need a command line option to dpkg-reconfigure
> which says to forget the current/previous configuration.

Which is not terribly helpful to a user who wants to make an informed
choice *between* the safe default and his own prior customizations.

Quite possibly. I'm not arguing either way - just proposing that if my
memory of the "make fooconfig" guideline is correct, a document such
as yours would be a good place to stress that is was not really a good
one. Of course I realise that it would help if I could remember
*where* I read that guideline. :-)

Sometimes a long extended description *is* necessary to enable the
user to make an informed choice. FWIW, the case where I encountered
this behavior was a Boolean choice - I have not checked whether it is
specific to certain question types.

And how many permutations of links on this page giving no hint
where to find these disks

Do the math it is greater than 30^10... That is, greater than
5.9 times 10 to the 14th power Realistically, no one will scan
that many permutations, and so, they invariably cry to me for help

As stated, these people are not installing from a network, so there
is no logic in telling people to get diskettes from a network
install link. Purpose defeated...

Could you elaborate on that point? Most newbies will probably have PCs

You should win an award for the ultimate bug

Telling new users they can use installation diskettes
and giving no hint where one would obtain such a thing,
yet on your home page you clearly indicate where people
can download CD images! Those CD images are useless to a
newby without the bootup/install diskettes for people who
cannot go the network install route.

After all these years, we are amazed on our side to see
you still give no hint where these files can be downloaded.
For this we congratulate you on a job remarkably badly
done.

Bug#218485: hangs eating memory in pt_BR locale in xterm

[Joey Hess]

Package: cdebconf
Version: 0.47
Severity: normal

This is easily reproducible: Install the debian-installer-demo package
(version 20031029), and run d-i-demo in an xterm. Pick the pt_BR
language, and it hangs with a blue screen, with cdebconf's frontend
slowly (here anyway) eating memory and doing nothing else.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/joey>strace -p 11001 
Process 11001 attached - interrupt to quit
mremap(0x40106000, 7802880, 15601664, MREMAP_MAYMOVE) = 0x40106000

It does not happen if d-i-demo is run at the console, or if a different
language (English, French, German, Japanese, Norwegian Bokmaal) is
picked. Selecting pt_PT also hangs it.

What degree of workingness is involved in those right now? A complete
end-to-end install?

Yeah, this is bug #215210. You were running it in an xterm; if you run
it instead on the linux console you'll get a different and better
display of that list that is closer to how it appears in the real
installer. (Depending on the kernel you're running and whether the frame
buffer modules work.)

Somehow picking pt_BR breaks it. I can reproduce it, but only with that
language (and pt_PT); English and all other languages I tried work ok.
cdebconf is just mallocing more and more memory. It also only happens in
X, not at the console. I've filed a bug on cdebconf.

AFAIK it's the top-level image at

Bug#218472: cdebconf: conflict with its own dependencies

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package:  cdebconf
Version:  0.47
Severity: serious

The current cdebconf is impossible to install in unstable.  This stop
the package from entering testing.

The problem is that one of the dependencies for cdebconf depend in
turn on debconf, and cdebconf again conflict on debconf.  This make it
impossible to install the package.

The problem seem to be the libgtk2.0-0 and libpango1.0-0 dependency
for cdebconf.  One of the packages depending on debconf is fontconfig.
There might be other as well.

I'm not sure if this problem should be fixed in cdebconf, or if the
programs depending on debconf should be changed to depend on
debconf-2.0 instead.

Problem in debian-installer-demo

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Hi people

I've downloaded debian-installer-demo via apt-get, installed and tried 
to run.
First try, with a normal user: "It needs root..."
OK. root now.
Trying again, in a rxvt terminal on WindowMaker:

# d-i-demo


Selected Portuguese (Brazil). One problem (well, a small problem) is 
that the languages are not sorted alphabetically.
Pressed  and a big blue screen appeared on my rxvt terminal. 
No, it is not Windoze! :-)
It just stayed there, without doing nothing. Opening another terminal 
and using "top", I saw:

25576 root  25   0  6032 6032  584 R 97.8  67.0   0:03.23 frontend

It was eating all my CPU and my memory! Then my RAM finished and it 
started to swap.  It was getting so slow that started to be impossible 
of making anything.
And there was no response from d-i-demo
I had to click on the smal X on the right corner to close, because 
CTRL+C or any other thing was working.

So, what is wrong? I, d-i-demo, both?

Thank you very much

I'm not sure why you think the cd builds have more than 2 days lag.
They're built every day.

This does not supplant the daily builds. I see it like this:

last known working cd build:
For those who need it to just work.

images in the official archive:
For those who hope we might actually ship this as part of debian
sometime.

daily cd builds:
For those who need to test the latest stuff with minimal pain
and only 1 to 2 days lag.

daily builds:
For those who need to see the latest stuff with only 1 day lag.

build/ directory manual build:
For those who need it absolute bleeding edge.

mrvn branch manual build:
Even more bleeding edge.

After we start to freeze the installer, this will change to be as
follows:

last known working cd build:
CD image of the images in the official archive. For broad
testing, should always work.

images in the official archive:
Moving into the testing distribution, for broad testing, should
always work.

daily cd builds:
For those who need to test the latest stuff with minimal pain
and only 1 to 2 days lag.

daily builds:
For those who need to see the latest stuff with only 1 day lag.

build/ directory manual build:
For those who need it absolute bleeding edge.
(Probably including the mrvn directory at this point.)

Nope.. I'm not revving these images every day. It takes manual action
from the ftp master to get every single build in.

Bug#144452: The 30 Hour Wonder! 1907784052

[240235]

Cyalus comes in smaller doses and produces fewer side effects. 
Cyalus also works much faster than Sildenafil-based medications. 
In clinical trials, the majority of men who took the drug were able to 
engage in sexual intercourse within 30 minutes or less. 
The studies also indicated that Cyalus stays in the system 
for up to 30 hours. That's 26 hours longer than the traditional 
Sildenafil-based medications treatment. 

Test results showed that out of 700 participants at least 88 percent of men 
experienced improvement with their erections.

This seems to get the program to at least list and load modules,
though none of them have descriptions.

Boost Your Car's Gas Mileage 27%+.....keyanna

[Queen Brandt]

FUEL SAVER PRO

This revolutionary device Boosts Gas Mileage 27%+ by helping fuel burn better using 
three patented processes from General Motors.

Take a test drive Today - http://www.llat.org?axel=49

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY
A certified U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laboratory recently completed 
tests on the new Fuel Saver. The results were astounding! Master Service, a subsidiary 
of Ford Motor Company, also conducted extensive emissions testing and obtained 
similar, unheard of results. The achievements of the Fuel Saver is so noteworthy to 
the environmental community, that Commercial News has featured it as their cover story 
in their June, 2000 edition.

netinstall failed with error 127

[Vincent . Badier]

Hello,

I d/l last day the sarge-i386-businesscard.iso.
Install work fine, especially via authenticated proxy (this didn't work
with special char in login/passw), great!!

However, installation goes wrong with
a "base installation error. Bebootstrap exited with error 127".

In the last 7 lines of debootstart.log
i have :

Errors were encountered while processing
:
libgnutls7
exim4-daemon-light
mailx
at
exim4
/usr/bin/debootstart: 1: sleep: not
found

It seem that many dependencies have
not been installed. For example, in the first few line of this log, i have
:

Unpacking base-passwd (from .../base-passwd_3.5.4.i386.deb)
..
dpkg: base-passwd: dependency problems,
but configuring anyway as you request:
 base-passwd depends on libc6 (>=
2.3.1-1); however :
  Package libc6 is not installed.
Setting up base-passwd (3.5.4) ...


There are many warning like this. 
I tried to install both sarge and sid,
with the same problem.


Any idea?

Bug#213481: The 30 Hour Wonder! 1923597554

[240235]

Cyalus comes in smaller doses and produces fewer side effects. 
Cyalus also works much faster than Sildenafil-based medications. 
In clinical trials, the majority of men who took the drug were able to 
engage in sexual intercourse within 30 minutes or less. 
The studies also indicated that Cyalus stays in the system 
for up to 30 hours. That's 26 hours longer than the traditional 
Sildenafil-based medications treatment. 

Test results showed that out of 700 participants at least 88 percent of men 
experienced improvement with their erections.

Bug#218416: Latest sarge installer cannot format reiserfs properly...

[Clint Byrum]

Package: installation
Version: sarge-netinst-Oct-8-2003

The latest sarge installer (downloaded sarge netinst image on Oct 29,
2003, timestamp was Oct 8, 2003) hangs when trying to format any
partitions as reiserfs. This is because mkfs.reiserfs is waiting for
input. I was able to make it continue by echoing a 'y' to its STDIN
file.

The mkreiserfs command should be changed to include -f -f, which would
force the write.
