Hmm, I think lilo should be installed at lilo-installer stage rather
than debootstrap. Users who want to choice grub may not want to
install lilo.

You might try downloading a daily build of the CD image (see the d-i web
site for a link), and boot it passing debian-installer/framebuffer=false
as a kernel parameter at the boot: prompt

boot: linux debian-installer/framebuffer=false

It sounds like a problem with the keyboard and that would help rule out
anything in the area of the framebuffer. 

Also, see if you can switch virtual consoles with alt-f2 etc. If not,
it's surely a keyboard problem of some kind.

Hello.

I think I've just found typo in one of templates of debian installer but
I am not sure so I'd like to ask you before I'll do any commits ;)

"A valid hostname may contain only alphanumeric characters and the minus "
"sign. If must be between 2 and 63 characters long, and may not begin or end "
"with a minus sign."

I think there should be "It must...", but as I said I'm not sure about it ;)

Booting with Qlogic Fiber Channel Cards

2003-12-19 Thread Caleb Clark
Hi, i hope this is the right list.

Anyway. I have a Xiotech Magnatude SAN. I have been using the Qlogic
2200F HBA's. I boot my HP Proliant DL380's from the SAN with Debian
3.0R1 (Works GREAT!) using the bf24 kernel, and the qlogicfc.o module
fromt the drivers.tgz file. That has been working great for quite a
while.

Anyway, the Qlogic 2200F was discontinued, so i had to buy the next card
up, i got the Qlogic 2314 (said it had linux drivers) and it does, i can
build a kernel with the driver in it, and all seems well. But im having
a really hard time getting Debian installed on the machine. Just
wondering what we can do to get a module for this. 

What i think i need is a module for this card built on the bf24 tree (so
i can insert it at boot) But i have had a hard time getting the versions
right for the boot CD.

The other thing is, i could build my own boot CD with my own kernel on
it. I know i can get the debian installer stuff from CVS, but i havent
been able to download it, keep getting "connection refused".

side note, if there is a need for someone to work with SAN stuff for
debian. I would be willing to do some work in this area, ive been
working with Debian on the Xiotech Magnatude for allmost 2 years now and
have quite a bit of experiance with it.

Thanks in advance, 
-abraxxus

total freeze at language chooser

2003-12-19 Thread Peter van Rossum
I've just bought a new laptop (HP Pavilion ze4540us) and am
to install sarge on it.

I've downloaded the beta-1 installer; it boots ok, but at the
language chooser screen it locks up completely. No response 
to any keys whatsoever anymore. Does anyone have an idea 
where I start looking for the problem?

Some research results:
  * I've tried to install woody with the old boot-floppies
as well. Works without problems.
  * However, if I tell the old boot-floppies to use a 2.4
kernel, I get the same effect as with the new installer:
a total freeze at the language chooser screen.
  * Installing woody and then changing the kernel to a 2.4
kernel works ok.

I'm trying to figure out myself what is going on, but I'd
appreciate it if someone had an idea :-)

Actually, it's emacsen-common. There is already a bug (#115116) asking
to remove the delay, but then the message would not be seen at all.
I've just asked the maintainer that he at least reduce the delay from
3 seconds to just 1.

Couldn't we just fix debootstra? Of course this would also work, but
there is no reason for pcmcia-cs to be in base.

I have never quite understood why mbr is installed as part of base.
Note that lilo-installer does not apt-install lilo, so it would need to
be changed to do so before adding lilo to such an exclude list.
Don't see any reason to install ipchains by default.

/etc/mailname

2003-12-19 Thread Andries . Brouwer
A few days ago I installed a Debian system (V3.0r1).
When emacs is invoked it says "No /etc/mailname. Reverting to default..."
and waits for 3 seconds. Of course this is very undesirable.

It is easy to solve this.

Solution 1:
# echo "Debian is broken" > /etc/mailname
#
Solution 2:
# ed /etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el
1849
/(sit-for 3)/s///
w
1838
q
#

Something is broken. Probably this must be regarded as a
bug in the Debian installation process.

At first sight the problem seems to be that /etc/mailname
does not belong to any package, so that there are no dependencies.

The fact that it does not belong to a package also makes it
more difficult to use http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ that wants a
package name.

I know about this, and I still have some doubts about hotplug becoming a
kitchen sink hardware detection subsystem. I like the idea of it
automatically loading drivers for all PCI, USB and input devices (i.e.
about everything on a modern system), but I do not want it to become
bloated.

If the kernel does not provide plug events for these devices then you
can as well (and probably more easily, as the hotplug code is a mess and
forces you to use only POSIX sh code and commands outside /usr) write a
standalone tool which enumerates these devices and do something
appropriate.
Moreover, it's probably wasted time to bother being smart about some
kinds of legacy devices:

- serial mice and printers
- ISA cards

These devices are not common nowadays, and people who own them probably
know enough about linux to load whatever driver is needed.

Something to configure printers would be cool, but it should be tied to
CUPS, not to hotplug.
All modern printers are USB devices, so a possible way to support
autoconfiguration would be adding the USB VID/PID to the foomatic
printers database. IIRC recent parallel printers had some kind of ID
too, so it may be easy to autoconfigure these too.

Monitors are already detected by the X postinst script, so I'm not sure
about what you are looking for.

/sys/bus/pnp does enumerate the serial and parallel ports on my system.

 o Detect parallel ports. Load the drivers first, then probe them.
 o Detect serial ports. Again, load the drivers first, then
 o Detect monitors on video cards.


These are not jobs for hotplug, as the kernel does not provide plug
events for these devices.
  
  
Plug events aren't provided for boot-time devices, they are enumerated,
and all of their plug events are synthesized by their hotplug
.rc scripts. Currently tty devices are enumerated as a class
under /sys/class, but not as bus devices. Parallel ports aren't
enumerated at all. I will look at enumerating platform and ISA bus
devices (I haven't tried the ISA PNP driver). PCI VGA cards are
enumerated, and get hotplug events if you have a hot-plug PCI. Once we
get an event for them, I think it is OK to query them for their monitor.
  
  

 * Add udev to the installer.


It's not even remotely ready for production.

There seems to be an invalid character in one string of the de.po file for
this package.

The attached patch puts the (I guess) correct character.

This will break the current system.

From the find manual page:

 find searches the
   directory tree rooted at each given file name by evaluating  the  given
   expression  from  left  to  right, according to the rules of precedence
   (see section OPERATORS), until the outcome is known (the left hand side
   is false for and operations, true for or), at which point find moves on
   to the next file name.

The _and_  _or_ stuff is important. Take look at this example:

# mkdir kanweg
mir-CHROOT:~
# cd !$
cd kanweg
mir-CHROOT:~/kanweg
# mkdir a b c
mir-CHROOT:~/kanweg
# touch a/a.o a/a.ko b/b.o b/b. b/b.ko c/c.o
mir-CHROOT:~/kanweg
# find . -name *.o
./a/a.o
./b/b.o
./c/c.o
mir-CHROOT:~/kanweg
# find . -name *.o -name *.ko
mir-CHROOT:~/kanweg
# find . -name *.o -o -name *.ko
./a/a.o
./a/a.ko
./b/b.o
./b/b.ko
./c/c.o
mir-CHROOT:~/kanweg
#


This means that there was time spent on the patch, but it is rejected.
You are welcome to send an other one.

debootstrap exclude file

2003-12-19 Thread Kenshi Muto
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I read Bug#221907 is reported by Joey, and saw
base-installer.postinst.

postinst checks /cdrom/.disk/base_exclude, but it means this exclusion
only enable on CD install.

How about following patch?

+ EXCLUDE="--exclude=pcmcia-cs(,and other exclude packages...)"
  if [ "${EXCLUDES}" ]; then
- - EXCLUDE="--exclude=${EXCLUDES}"
+ EXCLUDE="${EXCLUDE},${EXCLUDES}"
  fi

For example, debootstrap --arch i386 --print-debs sarge shows:

IMHO, at least mbr, lilo, pcmcia-cs, and ipchains don't need to
install at base-installer stage.

(Personally, I don't want exim4, nvi... I love postfix and vim :-) )

Hello folks,

The current priority of question ask witch disc should be used is

Bug#224493: partconf: msgid "Create %s filesystem" is provided, but isn't used.

2003-12-19 Thread Kenshi Muto
Package: partconf
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

partconf provides "Create %s file system" for translatable message,
but this message isn't used.
I saw "Create ext2 filesystem", "Create ext3 filesystem" and "Create
reiserfs filesystem" in English instead of local language (Japanese).

I think fs_to_choice or other routine in partconf.c has a problem.

Well, as far as i see, the problem is about the devfs stuff, and i guess
this will need a consistent amount of work to fix it. If someone feels
like doing it, fine with me, but i guess most d-i people are
concentrating on other stuff.

No more translations sleeping in the BTS

2003-12-19 Thread Christian Perrier
I digged around in the BTS in order to find any "sleeping" translation
there.

I only found a few german translation from Jan Lübbe which all has
several fuzzy or even untranslated strings.

I asked Jan, in the corresponding bug reports, to check these
translations.

There was also one slovenian translation for aboot-installer, which
was outdated anyway. I asked the translator for an update.

So, there are currently no complete translation sleeping in the Bug
Tracking System.

File doc/translators.txt is outdated

2003-12-19 Thread Christian Perrier
This file lists the packages for which something is to be translated.

A few packages are missing in the "Common udebs" section :

tools/baseconfig-udeb
tools/lvmcfg
tools/autopartkit



Some other packages are not listed, mostly those for boot loader and
"exotic" architectures support (architectures for which the
debian-installer is currently not tested). I suggest to list these in
"Future architectures udebs":

tools/aboot-installer
tools/ia64/elilo-installer
tools/hppa/palo-installer
tools/mips/arcboot-installer
tools/sparc/silo-installer
tools/yaboot-installer
tools/s390/netdevice

If this is OK, I may commit the changes accordingly.

...because it's a main-menu-item: The English expression for your

"Finish" still not translated in partitioner

2003-12-19 Thread Christian Perrier

#218912 which is tagged as pending

Unfortunately, the change in main.c which I'm talking about in the bug
report has not made it into the build tree.

I propose commenting the following line in main.c ()line 158)

asprintf(&choices, "%s, %s", choices, "Finish");

And then, add "Finish" to the templates file:

_Choices: ${DISCS}, Finish

patch attached (including french translation update and debconf-updatepo
run)

Does anyone disagree ? This will add one string to be translated.

Expect commit this evening (UTC)

Re: Status of the images for CDs and DVDs

Sounds like a good idea, but we should have tested cd images before that, if
you want I can build ones and test them here on a machine that I know was
failing to boot beta-1.

Current installer seems to be behaving well, I've been installing several
machines from dvd lately without any problem, so maybe when we have /cdimage
setup again we can build images and select some to be moved out of the daily
directory so that they are our official testing images, or is a beta-2 near?

Also, we need a list of the people who reported that kind of bug, I only
have:

Jeffrey Barish
Jan 'Miernik' Macek
Barrie James

I've been looking at the installation reports and only found those with
booting problems, anybody gets any others?

I did, but upstream is very slow at accepting patches.
I also removed all bashisms.
If there is any interest, maybe next month I will setup an arch

These are not jobs for hotplug, as the kernel does not provide plug
events for these devices.

It's not even remotely ready for production.

This is a very bad idea, because more and more modern hardware will
require 2.6 kernels. If it's OK to support 2.2 kernels (!) for doorstops
then if there is somebody willing to do the work we should officially
support 2.6 kernels too, even if as a bf26 boot option.
A few days ago I fixed most .o/.ko issues, only kernel/linux-kernel-di/
still needs some work.

By the time sarge is going to be frozen 2.6 kernels will be mature.

d-i feedback

2003-12-19 Thread rajkumars
Hi,

I installed Sarge, Nov-17 (unofficial) and noticed a few problems, though not any 
thing major. 

1. Their is no way to skip lilo installation, or to add the configs to another 
harddisk's boot config. I have 2 hard disk, one my production and second on which I 
was using for testing. BIOS is configured to boot from the first hdd, using grub. 
Idealy it should have added this config to my primary hdd, but atleast I should have 
an option to skip lilo installation so that later I can add to the grub in primary 
hdd. 

btw, why is grub not included in d-i?

2. d-i do not asks if I want to use a static ip or dhcp. It checks for dhcp first and 
then waits for options from where I select configure network manually.

3. When choosing CD installation, the /cdrom is not mounted automatically. The reason 
is that fstab has wrong entries. the entry in fstab for /cdrom is /dev/hdc, while it 
should have been /dev/sr0. Mounting /dev/sr0 from a second console and hitting enter 
in the first console prompt solves this problem.

Last but not the least, a big thanks from me to all d-i developers for all your hard  
work :)

  I believe that the reason in
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-release-0308/msg00025.html still
  applies, unfortunately. Fixing that would be up to the stable release
  manager (and I have no idea why it hasn't been done already - perhaps
  the right people simply haven't noticed).

The gist of that URL is that the only place where we currently have the
source for boot-floppies 3.0.23 is in unstable, and that's the version
of disks-* currently in the stable release.

I second that proposal.
This bugreport is to get it on our TODO list.

I believe that the reason in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release-0308/msg00025.html still applies,
unfortunately. Fixing that would be up to the stable release manager
(and I have no idea why it hasn't been done already - perhaps the right
people simply haven't noticed).

Should be, but:

  $ grep-excuses base-config
  base-config (1.75 to 2.01)
  Maintainer: Debian Install System Team
  Too young, only 3 of 5 days old
  Not considered
  Depends: base-config debconf (not considered)
  $ grep-excuses debconf
  debconf (1.3.20 to 1.3.22)
  Maintainer: Joey Hess
  10 days old (needed 10 days)
  debconf (source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, 
s390, sparc) is buggy! (1 > 0)
  Not considered

(#223039 doesn't look like it should stay serious, really ...)

Hello! Mary is sending you her regards. Hope you are well too.
Can you belive that I got 30 fixed mortgage this
