Re: Headaches while trying to test my own custom d-i modules
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Myself, I find it easier to include udebs I am testing on the initrd, even if they don't normally go there. However, if they depend on a lot of libraries, this can result in some large initrds, which may be a problem depending on how you're booting (and can require you to increase the initrd size kernel parameter to boot properly). This is what I tried and several others suggested me to do the same. However, my first tests were with partitioner...which needs fdisk-udeb for working. fdisk-udeb is huge (because of localisation files) and I never succeeded at making the initrd small enough... So I turned to another solution--loop mount of of manty's images, copy it somewhere, add my custom built udebs there in pool/mail, add a config file at the root and then run apt-ftparchive on all this. FInally, build an ISO image with build/dest ans this directory, combined to be the root of the ISO image. Seems to work well, except that cdrom-checker currently says that this CD is not a Debian CD. I have to look at it for learning what is the used criterion and adapt my stuff to it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using a 256MB keychain, partitioned as GPT with a 100MB fat16 partition, and the rest ext3.

In the processes of installing the base system, I got some unaligned access errors on the console. These were mainly from main-menu and anna. Really ought to fix these, use prctl to turn them off or maybe just turn down the dmesg level to make them not go to the console. I got the base system installed and selected the install kernel option. It presented a list of 4 available kernels. Selecting any of them immediately brought me back to the main menu w/ the install kernel option highlighted. I checked the /target drive, and no kernel was installed. I tried this several times before I gave up. I have some concerns about using devfs for the install. I'm told that after install you will not end up with a devfs system, but I couldn't get that far to verify. It's confusing to be presented with SCSI devices as host/bus/target/lun when you're really just expecting sda. I'm aware of all the naming problems with sdX, but using a deprecated interface doesn't seem like the way to work around it. My 2 cents.

d-i powerpc status report.
Hello, I have grabed the latest d-i builds from Thorsten, and i used the netboot image to build an builtin initrd kernel for chrp. I have not yet tried the cdrom image, but latest experiences provded that it may well be too big, altough the cdrom image might have decreased in size lately. So, i managed to boot it with the devfs=mount option, and it worked just fine. I think the subarch detection is still not working right, or maybe kbd-choser doesn't know about it, since i was presented with choice of only USB mac keyboards, while i use a standrard ps2 keyboard. the come back button did not work, and i miss a choice for searching in the arch-indep list of keyboards there. I promptly rebooted the box at this state, since i cannot afford to loose my harddisk another time right now. I will test this again once i have finished with the kernel RTC clock work i am doing right now, and which is needed for a true unified kernel between pmac, chrp, chrp-rs6k and prep. What about the beta2 readiness issue ? We have not yet talked about that. I believe that it should be almost ok, but i would like a comment from the pmac peoples. A few notes though : - oldpmac will not be supported. This is post beta2 issue, but kernel-wise everything should be ready for it. We need a powerpc-small image, and the needed stuff to build the miboot floppy images, as well as a quik-installer udeb probably. - chrp, crhp-rs6k and prep should be ok, once the builtin initrd is built, and if subarch detection works ok. I am ok with letting the builtin initrd stuff wait for post-beta2, since it is possible to build them by hand, but the detection stuff should be fixed before beta2. - power3 and power4 : no kernels are built. I will probably soon enable builds of 32bit kernels for those processors, and upload them to experimental. 64bit kernels would need support from gcc to build, and we are not yet there. - G5 pmacs : my kernel doesn't support them yet. maybe a new kernel, based on benh's 2.6 tree would be a solution there. Definitively post beta2 material. Also, on the kernel issue, we currently use 2.4.22, which has been patched for the security issues. 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 have been removed from experimental. But, the installed kernels should really be based on 2.4.23 or above, since these include recent drm modules, and the dri/xfree86 packagers have decided to not propose standalone drm modules anymore. I would ideally skip 2.4.23 and package 2.4.24, but herbert has not yet packaged these. Anything else i have missed ?

Bug#226730: Problem with wireless pcmcia network card and keymap
Hi, The translation stuff seems to be fixed, or will be fixed soon. However, I didn't see much response related to my network and keymap problems. For the networking: the problem (or a part of the problem at least) seems to be that during boot (rcS), PCMCIA isn't started. /etc/network/interfaces however contains auto eth0 and tries to run the dhcp client on this interface, before it is possible. The way to do it (according to the FAQ in the pcmcia-cs package), is to remove the auto keyword for PCMCIA network interfaces. When PCMCIA starts in runlevel 2, it will run ifup eth0 and get the network running. I'm not sure how this fits in the installer boot process but I guess you will need to handle this distinction between regular and PCMCIA interfaces. Another thing I noticed: At the first boot, hardware detection is executed. This causes the pcmcia and orinoco_cs modules to be loaded. I then get the screen asking me which network module to use. When I select orinoco_cs there, I get a red screen telling me there's no network card. I guess this is because modprobe orinoco_cs fails because the module is already loaded. If I select none of the above, I don't get an error, but I'm dropped to the menu where you can choose which installation step to perform. Selecting the hilighted step makes the install continue fine. The same thing happens when I use my pcnet_cs card. The keymap problem: the error I am getting is a bug in console-tools in testing and unstable.

Re: XFS support in d-i: netinst CD image available for download
Hi Robert, Thanks for the feedback! I think it's clear by this point where our biggest bug lies (mkfs.xfs -f) -- definitely a major issue for anyone not installing on a pristine disk... On Mon, Jan 12, 2004 at 01:46:43PM +1100, Robert Moonen wrote: Well, here's my experiences with the new installer in a nutshell. The first boot went nice and smoothly, then while it was downloading packages, I was reading stuff about appropriate partitioning schemes and decided to change the partition structure on the install. So I ctrl-C'd out and started it again. Well the first hurdle came up when I tried to initialize my shiny new partition structure through the installer; it baulked and wouldn't initialize the first partition. Apparently even though I had removed all partitions and made the root partition smaller, the mkfs.xfs proggie wouldn't work with it because it hadn't been invoked with the -f option, so something to add the the install script there. ;-) Right, because if the new partition starts in the same place as the old partition, the XFS signature is still there. After low-levelling the drive(scsi), I tried again, this time when I was setting up the sources.list file, I had to press cancel to go back and fix something up(still in the script though), well now when it got to tasksel, that wouldn't work, even though I knew tasksel *did* work from the previous iteration. Another script bug i'd reckon. Hmm, probably not XFS related. Can you elaborate on that wouldn't work? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The scripts used to build those images are still pulling in *your* published d-i images to create the powerpc CDs... :) AIUI, the Debian autobuilders won't ever be taking on the role of doing daily d-i builds; they'll only be building d-i when someone does an actual upload of debian-installer. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#221908: initrd image name
The generated lilo.conf also points to /initrd.img. However, at least after installing a new custom-built kernel-image, the links are named /initrd and /initrd.old, so lilo still complains on that. After having complained about the devfs issues, that is. I did not see that mentionned here, but since devfs is not mounted by default, lilo refuses to run. Not counting that the device names in lilo.conf are non-devfs ones... Obviously, mounting devfs and (temporarily) editing lilo.conf, just the time to reboot and edit lilo.conf back to normal (non-devfs), and things are OK again...

Most likely we will need to hack newt lib. then were should we start. 4. is there s CVS we need to check changes in and who should we talk to to give them the patches.

Oh, dear... this hasn't even had a proper implementation in gettext yet,

not all languages will let you decompose the msgid for separate

cp does not truncate existing destinations. That is, after
running
echo foo foo
echo fubar fubar
cp foo fubar
the contents of fubar are
foo
r
instead of
foo
This breaks debian-installer.
The attached patch fixes it.

Bug#227600: hostname asked twice, /target unmounted too early, default real name

Also, as in #227498, it doesn't work after reboot (unresolved symbol error in i82356.o). It asks me for my hostname twice. After loading the ethernet module, I enter the hostname. Then it tries to configure DHCP, fails, and I configure a static address - IP, netmask, gateway, DNS... and hostname again (showing the one I chose before). I installed the base system, LILO and then I'm at the Finish the installation and reboot screen. I realize I'd like to have GRUB instead, and press no (or go back or whatever it was) here. GRUB fails to install because the CD-ROM and /target have been unmounted already! I think the CD should only be ejected and /target unmounted if people actually select Reboot at the Finish the installation and reboot screen and not before. After getting the Installing GRUB in /target failed. message, I get into the main menu. However, the status bar from Installing GRUB boot loader is still in the background. Quite ugly. Pressing reboot in the Finish the installation and reboot screen, it tries to refresh the screen before rebooting, but doesn't actually refresh the whole screen (most of it is black, but the Go back and Reboot is still there). This laptop might be a bit slow, but not that terribly. After reboot: in the past, base-config would ask me if I wanted to create an user account. It no longer does this, which is fine with me, but it also does not ask for the real name anymore and creates an account with Debian user. We really shouldn't do that. I noticed that during base-config was running, the debconf priority was set to high and later it was medium. (Is it even base-config that does this? I cannot find the user creation code in there.) I tried aptitude for the first time. I only had a CD with main on it, and when I pressed on a section in aptitude it wouldn't actually show me a listing of packages straight away, but showed main first. This makes it really quite tiresome to use. Since surely 99% of users will only have main, aptitude should cope with this and not show main if there is only main to choose from. I also tried expert mode. Way too many questions are shown here. I thought I might use expert by default, but this is _really_ painful. During hardware detection, it asks me for additional parameters for _every module_! This is surely a bit too much, eve n for expert mode. Also, even though there is only one kernel package, it showed me which one to install and I had to press ok. You can argue about the latter, but the former is clearly insane. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#221908: initrd image name
Am Die, den 13.01.2004 schrieb Yann Dirson um 17:52: The generated lilo.conf also points to /initrd.img. However, at least after installing a new custom-built kernel-image, the links are named /initrd and /initrd.old, so lilo still complains on that. After having complained about the devfs issues, that is. I did not see that mentionned here, but since devfs is not mounted by default, lilo refuses to run. Not counting that the device names in lilo.conf are non-devfs ones... Which version of lilo do you use? At least the lilo version in woody works for me without problems on kernels that have devfs support, not mount it. AFAIK all Debian i386 kernel packages in woody have devfs enabled.

Re: d-i manual: content status report
Miroslav Kure wrote: I'd like to wake up developers and convince them to start writing missing bits of documentation. This is hard to do when you cannot build the docs and see how your change looks, so I was very happy to see your post to debian-doc about the stuff you have come up with to build the manual. Thanks to Chris Tillman's hard work we now have solid base for sarge manual written in DocBook XML (debian-installer/doc/man/en/ directory). I guess about 30% is still missing and we need some actualization. *If* Joey claims beta2 will turn into final in e.g. 3 weeks and Aj sets up another aggressive release date This seems fairly unlikely, but I cannot speak for aj. on stable, desire), where will be manual then? And how much time will be left for translators to catch up? If my memory serves well, official documentation for cds and www is built only once (just before the new stable is released). I don't see any real reason to do it that way, I would rather build the manual at least as freqently as the boot media and always have as current a version as possible on the cds and linked to from d-i's website. It is clear, that rewriting parts of documentation again and again just to reflect the current state of the installer is quite unproductive. I don't propose this. What I propose, is to write _now_ about stable parts of d-i which _won't change_ (or will change in very subtle ways) in the future. [e.g. With clear conscience I do recommend translators to begin with translating of the welcome chapter right now, because I'm convinced everything important is in and won't change]. I'm fairly sure that the following will not change significantly: - overall basic design, means of booting it and stuff like that - keyboard selection - network setup - udeb selection and retreival - base installation - ancillary stuff like running a shell, checking a cd, where the logs are, etc - base-config The following have a good chance of significant changes: - partitioning and formatting - language / country selection The following will probably change in small ways that should be easy to keep docs up-to-date for: - names of boot images - installer boot parameters (ie, we might get an xfs or 2.6 boot method) -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: d-i manual: xml status report
Miroslav Kure wrote: I did some proof of concept build system, which I use to verify my work on document xml structure. You can download it from http://www.debian.cz/~kurem/build.tar.gz. It consists of updated *.ent files according to point 2., file build.sh, which calls script buildone.sh for each language and architecture to build. (Here can go some management code like moving just-built doc to some safer location...). Buildone.sh sets up profiling and calls the right tools (change various variables inside to suit your needs). There are also three style-*.xsl files, which can be used to customize output. Just grab current debian-installer/doc/manual/en, drop it into the unpacked directory and run e.g. ./buildone.sh powerpc en. Used toolchain consists of xsltproc (.html and .fo) and fop (.pdf). I'm not a DD, so I'd like to hear your oppinion about this. I do understand we will need some DD to write nice build system, which will be flexible and much more dynamic, so don't bash my coding style, but the overal idea. I dunno, at the moment, you're the only volenteer, and you have something that seems to work. Maybe there will be something better later, but I would not mind having it in cvs alongside the manual so we can build it and make sure our corrections are valid xml. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#152152: FW:STOCK MARKET ALERT: QENC 2003 Third Quarter Net Income Rose 76.8%
OTC FIRST ALERT - New Public Company of the Month Symbol: QENC Market: PK Sector: Queench, Inc. BREAKING NEWS: Jan 8, 2004 -- Queench, Inc.(OTC: QENC)is now a full-time supplier of bottled water to the military. JERICHO, NY - Queench, Inc.(OTC: QENC) today announced that it has completed inspection and approval of its water bottling plants by the U.S. Army Veterinary Command (VETCOM). BREAKING NEWS: Nov. 13, 2003 -- Queench, Inc.(OTC: QENC) 2003 Third Quarter Net Income Rose 76.8%. The Third Quarter Net Income ending 9/30/03 increased 76.8% from the Q2, and a 987% increase year-to-year. Net income for the 9 months ending 9/30/03 resulted in a 1274% year-to-year increase. Jim Furey of Lehman Brothers says, You want to own small stocks versus large stocks when economic growth is accelerating, which is exactly the period we're in now. QENC is a small company perfectly poised to harness the $7.6 billion bottle water segment with a high quality premium brand priced competitively. The bottled water segment is the fastest growing of the beverage market. Of the $100 billion beverage industry, bottled water is nearly $7.6 billion annually, and forecasted to grow over 50% over the next 5 years. QENC has the best of both worlds, where unlike Aquafina and Dasani, QENC is high-end natural spring water, and unlike Evian, QENC is competitively priced. QENC's target consumer is health and beauty conscious including Gen Y, Gen X, and Baby Boomers who live a metropolitan lifestyle. QENC offers two fantastic product lines: Queench Natural Spring Water and the Queench Flavored Water Beverages, which are vitamin-enhanced and come in five cool new flavors: Coconut, O' Ginger, Red Raspberry, Pineapple and LeMon. DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING QENC bottled water is nationally distributed through SYSCO FOODS. SYSCO Foods is the largest food distributor operating 145 locations and has sales and service relationships with 420,000 customers including restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments, and more. This relationship provides key access to new markets with low capital requirements. Naomi Campbell's NC CONNECT integrated marketing agency, has signed to help QENC reach national and global consumers by providing marketing and advertising that will position QENC as a major lifestyle brand in the bottled water market. 01/08/04: QENC completed inspection and approval of its plants by the US Army Veterinary Command (VETCOM). QENC's been supplying the military contract in the South and Florida and the Army has been increasing orders on a monthly basis, which will result in higher Q1 2004 revenue. 12/03/03: QENC's strategically placing new eye-catching vending machines in locations on college campuses, retail, entertainment and sports venues and convenience stores. 500 vending machines installed in initial rollout in 2003 with approx. 2,500 vending machines to be installed in a 3-year period. The beverage-vending channel is typically highly profitable. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS 12/03/03: QENC is currently shipping over 54,000 cases of bottled water quarterly, with a year-to-date quarterly revenue growth rate of 19.7% QENC's NET INCOME for the Q3 ending 9/30/03 increased 76.8% from the Q2, and a 987% increase year-to-year. Net income for the 9 months ending 9/30/03 resulted in a 1274% year-to-year increase. QENC's SALES for the Q2 of 2002 increased 77% to $848,269 year-to-year, from $478,052, as a result of rolling out new product lines and implementing a channel development strategy. QENC's high quality premium water is priced very competitive, they have an excellent distribution channel with SYSCO and strategically placed vending machines, and a marketing campaign designed to focus on their target market. For a young company QENC has made substantial accomplishments and is poised to harness their segment of the $7.6 billion bottle water industry.

New aboot-installer package for alpha, translations needed
Just as an FYI for translators, the aboot-installer package (Alpha bootloader) has just undergone a major rewrite so that it can actually be useful for installing the bootloader. This means there are several new templates to be translated, and more to come. Since some of the templates have been cloned off of grub-installer with just s/GRUB/aboot/ for the English, I've tried to provide fuzzied suggested translations for these strings based on the GRUB originals. For most languages these still need to be reviewed by a translator, and there are other untranslated strings as well, but hopefully this will give people a starting point. I have a little more testing to do here and may refine the scripts a little, but otherwise I think what I've committed to CVS qualifies as beta quality; and this is the last piece needed for this arch to be installable, so I'd like to upload soon.
