I tried this using the same module on an already-installed system, with the same results. This must have something to do with running half-duplex, because it's worked fine on previous installs on a 100MB connection. My current Woody system using Broadcom's GPL bcm4400 module works fine and gets an IP immediately. Two ways to fix this: - Switch to Broadcom's bcm4400 driver (it's GPL) - Upgrade to a later kernel which might(?) include a less buggy b44 driver -- Joel Konkle-Parker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Is this the case, or is there an actual bug involved? It was never developed to support stable, so it is at best a wishlist bug, which will most likely be ignored..

Bug#228288: iso-scan: iso-scan exits before doing anything useful
Package: iso-scan Version: 0.11 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi there, I was trying to install Debian from my USB camcorder (since the HOWTO says you need 128 MB, and my USB key is 64 MB only). My laptop is rather old and doesn't support booting from USB. So I booted off floppy, plugged the camcorder in, and pressed Enter. But I couldn't go past the "Scan for ISO images" step. Line 103 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/iso-scan.postinst reads: , | modprobe loop >/dev/null ` It seems that on this bootfloppy-image.img (dated 2004-01-02, but I can reproduce with the 2004-01-17 one), the loop module can't be loaded. Typing "modprobe loop" on tty2 only replies "modprobe: failed to load module loop", and returns 1 (non-zero) as exit code. Therefore that line fails, and the whole script exits before doing anything useful (see "set -e" line 3). The immediate workaround I used to be able to claim that I installed Debian on my laptop from my camcorder was to add a "|| true" to line 103. I'm aware this might not be the best fix, but it's a workaround that will work until the loop module can be modprobe'd. Using nano on the system being installed, I was able to continue along the installation process. I have no idea why "modprobe loop" fails. It seems to be loaded already, but in normal situations that doesn't make modprobe fail. Anyway. Feel free to retitle/reassign this bug to some more appropriate package.

Ok, I've applied this patch locally and it works fine with the 2.6.0-2 image from the archive. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's very slow for some reason. This is in the discover app itself it seems, not the init script. Have you had this problem as well? I'm going to commit this change to the discover cvs repo on alioth. If someone running 2.6 would please download discover and test it to see if the slowdown is present? Slow support is better than no support, so I'd like to see this patch present in the d-i release, but I'd like to know if I need to try and find the source of the slowdown or not. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I gave it a try. I really like the new language chooser, it feels clean and simple. I don't know whether the country codes on the left column (and especially the "C") will puzzle users who are not familiar with that convention. countrychooser does not support backing up, and if I choose English, I get "Andorra" as a default country, which is not the best default. If I hit "u" for "US", it goes down one line the the UAE. I hit it again and it jumped all the way down to the rest of the u's. Minor outlying islands of the US are listed before the main country. For some reason, after choosing United States, kbd-chooser defaulted me to a Bulgarian keyboard. Why? Well, in the shell, debconf-get debian-installer/country says "UM". Not "US". I'm sure I did not pick the outlying islands; I went back and tried it again and still got UM. Probably a substring match bug. Of course I doubt that residents of the Midway Islands use Bulgarian keyboards either.. ;-) In the code: Is sourcing these countrycodemap, countrymap, programs really necessary? I would write these as subroutines. It would also save space to move the countrychooser program into the package's postinst. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Translations and changelogs
Hello! Considering changelogs: according to the current documentation, it is necessary for the translator to update the package's changelog, being aware of releases and that other error-endangered tasks. I, for my side, have definitely forgotten to update the changelog somewhere :) So my question is, wouldn't it be possible to make these changes automagically, at the release of the package? I imagine it this way: Each translation has a "PO-Revision-Date:"-Field. Each changelog file has a "Release"-line with a release date in it. Can't we have a small script (I guess, even I could write one), which parses these two dates (for each tranlation), compares them and using a hash of available languages pipes the changes into "dch -a" before the release. I guess this would work good enough and would be just one additional command for the maintainer, while it would require the translators to have 'devscripts' installed on the system. The good thing is: PO-Revision-Date doesn't get updated by msgmerge, so templates' updates wouldn't matter! -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I belive that all the seen flag setting code currently in d-i is now
unnecessary. debconf/showold is set by default in d-i, so cdebconf will
happily redisplay all questions repeatedly. So we should probably rip
all the seen flag setting code out, both to simplify, to save a little
space, and to better allow for automated installs.

I had the same problem when I tested the new debian-installer using Dutch as the language. tzsetup indeed works fine in English, but in Dutch there's this problem. It can be reproduced by running: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tzsetup -y It turns out that in ___, the option Asia is missing for the Dutch translation of template tzconfig/geographic_area. So, if you pick "Europa", you get Australia, and to get Europe, you have to pick "Indische Oceaan", which should give you Indian Ocean. -- Matijs van Zuijlen signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Gaudenz, i have to shatter your illusions here, yaboot-installer does nothing such. Now that the new -5 powerpc kernels have been used in linux-kernel-di, i decided to give the installation a try on my pegasos box, and here is what happened : I easily built the initrd enabled kernel using the netboot initrd (the cdrom one is too big). I booted it with the devfs=mount option, and it worked well. First problem appeared as i got to choose the keyboard. Only USB-pmac keyboard were available, while i need ps2 keyboards. This resulted in me choosing the USB-pmac french keyboard, which worked some, but either Alt or the function keys were not mapped, so i couldn't switch to the second console. Which gives : Problem 1 : keyboard selection = => Easy solution. Propose both ps2 and USB-pmac (and maybe amiga for apus) keyboard as choice for powerpc. I think the oldworld adb keyboards get emulated as USB-pmac ones, so this should be no problem. Someone with oldworld hardware would have to confirm though. Then everything went well, there was some issue with my sym53c8xx scsi card not being detected, so i could not test the partitioning scheme on my scsi removable disk, but i guess that this should be ok, since i can use parted. Problem 2 : partitioning = => I don't know if parted is used on all powerpc subarches, but i guess it could at least be possible. I called parted by hand from a shell (and thus discovered that Alt+F2 did not work) and it worked well. That said, maybe there is some message or something which should tell the user what kind of partition table should be chosen, depending on subarches. So, i chose a partition of my main disk, taking the risk of again losing everything, and proceeded with the install. This went well, upto the point where yaboot-installer was to be run, and naturally complained about no apple bootstrap partition or something. Problem 3 : bootloader = => Here the bootloaders, quik for oldpmac, yaboot for newpmac, nothing for the other subarches, need to check for the subarch. This can be done by either the isinstallable script, or the libd-i arch detection code. I guess that the best would be the creation of smallish udebs for the other subarches without bootloader, which could simply tell the user that there is no bootloader for its subarch and the steps needed to boot the final kernel. This could include information on where the kernel has been installed and such. Ok, this is mostly what needs to be done to enable support for chrp, prep, chrp-rs6k and chrp-pegasos powerpc subarches. Not really all that much. I rebooted the box by chosing "finish and reboot", altough the french translation let me a bit dubious about if it was the right thing to do, but i will tell that the french translation team once it is done, and then proceeded to reboot into the partition by hand. And there i faced the last problem, well most probably a bug or something, i was simply presented with a login prompt, and i had not the root password to enter it. Normally at this time, it should have booted in the post-d-i install process, and proceeded smoothly with the install. Why this happened has me trully baffled, but i couldn't do much, for lack of root password. > > As these little udebs are really small it does not really matter much if > > the get installed by anna or not.

While deciding whether to install base-config or get rid of passwd, I read the package description of base-config and noticed, "It can be removed with no ill effects". Well, if I upgraded and then removed base-config, passwd would be removed as well. The passwd package is, however, essential for my system. My suggestion is: Remove the line "It can be removed with no ill effects". Add the line, "However, this package can not be safely removed." at the end of the description. It also strikes me that the package is misclassified. It makes no sense that a required package (passwd) should depend on an optional package (base-config).

Status of the cd building (NEW: bootable cd images for hppa)
Hi! I'd like to let you know that we now have netinst bootable images for hppa, with that one, we are having 5 arches with bootable cds, that is however only less than half of the arches we have, so we still miss a lot of them. I'd like to thank Thorsten Sauter for his work on hppa (as well as other arches) as he was the one pushing hppa cds forward by making the d-i builds and telling me what to do to make the cds bootable ;-) There are even some problems with two of these 5 arches, namely hppa and alpha, their programs to make the cds bootable (palo and isomarkboot) are failing to work with the DVD ISOs as they are too big, if somebody can help with sorting out these bugs (#228229 and ...) it would be great. Well, aside all that, I'm thinking in how could I reschedule the full cd set and dvd set builds, as now it takes really long to build and I cannot build all cds in the same day like we used to do. So I'm wondering... should I spread the build throughout the week? or would it be better for gluck if I could build the most each day and have the machine building cds all day long during 3 or 4 days?

We prefer the functions in libparted to mkfs.* because using libparted it is possible to show the user progress bar. However libparted doesn't support ext3 hence the solution is to format the file system as ext2 and convert latter to ext3 using tune2fs.

Debian-installer and European languages
While digging around for finding which language team I should piss of for translating the debian installer, I came to a general lookup of european languages in Debian Installer. Why european? Not because I'm european centric in any matterjust because I started from this:-). Also because, I'm kind of EC active supporter. Here are my conclusions: Official languages of European Communities as of 2004/1/1 - All current eleven official languages of the EC are supported in D-i and will certainly be. These are: es, da, de, el, en, fr, it, nl, pt, fi, sv (Gaeilge, or Irish, is an official language of the EC for treaties only) Official languages of European Communities as of 2004/5/1 - 9 languages will become EC official languages as of 2004/5/1 Among these will be fully supported: Lituanian (lt), Polish (pl), Czech (cs), Slovak (sk), Hungarian (hu), Slovenian (sl) Will probably not be supported: Latvian (lv), Estonian (et), Maltese (mt) (though Cyprus joins EC with two official languages, greek and turkish, turkish will only become an official language when the well-known constitutional matters of this country will be sorted out) Candidate countries --- Three more countries are EC candidates and their languages may become EC official languages in a few years (maybe before sarge+1 release...:-))) Bulgarian (bu) and Turkish (tr) will be supported in d-i. Romanian (ro) is less probable Other countries in Europe - Missing languages: sr (Serbian), mk (Macedonian), hr (Croatian), sq (Albanian), bs (Bosnian), is (Icelandic), uk (Ukrainian), be (Belarussian), mo (Moldavian) Among those, only Bosnian has some early translations I think I don't roget any and if I do, please accept my deep apologies for being ignorant. And of course, all so-called regional languages some of which may be official languages in some countries (basque, catalan, romanche...) Anyone aware of strong translation teams for one of the missing languages may contact me. I don't forget non european languages, of course. I still need to look around which are realistic to imagine being possibly included. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It tried network card config, and failed. Now, the problems: 1. I have chosen "Detecter et monter le cederom", but instead it entered in network card config and tried DHCP, asked IP etc. After that, I have chosen the next option. You did not tell us exactly which image you tried. There are businesscard and netinstall images for beta2 on cdrom. Both of these images will not install a usable debian system without a network connection. So it makes perfect sense to insist on network configuration. If you only want the first part of the installation you can configure a static network and the installation will continue without further asking about network configuration. As specified in the "Method:" line above, I tried the powerpc netinstall CD image. I tried again the installation without network, I put valid numbers (ip: 2.2.2.2, mask: 255.255.255.0, p 2.2.1, dns nothing, name debian, domain toto.com) and it worked. Before, when the installation failed, I think that I typed invalid entries for network (if I remember well) and passed manually to the next menu choice (about CDROM detection). I did not know that I *must* enter valid entries for network information, even if I am not connected to a network. I did not know that I need a network connection to install a usable debian system, sorry. 4. I have chosen "Partitionnement". I have tape ctrl-c, and it exited and printed the boot screen. Now the computer is blocked. Where did you type ctrl-c? In the screen to select the disk to partition or in mac-fdisk? You can leave mac-fdisk by typing q In mac-fdisk. Unfortunately, I do not remember *why* I typed ctrl-c, since I might use q... However, I tried again the installation and, instead of choosing the normal exit with q, I typed ctrl-c. It shown again the boot screen (Freeing unused kernel memory... Setting up filesystem..., and several errors about modprobe after that) and it blocked. Shouldn't the signal ctrl-c be caught?

The translation seems correct. I'll do a new install later on today, in

Yes. I want to avoid expanding the role of iso-codes at the moment, as
it is designed to be a small component for many packages: its hard to
convince a developer to "bloat" their package by making it depend on
yours if you keep expanding your package to include new things.
So I think the information about zones should stay in countrychooser for
the moment.

Yes. It should match the "Great Britain" returned from the locale, eg.
that returned by nl_langinfo(), so you could do
localised_ctryname = dgettext("iso_3166",
nl_langinfo(_NL_IDENTIFICATION_TERRITORY));
I would also like iso_3166.tab to match /usr/share/zoneinfo/iso3166.tab
(and so replace it later), but at the moment iso3166.tab uses "Britain
(UK)", so at the moment these two goals conflict. Working on it.

Ok, that I can do. Should it just contain the .tab file, or the .po
files too?

Should it just contain the .tab file, or the .po > files too? I just need the tab file in /usr/share/iso-codes. The translations are used at build-time. I msgunformat them from *.mo files. This is why countrychooser build-depends on iso-codes. You mentioned me that you're working on translations updates. Can you notify me before uploading the new iso-codes so that I update french. Countrychooser build needs 100% translations for iso-3166.tab so that its own templates are completely translated. This is because po2debconf uses "__Choices" translation only when all choices are translated and unfuzzied. This will probably lead some input for you as iso-codes maintainer, because I will ask d-i translation teams to have a look at iso-codes translations for their own languages. If needed, and if this is too much overhead for you, I offer co-maintaining the package. (switch to IRC if needed) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#212962: What is being done to offer RTL, BIDI and Shaping support
After much discussion I believe there are two ways we can approach the solution: 1. Hack Newt for now to pipe all output through bidi and some custom written shaping code (should be simple to do). this requires intimiate knowlege of Newt and fribidi. Currently the .lb LUG is looking into it. They might do it they might not. depending on their schedule. (will find out later next week). 2. There is a tool called bicon (we are in the process of modifying its license) to include it in debian tree. This tools manages to do bidi and shaping and sits between the console and the applications running in the console. the theory is if we ran it before running the d-i then we should see all arabic text correctly without touching Newt or anything else. This is the best options but require the following points addressed: a. Test bicon with d-i first. b. Measure the willingness of the developers to adopt running it before running d-i. I will update this bug with the path we have decided to take to resolve it. Anmar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Branched languagechooser
As some of you may have noticed, and as suggested by Joey and Steve Langasek, I created a "languagechooser_ng" branch in languagechooser (I did so two days ago but forgot to announce it here). This will allow those who want to test out my languagechooser proposal along with the new countrychooser to give them a look. May someone explain me how I can merge in possible changes made to languagechooser HEAD into the languagechooser_ng branch? As I already told, my CVS knowledge is a bit crude and empiric..:-) For instance, I stupidely made my branching on some versions of files other than those who were in CVS at the moment I branched out. The changes were easy to manually merge in, however -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You mean than one ?
"Les systèmes de fichiers seront créés et les partitions seront
montées."
This is correct french. The verb is "créer", first group verb:
je crée
tu crées
il crée
nous créons
vous créez
ils créent
je serai créé
tu seras créé
and so on

Well, the problem here is that we do not have a valuable source for doing this. ISO code lists do no give information about such zones. I think users in general are quite well aware of such long lists : these country lists are what you find on each and every form which asks you for your address (those which continue to list French Guyane near France). As long as the form is sorted, any user may easily find his country by typing the first letter of its official name which I hopê they're aware of. The *current* list is a bt broken, according to Alastair (who maintains the iso-codes packages it's taken from). For instance, "Great-Britain" is listed there as "Britain" which is obviously bugguy. I'm waiting for Alastair to release a new version of iso-codes with updated codes and translations. I will also ask him for a iso-3166-udeb package as countrychooser needs the iso-3166.tab file as reference. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

2.4.24
I've just nearly successfully installed in vmware using 2.4.24 d-i. The only catch is that the CD image I had it use after booting from floppy does not have the 2.4.24 kernel deb on it and is lacking a few kernel module udebs too. But I see no problems at all that cannot be explained by that. All initrds build and fit with the new kernel, etc. The 2.4.24 kernel udebs are in the archive so it's a trivial change to build your own initrds. I might throw together some CD images if that would be useful for testing. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
