[l10n] Netcfg now uses l10n-changes scripts
As of this new release, netcfg will use l10n-changes script by Nikolai for changelog updates. Thus, translators do not need to update netcfg changelog anymore. A note has been put there. The already existing changelog entries have been removed. I checked that the script will input them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Install fails: can't find kernel module for via-rhine Ethernet

Default partition table type for non i386?
Hi! Can people working on non-i386 tell how we can find the default partition table type. This is necessary for the autopartitioner of partman to work on them and will also simplify the dialog for creation of new partition table. Currently parted supports the following partition tables: bsd, gpt, mac, dvh, msdos, pc98, sun and amiga. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Not exactly hype when compared to other distros..:-) Network configuration: - The DHCP before, then static option may confuse a novice user. We probably need to have a clearer template when DHCP fails. - Host name asked twice when DHCP fails General organisation: There is no clear choice for *Aborting* installation. The user wanted to abort during partconf because she found that no free space was available for installing Debian (all was allocated to Windows). She first tried Finish installation and rebootbut this started partconf again as this part of the installation hadn't been achieved. The Reboot the system choice may need rephrasing as this is often an Abort option. Partitionning: partconf/cfdisk is a real PITA for beginners. We definitely need anton's partman. partconf strangely warns about an existing filesystem for a newly created Linux partition where I'm sute no mkfs was ever done.

It is only a 32bit kernel, but it would be nice to know if it works. Once this kernel is known working on G5 pmacs, we can then use it for d-i, altough it would need a new set of modules, and a new initrd, same as for the -small kernel-image. I think there should be no problem in using the 32bit kernel for installation, even if you switch to the 64bit kernel later on, and as said, there is still work in progress on that front, we need glibc support and a 64bit cross compiler for example. If the above kernel will not work, then we will need to resort to the 2.6.3 kernel i am preparing for G5 pmacs.

Shadow package NMU in preparation for l10n issues
Given that I had no news from Karl Ramm, shadow package maintainer, about a package upload for fixing all l10n issues, I will today start to prepare a NMU for this package. When ready, I'll announce the NMU in all concerned bug logs. Immediately after this announcement, the NMU will be uploaded to DELAYED/7-day.

Hi Luke, I believe the debian-installer folks are using version 2 of the ISC DHCP packages for the Sarge installer, but I am not 100% sure so I have Cc'ed them here for additional input. The maintainers of the Debian dhcp and dhcp3 packages would like to replace the dhcp packages (ISC DHCP v2) with version 3 of the ISC DHCP package, and get rid of the dhcp3 packages. It's been in our to-do list for some time now but we haven't gotten around it yet. Feedback from the debian-installer team about this move would be appreciated. Cheers, Eloy.- On Mon, Mar 01, 2004 at 10:31:49AM -0500, Luke Seubert wrote: Good day, In an effort to ensure that the Debian page on DistroWatch.com (1) is as up to date as possible, could you please reply to this email and indicate if dhcp2.0pl5-16.1 or dhcp3.0+3.0.1rc11-5 is the default version of dhcp to be installed for Sarge? I have forwarded other updates about Debian packages to Mr. Ladislav Bodnar, maintainer of DistroWatch, and he has accepted them. However, a question has arisen about the default install for dhcp in Sarge.

That's is. NFS isn't supported by the debian-installer boot kernel, so you will be unable to mount *any* nfs partition. This kernel option isn't enough for nfs access. You will also need the nfs userland binaries and of course the portmapper program. All of them are not available in d-i (yet?). If you install you main-system kernel at a later point in d-i you will run into the next problem. No of the debian default kernels support nfsroot out-of-the-box. So you must provide your own mirror/cdrom to install d-i with such custom requirements. I can't see the point why we should support installing on nfs volumes. You can simply debootstrap in on the nfs master machine, or if it isn't a Linux system you can easily copy the contents from an other machine into the nfsroot. Bye Thorsten p.s. I don't think Sarge will run without any changes in the initscripts from a nfsroot (ro) Hi- I think it would be very useful to support installing onto NFS volumes. At my site we operate these big netapp NFS file servers (filers). They have no intelligence except to serve NFS volumes, i.e. there is no real 'os' on them. If we could support installing TO an NFS root, we could use diskless workstations servers that would install to their own volume on the filers. Then, the filer takes care of stuff like redundancy. This might also help for a situation where the NFS master server is one architecture (i386) and the machine you want to install 'to' is different, i.e. powerpc / mainframe. Also, I think that it would be very useful if DI supported installing FROM an NFS volume. Using an NFS volume is more flexible for testers than the initrd.gz files. If the kernel supported NFS root, could just mount it's root directory init etc, it would be possible to tinker with a running installer system, add drivers as needed, etc. without having to re-make the initrd.gz file, which is not easy. erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

m68k debian-installer call for testers
Debian-installer has gotten to the point on m68k that it's ready for a few more people than me to try to break it. Ideally, we'd like d-i to work before beta 3 gets released in a few weeks. I've only tested d-i with a mac Centris 650 running kernel 2.2.25 (2.4 kernels don't work on the mac). I'd like to see some other macs and amigas make a test run or two. I'm working on supporting atari and the vmes, but it'd be nice to know that someone out there cares enough to test, otherwise I may not build dailies for those subarchs. Installation instructions can be found at http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/cvs/debian-installer/doc/INSTALLATION-HOWTO. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/cvs/debian-installer/doc/boot-parameters.txt might also be useful. Additionally, the mac ram disks require you to use ramdisk_size=2 as a kernel parameter. I intend to minimize that later, but for now, I doubt you can do an install in less than 40MB (my box has 136MB and that's the only testing I know of). My daily builds can be found at http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/images-m68k/daily/ The nativehd ram disk loads everything from the net. The cdrom ram disk loads everything from cdrom. Hopefully we'll have official cdroms before too long at http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/. Don't bother trying to install a distribution other than unstable. Please file success and failure bug reports. It would also be nice if someone could work on the documentation.

Re: Default partition table type for non i386?
On Wed, Mar 03, 2004 at 10:05:48AM +0200, Anton Zinoviev wrote: Can people working on non-i386 tell how we can find the default partition table type. This is necessary for the autopartitioner of partman to work on them and will also simplify the dialog for creation of new partition table. Currently parted supports the following partition tables: bsd, gpt, mac, dvh, msdos, pc98, sun and amiga. Alpha uses either bsd or msdos, depending on whether the system is SRM-based or AlphaBIOS-based. See tools/partitioner/scripts/alpha.sh for how this is currently detected. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer signature.asc Description: Digital signature
mkinitrd still failing on cciss
Hi- mkinitrd is still failing to work on hardware with cciss drive controllers as of the Mar 3 daily build net install. These controllers have the filesystems in: /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 and /dev/cciss/disc0/part2 The cciss stuff is now (thankfully) working with the partitioner instead of the garbled output from before, but not yet on this step. Below I have posted the outut from /var/log/messages Erik Selecting previously deselected package kernel-image-2.4-386. Unpacking kernel-image-2.4-386 (from .../kernel-image-2.4-386_2.4.25-1_i386.deb) ... Setting up kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386 (2.4.25-1) ... You are attempting to install a kernel version that is the same as the version you are currently running (version 2.4.25-1-386). The modules list is quite likely to have been changed, and the modules dependency file /lib/modules/2.4.25-1-386/modules.dep needs to be re-built. It can not be built correctly right now, since the module list for the running kernel are likely to be different from the kernel installed. I am creating a new modules.dep file, but that may not be correct. It shall be regenerated correctly at next reboot. I repeat: you have to reboot in order for the modules file to be created correctly. Until you reboot, it may be impossible to load some modules. Reboot as soon as this install is finished (Do not reboot right now, since you may not be able to boot back up until installation is over, but boot immediately after). I can not stress that too much. You need to reboot soon.

release status
We're still on track for release on the 15th. Here's a schedule up to then: March 3rd No changes to libraries past this point. March 6th Final code changes for i386 enter the archive. (except new udebs and possibly partman) March 7th All udebs to be copied from unstable to testing. First possibly final i386 CDs built; testing. String freeze begins. March 10th String feeeze ends. March 14th Final changes to udebs in archive. Final image and CD builds. March 15th Release. So we will be trying to get i386 into a releasable state by weekend, and after that concentrate on making sure the other architectures are ready. Here, again is a checklist for what needs to be done for an architecture before release: 1. CD images builds should be working (if applicable) 2. images must be in debian archive 3. at least one successful installation report per boot method Here is a short list of things that need to be done still before release: - fix all beta2 errata (a must) - reiserfsprogs not installed - partman - xfs and reiserfs support urgently needed - testing! - probably go for i386, other arches unknown - i18n: - cfdisk-udeb (util-linux package) utf-8 support. Bug#229875. NMU? - bterm-unifont reloading. Bug#232397 - subarchitecture support for powerpc and m68k (Current status??) - make sure we support 32 mb of memory again In partman, Steve Langasek may be looking at adding XFS starting this weekend. Anton has planned out how reiserfs support should work, but it is not yet being worked on. There have been lots of bugs fixed and UI cleanups this week, and it works great on i386 now. It would be good to know ASAP what other arches will use partman, and which should remain using the old partitioner. Partman is currently the default on all arches. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#235918: [l10n] Hebrew not showing up properly in languagechooser
Quoting Lior Kaplan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi, The original text you sent me in English had the colon, so I used it myself. You can try to overright it (maybe Hebrew colon has something different than English one) or to change it to a comma. I'm downloading the ISO of the bussiness card to see the problem myself. OK, I get it. In fact Hebrew: does not have to be translated. The only thing that needs translation if Choose this to proceed in Hebrew so I guess I should remove all characters before the colon, including the colon, right ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

HIGH: add user automatically; this would mostly be used by end-users installing a desktop, probably for single user MEDIUM: show dialog with some groups (like audio, cdrom) preselected by default LOW: show dialog with no groups preselected by default It would be nice if some explanation of the use of each group would be given in the dialog. I think there is little or any real security risk if this feature would be well documented and explained in the installation manual. Thanks. No. Either the device permissions or membership in the device groups need to be managed differently, by a pam module or a login script. The way Debian does it now is an ugly kludge with annoying side effects, and I will consider *any* patches that add initial users to groups to be bugs until reeducated by the technical committee or some other solution is found. kcr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Unfortunatly I don't know the fix for any of these except #235386 (whose fix is trivial), and I won't have time to work on it this week. I can try to at least fix 235386. What is the clean way to do lowercase(firstname) according to you. I think this is the simplest thing to do. 233894 may induce some discussion (is it OK to automatically add the first user to system groups like cdrom, audio and so on). This is not critical thus we can delay it. I think I've flamed about this already. 223664 probably needs asking the question about MD5 passwords before setting up the root account. Maybe fixable this way Except the question about MD5 passwords doesn't get asked anymore, which is sort of what causes the problem. I should be uploading a fix shortly. [If -19 hasn't been uploaded in the next 24 hours with a fix, poke me again, what's going to take any time at all is 235386, my debconf is rusty] 222716 is a template rewrite. I prefer first having all translations complete and after this try the templates rewrites. #221151 proposed some rewrites Karl didn't completely agree with Anyway, if templates are rewritten, translators should be warned before so that we don't have a released version with lots of fuzzy translations. er, uh, I believe 222716 was fixed in -14, I've just repeatedly forgotten to close the bug. I wish shadow to be on alioth, indeed..:-) I admit to feeling particularly grumpy at the moment, but I think myself and Sam Hartman acting as picky gatekeepers to the cvs repository this lives in has more positive results than not. You may have just noticed that if you submit a patch that doesn't leave me shaking my head for some picky, pedantic reason I will apply it nearly as soon as I see it. kcr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
