Re: String freeze 20. to 24. of July
Quoting Dennis Stampfer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): hehe, yes :P Well, we have strings in choose-mirror like BY, CA, CH which the translators have to translate in their language. The English translators write Belarus, Canada, Switzerland... and thats the 10% :) I have plans for making this disappear. Look at currently commented code in debian/rules for choose-mirror. Because this is quite an invasive change, this is unlikely to make it in the next release. The scripts probably need some code cleanup. They are already in the trunk but unused...so, if someone is good at cleaning badly written shell script code, (s)he's welcome to clean out those. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#260140: ddetect: Should avoid asking PCMCIA questions several times
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Christian Perrier wrote: When doing the installation at medium or low priority, the questions about PCMCIA being started or not and PCMCIA address range are asked up to 3 times (at CD detection phase, network hardware detection phase, and hard disk detection phase). I suggest keeping track of the previous answers and the seen status of the questions so that they're not asked mor ethan once (unless of course there is a special reasons for boring our users with them:-)). If you want to fix this, test the patch for cdebconf bug #257180 and back out my change to ddetect 0.103. I will probably be unable to really test this as suggested. Anyway, this is probably a post-release issue. I just wanted to record this remark while I was away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Minutes of Debian Installer IRC meeting of 20040717
Minutes of Debian Installer IRC Meeting of 2004.07.17.2000 Dates and times are UTC-referenced. Venue: #debian-boot at irc.debian.org Meeting started at 20:00. There were 107 IRC nicknames present at the start time.

There was no objection. Everybody would like to support 2.6 kernels. However there are some issues preventing that: * 2.4 is the only thing viable on sparc32 * US and Amiga seem to have issues with 2.6 as well * ia64 boot with 2.6 not ready yet * alpha won't be on 2.6 until until there's some sign of the PCI fixes making it into the kernel-images String Freeze = A string freeze on general principle, so that people don't go changing strings *after* everybody thinks they've got it all translated. There are many of translated but un-uploaded strings. To release by the end of the month, joeyh suggested a string freeze starting in the next few days. There were no objections. seppy will send the announcement to the translators. Architecture Status === alpha - vorlon said that alpha is in pretty solid shape; the two big outstanding issues for them are that automatic partitioning doesn't yet account for the space aboot needs, and that 2.4 kernel images in the archive are still in need of a major PCI fix. He estimates that it affects close to 1/4 of the alpha hardware. 2.6 hasn't been tried yet. amd64 - Q_ said that amd64 currently doesn't have a netinst image. He has been trying to get it working without much success. joeyh suggested Q_ to talk to manty. Q_ also said that they've also had some problems with changes in sid base. It seems to work for some people while others say it failed without much detail about why it failed. Some of those failures are explained by sid base breakage because we only have sid. arm --- kyllikki confirmed that there are no changes since last week when it was reported in good shape. hppa jbailey has a hppa, and was hoping to test. bdale and AstinusUK offered to test hppa. i386 joeyh reported that it seems to be in good shape. He also noted that the lowmem patch has bugs, and doesn't know if zboob will get it fixed in time. ia64 lieb reported that they would like to get ia64 boot + 2.6 done before final release. He also said that ia64 efi partman patches were submitted this week. He's also re-writing the ia64 portions of the install manual. m68k joeyh has got confirmation that the genext2fs bug is still there. Also, Florian Lohoff posted to -boot and reported the ext filesystem error problem on boot. Simon Richter will look after m68k/Amiga a bit. mips,mipsl -- joeyh said that someone reported on the list that the lowmem problem with mips seems to not be a problem now. powerpc --- SvenLuther said that Powerpc is in pretty good shape. The real problem is that we really want 2.6 to be the default kernel on it, and this is right now problematic. He also said that he would make the 2.6 kernel the default, and have 2.4 as fallback (linux24). joeyh noted that at a minimum, he'll need to offer both, joeyh can't see dropping 2.4 with 2.6 as of yet unproven. SimonRichter APUS status: 2.4 doesn't boot, 2.6 doesn't build. However, both seem trivial. His plan is to get both issues fixed by tuesday. s390 joeyh reported waldi and athornton are

Bug#254830: Please include firewire for network installs
Hello,
On Wed, Jun 23, 2004 at 10:40:18AM -0400, Joey Hess wrote:
The ohci1394 module should be loaded if discover1 finds and recognises
your firewire controller on the PCI bus. If it doesn't, send us lspci
and lspci -n output, and we can fix discover1.
Here is what discover1 loads for Firewire:
Module Size Used byNot tainted
ehci-hcd 25704 0 (unused)
usb-ohci 24136 0 (unused)
and this is what discover2 loads:
Module Size Used byNot tainted
usb-ohci 24136 0 (unused)
So I manually have to load (by using /etc/modules) eth1394 and
ohci1394. This is on my alpha/2.4.26. I can also check my ibook (ppc)
with discover{1|2} and 2.{4|6} if that makes sense (but I vaguely
remember it to be the same there).
I'm not sure what is needed to determine there is a firewire ethernet
interface and load eth1394. We could simply always try to load this
module if ohci1394 is loaded, similar to how we always load sbp2 for
firewire CDs. Any info you can provide about how to probe if a firewire
ethernet is there would be useful.
I think always loading is the only possible way. By checking the
proper file in /proc you can of course test if a cable is inserted at
all (i.e. a peer is present). At least in 2.4 this works fine (2.4
Ethernet-Over-Firewire is incompatibel with the 2.6 version,
unfortunately, hence I only tested the 2.4-version).
Hope this helps.
Greetings
Helge

I first tried using the sarge installer, and found it couldn't see more than 137GB of my 160GB drive, but I went ahead and partitioned anyway. I finished the base install, putting grub in (hd1,0). I have another disk in the computer which has FreeBSD and windows-XP on it. The FreeBSD loader was unable to boot from (hd1,0). It told me to PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT when i choose that disk. I thought I'd start the process again, this time putting grub in the MBR of hd1. Before I did so, I booted into windows, and had a look at the partition table. It was as the debian installer had made it. I took the opportunity to format the 20GB at the end of the disk as a fat32 partition. I then rebooted, and inserted the sarge installer disk again. When I got to the partitioning section of the install process again, I noticed that the installer couldn't read my partition table at all. It just showed a 137Gb disk that was all Free Space. To verify things, I booted into windows again, and the partition table was fine. This is where I'm at now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#260225: Sarge installer not recognising partition table for disk larger than 137GB
Quoting Christian Perrier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I'll paste it below for your convenience: Problems with the debian (sarge) installer For the record, after the IRC talk we had : this was reproducible on 20040718 sid_d-i image I have asked Sara to try reproducing with a 2.6 install. Still for the record : 2.6 failed too. After this, a lot of tests:-) Kamion sazzle: same question to you; what does 'parted -s /dev/hda print' on tty2 show? Kamion er bubulle tries to remember whether the old partitioner is on the netinst/businesscard CD's Kamion /dev/discs/disc0/disc I mean, not /dev/hda, sorry Kamion bubulle: doubt it's even built any more, *fdisk may be there sazzle Kamion: not sure, i'll have to reboot again sazzle i'm look with knoppix atm sazzle knoppix detects the disks bubulle sazzle: well, if you say the partitions are there, it's OK.

(I can't afford to download it twice..) Kamion sazzle: 2.4 was too new to be the default in woody Kamion sazzle: it's rock-stable now Kamion nictuku: you could use rsync, then you don't have to download twice ... nictuku Kamion, he meant why the bf string sazzle Kamion: parted -s prints nothing sazzle sorry Kamion sazzle: with the other arguments? sazzle forgot the print Kamion right nictuku Kamion, rsync the iso? sazzle Kamion: disk0 is my 80Gb drive sazzle Kamion: it prints it correctly, but that's not interesting Kamion nictuku: sure, from cdimage.debian.org::cdimage-testing/ Kamion nictuku: look through that to find the iso you want; the structure is the same as via http bubulle sazzle: try ls -l /dev/discs/disc0 Kamion sazzle: well, disk1 or disk2 or whatever ... sazzle Kamion: but, if i do it with disk1, it's interesting sazzle Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk sazzle ..that.. explains everything doesn't it? nictuku thanks kamion bubulle sazzle: just to confirm, try cfdisk /dev/discs/disc0/disc bubulle this should bring you into the goold old partitioner sazzle and with cfdisk, doing the same thing, I get: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition begins after end-of-disk bubulle OK... sazzle just did bubulle Kamion: what do you think of this? Kernel problem? sazzle it seems like a bug in parted, not the kernel sazzle as the kernel can read adn write to the disks Kamion bubulle: could be a screwed-up partition table that the kernel somehow tolerates anyway bubulle hmmm, /me wonders whether fdisk uses parted Kamion bubulle: I doubt it joshk no way joshk definitely not bubulle I was pretty sure..:-) bubulle so, not a parted bug bubulle what about completely erase the partitions with something else and try partitioning with the installer again sazzle bubulle: i'm trying to mount the partitions sazzle and finish the install sazzle lets see if this works sazzle hm sazzle no sazzle i mounted the first and 2nd partitions onto /target sazzle is there a way to skip the partitioning step?

Bug#254830: Please include firewire for network installs

Here is what discover1 loads for Firewire:
Module Size Used byNot tainted
ehci-hcd 25704 0 (unused)

and this is what discover2 loads:
Module Size Used byNot tainted
usb-ohci 24136 0 (unused)
None of the above are firewire modules, they're usb.
So I manually have to load (by using /etc/modules) eth1394 and
ohci1394. This is on my alpha/2.4.26. I can also check my ibook (ppc)
with discover{1|2} and 2.{4|6} if that makes sense (but I vaguely
remember it to be the same there).
If you'll provide the lspci and lspci -n information I asked for, then
discover can be fixed to load ohci1394 for your firewire controller, and
the rest of loading eth1394 is taken care of.

And fill a bug report against kerne-image-2.6.7-powerpc. I'd be happy to acquire a USB/PCI card but that will take a little while. Or is there another image you'd like me to try? I don't think that is needed, see above. If you want me to try booting the 2.6 kernel again and record the error message, let me know. Yes, please a full log output would be nice, i suppose that since 2.6.7-3, you should be able to get a serial log on your old world box. This would be the most perfect solution. But again, a bug report should go against the kernel-image-2.6.7-powerpc package. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#260225: Sarge installer not recognising partition table for disk larger than 137GB
I don't know if this is relevant, but some IDE controllers only recognize the first 128 GB(binary) = 137*10^9 bytes. Is it possible that your controller has two modes? Windows uses one mode that recognizes the whole disk, and Linux uses the other (compatibility?) mode that only recognizes the first 137 GB(decimal)...? I haven't tried a big disk on an x86 box, but on my Beige G3 PowerMacs, I have to use a SIIG UltraIDE PCI controller to see the tail-ends of my larger disks. The on-board IDE controller that Apple built into those boxes refuses to see beyond 137 GB(decimal). For what it's worth, the SIIG controller works fine with Linux -- as well as with MacOS. Enjoy!

Package: base-config Version: 2.35 Severity: normal Tags: patch In some locales, the cut -d ' ' -f 1-6 that tzsetup does to remove drift information doesn't work properly, because ctime() output in those locales doesn't contain the same number of spaces. This is quite noticeable in ja_JP.UTF-8, for instance. Using sed 's/ .*//' instead works better, since ctime() output doesn't seem to contain a double space in any locale I can see while hwclock always outputs the double space. The following patch fixes this: http://www.no-name-yet.com/patches/base-config.hwclock-cut.diff I've also filed bug #260272 asking for a proper option to hwclock so that this hack can be removed.

shadow package 4.0.3-29.1 NMu uploaded
I just uploaded the shadow package NMU (built with general maintainer agreement) to DELAYED/2-day. It should then appear in unstable on July 22th and be then just in time for the next d-i release if nothing bad happens...:-) Fixes are mostly programs translation fixes (not that important for d-i). There is only one debconf translation update (meaning new translations, directly seen by d-i users : finnish translation I also applied the #259827 fix for avoiding FTBFS with gcc 3.4. This is the main reason for the 2 days delay despite maintainer's agreement.) -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Lock installer / network-console

May it be a problem that now two interfaces exist for the installer? I think of something like locking the interface on local-side when the remote-installer gets startet and any action is taken remotely - if not, continuing the installation locally stops the sshd again. I expect that network-console will be use by people who don't use real console.

Re: Partman
See last IRC meeting log. Anton mentioned he will work on
this. Manpower is missing aroung this, I'm afraid
Ok, here is my report, for what it's worth. I hope it can help making a
difference.
* Main screen.
-= This is about moving the things on the screen. A few string changes. =-
The problem with partman main screen is that everything is an option,
and it becomes really confusing to the user. A simple change, like
putting the hard-drive information at the top and joining all the other
options at the bottom may be a bit more clarifying.
Then, I think that a GREAT difference could be made by transforming the Help
and Finish options into buttons at the bottom of the screen. In this
way, we could have two less lines on the selection screen, and the help
and finish options would always be visible.
Help and Finish being buttons rather than options is a more intuitive
approach (from my point of view, and some others I've collected as well)
and more user-friendly. Please think about it. I know it's different
from the rest of d-i, but it can make a real difference to the user.
* Formatting screen
-= This implies changing strings. But it's quite important!! =-
The formatting screen is the one that I've found out to be more
confusing. Specially when people that's new to partman try to find
where the swap is.
We've discussed this with some friends, and we came to the agreement
that if in Usage method it said Create a File System or maybe just
File System instead of Format the partition it would make the user
realize that that's the option he wants to change to use swap.
I think this is not enough, though. I think we need some sort of tips
to allow people to realize where the things are, but this is much more
difficult, I know.
-= This is a code fix. No string change needed =-
It's kind of dumb to show the Bootable flag for certain partition
types (like swap), I think it would be better to not show it when it
makes no difference, so as not to confuse the user unnecesarily.
* LVM and RAID
-= This is a code fix. No string changes =-
LVM and RAID options should NOT appear on the screen until the RAID or
LVM partitions have been selected. These are two options, that eat up
screen space, when the user might not be interested at all in them, no
matter debconf level.
* More recipes
-= This implies adding some strings, please do think about it though =-
partman-auto is awesome. I think it would be really nice to have some more
recipes, so that the least amount of people has to use partman to
actually set the values.
The one I already submitted is a Server recipe, that exchanges the
/var and /home sizes from the Multi-User recipe (or something like
that), I think that having this one would make a lot of people's lives
easier.
I can't think of any other sensible general recipe right now, but if
there are, I'd certainly say it's a good idea. Remember: the least
people that use partman, the more people that will love debian installer
:)
Also, some usability issues may require too much changes,
unfortunately.
I've tried to keep the changes to the minimum possible. But I think
that we *have* to address this before release.

Bug#260225: Sarge installer not recognising partition table for disk larger than 137GB
Controllers that don't believe in disks larger than 137 GB(decimal) report any disk larger than that as being exactly 137 GB in size. This is probably why cfdisk et al are telling you that your partitions go beyond the end of the disk -- as far as they know, the disk ends before the beginning of the partition: at 137 GB. It's a good sign that Windows can see the tail of the disk. That means that the controller is capable of seeing it, even if Linux isn't forcing the right mode to make it do so. It's also a hopeful sign that Knoppix can mount the partitions on the tail of the disk. To see if the problem really lies with parted and/or cfdisk you might try them under Knoppix... Is there a jumper or BIOS setting for the controller (or on the disk itself) to tell it to always use large disk mode? (I don't know what the official name for that mode is -- maybe somebody on the list knows?) That would be worth a try. I know it's possible to use disks larger than 137 GB with Linux -- I'm doing it!

Doubt it, as the problem doesn't seem to be recognising the whole disk, 4 parts appear under /dev/discs/disc1/ as expected. I was also able to mount all the partitions in knoppix. An error arises when parted (or cfdisk) try to read the partition table, and die when they think there is a partition after the end of the disk. With parted -s /dev/discs/disc1/disc print I get the message: Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk With cfdisk, doing the same thing, I get: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition begins after end-of-disk -S -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
