Bug#261671: Missing entries for languagechooser

2004-09-01 Thread Christian Perrier
Quoting Christian Perrier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Elyan, Kestutis, Jean-Christophe, Jure

Elyan , forget about my request : Albanian is translated

Kestutis, the bug reporter seemed to mention the translation of
Lithuanian is wrong. Can you check ?

Jean-Christophe : we need Vietnamese in Vietnamese

Jure : is the Slovenian entry correct ?

Now I'm confused by the entry we have for Slovak: Slovenc^ina

Nearly exactly similar to the one for Slovenian..Peter, do you
confirm that the name for Slovak in Slovak is ?

If so, we have to find a way to avoid confusion for users. If fear

Quoting Jutta Wrage ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 A real problem where the partitions:
 No, I did not want to change anything! - Hmm. go out here.

.../...


A lot of usability issues

Not the first time we get such report and, I'm afraid, this part will
be the most criticized part of the installer, mostly when used in
situations more complicated than the install on an empty hard disk
situation.

Generally, all comes from the limitations of the widgets we
currently use for user interaction : cdebconf.

The best was done with it for building the best interface with what
was available. Anton Zinoviev did a great job at designing partman.

However, most of this will need some serious work, probably *after*
sarge release, for usability issues. Such issues were already
reported, often at Debconf by Margarita Manterola, but noone seriously
worked on itAnton made the best possible changes he could made.

This is the problem in free software development : as long as you
don't have someone willing to work on something, things are not done.

I also sometimes went lost in partman..:-)

 Next problem was grub:
 I did not want to be my working lilo to be erased, seems to be paranoid,
 but it was only a test installation. In IRC I was told just to skip all questions. 
 Okay. I said no to grup, but then it asked me where to install. And now?
 There was only a back, no forward, no skip.

Widget limitations, currently.

 I tried installation tree times. with the same beginning: Hitting return on the 
 intro screen: 
 - Depending on my way (back or not back) through the installation things where 
 different. As I did not decide anything diffferent, shouldn't that be always the 
 same?

This is because Go Back lowers the questions priority for you to go
at the main-menu (it is never shown on default installs because it is
medium priority). Thus, the first two Go Back hits change the
priority and you get more questions asked and more items visible in
the menu.

Also, the initial steps of d-i load some d-i components from the
network or CD. So, after these steps, items are automagically added to
the menu when they become available.

 - Seems I should have seen something like Hit F1 for help This was not visible on 
 my tft
 - Why did the installation ask me not every time for the kernel to take?

Because it's asked only at medium priority. At high priority (default
installs) there's no need to bother users with that. The installed
kernel depends on the way you booted the install (linux26 or linux)

 Some ideas:
 What about a help on every installation part?

Interface limitations

 Give some text please at teh beginning, that there is a menu, the user may be 
 proptet to, if necessary

Well, this is meant to be in the install manual. Of course, noone ever
reads manuals..:-)

 Couln't a lilo.conf always be installedsuggestionsuggestion (a working one for a 
 dual system would be fine (I did not find one and that of my old notebook is lost)?

*This* should work. But only if you accept to install lilo. The
installer should have detected your existing Linux installation and
will add an entry for booting it. The lilo installer screens show
which Other OS was detected.

We could turn this into a wishlist bug : install a working lilo.conf
even if LILO install is not accepted.

Maybe add a special medium priority menu entry asking the user if
(s)he wants to do this.

 There is no desktop in the list of tasks, should be, even if without X

This is because sarge currently doesn't have it because KDE is
currently not in sarge. So, a transitory problem.

 
 At least I got sarge booting with my lilo now ( I can giive the config, if wanted)
 
 I am missing some things in base installation:
 ssh is not installed
 telnet is installed :-(
 less is not installed
 sudo ist not installed, must not?

Most of these are Priority: Standard. By default, tasksel only
installs packages with Priority: Base, IIRC


This seems to be a change which could confuse users as woody installs
often ended with Standard priority packages installed when users used
the default dselect choice for adding packages.

I turn this into a wishlist bug against tasksel but I don't really
know if this will be ack'ed

Maybe adding an entry in tasksel for installing all Standard
priority packages ?

I think that going to aptitude will do this, but I'm unsure. Joey
simplified a lot of things in tasksel and this was a deliberate
choice.

Jutta, thanks a lot for this detailed install report and the time you
lost^W spent in testing D-I. Though this was not an easy process, I
hope you appreciated the installer. As we discussed on IRC, if you

Sven,
It's 2:15 AM, and I've got a meeting tomorrow at work, so I won't 
be able to test these tonight.  I'll try to get to them tomorrow 
(9/1) in the evening (US East Coast time).

Please do me a favor and loop-mount the images to see if they have 
all the expected pieces and the pieces are of the expected sizes.  
That way we won't loose another round of debugging for a problem 
that doesn't require an actual bootstrap to discover.  Thanks!

Take care!

No, this is a bug in the version of aptitude in testing. A fixed

 I've read a lot of websites and mailling lists but I haven't success on

 Can you :

 I've tried setenv load-base 10, the cdrom seems to boot, but as

 as the 7043-150 boots again, load-base is reset to 4000.

 I need someone who can provides me a working kernel/ramdisk to launch

 Well, the above should work, but we probably need more info on your box.

I have checked the ofonlyboot, boot and root floppies.

For the old 2.4, the daily builds are ok, but i have only checked the boot and

If you can confirm that the daily 2.4 builds are ok again, i will then follow
up to build 2.4 floppies with the miboot.image stuff in it.

This is expected, since you are trying to boot a prep kernel on a chrp box.

 0  boot net:10.252.82.254,,10.252.82.229
 LOAD: Waiting 60 seconds for Spanning Tree

 FINAL Packet Count = 11188   Final File Size = 5727838 bytes.

Ok, claim is used in the bootloader. I don't really know if this is happening
while the OF is claiming space for the kernel (i somehow don't think so,
because it has already loaded it somewhere), or if the actual kernel
boot-loader is trying to claim in the arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware/main.c.

 0  setenv load-base 10  ok
 0  boot net:10.252.82.254,,10.252.82.229

 FINAL Packet Count = 11188   Final File Size = 5727838 bytes.
 CLAIM failed

This should have helped. I naturally have no idea how the IBM OF is set out,
where the actual OF code is located, and what the free space is. Could you try
other load-base entries ? 

And BTW, how much memory you have on that box anyway ? 

Also, could provide the output of powerpc/netboot/2.4/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd as
well, and try to boot a standalone (without initrd) 2.6 kernel, by installing
kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc, and running

  mkvmlinuz -n -o /tftpboot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-powerpc -k /boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-powerpc

and then booting the resulting kernel. You would need mkvmlinuz version 9 or
higher.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

Re: Debian Installation s390.

 Hello,
 Can you give me any help (steps , links or instruction) how install
 debian  S390 on mainframe (zSeries). 

What release?

For our currently-supported release, Debian  3.0 woody, you need to
download the installation images from any Debian mirror, in the
directory mirror toplevel/dists/woody/main/disks-s390/current/ . There
is a doc/ directory over there, which might help you to understand the
system, and get you going.

However, Woody is more than two years old now; the installer images of
our upcoming release, Debian 3.1 sarge, are still being developed, and
testing is always welcome. You can download the RC1 images at any Debian
mirror, in the directory
mirror toplevel/dists/testing/main/installer-s390/current/images/generic/
If those don't work, there should also be daily snapshots at
raptor.debian.org, but it appears the link on the ports-status page is
broken.

Sounds like a d-i problem; contrary to your bug summary, xserver-xfree86
*doesn't* depend on read-edid, because the package does not exist for the
alpha architecture.

Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Description: the XFree86 X server
 The XFree86 X server is an X server for several architectures and operating
 systems; its architecture was completely redesigned for the 4.0 release, and
 features a loadable module system in which required modules are loaded on
 demand by a single server binary as opposed to the video card-specific X
 servers of the 3.x release.
 .
 The XFree86 server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors,
 and supersedes most version 3.x XFree86 X servers.  See
 http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Status.html for information on its support for
 your particular hardware.
 .
 If the discover, mdetect and read-edid packages are installed, this package's
 configuration script will use them to attempt automatic configuration of the
 X server based on your information returned by your video card, mouse, and
 monitor.
 .
 Note that on the HP-PA, MIPS, and SuperH architectures, the server's
 loadable module support is not present, and therefore the XFree86 server is a
 (very large) single binary.
 .
 This package suggests the libglide2 package, which is necessary for the
 XFree86 X server's glide video driver to work with 3Dfx Interactive's
 Voodoo Graphics and Voodoo2 cards.  Users of other video cards need not
 install libglide2.

 If there are any comments you would like to make on that, please do so by tomorrow.
 Some obvious corrections I can do on my own, eg. a LAYOYT = us, el becomes el
 because X 4.2 includes the latin keycodes in many keymaps by default.
 
 Also it's highly likely I will also add a script to configure gdm.

 This is expected behavior if you were installing from a netinst CD,

Is this a FAQ item yet?

 Sounds like a d-i problem; contrary to your bug summary, xserver-xfree86
 *doesn't* depend on read-edid, because the package does not exist for the
 alpha architecture.

Sounds like an entirely different problem, then, not one to do with
debian-installer. The error displayed when read-edid doesn't exist is
harmless.

2004-09-01 Thread Toni L. Harbaugh-Blackford [Contr]
Hi-

'partman' corrupts a Tru64 disklabel for disks that are prepartitioned.
If a user wants to skip the partitioning step in order preserve a Tru64
disklabel, what does the install require in order to continue the installation
successfully?  Is it enough to set up the partitions in the shell and mount them
at /target?

Thanks,
Toni

Tru64 uses BSD disklabels, so that the Alpha can be booted from SRM.
According to an incomplete discussion on the debian-alpha list, partman
should be able to handle the Tru64 labels.

But partman corrupts those labels in such a way that Tru64 can no longer read
them; however, the labels are 'good enough' for SRM, so that debian still boots.

Really, partman would not need to be fixed if section

   'A.5. Debian Partitioning Programs'

of the installation documentation were complete.  It says that the partitioning
step in the installer can be skipped, but does not say what is required 'underneath'
in order for the rest of the install to continue properly.  Here is the quote from
the current documentation:

   One of these programs will be run by default when you select Partition a Hard
Disk. If the one which is run by default isn't the one you want, quit the
partitioner, go to the shell (tty2) by pressing Alt and F2 keys together, and
manually type in the name of the program you want to use (and arguments, if
any). Then skip the Partition a Hard Disk step in debian-installer and continue
to the next step.

IF another paragraph would be added saying what is required, it would solve a
lot of problems.

Thanks,
Toni

 Hi-

 'partman' corrupts a Tru64 disklabel for disks that are prepartitioned.
   
Adding tru64 partition table support (or fixing existing support ?) would

Tru64 though.
 
 Tru64 uses BSD disklabels, so that the Alpha can be booted from SRM.
 According to an incomplete discussion on the debian-alpha list, partman
 should be able to handle the Tru64 labels.
 
 But partman corrupts those labels in such a way that Tru64 can no longer read
 them; however, the labels are 'good enough' for SRM, so that debian still boots.

This is a bug of at least important severity. Could you (or someone else)
please fill a bug report (or follow up on another bug report already filled
about this problem), and provide appropriate information on how to fix this.

Notice that the only reason i am not pushing this to RC severity is the
relative nearness of the release, but since it can cause unrelated data loss,
it should really be of this kind.

 Really, partman would not need to be fixed if section
 
'A.5. Debian Partitioning Programs'

This is bullshit, since when do we believe in doing some lamentable workaround
instead of doing the right thing and fixing the issue ? Or are the alpha guys
also suffering from the debian-powerpc symptom of people liking to document
their workaround in random web pages, instead of fixing it ?

Bug#269042: 269042 Addendum: how to preserve Tru64 prepartitioning from the installer?

2004-09-01 Thread Toni L. Harbaugh-Blackford [Contr]
Sven-

I think I understand what may be going on; bug 267652 hints at the underlying
problem, and should probably be expanded.  In order for a Tru64 (OSF, a BSD
derivative) label to be preserved, the 'aboot' bootloader for debian must
not overwrite block 0 of the disk.  But partman does not even *see* the BSD
label unless partition 'a' includes block 0.  Thus, if partman can see the
label, and the user chooses the 'a' partition to install aboot on, the label
will necessarily be corrupted from the standpoint of Tru64.  While you *could*
leave an empty 'a' partition at the beginning of the disk, Tru64 labels are
limited to 8 partitions.  In order to be able to use 7 of the 8 partitions (c is
the whole drive and thus cannot be used), traditionally alpha users start their
'a' partition about 1Mb *after* block 0.

So the *real* problem may be that partman will not accept a BSD disklabel on
which the first partition does not start at block 0.  In this light I don't
think it is necessary to open up a separate bug report.

It would still be nice to have a method to skip the Partition Disks menu
item in the installer, for those of us who want to maintain our previous
linux disk configurations.  I have verified that an existing partition
list with 'a' NOT beginning at block 0 *does* infact work just fine with
sarge; only partman doesn't like it.

Thank you very much for your time,
Toni

Bug#269077: serial check

2004-09-01 Thread Stephen R Marenka
On Wed, Sep 01, 2004 at 01:36:24AM +0200, Wouter Verhelst wrote:
 [...serial check thinks real consoles are serial as well...]
 
 Hm. I just referenced the code which was already in rootskel, supposing
 it was working OK, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Checking on my
 VME box, however, the /proc/self/fd/* files also link to /dev/console,
 so there is no way this problem could be fixed by slightly modifying the
 check.

The difference is that the original code was called by debian-installer 
and the new code is called in sbin/init, which has a different
context. 

Can the following sbin/init code be moved to 
lib/debian-installer.d/S30term?

if [ $TERM_TYPE = serial ]; then
for i in 2 3 4 5; do
rm -f /dev/vc/$i
done
fi

This seems to solve the detection problem for me.

Do you really need to delete the extra vc devices?

Bug#268815: Second stage in debian-installer starts up in english when swithcing languages during first stage

2004-09-01 Thread Recai Oktas
* Christian Perrier [2004-08-30 08:23:46+0200]
 Quoting Recai Oktas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
  * Hvard Korsvoll [2004-08-29 12:19:41+0200]
   I have tried a installation in norwegian bokmaal on a i386 system. 
   Started installation in export mode and looked around in different 
   menus  to check translation. I changed the language back and forth 
   (nynorsk, english, bokmaal). Finally settled for bokmaal. Finished the 
   first stage and rebooted.
   When booting in to the installed system I get english as language.
   
   When doing an install and choosing language one time only, it gets 
   right, I get norwegian bokmaal as language
  
  Hmm, this is probably the same bug as #265085?  If so, we should merge 
  them.
 
 You're certainly right.
 
 Recai, can you have a look at these bugs. They are quite nasty and,
 I'm afraid, unanticipated consequences of the
 languagechooser/countrychooser interaction.
 
 The best is probably by forcing countrychooser again after a
 languagechooser run. However, I don't know how this could be
 achievedhence putting Joey in CC.

I have prepared a patch set for {contry,language}chooser explained as
follows:

+ countrychooser:
* debian/postinst:
  - Move the core code to a separate executable as 'countrychooser'.
  - Make it a wrapper to /usr/bin/countrychooser.
* debian/rules: Install countrychooser to /usr/bin.
* debian/dirs: New file.
* countrychooser: New file.  The functionality in postinst can be 
  reached easily.

+ languagechooser:
* Add a workaround to support language reselections.
  (Closes: #265085, #268815)

I've tested them here and seems fine to me.  Christian, could you also
give it a try?  As I stated in the code (FIXME comment) I couldn't
manage to find a better solution, maybe Joey suggests a more legal
solution for the problem.

One final note: Since the user changes the language, could it be
reasonable to ask him/her for keyboard also?  If you think so, here is
the code portion which I've got successful results, (but I don't like
the idea):

db_set debconf/priority critical
countrychooser
+   
+   # While on it, the user may also want to change keymap.
+   db_reset console-tools/arch
+   db_set debconf/priority high
+   kbd-chooser
 
db_set debconf/priority $save_priority
 ) || true

Bug#268815: Second stage in debian-installer starts up in english when swithcing languages during first stage

2004-09-01 Thread Christian Perrier

 I've tested them here and seems fine to me.  Christian, could you also
 give it a try?  As I stated in the code (FIXME comment) I couldn't
 manage to find a better solution, maybe Joey suggests a more legal
 solution for the problem.

Recai, thanks a lot for working on this. I use this occasion for
granting the work you're doing on these i18n issues : your help has
been and is still considerable.

I'm quite busy currently at work so I have far less time than earlier
weeks. 

As a consequence, I'm not really sure that I will have time for
testing. I'll try but I first want to work again on daily images
validation for French (which I've stopped since RC1).

IMHO, the change is quite invasive and, then, probably risky before
RC2. This means we will probably have to live with 268815 for RC2
unless I am wrong and the change is indeed not dangerous.

I'm confident in the quality of your patches, Recai, that's not really
the problem. Indeed, they're probably more robust than most of things
I've coded myself. However, changing things now is maybe not the
safest option.

268815 is, imho, not that grave as the situation where the user
changes the language during the install is quite unlikely.

I'm waiting for others input on this topic, of course

And, anyway, I'll make my best for testing the proposed patch.

In the more long future, we probably have to consider merging again
languagechooser and countrychooser together : both are working too
closely and making countrychooser a separate package may have been a
bad design choice (this was mine..:-)).

I imagine this to happen only after sarge release, however.

Bug#268792: [m68k] [20040828, rc1(?)] [nativehd] Failure with Debian installer RC1 on Macintosh Quadra650

2004-09-01 Thread Stephen R Marenka
On Tue, Aug 31, 2004 at 08:07:48PM +0200, Erik C.J. Laan wrote:

 Mind you my setup was not with a serial console, just with debugging 
 output send over the serial port (debug=ser console=tty0 (not ttyS0)). 
 From what I heard serial console's on Mac's work very bad.

Oh right, then this combined with it being a recent daily image means
you are probably seeing bts#269077 (incorrectly detecting
non-serial-console as serial console). Should be fixed soonish.

The debug serial and rc1 subject line had me looking elsewhere.

 Glad you finally got it installed.
 
 Also worth noting is that with the d-i beta3 I tested I could not start 
 the partitioning tool, because it needed more than 4 MB (ramdisk was 20 
 MB then). Now with the ramdisk_size dropped down to 13000 I have 11 MB 
 RAM left for the installer and the partitioning tool worked, and on top 
 of that the installation was 1,5 to 2 times faster.

Progress!

Presumably the same reason that's been there for years:

  boot-floppies | 3.0.22 |stable | source
  boot-floppies | 3.0.23 |  unstable | source

The actual disks-* directories in stable are 3.0.23, so the new source
needs to be pushed into stable before being removed.

Bug#269081: loop with back button

 I accidentially choose a network interface that is not connected. netcfg
 asked me if I wanted to do static configuration, and I pressed the back

 there took me back to the boolean question about static configuration.
 Loop..

Josh seems to have ripped out this code, which I'm not sure I agree with
at all. However, in case anyone wants to reintroduce it, the bug was
because the return value of debconf_go() was compared against 10 to
detect backup, but debconf_go() actually returns 30 for backup.

 BTW, what do you mean by Try deleting base-config/main-menu from your files, 
 I'm not that familiar with the installer so I'm not certain where I'd find 
 the file you mention.

I mean from the preseeding file you were using.

The version of partman in unstable fails to start. It hangs at 72% with
vistual.d/number running stralign with, apparently, not enough

Comments/Problems:

The install went flawlessly and without a hitch. Much easier than getting woody
on these systems, which required debootstrapping from a live cd, due the the odd
usb/pcmcia subsystems. Since I like minimal cruft when building my servers, the
minimal number of installed packages serves me well. Thanks again to all of the
d-i team for a great effort.

Bug#269336: Installation report Sarge RC1

2004-09-01 Thread Jutta Wrage
Am Mittwoch, 01.09.04 um 07:13 Uhr schrieb Christian Perrier:
- Why did the installation ask me not every time for the kernel to 
take?
Because it's asked only at medium priority. At high priority (default
installs) there's no need to bother users with that. The installed
kernel depends on the way you booted the install (linux26 or linux)
I swear, I did the same install every time: Hitting return. But the 
first time I was asked which kernel to take. The only difference 
between installs was my way back and forward and through the 
partitioning djungle, and maybe, hitting space one time at startup 
before return. And at first install, I waited a longer time for 
something to happen. Please recall: I did not see anything on the 
Startup-Screen than the picture.
I did not type linux, linux26 or anything else with numbers or 
letters.

Bug#269487: fails to start up with stralign hanging

2004-09-01 Thread Joey Hess
Package: partman
Severity: critical
Tags: d-i

Partman hangs on startup at 72% (Detecting file systems). 
ps shows init.d/70update_partitions is calling update.d/80visual which
is calling visual.d/nuimber, which is calling stralign  #6, which is
apparently hanging due to being given bad parameters.

After a while (2+ minutes), it does continue, but the partition tree is
all messed up, partitions are represented by something that is not human
readable, and selecting a partition does not work.

As best I can tell, visual.d/number is being passed the following
parameters:

/var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=ide=host0=bus0=target0=lun0=disc
6
96768-50061311
49964544
logical
ext3
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun

This is from /proc/pid/cmdline so may be wrong, and I suspect there's
more at the end.

Anyway, looking at visual.d/number, it seems to pass stralign two
parameters, a $number_width and $x, which is from partman/text/number's
description. Since I see stralign  #6 in ps, it must not be getting a
$number_width from anywhere. 

It looks like number_width used to be defined in partman/partman, but
this has been commented out in the most recent version, with the very
unhelpful commit message Many changes in partman, look at Debian
changelog files. Nothing I can see in the changelog mentions why it was
commented out.

Comments/Problems:

The install went as flawlessly as on the IDE install I did earlier. The
issue I ran into upon rebooting was due to the installer being given the
SCSI device as /dev/sdb during installation but it reverting to /dev/sda
on boot (due to the CD-Rom apparently) causing a kernel panic since it
couldn't find root.

An easy fix was to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the reference to 
/dev/sdb1 to /dev/sda1 (either before rebooting the first time or at the
Grub menu.) Also, an edit to /etc/fstab is required.

Other than that, an easy install and all hardware was recognized both during
installation as well as afterwards.

Thanks again,

Ok, since now we know that your box is a chrp one, we can tell a bit more

This should have helped. I naturally have no idea how the IBM OF is set out,
where the actual OF code is located, and what the free space is. Could you try
other load-base entries ? 

And BTW, how much memory you have on that box anyway ? 

Also, could provide the output of powerpc/netboot/2.4/vmlinuz-chrp.initrd as
well, and try to boot a standalone (without initrd) 2.6 kernel, by installing
kernel-image-2.6.8-powerpc, and running
  mkvmlinuz -n -o /tftpboot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-powerpc -k /boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-powerpc
and then booting the resulting kernel. You would need mkvmlinuz version 9 or
higher.

For the mkvmlinuz, I've found an old 7043-140 (Prep box, Ram 768 Mo, 2 
go hd) and tried to install Debian as it's easier I think, but I got 
kernel panic after netbooting the DI vmlinuz-prep.initrd. After some 
reading, I need to have 512 Mo max for RAM (if more are present, memory 
maps change and the prep loader doesn't work), so I remove some RAM and 
now it boots. I can configure the keyboard but it doesn't see my 
hardisk. I'm connected with minicom so it seems I can't switch to 
another virtual console to see any message. Do you have any idea for the 
non detection of my scsi hardisk and card ?

Back to my 7043-150. My box have 1 Go of RAM, so perhaps, I'm having the 
same problem. Tomorrow I'll downgrade it to 256 Mo and try the last DI 
build to see if I've the same CLAIM failed. If this doesn't work, I'll 
try to install debian on my 7043-140 and use the mkvmlinux tip

Bug#269281: Package: installation-reports

2004-09-01 Thread Jorge D. Ortiz Fuentes
Joey,
   The only configuration I cannot remember how I configured aptitude, 
so I have rerun the whole process and this is what I did:
1. After the base system is configured and grub installed.
2. I set the root password and a regular user.
3. Apt config:
   - I do not add any other cd.
   - It asks if I want to configure another apt source? and I said no. 
Probably this is what I did wrong, but the message is a bit confusing 
since it claims that The Debian package management tool, apt, is now 
configured, and can install 171 packages. However, you may want to add 
another source to apt so it can download packages from more than one 
location.
   - After that I set no proxy and chose to select packages manually.
   - This results in the configuration that I explained in my previous 
mails.

Hope this is more clear.
   Jorge

You left out an explanation of how you chose to configure your
sources.list before aptitude was run. That's exactly the information I
asked for in the first place..
 

6. I run apt-setup manually to add the required lines to continue
installing the system from the network.
   

I'm confused by the fact that you seem to be able to run apt-setup
manually and get it to do what you want, but when the exact same
apt-setup program is run automatically for you as part of the
installation process as step 1.5 above, you don't seem to be able to set
things up there. Why not?

Bug#268815: Second stage in debian-installer starts up in english when swithcing languages during first stage

2004-09-01 Thread Recai Oktas
* Christian Perrier [2004-09-01 17:20:11+0200]
 
  I've tested them here and seems fine to me.  Christian, could you also
  give it a try?  As I stated in the code (FIXME comment) I couldn't
  manage to find a better solution, maybe Joey suggests a more legal
  solution for the problem.
 
 Recai, thanks a lot for working on this. I use this occasion for
 granting the work you're doing on these i18n issues: your help has
 been and is still considerable.

Thanks for your comments :-)

 I'm quite busy currently at work so I have far less time than earlier
 weeks. 
 
 As a consequence, I'm not really sure that I will have time for
 testing. I'll try but I first want to work again on daily images
 validation for French (which I've stopped since RC1).
 
 IMHO, the change is quite invasive and, then, probably risky before
 RC2. This means we will probably have to live with 268815 for RC2
 unless I am wrong and the change is indeed not dangerous.

IMO, the change is not so invasive as it appears.  The patch for the
countrychooser does only a simple code move and it is perfectly possible
to ignore it at all, at the expense of using a somewhat ugly call as
'/var/lib/dpkg/info/countrychooser.postinst'.  The critical code is in
the languagechooser patch, but I think it should be a safe change,
because I deliberately put the code in a '(...) || true' block, so that
a failure case does not stuck the installation.  (Maybe we should
change it as e.g. '(...) || { log failure to reselect language }')

 I'm confident in the quality of your patches, Recai, that's not really
 the problem. Indeed, they're probably more robust than most of things
 I've coded myself. However, changing things now is maybe not the
 safest option.
 
 268815 is, imho, not that grave as the situation where the user
 changes the language during the install is quite unlikely.

Yes, I agree, it's not so serious.

 I'm waiting for others input on this topic, of course
 
 And, anyway, I'll make my best for testing the proposed patch.
 
 In the more long future, we probably have to consider merging again
 languagechooser and countrychooser together: both are working too
 closely and making countrychooser a separate package may have been a
 bad design choice (this was mine..:-)).
 
 I imagine this to happen only after sarge release, however.

Right.  We should merge them in future.

Partman hangs on startup at 72% (Detecting file systems).=20
ps shows init.d/70update_partitions is calling update.d/80visual which
is calling visual.d/nuimber, which is calling stralign  #6, which is
apparently hanging due to being given bad parameters.

After a while (2+ minutes), it does continue, but the partition tree is
all messed up, partitions are represented by something that is not human
readable, and selecting a partition does not work.

As best I can tell, visual.d/number is being passed the following
parameters:

/var/lib/partman/devices/=3Ddev=3Dide=3Dhost0=3Dbus0=3Dtarget0=3Dlun0=3Ddisc
6
96768-50061311
49964544
logical
ext3
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun

This is from /proc/pid/cmdline so may be wrong, and I suspect there's
more at the end.

Anyway, looking at visual.d/number, it seems to pass stralign two
parameters, a $number_width and $x, which is from partman/text/number's
description. Since I see stralign  #6 in ps, it must not be getting a
$number_width from anywhere.=20

It looks like number_width used to be defined in partman/partman, but
this has been commented out in the most recent version, with the very
unhelpful commit message Many changes in partman, look at Debian
changelog files. Nothing I can see in the changelog mentions why it was
commented out.

  Hm. I just referenced the code which was already in rootskel, supposing
  it was working OK, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Checking on my
  VME box, however, the /proc/self/fd/* files also link to /dev/console,
  so there is no way this problem could be fixed by slightly modifying the
  check.
 
 The difference is that the original code was called by debian-installer 
 and the new code is called in sbin/init, which has a different
 context. 

Ah, that explains. Darn.

I'll try and see whether I can find a difference from that context,
then, but I'm afraid not.

 Can the following sbin/init code be moved to 
 lib/debian-installer.d/S30term?
 
 if [ $TERM_TYPE = serial ]; then
 for i in 2 3 4 5; do
 rm -f /dev/vc/$i
 done
 fi

No, I tried that; by that time, it's too late.

 This seems to solve the detection problem for me.
 
 Do you really need to delete the extra vc devices?

Yes; because busybox init currently checks whether the devices are there
(whether the files exist), and if they are, tries to open them.
Repeatedly. Issuing an error every time it fails (which, of course,
happens every time). Removing the files once those error messages start
to appear only changes the error that appears; and with those messages
going over the screen, the usefulness of d-i is quite, uh, low.

This obviously really is a bug in busybox init, hence my previous
suggestion to try and fix that one.

 Because it's asked only at medium priority. At high priority (default
 installs) there's no need to bother users with that. The installed
 kernel depends on the way you booted the install (linux26 or linux)
 
 I swear, I did the same install every time: Hitting return. But the 
 first time I was asked which kernel to take. The only difference 
 between installs was my way back and forward

Going back drops debconf priority (successful menu items after the
back-up gradually raise it again); this could easily have led to
confusion.

 For the mkvmlinuz, I've found an old 7043-140 (Prep box, Ram 768 Mo, 2 
 go hd) and tried to install Debian as it's easier I think, but I got 
 kernel panic after netbooting the DI vmlinuz-prep.initrd. After some 
 reading, I need to have 512 Mo max for RAM (if more are present, memory 
 maps change and the prep loader doesn't work), so I remove some RAM and 
 now it boots. I can configure the keyboard but it doesn't see my 
 hardisk. I'm connected with minicom so it seems I can't switch to 
 another virtual console to see any message. Do you have any idea for the 
 non detection of my scsi hardisk and card ?

Yes, you probably have a sym53c8xx based driver, and it needs the
scsi_transport module which Jens mentioned was missing. Jens added it to the
modules, but i am waiting for Jens to rebuild a powerpc kernel based on the
2.6.8-5 kernel-source to make a new upload. This should fix this problem.

In any case, could you go to console 2, and give us the content of /proc/pci
and /proc/bus/pci/devices, so we can confirm that this is it ? 

 Back to my 7043-150. My box have 1 Go of RAM, so perhaps, I'm having the 
 same problem. Tomorrow I'll downgrade it to 256 Mo and try the last DI 
 build to see if I've the same CLAIM failed. If this doesn't work, I'll 
 try to install debian on my 7043-140 and use the mkvmlinux tip

Ok.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

debconf constructs to watch out for, to support preseeding

2004-09-01 Thread Joey Hess
The debconf preseeding support that I've added to d-i relies on d-i
components not doing things with debconf that mae preseeding impossible.
Please watch out for the following uses of debconf:

 - Reset before asking a question:

   db_reset some/question
   db_input high some/question
   db_go
   db_get some/question
   # Do something with $RET here

   Resetting the question clears the preseeded value and unsets the seen
   flag, which destroys any preseeded value. This can generally be
   changed to do the reset after asking the question, which will let the
   first ask of it be preseeded:

   db_input high some/question
   db_go
   db_get some/question
   # Do something with $RET here
   db_reset some/question

 - Explicitly setting a question's answer before asking it:

   db_set some/question blah
   ...
   db_input high some/question

   This just wipes out any preseeded value. Generally this can be
   changed to set a good default in the templates file, and if
   necessary, reset the question after asking it. Another approach that
   works sometimes is to avoid setting the question if it already has a
   value or is already seen.

 - Unsetting seen flag.

   db_fset some/question seen false

   This is completly unnecessary, and it just makes preseeding not work.
   In the d-i environment, if you ask a question twice, the user will
   see it twice, without you needing to touch the seen flag. The only
   valid use of touching the seen flag is setting it to true, to prevent
   a question from being displayes, as preseeding and a few other places
   in d-i do.

I've fixed some of the worst offenders and hopefully it will be possible
to preseed all the questions asked in a standard install fairly soon.

Re: i386 pxelinux netboot + serial console

 Applied in essence, thanks. One thing I was not able to check is whether
 f1.txt has the correct number of lines on a serial console. Your version
 had it one line too long (should be 23) on regular console.

Seems OK to me apart from f3.txt.with26: see attached patch

The number of lines on a serial console depends on the console. We could
perhaps add an extra line making it 24 lines for a serial console but
probably best to leave alone for now as serial output is OK.

NB: I have only tested the netboot with serial console for this patch. I
have not tested the vga console.Index: installer/build/boot/x86/f3.txt.with26

 If unsure, you should use the default boot method, with no special
