Bug#261671: Missing entries for languagechooser
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.

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.

Re: Red X -- not quite gone yet...
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!

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

Bug#269077: serial check
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.

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

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

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.

Bug#269081: loop with back button
On Mon, Aug 30, 2004 at 02:21:39PM -0400, Joey Hess wrote: 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 button to go back and select the right interface instead. But the back button took me to a hostname config script. And the back button from 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. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

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.

Bug#269487: fails to start up with stralign hanging
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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

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.

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 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 Regards Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#269281: Package: installation-reports
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 Joey Hess wrote: Jorge D. Ortiz Fuentes wrote: ~Let me reword my explanation. 1. I installed from the sarge-i386-netinst.iso CD using English as language and Europe/Spain as location. 2. The installation finishes (at least for me) running aptitude. 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.

Bug#268815: Second stage in debian-installer starts up in english when swithcing languages during first stage
* 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. -- roktas signature.asc Description: Digital signature

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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=3Den_US, LC_CTYPE=3Den_US --=20 see shy jo --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBNhtBd8HHehbQuO8RAinwAJ9AudFMWv9kRlm/VnAJexWbkrrpgwCfYF5h vIPaIHGlP8u+Tu/QvUq6/og= =yQVV -END PGP SIGNATURE- --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z-- --- Received: (at 269487-done) by bugs.debian.org; 1 Sep 2004 20:29:28 + From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 01 13:29:28 2004 Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from kitenet.net [64.62.161.42] (postfix) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1C2bjU-0001VX-00; Wed, 01 Sep 2004 13:29:28 -0700 Received: from dragon.kitenet.net (unknown [66.168.94.144]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (Client CN Joey Hess, Issuer Joey Hess (verified OK)) by kitenet.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6594B1803B for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Wed, 1 Sep 2004 20:29:27 + (GMT) Received: by dragon.kitenet.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id
Bug#269077: serial check
On Wed, Sep 01, 2004 at 09:27:12AM -0500, Stephen R Marenka wrote: 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. 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. -- EARTH smog | bricks AIR -- mud -- FIRE soda water | tequila WATER -- with thanks to fortune signature.asc Description: Digital signature

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.

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 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 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

debconf constructs to watch out for, to support preseeding
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. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
