I think problem is 5.2G /var/log/lastlog on fresh (only first logged user ever) installed OS. I really don't know what to add... I don't know POSIX, please answer the following. File system file's block map may *not* be the same as actual data blocks after truncate() ? If so, i'm going to check ls/dd size and du size of all files. I think this is wrong unless proved otherwise. so if you want it, you'll need to write a patch to xfsprogs packaging to do it (which I will happily accept, provided its tested and works). I'll try.

Bug#382670: debian-installer: Sudo not properly configured
Gustavo Noronha Silva wrote: Could be done, as well, but I'd prefer the gconf route, since that doesn't require patching .desktop files. Something that comes to my mind is providing a debconf key in the gksu packge that would never be asked, or would be 'low', and that would be used to decide which gconf schema should be installed as default (using alternatives, I don't know), one of the schemas would have sudo-mode on by default. Does that sound overengineered to you Joey? If the schema file is managed by alternatives, I think it would be better to let d-i detect this case and switch to the sudo alternative. Users can choose to use a sudo-only setup in expert mode so a hidden question isn't the best approach. I guess that would work if we don't have a easy way of setting a default gconf setting at install time. Unless there's some way to do it without access to DISPLAY chrooted into the target system, I doubt we can do that. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The rdate command prints time in the prevailing timezone (as specified by the TZ environment variable, to to print the date and time in UTC, do TZ=UTC rdate -p).

Bug#384248: installation-report: Almost successful Etch installation with di-beta3
Thanks for your detailed report. Despite the fact that network was not configured and there was no way to get accurate time from ntp server, and despite UTC=no setting in /etc/default/rcS, d-i changed hardware clock to a wrong value (a few hours ahead), although the clock was set correctly to local time before the installation. During default installs, D-I does not ask the question about the hardware clock being set to UTC or not. So, if you want to have an hardware clock set to local time, you should use medium priority. I selected Russian key-map during installation, but looks like Russian font was not installed (or properly configured). Therefore, switching to Russian in console via right-Ctrl - (this is another inconveniency -- I hate this way of switching key maps, because I use right-Ctrl for typing Ctrl+some_key) - gave me some fancy characters instead of Russian letters on the screen. Also I couldn't read Russian text in UTF-8 encoding on console which should be UTF-8 enabled AFAIK. This is on the installed system, right? For Russian, console-cyrillic should be installed. Unfortunately, we no more have people active in testing Russian in the D-I team, with the required knowledge of specificities of the language rendering. CC'ing Eugenyi Mescheryakov.can you look at this, eugen? I have various USB devices connected to my PC. Logs about some of them always appear after bor login: prompt. Looks very unprofessional although I'm used to unexpected Linux kernel messages on the console. This has nothing to do with the installer, I'm afraid. BTW, I also don't like Linux kernel messages at the console. Probably something to set in syslog stuff, which I never succeeded to find. I agree this is pretty annoying. Besides that, backspace key stops working after invalid username/password combination, and it becomes possible to move the cursor over the whole screen. Nothing to do with the installer. Please investigate it, but this is indeed very probably due to non ASCII input in the login. All the remaining does not really belong to the installer and should be reported against the relevant packages. I heard about 'script' utility before, and wanted to create a log of my initial system set up, but 'script' killed the log when I ran it the second time. In other words 'script' should not overwrite default 'typescript' file, but rather create a backup of already present one. I understand though that this is not d-i deficiency. Configuring USB ADSL modem (via eciadsl, for the first time in Linux) was a real pain for me. I had to reboot back and forth between Windows with working ADSL Internet connection and fresh installed Debian Etch without Internet connection to dig for ADSL configuration information (which turned to be very vague from newcomer's point of view) and manually download required Debian packages and theirs dependencies. I believe average non-technical PC users had no chances to overcome this major obstacle of conecting Debian to the Internet via USB ADSL modem. /etc/apt/sources.list was not updated with any Debian mirror line, (presumably due to failed network configuration). So I had to search it in apt documentation examples, and guess correct domain name of the nearest mirror. I wish 'gpm' and 'less' packages were the part of netinst CD. I wish I could configure console beep sound during installation so that my wife didn't get angry about beeping through filesystem at 2am, and I needn't look for 2 year old notes with magic escape sequnces for the beep. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It's unfinished, nothing generates po files for it yet. reportbug seems not to be localised, so doing it would probably be a better use of time than this minor script that uses reportbug. Yes, interesting suggestion. Recording this wishlist bug to reportbug. I CC debian-i18n in case someone wants to help the reportbug maintainer to internationalize it. It would be a very interesting feature to have. reportbug is a Python program, so let's see if one of the Debian i18n people has the skills, knowledge...and time to work on this.

Bug#384248: installation-report: Almost successful Etch installation with di-beta3
clone 384248 -1 reassing -1 localechooser retitle -1 localechooser: Should not overwrite console-cyrillic configuration thanks 23 серпня 2006 о 10:03 +0200 Christian Perrier написав(-ла): I selected Russian key-map during installation, but looks like Russian font was not installed (or properly configured). Therefore, switching to Russian in console via right-Ctrl - (this is another inconveniency -- I hate this way of switching key maps, because I use right-Ctrl for typing Ctrl+some_key) - gave me some fancy characters instead of Russian letters on the screen. Also I couldn't read Russian text in UTF-8 encoding on console which should be UTF-8 enabled AFAIK. did you also select Russian locale during installation? Was console-cyrillic configured during installation? It should ask about switch keys with right-Alt as default (but in installed system it will be configured with Ctrl-Shift, due to bug). I tried default installation in Russian (RF) in qemu with network off, and console-cyrillic was installed. There was also dialogs displayed by console-cyrillic after tasksel were I was able to select switch keys, but those choices was later overwritten by localechooser's finish-install. That was not a problem in earlier versions of d-i because console-cyrillic was configured in second stage, after finish-install (or how it was called). But now it is confusing. localechooser should preseed console-cyrillic or do not try to change it's configuration at all. This bug is probably reproducible with all languages that have cyr=... in languagelist (Russian, Belarusian). This is on the installed system, right? For Russian, console-cyrillic should be installed. Unfortunately, we no more have people active in testing Russian in the D-I team, with the required knowledge of specificities of the language rendering. CC'ing Eugenyi Mescheryakov.can you look at this, eugen? I have various USB devices connected to my PC. Logs about some of them always appear after bor login: prompt. Looks very unprofessional although I'm used to unexpected Linux kernel messages on the console. This has nothing to do with the installer, I'm afraid. BTW, I also don't like Linux kernel messages at the console. Probably something to set in syslog stuff, which I never succeeded to find. I agree this is pretty annoying. Besides that, backspace key stops working after invalid username/password combination, and it becomes possible to move the cursor over the whole screen. Nothing to do with the installer. Please investigate it, but this is indeed very probably due to non ASCII input in the login. All the remaining does not really belong to the installer and should be reported against the relevant packages. I heard about 'script' utility before, and wanted to create a log of my initial system set up, but 'script' killed the log when I ran it the second time. In other words 'script' should not overwrite default 'typescript' file, but rather create a backup of already present one. I understand though that this is not d-i deficiency. Configuring USB ADSL modem (via eciadsl, for the first time in Linux) was a real pain for me. I had to reboot back and forth between Windows with working ADSL Internet connection and fresh installed Debian Etch without Internet connection to dig for ADSL configuration information (which turned to be very vague from newcomer's point of view) and manually download required Debian packages and theirs dependencies. I believe average non-technical PC users had no chances to overcome this major obstacle of conecting Debian to the Internet via USB ADSL modem. /etc/apt/sources.list was not updated with any Debian mirror line, (presumably due to failed network configuration). So I had to search it in apt documentation examples, and guess correct domain name of the nearest mirror. I wish 'gpm' and 'less' packages were the part of netinst CD. I wish I could configure console beep sound during installation so that my wife didn't get angry about beeping through filesystem at 2am, and I needn't look for 2 year old notes with magic escape sequnces for the beep. -- Eugeniy Meshcheryakov signature.asc Description: Digital signature

One comment and one question so far: partman-auto-raid/init.d/initial_auto_raid seems to contain a copy of confirm_changes() from partman-base/definitions.sh Would it be possible to use lvm on top of the md device? The reason that I'm asking is that it would allow all the existing recipies to be used, no separate recipe format would be necessary for RAID (just preseed disk and raid level) and much of the heavy lifting could be done by partman-auto-lvm once partman-auto-raid has setup the md device. In addition I think it would make it much easier to hook up partman-auto-raid to the partman-auto UI. Regards, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Tests with PPPoE connection
hi, actually it's a different error that occurs after the 'mv'. the mv fixes one issue. the other issue has to do with which physical device is actually connected to the DSL service provider. (usually in my case(s) a bridged modem/router.) debconf pollution? Now that's not nice ;-) but sounds right. the way the install progresses from netcfg to pppconfig is another one problem. when i do an install over a DSL connection... all i need is the ppp0 for install purposes... d-i won't let me proceed that way(or I haven't found it..) PPPoE-Config- -pick the physical device(eth0, eth1, ...(if more than 1) -get username and pass -bring up the provider pppoe(ppp0) -(ppp0) fixes the routing(if not user provide the default) -(ppp0) adds the name servers(if not user provide the name servers) - PPPoE-Config complete would work in my case...or something like that... I will retry an install tonight.. (EDT) and attempt to get a much better handle on it. Is there a way to not have the netcfg option... just ether detection? I had the same issue he(Mr. Colpart) had even after i did the patch b4 it asked for user name. I think you may be right the postinst script is picking a non-fatal error.

Bug#379789: wrong keymap on Intel MacBook Pro

(1) During installation, on the screen Benutzer und Passwörter I
tried to enter an umlaut (namely Rüdiger). The Umlaut showed as
something else (I think it was FC), and could not be removed.
Neither Backspace nor the left arrow key were working. I had to go
back one screen and reopen the screen, this time entering my name
without umlauts. Then backspace was working again.
This is a known issue. Unfortunately we don't have a solution for it yet.
This issue has just been fixed with version 1.30 of kbd-chooser
(2) The system is running, but those characters that are entered
using alt cannot be reached. On a Mac, this includes |, [, ]
, {, }, and @. Umlauts are working.
You should be able to enter these characters using some kind of function
key combination. If Intel based MacBooks use Macintosh keyboard layouts
this problem is expected as we currently don't support USB-MAC keymaps
for i386.
You can select a USB-MAC keymap after the installation using
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Reassigning this report to kbd-chooser so this can be fixed in the future.
hopefully this will be fixed soon

After installing of the base system I selected the item »back« to enter the main menu. Now I selected software installation but the software selection dialog shows only a Please wait ... mesage with a progress of 1%. The syslog and the ps ax output indicate that apt is running and probably waits for input: I can now reproduce it and found also the problem: APT is not able to mount a Debian CD, since APT searchs by default in /cdrom (see #282344) but /target/etc/fstab refers to /media/cdrom0. Setting Acquire::cdrom::mount /media/cdrom0 in /target/etc/apt/apt.conf fixes this. To reproduce it use the Beta 3 netinst ISO (install target) and install a system without network mirror. Once the installation finished the CD is unmounted. Now select again Select and install software and try to install another task. The system hangs now because APT cannot mount the CD. The same happens if the user unmout the CD manually ... Jens

Bug#375491: patch suggestion
The basic algorithm looks OK, but you should probably try to use the general functions already available in lvm_tools.sh (part of the partman-lvm package) instead of the direct calls to pvs and vgs. I begin at the end, since that was the easy part. Attached is a patch doing the same, but using the functions from lvm_tools.sh I might give a shot at the other issues too, but since i am mostly fumbeling around it may take quite some time.

The biggest problem that occured was that I could not type single characters - the installation programs would type two characters instead of one. I figured this would be something I could handle during the install, hoping it went away during the actual installed system. This resulted in a horrible attempt to partition, because every enter key would put me to the manual partitioning table and then right back to the guided partitioning. I went to the graphical install and then could click continue instead of pressing enter which worked, but any keyboard input was still being doubled. I discovered during the selection of tasks through tasksel that mouse clicks were also doubled (I was unable to remove the Desktop task). (although it doesn't look like it doubles for the normal checkboxes, just the ones in a list) I also tried plugging in a external USB keyboard but got the same issues. I tried booting into expert mode so I could enable the ssh console, but I could not enable it because when I tried to select it, it would also deselect it. I was able to get through everything but the boot loader installation using the graphical installer. The trackpad seemed unresponsive and slow while using the GUI installer. -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Many comments to Beta 3
Hi, (please CC: me) I tested the current Beta 3 of the installer (my aim was not to install a new system, that's why I send no installation report) and want to inform you about my experiences. There are many little issues which are mostly not very important. I used the netinst image from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta3/i386/iso-cd/. The first confusing fact are the names: debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso (38MB) debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso (139MB) I know this has been already discussed in the past but now I have a local pocket CD available and noticed that it fits up to 210 MB. So it's sufficient large for a netinst CD. The businesscard ISO name is that's why confusing. Why not swap the names? (A netinst CD is also useful as rescue system, ... without network connection at all, a businesscard CD probably not.) I also suggest to create links in iso-dvd/ as well, since these are also valid DVD images. The following refers to the graphical user frontend and expert mode but I also tested the newt and partially text frontend: There is a Screenshot button which I cannot select/use. I tried TAB and cursor keys, no success! An Alt+S shortcut (which is visible via: _Screenshot) would be nice. I tried also my print key but the button appearance did not change (no pressed+release animation or something fancy like this). I have also an ugly mouse cursor in the middle of the screen. Since the mouse does not work I suggest to hide it (e.g. by moving it to the bottom right corner). Or is there a proper mouse support for some types of mice? I use an ordinary three button serial mouse (/dev/ttyS1) with the Microsoft mouse protocol. There is no way to configure the mouse but gpm (maybe using a repeater mode so that the graphical frontend (and later X?) needs to understand only one protocol) is easy to configure and could also be used to copy and paste text during the installation. Update: I bought a USB mouse today which works. Also important and probably very easy to fix: Three dots (...) are displayed as ... The text frontend handles this right. Maybe I should use U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS (…). Is this supported? What about en-dashs (are these also supported in the newt,text,... frontends)? Is there any reason why the kernel option for the serial console (console=ttyS0,115200n8) is not used by default (or at least mentioned in the help screens)? May it cause trouble without serial interface? I get in minicom no fancy ascii graphic (UTF-8 terminal): +��+ [?] Debian installer main menu +���+ Also only C and English locale can be used. What encoding works via serial console, only 7 bit ascii (that's not yet contained in the manual!)? Also the newt frontend is still not able to handle 8 bit character input, e.g. for the file system label. Entering such a string destroys the dialog. Even if I specify console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 I cannot access the menu on the PC, only via serial console (but the kernel messages occur on both terminals). Is this a debian-installer limitation because it uses only the first console= argument? The string Choose language at the beginning of the installation process (e.g. during the locale selction) is not translated even after I selected German. After a Go Back and reconfiguration it changed into the mixed term Sprache wählen/Choose language. Also untranslated: Configure and start a PPPoE connection (main menu) #. This shows up in a screen summarizing options and will be followed #. by yes or no #: ../partman-crypto.templates:113 msgid Erase data: Why are yes and no not translated? The following translation (a dialog title) will be truncated: #: ../partman-base.templates:304 msgid Partition disks The text which occurs in the dialog is short: #: ../partman-partitioning.templates:110 msgid Type for the new partition: Maybe I could add spaces after the string to increase it, but this is not optimal! I get the message This computer may have a PCMCIA interface. but I definitively have no PCMCIA interface, only two ordinary ethernet cards (one is a ISA card). During the network detection the installer wants to load the floppy module!??? Network configuration: My PC is connected via eth0 with my notebook which itself is connected (via eth2) to my router. There is no direct connection to the router. I enter my notebook as gateway but cannot specify a nameserver (I have not installed bind). I would like to use my router as nameserver but this requires a route add -host router ip gw notebook ip which I currently start manually from another console or ssh. I know that there exists various solutions (nevertheless I like my current configuration): * installation of a nameserver on the notebook * direct connection to the router * DHCP If I do not enter a nameserver and go back to the manual network config, the nameserver is preseeded with the gateway! Also my No to DHCP usage is not remembered, the default is always Yes.
Bug#343304: kbd-chooser: Ukrainian keyboard does not work (1st 2nd stages)
retitle 343304 kbd-chooser: Ukrainian keyboard does not work (installed system) thanks 14 грудня 2005 о 11:10 +0200 Eugeniy Meshcheryakov написав(-ла): When trying to install Debian in Ukrainian language and Ukrainian keyboard layout selected it is impossible to enter Cyrillic characters in 1st stage (it should be possible to switch to cyrillic layout by pressing right ctrl or alt key). In 2nd stage I get only white boxes instead of characters when entering from keyboard (but cyrillic characters are displayed correctly by programs like base-config). Keymap file /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz looks completely incorrect (no charset declaration, some strange compose sequences, ...). Update: it is possible to enter Cyrillic characters in installer with kbd-chooser 1.30 (it needed keyboard in unicode mode to work). After installation /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz contains junk, so nothing changed here. Also, I tried to install system with mini.iso and did not get tasksel screen, and 'ukrainian' task was not installed, and there were no console-cyrillic in installed system. But if other images run tasksel that bug will not be so important (at least for Ukrainian) because console-cyrillic will setup keyboar correctly (hopefully, but I'll retest later). -- Eugeniy Meshcheryakov signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#384323: Bug#384248: installation-report: Almost successful Etch installation with di-beta3
severity 384323 important thanks Quoting Eugenyi Meshcheryakov analyzing a bug report about broken installer in Russian: I tried default installation in Russian (RF) in qemu with network off, and console-cyrillic was installed. There was also dialogs displayed by console-cyrillic after tasksel were I was able to select switch keys, but those choices was later overwritten by localechooser's finish-install. That was not a problem in earlier versions of d-i because console-cyrillic was configured in second stage, after finish-install (or how it was called). But now it is confusing. localechooser should preseed console-cyrillic or do not try to change it's configuration at all. This bug is probably reproducible with all languages that have cyr=... in languagelist (Russian, Belarusian). That bug is then here sinceD-I beta2 IN MARCH 2006and not a single Russian user noticed...:-( I find this pretty sad and this indeed shows the poor level of testing that some language teams ad international users and developers give to the localized installer. It somewhat reinforces the feeling of Frans that we really should activate languages that HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY TESTED. I'm yelling right now because I'm quite angry. We put a lot of efforts to allow you guys having an installer translated in all your languages and such negligence is really desperating. This is not addressed to you, Eugen, of course. I know that you not only *translate* to your language but also TEST the installation in Ukrainian. You even do properly analysis for bugs in other languages like this one and I'm grateful to you. I wish I could say the same for all other languages. Thanks, Dmitry, also, for reporting this bug. There's at least one Russian user who uses D-I in his own language I consider this bug makes D-I currently not releasable with Russian activated. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Tests with PPPoE connection

Hmm, you are saying that you get this error even if you move the pppoe.so plugin in the proper place? Yes. That error is the classical case of debconf polution, so I suspect some unexpected output from either of the commands in the postinst script. May I suggest doing the move from console 2 before entering the PPP username. Please tell me if the error message still appears. I did the move from tty2 before entering in PPPoE menu. Then error message still appears. Maybe is time to compare the patch I sent in BTS with the one that ended up in the official package. When I select 'continue', I return on 'Configure the network' entry but my network connection is now ready. I will try to retry/investiguate tomorrow. So the PPPoE connection is actually up? Yes, and works fine. Note that (almost?) always in my tests the concentrator was not found from the first attempt after a fresh boot, but the search did succeed in later probes. Have you ever encountered this problem? (I was never sure if this was a provider issue or a coding issue and I would be glad to sort it out.) With my two or three tests, concentrator was found from the first attempt after fresh boot.
