Re: A small udeb contribution from an arm-chair developer
Geert Stappers wrote: First: The idea of promoting of software (enhancements) does intrique me. This posting is mostly about "What is so good about these udebs?" Reading the announce of the multi-netcfg and multi-partman packages, I couldn't see where the added value is, nor didn't see where the Debian-installer should/could be improved. Please try "to sell" the packages to me. Consider me as an administrator of several computers who is allready able to install those systems handsfree with d-i and that I'm willing to change my setup for a better configuration. Hmm... Not much of a salesman, am I? All right, let's see here... Let's say that you have about 50 or 100 (or more) machines that you are going to install Debian on, and not all of the machines are the same: - Some may be low-cost PC workstations with a maximum of 40GB hard dives - Some may be Sun UltraSPARC SMP servers (or some other non-PC architecture machines) - Some may be high-end, multi-core multimedia boxes w/ a minimum of 400GB and snappy 3D cards that require special drivers packages to be installed - Machines may be broken up in locations that span multiple buildings and multiple subnets. Whatever their differences, the only thing homogeneous about these machines is that they are all to have Debian installed on them. Furthermore, lets say that for whatever reason, a DHCP server and/or a netboot installation just doesn't work for you. (Maybe you don't have a DHCP server and you don't want to take the time to set one up. Or maybe you're in the same boat with me and you don't have access to your organization's DHCP server, and whenever a new, unconfigured host appears on the net, the DHCP server /always/ gives out the wrong network configuration information, so that you can't use DHCP anyway.) To the best of my knowledge, with the stock Debian installer that you have now, you only have two options left to you: do each installation manually, or build a separate installation media for each machine, where each media includes just the preseed files necessary for that one machine. One approach is just asking for human error, and the second approach requires either writing lots of media, or blanking and re-writing the media over and over again in between each installation. What would be nice, instead, is if you could just have one copy of installation media per architecture, and place on each media all of the preseed information for all of the machines you're installing, and have the Debian installer automagically choose the correct set of preseed files for each machine. This is where my multi-config udebs come in. The first udeb, multi-netcfg, is run just after the ethernet hardware has been discovered, but before the network has been configured. Multi-netcfg will search for ethernet hardware on the install client and build a list of hardware addresses. Then multi-netcfg will search for a preseed file (or a directory containing preseed files) that match any of the hardware addresses for the ethernet cards it has found. If it finds anything that matches, then it will read the preseed information into the debconf database for use by the installer. Presumably this preseed information includes the necessary network configuration, but it could just as easily include hard drive partitioning information, or package selection, or X11 configuration -- or anything that can be preseeded for udebs that are run after network hardware discovery. And if no preseed file is found that matches for this host, then no harm/no foul, nothing is preseeded and networking can still be configured either by DHCP or manually by the admin. The second udeb, multi-partman is very similar in function. It's run after the drives have been discovered but before partitioning occurs. It too will search for preseed files based on ethernet hardware addresses, but it can also search for preseed files based on hostname, IP address, or the number and sizes of disks found. It also has a fallback feature where a generic partitioning preseed file can be used in the event that no other preseed files/directories match for this install client. And again, if no preseed file is found that matches this install client (and no default has been specified), then partitioning can still be done manually by the admin. The inspiration for these udebs was a desire to minimize human error as well as effort. The udebs are tiny (1.5k and 1.9k respectively), and are architecture-independent, so they should run on any architecture for which a port of the Debian installer exists. Michael Peek P.S. Perhaps the situation in which I find myself is merely one small niche in the larger Debain administrator community, but it was a niche in need of a fill. Therefore, I give back to the community my solution: the multi-config package. P.P.S. Act now, and I'll even throw in a jpeg of a jade elephant. P.P.P.S. I'll be rea

If you had a sata1 drive, a dvd-recorder on hda, and an old ide on hdb, what would you consider to be your first harddisk? Is a sata1 drive not a harddisk? Most importantly, this behaviour isn't mentioned in the dialogue nor documented in the guide, so at the very least, this is an important piece of information to add to both. > Closing your report as there were no real new issues. I must say I feel put off by this. Most of the issues are minor (as I myself also stated), but the sata problem cost me a lot of time (as did the careful documentation and submission of my installation report) and I feel completely guiltless in this issue. It's not a faq, it's not in the guide, it's unexpected behaviour, and it cost me a couple hours. All you need is to do is add a comment to the grub dialogue screen and the guide to the effect that this might be a problem. How can you be so cavalier about closing this bug and stating "no real issues"? Most new computers have sata drives and many people installing new systems will be plugging in some old ide drive to transfer data from. Are you prepared to potentially waste the hours of other people's lives by not addressing this real problem? I don't think the acpi thing should be so flippantly disregarded either.

What > do you think of this proposal? As Steve already said, I don't feel there is any real risk that udebs will get installed on a normal system as you'd have to add a really twisted line in your sources.list to get them. Also, packages.d.o already includes a huge warning with each udeb; see for example: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/debian-installer/grub-installer So I also don't see any need to standardize such a warning in the package descriptions. It would just be a lot of work that does not any real value. Cheers, FJP pgpf9ZGAWatdL.pgp Description: PGP signature
[g-i] new screenshots available (dejavu 2.16)
Hi,
bubulle has kindly uploaded the new version of ttf-dejavu (2.16-1).
I took the usual screenshots; please refer to [1] to see what changed
since version 2.15.
The screenshots can be found in [2], where you can see what changed
from the previous version.
You'll notice there are many differences: it is a bug in pango, which
is said to be currently worked on.
For those who care here is a conversation on #dejavu about the problem:
i think it's the latn {DNK DFLT} that makes pango overkern
i think it's this bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334758
it only seems to be affecting Latin script, so it's probably
overkerning with pango
but what triggered it just starting with 2.16?
kerning classes?
no
it's the two languages DNK and dflt
before 2.16 the kerning was only latn {dflt}
now it's latn {DNK, dflt}
moyogo: is there any reason why pango is not fixed yet?
or do they think that this is not a bug?
if DejaVu doesn't break things, they won't be fixed
no, behdad wants to fix it, but i think he wants to fix bigger
things in the process

First: The idea of promoting of software (enhancements) does intrique me. This posting is mostly about "What is so good about these udebs?" Reading the announce of the multi-netcfg and multi-partman packages, I couldn't see where the added value is, nor didn't see where the Debian-installer should/could be improved. Please try "to sell" the packages to me. Consider me as an administrator of several computers who is allready able to install those systems handsfree with d-i and that I'm willing to change my setup for a better configuration.

Dual boot auto partitioning
I would like to know i fit could be possible to add an option, in partman I suppose, to do some autopartitioning while keeping an existing OS in place? If not, would it be possible to adapt the automatic partitioning such that they could be told to use all the free space instead of a whole disk? Currently, the user has only the choice between erasing everything and manually partitioning. Curiously, Pierre -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#419211: d-i fails in fetching "Release.gpg" in netboot install of etch r0
Package: installation-reports Boot method: network Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r0/i386/iso-dvd/ Date: 14 April 2007, 10 AM Machine: HP Compaq Processor: Pentium D Memory: 1024 MB Partitions: Did not reach this stage. Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: Did not reach this stage. Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card:[O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [E] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup:[ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Overall install:[ ] Comments/Problems: The d-i says it fails to download a valid Release.gpg file from the mirror specified. I am installing the Debian etch 4.0 r0 onto HP machines through network install (PXE boot with DHCP/tftp). Everything goes alright until it (netboot d-i) tries to fetch the "Release.gpg" file from the mirror which is just another machine running sarge in a LAN. In reality, the ISO (DVD) that I have mounted at the HTTP mirror does not have any "Release.gpg" file in the specified directory.

Based on Changwoo's answer, I suggest we keep baekmuk in korean-desktop. There are enough "traditionnal" X apps to make this package still useful enough for Korean-speaking users. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

For me reads "requires a 2.6.12 or newer kernel version" nicer,
mayby also for others.

That would make two lines:
| This is a minimal version for use in debian-installer.
| This package should not be installed on a normal system.
My proposal is:
| This is a minimal version, only for use in the Debian-installer.
Or perhaps:
| This is a minimal version, only for use in the installation system.
to make rebranding more easy.

Should they be dropped from there also? It depends on what our default desktop looks like. While ttf-unfonts is a much better choice in antialiased environment (GNOME/KDE) or for printing, it's almost unusable in non-antialiased environment (ie. traditional X apps). That's why baekmuk is used in bf-utf-source, while ttf-unfonts is used for G-I. If we can just ignore such traditional apps in the default desktop installation, it's ok to drop ttf-baekmuk and xfonts-baekmuk. -- Changwoo Ryu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#264530: LOADLIN is for booting from MS-DOS or old WINDOWS
I strongly support this bug report (this could be really usefull and LOADLIN is included in the tools directory from the CD 1 in Etch) However, the sugested title "5.1.2. Booting from linux using LILO or GRUB or LOADLIN" is not correct. (as Loadlin is not for booting from Linux) So a new section 5.1.x should be added with a title like "Booting from MS-DOS/Windows 95/ Windows 98/FreeDos using LOADLIN" __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
