I check current translations, just in case, but several of them use transliterated text, for instance: ru.po:msgid "East Indiana" ru.po-msgstr "Восточная Индиана" So these translators also might want to transliterate the city names in the new "time zones"and we just can't put msgid's in msgstr's At the minimum, if we add new timezones, we could grab translations back from tzdata (there are quite a lot of translations in that package). Definitely something for post-lenny, indeed...sorry for the few counties in USA that decide to live differently from the rest of the country. Actually, there might me other cases like this one as I haven't seen anyone actively trying to cope with changes in tzdata to align tzsetup with them (such as the recent nightmare in Argentinian timezones). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#511180: partman? failure to see ext3 fs on partitioned raid 1 array
Package: partman-base Hello! Installing daily build (2008-01-07) of debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso (131MB). When I get to the partition step, I can see my RAID arrays, but I do not see my filesystem. I have the following setup: /dev/hd[ab] = 300GB /dev/sd[ab] = 400GB /dev/md/d0 -> /dev/sd[ab]5 /dev/hd[ab]1 = 600GB RAID6 ext3 /dev/md/d1 -> /dev/sd[ab]1 = 100GB RAID1 ext3 All HD/SD partitions type "fd" (Linux raid autodetect). All MD devs with 1 partition each, type "83" (Linux) with ext3 fs. Originally partitioned HD/SD and MD devices with cfdisk. Used "maximize" (NC, non-compatible with DOS) and "NO BOOT" options for both HD/SD and MD devices. The disk detect routines see my disks, see the partitions, automatically start the arrays, no problem. When going to the partition stage, it sees the individual HD/SD partitions as raid-related, and also shows the two MD partitions #_d0 and #_d1. Also shown is one partition on each MD device. What is not shown is the existing ext3 fs. fdisk -l shows the partition and the type as 83. Both 600GB RAID6 and 100GB RAID1 MD partitions mount fine. ext3 filesystems have been checked with "e2fsck -vf" and show no errors. Cleanly unmounted. Cleanly stopped "mdadm -S" arrays, etc. No option to not touch existing partition. :( No option to simply mount it. I tried tricking things by manually editing /etc/fstab to mount /dev/md/d1p1 as ext3 on /target, mounting manually, and continuing install. Data was copied fine until kernel config failed when trying to build an initrd. Maybe another problem, maybe same cause, unsure. Maybe can't programmatically find filesystem on my partitioned MD/RAID1 device, so can't determine what was needed for the initrd. Maybe lacking BOOT flags crashed it? I planned to handle GRUB2 install after all data and basic config files copied to RAID1 partition's ext3 fs. Died at kernel initrd config, then nothing to configure for boot? If really needed, I can bring down each half of each array, re-create, copy data, then re-build the other half, but that's a lot of time, and likely to kill the discs anyways. Any other alternatives welcome. Any pointers where to look welcome. Any more info needed, I'll get it. I can edit shell scripts, do file system or partition tweaks, whatever is needed. Let me know.

Each time I try to install Lenny (starting a year ago), during the install process the error "Unable to install the selected kernel" pops up during the "Configuring linux-image-2.6.26-1-486" process. This also happens when I try installing linux-image-2.6- 486. These are the only two kernel images offered. Etch r2 to r5 always offered the 686 kernel. This Lenny installation CD does contain the 686 kernels but only offers the 486 kernels. In terminal 4, the log shows: "mkinitramfs-kpkg failed to create initrd image Failed to create initrd image dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.26-1-486 (--nfigure) subprocess post-installtion script returned error xit status 9 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code 1 For my latest install attempt of Lenny, I selected "None" at the kernel prompt thinking I could install the correct kernel later. However, GRUB failed to install. I install GRUB in the /boot partition because I use another boot loader (System Commander) that resides in the MBR and detects GRUB in /boot. What I got from terminal 4 was: "main-menu[1205]: (process:3101): sed: /target/etc/kernel-img.cf: No such file or directory." The other problem I found with both Etch r5 and Lenny installers is that they do not correctly identify the hard drive partition numbers during the "Partition hard drives:" phase beyond partitions 1 and 2. The partitioner sees partition 3 as #4, partition 4 as #5, partition 5 as #6 and so on. When I installed GRUB for Etch r5, I had to designate "/dev/hde4" to install it into partition 3 (/boot), which should be "/dev/hde3". Etch r2 showed the correct partition numbers. I'm fairly new to Debian and Linux in general. I'm glad to help make Debian better but I have not yet learned the fancy stuff, like checking MD5s, and have forgotten much of what I learned 7 months after I accidentally trashed my Etch install. As such, I kind of starting over. I know Etch installs and runs just fine but I don't know what else to offer to get Lenny to install cleanly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#511175: tasksel: Should vary free disk check for selected desktop environment
Package: tasksel Severity: wishlist Version: 2.77 Currently tasksel will always require 3GB (IIRC) of free disk space before enabling the desktop environment task by default. However, the disk space needed for the "light" desktop environments (LXDE and Xfce) is substantially less than for GNOME or KDE. It would be good if the required free space was variable per desktop environment and possibly coded in a field in the task definition instead of hardcoded in the 'desktop' test script. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Ubuntu DVDs are built but not especially strongly advertised. CDs are the major focus. (As Frans noted, this is a bit of a red herring for Debian anyway.

Indeed, the Ubuntu guide is derived closely from the Debian one (since
the same goes for the code) and duly acknowledges this. (I'm a Debian
contributor too and would have absolutely no truck with any attempt to
remove attribution or relicense.)

This is a misstatement of the Ubuntu licensing.
The help.ubuntu.com page you link to has a link at the bottom ("Legal")
saying:
"Unless stated otherwise on the front page of the document, the
documents are made available under the Creative Commons ShareAlike 3.0
License (CC-BY-SA)."
The front page of the document in question has a link labelled "Legal
Notice", which says:
"This manual is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Please refer to
the license in Appendix F, GNU General Public License."
So we are absolutely *not* relicensing the installation guide. As you
note, this would be a breach of copyright law.

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/amd64/index.html links
to "Major Contributions"
(https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/installation-guide/amd64/contributors.html)
which is identical to Debian's except for one added sentence.
I'll file a bug about the contributor list confusion, but it is intended
to apply to the help.ubuntu.com site as a whole, not to the installation
guide. It would probably be best if the Legal link at the bottom of each
installation-guide page were simply removed, as it is superseded by
material in the document itself.
I will come down upon anyone in Ubuntu who breaches Debian copyright
like the living fires of hell. Fortunately, that doesn't appear to have
happened here; just some confusing (although accurate if read rather
carefully) wording, that I think has good intentions but didn't consider
this case very well.

That still does not make it a D-I problem. And installation-reports or d-i really aren't a garbage dump for random problems observed on fresh installs, nor is the D-I team some kind of bug-reassignment center.

Even better, a system I installed fairly recently does not even have a /var/log/news directory. Also, AFAICT all directories under /var/log, at least those created by default are world-readable. This suggests to me that packages that want more restricted access should take care of that themselves. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I also agree, but I'd like to point out that mandos, if proven working and useful, could probably be integrated in partman-crypto, more or less automatically giving a newly generated encryption key instead of requiring users to enter a passphrase.

Bug#509202: Broken kernel
Hi! I've installed the machine with debootstrap and the help of the Gentoo 2008.0 live CD. When trying to boot the debian sparc kernels linux-image-2.6.26-1-sparc64(-smp) from harddisk, the machine freezes very early, probably around [0.00] [00036f10-f8b00a80] page_structs=131072 node=0 entry=1469/0 (cannot be too sure about that, the attached RSC serial console is somewhat limited) I compiled my own sparc64 kernel (2.6.28, initial config taken from the Gentoo 2.6.24 live CD). This new kernel boots without any problems, the machine is up and running. I've attached you my working kernel config, so you can check what might have caused the problems reported in this bug. Perhaps it's worth to reassign this bug to the kernel package. HTH -- mail: a...@thur.de http://adi.thur.de PGP/GPG: key via keyserver config.gz Description: Binary data
