Bug#602147: Fw: Squeeze installation freezes on network interfaces detection
Quoting Felipe FV (kille...@terra.com.br): Chirstian, I'm trying to reply direct to the bug report, but it does not work (does not update). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602147 This is why I'm sending the e-mail to you. When I disabled the floppy in the BIOS setup the installation seemed to find (detect) the network card faster. Is there any chance of the floppy conflicting (or something like that) with the network card, causing the long time to detect it? Maybe. Hardware issues can be weird sometimes..:) Other things: - I downloaded the install: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso - I tested the installation (with floppy enabled) to see the log (Alt+F4). I saw lots and lots of FAT errors: kernel: [number] FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystem, filesystems will be case sensitive!. These sound like warnings which could be ignored. - My USB mouse is turned off every certain period and then back on again (detected) - saw it at the log too. Nothing I can really tell here, I'm afraid. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#602380: SATA CD/DVD drive and sr0 errors
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Hi, I'm having some problems with Debian Squeeze installation. Right after selecting the mirror to download updates, the installation stops for a long time in Downloading file 1 of 1 (or something like that). When I start the log (Alf+F4) I see lots and lots of Buffer I/O errors on Device sr0, that is my CD/DVD drive. I don't know if this is related to drivers, because it's a brand new LG GH22NS40 (SATA), and when I turn on my old CD drive (an Optiarc IDE), the errors happen just one or two times, but the installation continues in less than five seconds. I tried to install Squeeze with 2 ISOs that I have here (different weeks and builds). The errors persisted. QUESTIONS: Is there any report about this? Could it be a driver problem? I am running the OS here right now with the LG GH22NS40. If anyone knows a procedure to prove the drive, just tell me and I will do it.

Hi, I just got this new laptop today. I installed it with d-i daily build 20101104. Installation went fine except for these issues: * No wireless WPA2 support. I understand this won't be supported until squeeze+1 I didn't try to install with wireless. During network selection both ethernet and wireless devices were detected. * DHCP configuration did not work, I had to supply IP address manually DHCP just worked fine for me. * My Windows 7 partitions were not available in the grub boot menu, even though it recognized that win7 was installed. Running 'update-grub' manually resolved this. I removed all windows related stuff. So I cannot comment. Everything went fine.

Hmm, if you look at the callers of read_block(), all of them pass a
pointer to strdup() in which is silly if we'll always free it. So we
could instead just:

This caused udpkg to segfault (on Ubuntu, but I see no reason why it
should be Ubuntu-specific). Here's the start of read_block:
static int read_block(FILE *f, char **ml)
{
char ch;
char *multiple_lines = *ml;
char buf[BUFSIZE];
while (((ch = fgetc(f)) == ' ') !feof(f)) {
fgets(buf, BUFSIZE, f);
multiple_lines = (char *) di_realloc(multiple_lines,
strlen(multiple_lines) + strlen(buf) + 2);
So leaving *ml undefined on entry means that (a) realloc's behaviour is
undefined and (b) strlen's behaviour is undefined. Whoops.
Petter's patch would crash too. Since the pointer in *ml on entry may
have been realloced, attempting to free it may be equivalent to a
double-free, which could corrupt the malloc arena.
On the one hand, this is a tiny memory leak in udpkg, and it really
isn't worth a great deal of effort, so I would be inclined to just
revert this. On the other hand, if you think about it, read_block's
interface is pretty poor. It returns int but there is only one possible
return value, and it takes a char ** which is only ever initialised in
one way. This isn't good design. Here's a patch implementing an
improved interface, which is simpler, safer, and more efficient:

Bug#602421: installation-reports: Squeeze Installation - apt does not appear to be scanning multiple DVDs correctly during graphical installation
Package: installation-reports Severity: important Tags: d-i Started graphical install. Partitioned disk, formatted filesystems Outputted label of Installation disk and asked if I wanted to scan any more disks. I answered yes, opened the DVD drive, put second of 8 disks in, closed drive, hit continue. Heard disk spin up and after a while it stopped and put same question up on screen about scanning more disks, but it did not put up second Disk's label the way it did the first disk. I continued to put more disks in until all 8 were in, then I clicked on no to any more disks, and hit continue. It just sat there, so I went to lunch figuring it was building a table for apt. I was at lunch 1/2 hour and came back to no change. I started the installation again, fed in all eight disks again, same thing happened. I started the installation again, put in only one disk, then said clicked no to more disks, hit continue, but it seemed to hang again.

Hi, do you find an explanation for what happened on the installation log [1] ? 1 - /var/log/installer/syslog A Quarta 03 Novembro 2010 10:52:21 Felipe FV você escreveu: Chirstian, I'm trying to reply direct to the bug report, but it does not work (does not update). http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602147 This is why I'm sending the e-mail to you. When I disabled the floppy in the BIOS setup the installation seemed to find (detect) the network card faster. Is there any chance of the floppy conflicting (or something like that) with the network card, causing the long time to detect it?

Touchscreen support in d-i
This might not be the best moment to talk about that, but well... With the rise of tablet PCs, smartphones, etc., there are more and more computers with touchscreen as the primary input device, and possibly no real keyboard. In order to properly support such computers, d-i needs two things: touchscreen calibration and an on-screen keyboard. To address the first issue, we can run something like xinput-calibrator right after X is started (and save the result in the target's xorg.conf.d), it'll take care of everything, and won't show up if it doesn't detect any touchscreen. However, xinput-calibrator is written in C++, and I don't think it's welcome in d-i? Maybe this could be reconsidered, xinput-calibrator could rewritten in C, or something else could be chosen... I've already been working a bit on the second issue and have working matchbox-keyboard and matchbox-window-manager (a WM is needed in order for matchbox-keyboard to run properly) udebs. However, there is still a lot to do: - When should it be started? Currently, it's started right after X, with a script in /lib/debian-installer.d/ - How to detect that there is no physical keyboard? - The on-screen keyboard should use the selected layout. This should be easy by (re)starting matchbox-keyboard with some environment variables. - There are only a few layouts, and they are often incomplete/too basic. Does it worth the pain of fixing them/adding new ones? Can't it be done in a semi-automatic way? - What to do if the selected layout doesn't exist for matchbox? Let it fallback to the default one? Or should we display only matchbox-supported layouts? I think the first three points can be addressed by starting matchbox-keyboard from somewhere within console-setup, but I'm not too sure yet, as I have only had a quick look at this part of d-i.

Bug#593235: New patch
* Thibaut Girka t...@sitedethib.com [2010-10-27 00:26]: So, here is a new version of the patch. Changes: - Removed U-Boot env related things (now, I have to unblock this bug) - Removed kernel re-compression (useless) - Added a quick hack to workaround the padding thing, since #584166 probably won't be accepted upstream (I'll sort that out later). Looks good to me. There were only 2 minor problems: - The list of support hardware (in README) should've been updated. - Somtimes you added GTA02 as the first device rather than follow alphabetical order. I adjusted this and commited the patch. Thanks! -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
