Bug#614936: keyboard-configuration: Modifier keys (ctrl, shift, alt) not working - Bluetooth keyboard
Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.69 Severity: important Tags: sid The problem basicly is that when pressing any of the modifier keys they do not 'modify' the keys pressed simultaneusly with them. Having wondered around looking for the solution I ended up finding out that when I press any of the modifiers the next key-press cancels them. This does not happen when pressing any other two keys simulatneusly - they do result in two signals being send with out canceling each other, what excludes the possibility of my keyboard not supporting multiple keypresses. Anyhow having found a couple threads on the following forums regarding the problem and not finding a satisfying solution I wanted to find a solution that actually works. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1355660 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368160 I thought of some possibilities of the causes of the problems, however I cannot really solve these by myself : 1. Bug in keymap - I've got no idea what type of a bug could produce such effect but it might be possible. 2. Kernel misinterpretation - it might be a problem with the kernel interpreting the key pressed on the keyboard and thus making the modifiers malfunction. 3.Bluetooth adapter controller *bluez - this is highly unlikely as I have tried another bluetooth keyboard on this system and there was no problem using it - all modifiers worked perfectly. (both of these connect perfectly and all keys accept the modifiers work normally) 4. Microsoft based hardware - as there is no problem using the keyboard on either Win Xp or the 7 there might be a special code written for correctly interpreting the key presses of the modifiers. The problem is that even after disabling the modifier by a key press and then letting off the modifier no code in xev is generated. This excludes the possibility of writing a small code that would enable and disable the modifiers properly. In the threads I mentioned almost all the data is there if anything is needed please let me know. I don't however have a rocketfish keyboard but a Lenovo A300-K BT Keyboard I hope there is a possibility of finding a fix/solution for that other than sticky keys because they just get on my nerves really badly all the time.

See the arch/arm/mach-kirkwood directory in the Linux tree. All the *-setup.c files declare different sets of GPIOs in static structures.

In order to go to the text console normaly you would use Ctrl+Alt+F1, but if the faulty Ctrl and Alt make this combination not work, then start a X terminal emulator (i.e. xterm, xrvt, gnome-terminal or konsole) and use the command sudo chvt 1. 2.

#596584 S61mouse-support-x86 is Linux-specific [2 patches]
Hi all,
i have divided the previous patch in 2 patches:
1 - remove powerpc as it's not used.
2 - moved mouse-x86 to mouse-linux as now depends on the OS and not on
the CPU
Feel free to comment.

The rest of the set will still fill up to the normal 4.7GB DVD size, as there's no point to keeping to that limit on later discs. Other arches and source DVDs will also not be affected - there's also no point messing with them AFAICS. Please correct me if you think I'm wrong here! For a 1GB or 2GB (or even 8GB/16GB) image, we *can* add more builds targetted to fit those sizes, but I would rather make those be totally separate builds; they're not close enough to any of the current standard sizes that we generate IMHO. Thoughts? A good general principle would be to not add custom sizes that are smaller than the size of the typically well-tested CD media. A 500mb iso is likely to be nearly useless because it will never fit Gnome, for example, and so will end up having to download nearly as much from the network as would a netinst iso. I'm curious what tasks, if any, are made unavailable by reducing the DVD to 4gb. Probably the key packages of all tasks fit in 4gb anyway, but do *all* packages of all tasks? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

What about adding powerpc to the list of architectures were g-i is available? AFAICT the only non-candidate would be sparc, since the udeb isn't built (yet) due to linking issues (see changelog entry for xorg-server/2:1.7.6-1). kfreebsd-* needs some work on the X side (reviewing/applying Robert's patches). And powerpc used to have g-i. armel might be “popular” enough to enable g-i there. Not sure about HW stuff, though (I'm *really* not good at tracking HW stuff).

Bug#615016: debian-installer: wipes partition table and creates new partitions even when told to use unpartitioned space
Package: debian-installer
Version: Lenny and Squeeze
Severity: important
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 6.0
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (990, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.11 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
Hello,
This bug appears when I'm trying to install Debian to the largest available
free space while leaving existing partitions undisturbed. In the partitioning
section of my Preseed.cfg file, I have the following line:
d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free
However, the installer wipes all my existing partitions and tries to create new
paritions to replace the old ones. I must manually select Undo changes to
partitions, Guided Partitioning, and then Use biggest available free
space. This bug was not in the installer when Lenny was first released, but
it is present in the 503 Lenny images, as well as in Squeeze. Below I've
included the whole partitioning section of my preseeding file.
### Partitioning
# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free
# Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name must
# be given in traditional non-devfs format.
# Note: A disk must be specified, unless the system has only one disk.
# For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk:
#d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
# In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use.
# The presently available methods are: regular, lvm and crypto
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
# If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned
# contains an old LVM configuration, the user will normally receive a
# warning. This can be preseeded away...
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
# The same applies to pre-existing software RAID array:
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
# And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions.
#d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
# You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes:
# - atomic: all files in one partition
# - home: separate /home partition
# - multi: separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
# Or provide a recipe of your own...
# The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt.
# If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can
# just point at it.
#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe
# If not, you can put an entire recipe into the preconfiguration file in one
# (logical) line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable
# swap, and uses the rest of the space for the root partition:
#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
# boot-root ::\
# 40 50 100 ext3 \
# $primary{ } $bootable{ }\
# method{ format } format{ } \
# use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
# mountpoint{ /boot } \
# . \
# 500 1 10 ext3 \
# method{ format } format{ } \
# use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
# mountpoint{ / } \
# . \
# 64 512 300% linux-swap \
# method{ swap } format{ }\
# .
# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation, provided
# that you told it what to do using one of the methods above.
#d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
#d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
#d-i partman/confirm boolean true
#d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true

This bug was not in the installer when Lenny was first released, but it is present in the 503 Lenny images, as well as in Squeeze. Below I've included the whole partitioning section of my preseeding file. Does that only happen when you're trying to pressed? Please send the full installer log in such cases anyway, this is the only way this can be investigated. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Preparation of fixes to 6.0.1
Quoting Julien Cristau (jcris...@debian.org): Please take a look and comment on those. If you think anything is missing please say so. Is there any chance we can update the apt-setup debconf templates to stop talking about volatile? As people probably noticed, I haven't managed to get anywhere with this. Another more urgent issue took most of my hacking time. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
