my only concern is that /proc/device-tree/model takes precedence over
/proc/cpuinfo in any case with no fallback to the latter. So if any ARM SoC
gets device-tree enabled by a backport it might potentially need a change to
flash-kernel, if the "Hardware" string does not match up with what the model
file delivers.

Bdale argues that the device-tree changes could potentially incur other changes
so an update of flash-kernel makes sense instead of the fallback solution.

@debian-boot: Is it ok to unblock flash-kernel at this point or should that be
done post-beta1?

Kind regards

openssh-client is priority standard, so this would add a metapackage
with no actual change to what's installed. Unless the user selects
ssh-server and de-selects standard.

It's not. Does occur to me that syslinux could be modified to add the
ability to beep at different musical note frequencies, and we could
then make it accessible, at least to those with good pitch.

Actually, this splash isn't accessible. I mean we don't access to it via an 
assistive technology. However, in the installation manual, Debian describes in 
details every items and their place on the screen. Thus, the user knows that, 
to run the installer in an accessible layout, he should press x (I don't 
remember how many) times the Arrow key, then press Enter. Then, either the 
installer runs brltty (or the speech synthetiser), or the user needs to press, 
before doing Enter, Tab key, in order to run brltty with an argument for a 
serial port connected braille display. That's explained in details in the 
install manual, so it's accessible I think.

I think too it's the easiest way to do. Because the GUI implies a lot of 
problems to ship orca: space on CD, compatibility with the interface, etc. Then 
because my approach of accessibility is "way-oriented": any way is good, but 
the result must be the same for everybody. Even if the interface isn't the 
same, the user here has the same capabilities. So he has not exactly the same 
layout, but it's not so different and he gets the same result, so perfect.

Finally, I am wondering if in the future, we'll not have to accept that 
universal design is very hard: on GNOME3, it's really not perfect and the 
problems seem hard to fix. And Debian has GNOME by default. Maybe /e'll have to 
recommend to blind users another desktop: XFCE, or MATE someday, or whatever. 
I'm trying finding some solution about this point.

It is not clear to me how accessible the initial splash screen --- the
one with currently contain the choice between default, graphical, and
advanced installation options --- is.

*If* that screen is accessible, then maybe an option could be having the
graphical installer by default, but clearly labeling the non-graphical
installer option with something that explains it is more accessible.

My (tentative) rationale is that it'd be easier for someone who is in
need of accessibility to discover the best option for them (thanks to
the accessibility of the splash screen), than for someone who is in need
of a non-English language to discover theirs (because the splash screen
is not translatable, so they're more likely to take the default option
in English and hope it'll get better afterwards).

It is not clear to me how accessible the initial splash screen --- the
one with currently contain the choice between default, graphical, and
advanced installation options --- is.

*If* that screen is accessible, then maybe an option could be having the
graphical installer by default, but clearly labeling the non-graphical
installer option with something that explains it is more accessible.

My (tentative) rationale is that it'd be easier for someone who is in

the accessibility of the splash screen), than for someone who is in need
of a non-English language to discover theirs (because the splash screen
is not translatable, so they're more likely to take the default option
in English and hope it'll get better afterwards).

I was fearing that. So at the end, the question becomes: do we trade
on accessibility for the default Debian Installer and therefore need
to put some specific note in the Release Notes.

Or do we stick to "The Universal System" concept and therefore leave
the only accessible installer as default. (which indeed makes the
installer not universal either because of several missing languages).

I'm really balanced on this as I personnally care about *both* of
course.

Bug#680678: task-ssh-server: depend on 'ssh' instead of 'openssh-server'

Dear Maintainer,

'task-ssh-server' currently depends on 'openssh-server';
IMHO, it wouldn't be wrong to depend on 'ssh' instead.

'ssh' depends on 'openssh-server' and 'openssh-client' (while 'openssh-client'
is a dependency of 'openssh-server', so it's pulled by 'task-ssh-server' too).

Bug#680676: unblock: busybox/1:1.20.0-5

[Michael Tokarev]

Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Severity: normal

Please unblock package busybox

There are two goals here.  First, this release updates busybox to be
the same as the current upstream _bugfix_ release, adding another
bugfix (more about it below), renaming a patch accepted upstream,
and bumping minor version number.  And second, there are 2 serious
bugfixes, one of which was quite difficult to debug and affects
external users.  While at it, I'm also fixing a small bug in the
d-i environment.  This is a summary, detailed below.

The bugs in question are:


#679377 - http://bugs.debian.org/679377
busybox awk segfaults when called from ash and no PATH set
(eg initramfs /init)

This one was difficult to debug, it is about busybox awk segfaulting
in "unusual" environment.  Currently it affects various live
distributions and may affect some packages which adds initramfs hooks
(so the bug may made the system unbootable).  The cause of this bug,
and the fix, are both rather obscure, but it is the best I can do
now.  Full details are in the patch description
(shell-ash-export-HOME.patch), together with the details about
original issue, reasons why it is fixed this way and comments about
the future.


#680342 - http://bugs.debian.org/679377
xargs applet does not implement basic POSIX-specified features

This bug is filed by me when I discovered that random scripts
provided by Debian fails randomly when busybox ash is used to
run them (and ash executes busybox applets directly instead of
searching utils in $PATH, so most commands are from busybox).
For example, invoke-rc.d fails because it uses xargs to strip 
ouble quotes from lists of filenames, this is one of basic
POSIX requiriments, but I forgot to enable this option in
busybox.  The same is true for a very commonly used xargs -0,
which I also forgot to enable when enabled the obvious cousin
of it, find -print0.

Now, the nature of busybox is such that it is easy to en/disable
options like this - it affects only the applet in question and
no other applet is affected.  The resulting xargs applet passes

of a few other, more obscure, options also specified by POSIX.


#406114 - http://bugs.debian.org/406114
d-i: having a tool like ping

This is a wishlist bug.  The change merely enables ping applet
(adding 613 bytes to the executable) for Debian Installer
environment.  Since network install is very important, and
since nowadays people often have some obscure environments
to install (eg, installing over a wireless connection, or
using a network card which needs a firmware, etc), at least
some minimal/basic network debugging tool is desirable.  This
is exactly what this change does.  This bugreport is here since
Jan-2008, ie, for 4.5 years already.

Again, it is easy in busybox to enable/disable applets without
affecting other functionality.  Ping applet itself is enabled
in regular busybox build since forever.



Now, while I was at vacation, upstream released another bugfix
or stable version of busybox, numbered 1.20.2.  It is the same
as was in debian package 1.20.0-4, except of 3 differences:


1.  Upstream applied a patch I sent them, and added it to be
 applied to 1.20.1 version, but the filename of the patch is
 different.  In 1.20.0-4 Debian package, it was named
 ps-get-uptime.patch, upstream name is busybox-1.20.1-ps.patch,
 as shown at http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.20.1/ .  The
 content of the two patches is the same, with the minor difference
 in line offsets.

2.  Upstream added another patch, fixing mke2fs utility.  The
 upstream commit is here:
   
http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=c9a13116a4497f4597ad5db6eb3cac9680fd6fc4
 and http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.20.1/busybox-1.20.1-mke2fs.patch
 (the same patch, for stable series).
 There's a bug in busybox mke2fs utility, so that current ext4 driver
 in kernel does not accept filesystems created by busybox.

 mke2fs applet is only enabled in busybox static build, so the
 whole issue is not that important, but it'd be a shame to ship
 a known-buggy version.  Also, since this applet is only shipped
 in busybox static build, this is a low-risk change.

 There's no bug for this filed against Debian, but I can do that
 since the bug is real and the fix actually fixes it.

3.  With the two changes above, plus a few other bugfixes from
 upstream 1.20.1 stable series
 (http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.20.1/ ), the resulting Debian
 busybox package is the same as upstream 1.20.2 stable/bugfix release,
 with all patches for it taken directly from upstream, with only one
 trivial change left: the minor version number.

This set of changes - to include all changes in upstream stable/bugfix
1.20.2 release - is more cosmetic (except of the mkfs patch which fixes
actual bug), but is very small and does not affect anything.

Bug#680675: debian-installer: Prompts when InRelease file cannot be downloaded

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

When installing using debian-installer 20120508 wheezy mini.iso netboot image,
and using a mirror that doesn't support InRelease files (squeeze's version of 
approx), during the "Installing the base system" step it prompts with a message 
that the InRelease file cannot be downloaded.

Selecting continue seems to work fine, presumably falling back to debootstrap's 
handling of old-style Release and Release.gpg files.

It seems like debian-installer shouldn't bother to warn the user at that point 
if the fallback methods haven't yet been tried...


live well,
  vagrant

Re: (forw) Switch to graphical installer by default?

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL]

Hi,

From what I know noawaday, GUI installer is not accessible. To be
accessible, we'd need orca to be installed. But the problem is that orca
only works with GTK. Given the current situation with orca and GTK3,
at-spi2, etc., I don't think it'll be easy to make the GUI accessible
quickly. Ubuntu installer tries to do this, but it's not perfect. After
a lot of bug reports, informal or not, some button are not yet read by
orca.

Moreover, I am not sure it's a real interest to have the GUI installer
accessible. In my opinion, the most important thing is to have one. But
I think, as few people can work on this, it's better to maintain the
text-base installer, accessible, than try making GUI accessible for the
installer, whereas the result would be the same, the GUI wouldn't bring
anything, and the current status of GUI issues in Debian seems, in my
opinion, complicated.

Best regards,


Jean-Philippe MENGUAL

complements find -print0 which is enabled).  (Closes: #680342)
  * replace my ps-get-uptime.patch with busybox-1.20.1-ps.patch
(it is the same patch, just file formatting changed and it
is now obvios the patch is applied upstream)
  * added another upstream bugfix patch, busybox-1.20.1-mke2fs.patch,
to fix mkfs.ext2 breakage.  It is only used in static flavour in
debian, but producing broken filesystem isn't an option there too.
  * busybox-1.20.1-1.20.2.patch -- change version to 1.20.2.  This is
the only remaining change to upstream 1.20.2 stable release.
  * enable ping applet for udeb build, +613 bytes on i386.  (Closes: #406114)
  * update shell-ash-export-HOME.patch - DEP-3 headers and a long
description.  This patch now removes "const" modifier from the
default PATH variable definition, making it writable.  Full
description is within the patch comments. (Closes: #679377)

Severity: important

Usertags: run-transition udev

Hi!

/run is a new cross-distribution location for the storage of
transient state files, i.e. files containing run-time information
that may or may not need to be written early in the boot process and
which does not require preserving across reboots. [1] Support for
/run is an accepted release goal for wheezy.

A result of that change is, that udev no longer uses /dev/ to store
its runtime state file, i.e. the /dev/.udev/ directory, /dev/.udevdb
and /dev/.udev.tdb are gone and udev uses /run/udev/ now.

During an automated test your package userdevfs was flagged to
reference files/directories matching /dev/.udev A log of this test
can be found at [2].

In most cases checking for /dev/.udev is used to determine if udev is
active. This check no longer works with udev using /run/udev now.

In most cases, checking for udev being installed is not appropriate
and should be avoided.

Nowadays all reasonable systems either have udev installed or do not
need /dev to be managed (e.g. LXC, chroots): if your package only
needs to decide if MAKEDEV should be run then please just remove all
such code and assume that the device exists. If the package is only
useful when it reacts to uevents then it should probably depend on
udev. If checking for udev being active is really needed, then your
package needs to be updated to support this new location of the udev
database. If you have any doubts, please contact the udev maintainer
Marco d'Itri .

xargs does not implement options and features mandated by POSIX:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/xargs.html
Notable, it does not process quotes and backslash on input, does
not implement -p (prompt) and -x (terminate on size constrains)
options.

Also it'd be nice to support commonly used GNU extension, -0 option.

Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.20.0-4
Severity: important

the patch "shell-ash-export-HOME.patch" causes a segmentation fault when 
initramfs boots,
I believe that this fault occurs the first time that initramfs looks for some 
executable in the initramfs filesystem,

Also, the latest release of busybox, 1.20.1 is a bit different of that, and 
more upstream stable patches have been added. A new release can be packaged 
containing this changes,

Modifying this, busybox works fine,

Package: installation-reports

Boot method:   CD
Image version: RC1 netinst  (current as of 2006-01-06)
Date:  2001-01-06
Processor: Intel Pentium 4
RAM:   1 GB
Disks: Two ATA IDE disks



Summary: Debian installer netinst image should have a ping,
 and an ifconfig that can set the hardware MAC address


Note: I have also filed a bug with busybox, as the
ifconfig feature is probably missing from busybox' ifconfig.



For a successful network install in an environment where the
router expects to see a certain MAC address (as my cable modem
provider does), it is necessary to set the hardware MAC address
of the network card. (Or not install Debian during the holidays
and wait for a possibility to let the ISP switch the expected MAC).

Also, a ping command to make sure the connection is established
is highly desirable.

Since Debian is mainly focussed on network installs, and is
generally very good at that, I think that those two features
are missing from the netinst image.

Regards,

Claus

Big thanks to Denys Vlasenko, the issue has been identified.

awk applet, when initializes, converts environment variables
into awk internal variables, and while doing this, it temporary
replaces the equal sign (=) in ther with a null byte (\0).

awk applet is marked as NOEXEC, ie, it is okay to run it directly
from shell just by calling appropriate awk_main() routine, without
executing any external program.

When ash tries to run such applet, it initializes environment
variables first, and calls the applet's main() function.

The patch in question exports PATH variable with its default
value.  But this value is stored in a global CONSTANT variable
(marked as "const").  All other exported variables are
in malloc'ed memory.

Also, when awk is run as a separate command, the kernel sets
environment variables to be completely writable.

So this very case - calling awk applet from ash when no
PATH variable has been set - is the only case when ONE
environment variable - PATH - is not writable.  And when
awk applet initializes and tries to replace "=" with "\0",
it segfaults.

I added a temporary workaround to this patch - making
the default PATH variable to be non-const, ie, writable,
this way awk will be able to write to it.  No other parts
of the code tries to write to it, so it is a safe change.

I can't drop this patch now, since it is too risky change
at this stage in wheezy release.  This rather obscure
case were difficult enough to debug, and I don't want
to introduce another obscure issue in some other component
while wheezy is frozen.

By the way, the same issue can be reproduced much, much
more easily:

 $ env -i /bin/busybox ash -c awk
 Segmentation fault

That was the missing part: no environment variables are
set, including $PATH.

Thanks,

/mjt

Package: task-lxde-desktop
Severity: wishlist


I have just did a test installation of debian wheezy/testing.
During installation, I didn't choose any x packages to be installed.
After installation, I installed the package xdm for a graphical
login manager and then the lxde meta package.
Everything works fine so far, lxde desktop environment seems really
cool to me, but there is no webbrowser installed by default.
Maybe you want to include one?
There is a "Webbrowser" button in the lxde panel, but it has
no function.
If you want to save space and keep the lxde environment small,
you could include the dillo webbrowser as a minimalistic solution:
I installed it (xdm and lxde packages were already installed, as
wrote above) and only the package libflkt1.3 was additionally
added by dependancy.
Installing dillo (plus the libflkt1.3), resulted in the additional 
use of 2688 kByte on harddisk here (according to apt-get output).


So long
Holger

task-lxde-desktop depends on task-desktop, which recommends iceweasel.
task-lxde-dekstop recommends lxde, which recommends iceweasel.
Either of these is sufficient to get iceweasel installed by default
by tasksel.

The original bug reporter was not clear his installation; it's not clear
if he used tasksel at all, or perhaps installed the task with recommends
disabled.

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.81
Severity: normal

Hi,

AFAICT of the four desktop environments that Debian offers to install from 
installations CDs, LXDE is currenly the only one that does not ship with 
network management software. In GNOME, network-manager-gnome is pulled in via 
recommends of the gnome meta-package. In KDE network-manager-kde is installed 
via the kde-desktop task. Finally in XFCE wicd is installed in the xfce-desktop 
task. I recommend to do the same for the lxde-desktop task.

Cheers,
Fabian

Recommends are installed by default; installing task-lxde-desktop has
installed network-manager-gnome since it was added to lxde.

Maybe it should be documented that "install-mbr" is included

above)?

(forw) Switch to graphical installer by default?

[Christian PERRIER]

Forwarding this mail so that people involved in accessibility issues
can answer.

In short: is the Debian graphical installer as accessible as the text
installer is?

We're discussing this at DebCamp today (again). What are the pros and
cons?

 g-i give us:
   * more languages support
   * prettier output?

But: what are the other effects? How well does g-i work for blind
users? Are all of the normal installer functions fully supported under
g-i?

It'd be easy to make the switch to g-i if we think it's right to for
wheezy, but let's work out if it's the right thing to do.

in lenny and squeeze, we had to as tasksel did not due the right thing
out of the box and we spottet it to late in the release process.
obviously, we're doing the oposite now (spotting it early, so that there
does not need to be a difference between live and install).

i disagree (and so does the rest of the lxde team).

lxde gives you a reasonable desktop system, lxde-core doesn't. this is
not the same as with gnome and gnome-core, where gnome-core gives you
a working desktop - lxde-core does not.

lxde is listed in lxde-desktop Recommends while lxde is listed in
Depends, which seems to be The Right Thing To Do.

At least, joeyh and I seem to agree on this.

That's backwards really. The live CDs should not be diverging from the
tasks.

Are you thinking about #636104? It's fixed. Autologin works with lightdm
in my experience.

Bug#680650: USB install method fails on wheezy alpha1

First, this is not the official doc, but is an internal site used to
track translation status. It looks considerably out of date to me,
dating back to before the release of Squeeze.

Second, that points me at a page that doesn't look anything like the
steps you described in your email. Maybe you were thinking of this one?

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en

In any case, whichever version of the instructions you were following,
this is incorrect:

If your intention was to use a pre-partitioned key, see the "flexible
way". But this looks like you were trying the "easy way" which says:

# zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdX

Earlier on the same page (whether the one I cited above, or the
out-of-date doc you linked to) it explains this is the whole drive, not
a partition.

It already is. See the documentation for the stable release I linked to
above, section 4.3.1. Preparing a USB stick using a hybrid CD or DVD
image. Naturally, the wheezy doc, when released, will include this
recommendation as well.

Bug#571204: tasksel: Does not install network management software for LXDE

i don't know why tasksel uses lxde-core, but, if you would depend on
lxde instead, you would get network-manager-gnome that the lxde
maintainers in debian recommend for their users.

New lightdm (1.2.2-3) says to support autologin, but I haven't tested that.
If you make this change, does it make Xfce+lxde CD-images try to pull Gnome
depends in and make too tight to fit all?

Does your USB key contain an MBR?

I have added a few days ago a step to the manual: please try to run

install-mbr /dev/sdb

and try to boot again.

AFAIK it already does so, section 4.3.1 Preparing a USB stick using a
hybrid CD or DVD image.

Bug#680650: USB install method fails on wheezy alpha1

[Antoine Beaupré]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20120508
Severity: important

I have tried the install method described here with the Debian Wheezy alpha1 
d-i:

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apas02.html#howto-getting-images-usb

I have performed the following steps:

 1. download the following files:


http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz

http://napoleon.acc.umu.se/cdimage/wheezy_di_alpha1/i386/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-a1-i386-netinst.iso

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/vmlinuz

 2. uncompress the .img.gz file and dd it into a USB key:

gunzip debian-700alpha1-i386-boot.img.gz
sudo dd if=debian-700alpha1-i386-boot.img of=/dev/sdb1

 3. mount the partition and copy the .iso and "vmlinuz" in place (I
didn't copy the initrd.gz because it's already on the image)

 4. unmount the partition

 5. mark the /dev/sdb1 partition bootable with "cfdisk"

 6. try boot the USB key on a Thinkpad x120e, using the builtin BIOS boot 
selection tool

Expected result: booting in the marvelous debian installer

Actual result: the Thinkpad BIOS brings be baaack to the boot menu, as if the 
USB wasn't bootable.

I will try the method described here as a workaround:

http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/Debian_USB_install_from_hybrid_iso/

If it works, I suggest the documentation be updated to advise users to
use the .isos instead of the hd-media files.

From my POV, I think the change from xdm to gdm3 seems quite a good
change and inline with the policy we had up to now: leave such
decision to those people who manage the different desktop
distributions.

So, I'd be OK with the change. Any objection from other people who
happen to wake up for tasksel bug reports?

for the live images, we've always been using gdm/gdm3 in lxde-desktop,
for the installer (via tasksel), up to squeeze, gdm was used too.

i don't think it's to big.

having lxdm at some later point though, is nice, and i wouldn't mind the
size decrease it bringts, however, until then the size difference
doesn't matter much.

otoh, choosing xdm is a no-go anyway, it doesn't support autologin

lightdm is relatively buggy, does not reasonably support autologin yet,
and doesn't bring any advantages over gdm3. gdm3 is even smaller in
footprint size than gdm in squeeze, hence, using gdm3 in wheezy rather
than gdm in squeeze is already an improvement.

Ups, I did the wrong check.

Anyway, some remarks:
- aptitude: can be downgraded from standard
- gcc-4.[56]-base
- python2.6: 2.7 is already there
- loop-aes-utils: loop-aes is not supported
- grub-legacy
- build-essential, linux-kbuild-3.2, kernel-package: development stuff

This is all before X.

Bug#680631: installation-reports: netboot.tar.gz for amd64 PXE boot from Wheezy fails to boot kernel

[Lukasz Kalamlacki]

Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I tried to install Wheezy using netboot.tar.gz
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
I installed and configured dhcpd and tftpd-hpa, then I unpacked netboot.tar.gz 
to /srv/tftp and unfortunetaly I could not install Wheezy,
 system hangt on loading syslinux.cfg/default message.
So I tried to use Squeeze netboot.tar.gz with kernel and initrd files from 
Wheezy and that worked fine and I was able to install Wheezy on my machine.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The list posted there is the full sorted list of *all* packages, as
applied to the full set of CDs. The last one on CD#1 is
gnome-packagekit-data, as I said, and I don't see any debug packages
above that in the list.

We need a safety margin as the base system must continue to use gzip
compression.  But my feelings say that 100 MB should be enough for that.

Another question is if the release team would consider unblocking
updated packages (with just the switch to xz for binaries).  I think it
would be nice to be able to get a useful desktop system using just the
first CD, but I'm not sure if they would make an exception for this.

Re: Preparation for d-i beta 1

Done.

I have to review a few packages we might want to get into testing soon,
that should happen during this weekend.

As for the kernel, linux can't migrate on its own, packages would become
uninstallable. linux-latest is needed but is missing its s390 build
(hence the poke on IRC and the extra Cc now).

I've checked with force/force-hint that there shouldn't be any other
issues once linux-latest is a candidate.

Once the kernel is in testing and other udebs unblocked, there should be
a new debian-installer upload early next week, which might become beta1.

Bug#680606: Run time stderr warnings with puppet and ruby1.9.1

[Bertil]

Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
    I downloaded and installed Debian wheezy installer alpha 1
(LXDE-CD-installer-disk) on one test server and also on my Asus 1001-PX laptop.
On the server, I did a minimal installation and on the laptop I selected the 
default base packages, and selected laptop during the installer phase.
The overall process worked out as expected.

The server is managed by puppet (2.7.17-1) from my laptop (puppet-server).
The pupppet-agent on the server is not daemonized. I use cron or the cli.

I did not expect to see 'stderr warning' messages to stdout like so:
# puppet agent --no-daemonize --onetime
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': iconv will be 
deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/service/freebsd.rb:8: warning:class 
variable access from toplevel
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/service/freebsd.rb:9: warning: class 
variable access from toplevel
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/service/freebsd.rb:10: warning: class 
variable access from toplevel
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/service/bsd.rb:12: warning: class 
variable access from toplevel

Using help outputs:
# puppet help
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': iconv will be 
deprecated in the future, use String#encode instead.
Usage: puppet  [options]  [options]

Available subcommands, from Puppet Faces:
  ca    Local Puppet Certificate Authority management.
  catalog   Compile, save, view, and convert catalogs.
  certificate   Provide access to the CA for certificate management.
  certificate_request  Manage certificate requests.
..
..
and so on.

These additional warnings are stderr messages as confirmed by redirecting
to 2>. Run time warnings in general are meant to be seen for developers not
users. This should be turned off for application code released to the world.

This is only seen on my server and not the laptop. The server runs the latest
ruby1.9.1 branch but the laptop still runs the ruby1.8 branch.

I have used aptitude safe-upgrade to keep both systems updated.

One difference between those systems and which may explain why the laptop did
not upgrade to ruby1.9.1. I purged ruby and puppet on the laptop during some
fault findings, some time ago. I then reinstalled puppet but not ruby.
I guess ruby1.8 was pulled in by a puppet dependency.

On the server, I did install ruby first (aptitude install ruby),
and then installed puppet (aptitude install puppet).

I wish, but maybe I'm not yet aware just how to do it, puppet would have
better control of which ruby version it use.

Cheers
Bertil

This is the server (puppet-agent).

Bug#675749: iso-scan stops with current daily image

[Bernhard]

Hello,

I tested the installation from USB Stick with the current daily image.
The problem still exists.

On another computer with another partitioning of the hard-disk, iso-scan
stops during scanning for an iso image.

What i have discovered:
On my Netbook, there is only one primary partition. In this case,
iso-scan stops at partition sda2.
On another computer, there are three primary partitions. In this case,
iso-scan stops at parition sda4.

It seems, iso-scan has problems with the extended partition.

Best regards and have a nice weekend
Bernhard
