Re: Torrents

[Mariano Lazzaro]

I correct myself, because I found torrents for CDs/DVDs.

The only thing I'm missing now is torrents for Debian 6 & 7 but for the 
Blu-ray discs.


I would greatly appreciate having those torrents in that format.

Thanks!

[Steven Shiau]

I suggest to add a command "rm -f $reldest" before the gpg command, as 
attached.
Otherwise although it works for debootstrap, however, when using with 
Debian live-build, it will enter interactive mode:

Ah sorry, I forgot the link.  

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/

The doc/devel-manuals page on www.debian.org contains manuals that are not
maintained by the DDP, so I did not think that there is a need to discuss
something on the debian-doc mailing list.  Sorry if I missed some procedures.

PS: My feeling is that answers starting by "Care to ?" (like the ones finishing
by "kthxbye") are irritated, and are a predictor for further difficulties, so I
will not move the idea further unless invited to do so.

Cheers,

At a guess, this option might result in booting the installer in legacy
mode.  The installer cannot set EFI boot variables unless it is booted
in EFI mode.

On the system I've installed using EFI, the BIOS shows two boot options
for removable media, for the two possible boot modes.

[...]

The rescue system should load efivars from the installation kernel,
since the installed system which might not have a compatible kernel
version (as happened here).  This is bug #703363 and should be fixed in
rc2.

Still, efivars will fail to initialise if you didn't boot in EFI mode.

Dear Debian Developer,

I want to make USB as Installer debian 5. Can you help me please, in
which way to make that ?

I need to installing Debian on my SONY VIAO using USB for flexibility.

Bug#703470: UEFI USB stick installation fails on HP EliteBook 8570p

[Mike]

Processor: Intel Core i5-3320M
Memory: 4 GiB

Comments/Problems:

In order to document this failure mode, I made this installation attempt on a
system that I "cleaned" after a successful installation.  So it isn't quite
the same as a brand-new machine.

At the HP startup screen, hit "ESC" for the "Startup Menu", "F10" for "BIOS
Setup", in "System Configuration" tab, "Boot Options", change "Boot Mode" from
"Legacy" to "UEFI Hybrid (With CSM)".  (I made other, irrelevant, settings
changes, too.)

System now boots automatically from the USB stick.  For a second I see the
message:


Welcome to GRUB!

error: "prefix" is not set.


in the top left of the screen, then the graphical D-I menu comes up.  Choose
"Advanced options", "Expert install".  At "Detect and mount CD-ROM", get a
message that "No common CD-ROM drive was detected.", prompt to "Load CD-ROM
drivers from removable media?"

Saying "Yes" gets "Cannot read removable media, or no drivers found".  Returns
to the main menu.

Saying "No", gets "No common CD-ROM drive was detected.", prompt to "Manually
select a CD-ROM module and device?".  Say "No", the step fails; say "Yes" and
enter "/dev/sda" (the only present removable device), also fails.  Returns to
the main menu.

In the screen prompting "You may switch to the shell on the second terminal
(ALT+F2)", ALT+F2 toggles the appearance of a few raster lines at the top of
the screen--mostly black, one part red, two white dots flashing--nothing more.
(In "Rescue mode", it gives a proper shell prompt.)

I don't see any mention of installing to a UEFI/GPT system under
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/.

See bug #703469 for the workaround.

The Installer seemed to think that GRUB succeeded: "grub-installer: info:
grub-install ran successfully".  But rebooting fails to find boot code, gives
HP screen:


BootDevice Not Found

Please install an operating system on your hard disk.


etc.  Rebooting the USB stick to rescue mode, I umount the /boot and /boot/efi
partitions--because mount thinks they're mounted--before I truly mount them.
Then I install grub-efi-amd64, and:


# grub-install /dev/sda
Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI 
variables.
Try 'modprobe efivars' as root.
Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI

Try 'modprobe efivars' as root.
Installation finished. No error reported.
# modprobe efivars
ERROR: could not insert 'efivars': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown 
parameter (see dmesg)
# dmesg | tail -1
[...] efivars: Unknown symbol efi_enabled_facility (err 0)


I assume that's because I haven't booted the USB stick in UEFI mode.

So "mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/boot" and "cp -p /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi" (Thanks to
.) and reboot.  That boots
to the GRUB menu, followed by:


  Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64

error: file not found.
error: file not found.
Loading Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

Press any key to continue...
error: no suitable mode found.
Booting however


and no further output.

Rebooting to USB stick rescue mode again, "dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64"
which now decides to add "insmod efi_gop" and "insmod efi_uga" to
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.  Why didn't it do it when I installed the package?  Then
reboot.  "login:"


Side note: Why isn't Debian or GRUB in
?

Hi,

i fall on a similar problem while running the following command on
wheezy (you should have live-config live-boot live-build packages
installed):

lb config --architectures i386 ; sudo lb build

I got the same warning (which eventually lead to an error saying that
some packages cannot be authenticated):

W: GPG error: http://ftp.debian.org wheezy Release: The following
signatures were invalid: BADSIG AED4B06F473041FA Debian Archive

Hope this helps to reproduce the bug and check the fix.

Anyhow, the daily netinstall iso

works like a charm.
The daily netboot mini iso

suffers from the same issue.


I said that I have to purge both debian-archive-keyring and apt after 
reboot. That is not the case.

Only apt has to be purged. Reinstall does not do the trick.

After reboot (using pxe bootserver and switching mirrors twice during 
installation) I get this error doing apt-get update:

These are the two mirrors:

Yeah, you're probably right. Even uni-erlangen will update their repo

I believe this bugreport is related:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703146

In my case it all starts with this warning in my logs:
base-installer: W: GPG error: http://ftp.nl.debian.org wheezy Release:
The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG AED4B06F473041FA Debian
Archive Automatic Signing Key (6.0/squeeze)

After this the installer isn't able to install locales, busybox.. etc.

Pim

Bug#703404: (no subject)

[Tycho Lürsen]

I did not have this busybox problem (actualy an authentication problem) 
a few days ago, using pxe boot, maybe you installed your host like last 
week?

Hello,

I've got the exact same problem when installing Wheezy on a virtual machine 
powered by KVM on a Wheezy host.
What's strange is that the physical host installation works fine (using a 
bootable net-install USB key), no busybox installation failure whatsoever.

I use KVM and libvirt packages shipped with debian wheezy and create my vm 
using virt-install through the french debian mirror.
It works perfectly for squeeze VMs but fails every time with wheezy since march 
14th.

I hope it helps.

Thanks,

Ben

Right. Totally blank screen with a cursor overlaid? Or do you get
anything visible?

[Adam Baxter]

OK, attempt two with a brand new Sandisk USB drive.
dd'ing the image directly works but I still get the same grub error,
followed by a *nonblinking* cursor

The drive LED seemed to indicate that there was some activity, but many
minutes later and there was no change. Yanking the drive didn't result in
any error output, either.

In this case, the system refuses to boot at all - I'm simply returned to
the Lenovo boot menu

wheezy-di-rc1 from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/wheezy_di_rc1/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-wheezy-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso

When I say fails on boot, I mean I never see the Debian grub menu. I get
the "error: prefix not set" message and then the screen goes to a single
blinking cursor.

Right. So it's booting grub, but not getting any further at all. Have
you copied all the files from the CD image? I'm wondering if it's
maybe not finding some things it's looking for, or (alternatively) it
may be failing to set up a working video mode.

That appears to be a wrong solution to a wrong problem.

Something is wrong with the archive mirror system apparently, or with
the signing keys, I dunno for now.  Any random package might be at
"fault" here (what if it was one of the core packages, such as glibc?).
The solution is to fix the network not avoid apparently broken (which
are actually not broken) packages.

Thanks,

I see, but custom kernel without initramfs should work. If there is a
way to skip installing busybox, I would appreciate.

Hi Adam,

Could you give us a bit more information about exactly what you've
done please? There shouldn't be any need to copy files to a FAT32 USB
drive for UEFI - simply dd the installation image directly onto the
drive. Also: which version of the installer did you use, and when you
say the "installer fails on boot" what exactly happened?

Busybox is used in regular initramfs.  While techincally initramfs might
work without busybox, no one really test things that way.  So basically
you'll end up with unbootable system.

Bug#703404: update

[Tycho Lürsen]

I finaly have a working system, but I had to switch mirrors twice during 
installation.
After the reboot, I still could not use my system. I had to remove 
"debian-archive-keyring" (witch is not allowed unless you force it to) 
and replace it with the proper one, reinstall apt, etc.

Bug#703404: debian-installer: wheezy (PXE boot) failes to install busybox and kernel

[Tycho Lursen]

Package: debian-installer
Version: wheezy
Severity: critical
Tags: d-i
Justification: breaks the whole system

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

   * What led up to the situation?

I tried to do a clean install of wheezy i386 using my pxe boot server, as I
allways do.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?

I switched mirrors to bypass this warnings:

in-target: Warning! the following packages cannot be authenticated! busybox

in-target:base-installer:error:exiting on error base-installer/kernel/failed-
package-install

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Switching mirrors got me past this problem, but caused new authentication
problems down the road

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Cleanly finishing the installation.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
