Bug#707570: Error
Hi, Cam Davies p...@live.com wrote: I typed pinggoogle and it says Unknown host. I ytied tasksel and it did nothing, I did debian desktop environent and it said command not found. So I would suspect you still have some problem with the network site, as it was during installation as well. Because of this network error during installation, the desktop environment was not installed. And without network connection, you still cannot install it afterwards now. If you log in as root: what's the output of ifconfig ? In the output of lspci, is there a network card listed?

Package: di-utils Version: 1.92+deb7u1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, I've downloaded Debian 7.0 to use in a virtual machine. I downloaded an amd64 image, and by mistake used qemu for i386. I had the normal grub and then when selecting whether I wanted graphical or normal installation, it would just hang and do nothing. When trying to do an expert install it finally showed me what was going on, and I could start qemu with the appropriate command line. Could you make it print an error message in these cases, for any kind of chosen kind of installation? If a CD doesn't do anything but just hangs I could assume there is something wrong with it, or the problem lies somewhere else.

Bug#707844: di-utils: No error message in case of wrong architecture
Dear Debian Bughunters: This, for me, raises the question of when I should report what, followed by, How, adequately? I've got a dev setup that pretty much lets me bang away until something works, then take snapshots when something interesting happens (e.g., major package install finishes, run out of room on the vm, c). But the box I'm working on is a hand-me down, with mint as the can-opener, in which I run virtualbox, to acheive an approximation of pure stable. I would be delighted with feedback, off and on list, but the idea is to contribute back, upstream, at least as good as I found it.

Bug#699390: debian-policy: soften the wording recommending menu files
Hi Russ, hi Sune, I'd like to second this request to reword the current section in the policy regarding menu files, suggesting fdo .desktop files as the recommended mechanism and make it clear that .menu files are only really relevant for legacy or more exotic window managers. Sune's patch looks fine to me. As Sune already pointed out, the addition of menu-xdg actually is harmful in case of modern DEs like KDE or GNOME, where the entries generated via menu-xdg, duplicate a lot of existing entries, with no icons or low res bitmaps, not translations etc and clutter it up in a very bad way. In GNOME shell this even leads to wrong application tracking, if the wrong menu entry is chosen. That's why we decided to actively hide the Debian menu. Regarding the same issue, I talked to Christian, as tasksel co-maintainer, a while ago, to drop menu from the desktop task. If my memory serves me well, he basically agreed, but was worried, that my request came rather late into the wheezy release, so I've filed [1] and hope we can resolve that for jessie.

I'll post a patch 'shortly'. Patch is at https://github.com/FransUrbo/debian-partman-zfs/commits/master in four different commits. It's a little crude as yet, but it should be enough to 'get the ball rolling'... Please test and give me comments. Turbo Fredriksson (4): Support arch linux-any. + If os=linux, then modprobe and enable zfs partitioner. + Make absolutly sure that /boot/zfs exists before trying to import a ZFS pool - will fail if pool exists, but /boot/zfs doesn't. + Since loading the module might take 'a while', show progress info. + Don't automatically mount the file system(s) when importing the pool. + If os=linux, then create the ZVOL with volblocksize=4096. + Add some support functions: fs_create(), fs_check_exists(), get_vg_value(). + Support creating and mounting a ZFS (not ZVOL) and make it a root file system. choose_partition/zfs/do_option | 75 ++ debian/changelog | 12 debian/control |6 +- debian/partman-zfs.templates | 48 +-- fstab.d/zfs| 20 ++ init.d/zfs-devices | 20 +- lib/zfs-base.sh| 134 +++- mount.d/zfs| 21 ++- 8 files changed, 320 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for the night.

It doesn't create a root filesystem. Only allows you to create a volume, and on that put a root fs... I've added support for creating a root fs, setting the 'bootfs' flag.

AFAIK, partman-zfs didn't receive much attention during last months. I can't really test myself but I'd be happy if someone cared eough about partman-zfs to keep it maintained. I you have an Alioth accound, how about validating it for D-I and pushing your patch there, then uploading? We're in early D-I development process, so we now may want to make things released as soon as possible so that they can get real testing. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
