Re: HTTPS metadata in Mirrors.masterlist?

I agree that this is sufficient for software support in apt, d-i, etc. TLS gives you confidentiality and authentication over the integrity protection you get from GPG.

I just hope it doesn't turn into more of the misguided if only mirrors served packages over https, NSA wouldn't be able to see that I have iceweasel installed! version of false assumption of security. It also conveniently sidesteps some other attacks where you serve old lists. Of course we got fields now to make files only valid for a shorter period, but if you monitor that you can actually reach and connect to the server, it should not be able to serve you stale lists maliciously through a MITM attack.

Bug#739270: task-british-kde-desktop: Include Print-manager package in KDE desktop on install
Package: task-british-kde-desktop Version: 3.20 Severity: normal Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, I've got the task-british-kde-desktop installed though i suspect this applies to the default kde desktop task too. Basically, I think the print-manager package which puts the printing icon in the system tray for management of that, should be installed by default with the kde task - or should certainly be installed when a print-server is included in that.

Bug#739299: [installation-reports] UEFI Install + Crypto/LVM, some issues
Package: installation-reports Version: Jessie 20140216-10:08 Severity: normal Boot method: Netinst image on USB stick Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso Date: 20140216, ~ 18:00UTC Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card:[O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O](*) Install base system:[O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup:[O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader:[O] Overall install:[O] Comments/Problems: I installed testing from a USB stick with the image: Debian GNU/Linux testing Jessie - Official Snapshot amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20140216-10:08 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T440s, set up in full UEFI mode (with CSM compatibility mode turned off). Everything did eventually work with a few glitches: * After letting the installer try a Guided partitioning - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM, i decided to redo the partitioning manually, to be able to change some parameters (smaller EFIboot partition, smaller number of inodes in ext4 partitions). After going back to manual partitioning mode, I was not able to find a way to clear the already defined encrypted disk to be able to start from zero the manual configuration: i finally had to reboot and restart the installation. It would be nice to have the possibility to delete the encrypted devices already defined, or to force the deletion of a partition even if an encrypted device is already defined on top of it. * After finishing installation with Manual partitioning the encrypted volume was NOT entered into /etc/crypttab, therefore the system could not successfully reboot, but ended in the initramfs. After manually adding the encrypted volume into crypttab everything worked as expected. * It doesn't seem to be possible (in expert mode) to proceed with an installation using already (manually) formatted disks, without going through the Partition disks step: a Mount disks step could be really helpful! Defining the disk type ext4 and the mountpoint for the ext4 partitions i could avoid getting them reformatted, but the installer did want to unconditionally reformat my already defined ext2 BOOT partition. Minor items: * the trackpad did not work in graphical expert mode, but the trackpoint did (even if both are enabled in bios) * it would be nice to have a clear information about what the standard type of ext4 filesystem means in terms of file size. The options news, largefile and largefile4 say that they correspond to 4KB, 1MB and 4MB files respectively. The type standard does not say anything.

However result not bootable. Create (successfully) Knoppix Live USB to prove USB stick not at fault. * Second Attempt: created partitions from scratch; no EFI partition. * Third Attempt: delete partitions, defined EFI partition and Linux partitions. Installer complains it can't update the disk and kernel won't know about changes until rebooted. Installer formats and labels Linux partitions (sda5 ... sda9). Next stage fails (no surprise): installation aborted. Examined USB stick under Knoppix: sda1 (EFI partition) the only partition known. Appeared to be labelled with the label specified for sda5.

Installation ran to completion. Install boot loader --- Have previously installed Lenny, Squeeze and Wheezy on a number of systems in various scenarios. Have always been asked to confirm that it is OK to write boot loader to disk. Surprised on the first attempt that I was not asked. When USB would not boot, wondered if boot loader stage had been skipped. On second attempt paid more attention. Boot loader was written. USB recognised as bootable but booted to blank screen. Tried on motherboard, an older, pre-EFI desktop, a pre-EFI laptop and on a desktop claiming 'Hybrid EFI. Same result. On third attempt with EFI partition, booted to Debian successfully on the motherboard used for installation. However, the other systems, including the Hybrid EFI, reported This is not a bootable disk. Overall install --- It seems there is an assumption that the installation is for use on the machine on which the installation takes place. Not a valid assumption for USB installation.
