Bug#511153: tzsetup-udeb: time zone list in tzsetup out of date wrt glibc/tzdata time

2014-03-02 Thread Christian PERRIER

Quoting Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org):

  Actually, there might me other cases like this one as I haven't seen
  anyone actively trying to cope with changes in tzdata to align tzsetup
  with them (such as the recent nightmare in Argentinian timezones).
 
 what should we do about this bug report?

IIRC, there have been a few moments in various releases, where the
list of possible timezones for multi-TZ countries have been
updated. So, in short, it can be closed, IMHO.

Bug#673644: Message at end of successful install talks about floppies (should be updated)

   Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new system.

Maybe try to be more generic so that we don't have to change this

Bug#663504:

2014-03-02 Thread Chris Bainbridge

I recently installed Debian 7.0.4 and noted multiple problems: with
the check-missing-firmware phase

1. check-missing-firmware missing files list is incorrect. Installer
detects that wifi needs Broadcom firmware and says The missing
firmware files are: b43/ucode29_mimo.fw b43-open/ucode29_mimo.fw. The
list is incorrect and incomplete. The list contains only two files -
there are many more that are required. The list contains two files,
suggesting that both are needed - in fact only one copy of the file is
needed (the loader looks in two directories).
- This bug seems to be caused by the installer interpreting the
kernel firmware loading in an overly simple way. The firmware loader
attempts to load files sequentially, and looks for them in two places.
If it does not find a file, it will immediately quit and print the two
locations that it looked for the file. The Debian installer interprets
and reports this pair of locations as an absolute list of missing
files. It is not an absolute list, it is a duplicate pair for a single
missing file.
- Even if the file is present (eg. b43/ucode29_mimo.fw exists),
this function still reports b43-open/ucode29_mimo.fw as missing! It's
not missing, it's just an alternative location for the same file.

2. The installer should copy any firmware files on the USB drive in
one go. Because of the way the installer copies and loads one file at
a time, even if the user has done everything perfectly (all required
firmwares ready on a USB drive) the check missing files prompt will
pop up several times (3 in my case) and the user just has to keep
clicking yes. Any normal user is going to think that this is broken,
only users who are really paying attention and watching the logs will
notice that it is only loading one file every time they click
Continue.

3. check-missing-firmware does not work with a USB drive that
contains a partition table. When a USB drive with a single partition
containing the firmware is inserted, it reports that the firmware was
not found. The firmware is on partition /dev/sdc1. From the log I can
see that the function is attempting to scan drives and partitions
detected on the system, and mount them as FAT file systems. The
problem is that it does not try the USB drive partition 1 at
/dev/sdc1. It does try /dev/{sda sda sdc sdc sda1 sda1 sda sda sdc sdc
sda1 sda1 sda2 sda2 sda3 sda3} in that order. So it is trying to mount
/dev/sdc (the USB drive) but not /dev/sdc1 (the actual partition).
- Workaround is to format the USB drive without a partition table,
e.g. mkfs.vfat -I /dev/sdc (mkfs.vfat actually expects a partition
table, -I override forces it to use the entire device)

Bug#740499: debian-installer: firmware-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso missing broadcom firmware

2014-03-02 Thread Chris Bainbridge

Package: debian-installer
Version: firmware-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch06s04.html.en says
Alternatively, unofficial CD builds containing non-free firmware can be
found at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/.;

And https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware says Alternatively, there are now
versions of the netinst CD images that also include all the non-free
firmware packages directly

Both these extracts infer that all the non-free firmware is in the
firmware image, but firmware-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso does not contain
Broadcom firmware (at least not b43). This firmware should be added to
the CD, or the documentation should mention that unofficial builds don't
contain *all* firmware. It's a waste of the user's time to download an
installer that claims to have non-free firmware and then find the
non-free firmware they need is missing.

Bug#740500: debian-installer: amd64 documentation is incorrect/incomplete (isohybrid issues)

2014-03-02 Thread Chris Bainbridge

Package: debian-installer
Version: stable
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

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

Documentation is out of date - does not mention that this the amd64
images are isohybrid BIOS/EFI boot format, with both a MBR/GPT
partition scheme.  Documentation implies there is only one partition but
there are now two (EFI system partition and ISO9660 partition).

The section on adding an extra partition will likely not be followable
due to being incorrect/incomplete - it does not mention what tools to
use - *fdisk and gdisk do not work* and it is not clear whether either
of
them could correctly modify the hybrid MBR/GPT scheme used in the image
whilst preserving its bootability on both BIOS and EFI (?)

Dear Maintainer,

Installing from debian-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso

FAT-fs (sdc): utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems,
filesystem will be case sensitive!

check-missing-firmware mounts partitions in a case-sensitive way -
this may cause problems for some users and seems unncessary.
