Anyone with an ARM machine will be in the 512MB/1G/2G camp. My laptop (x200s) officially maxes out at 4G, although it turns out that 8G does actually work in practice. Memory usage does still matter as your hardware doesn't have to be particularly old to have RAM of a size that is likely to all get used, and on arm (increasingly being used for netbook/laptop/desktop usage) it's practically guaranteed. So yes, it's not the 1990s but I think we should aim to make Debian to work tolerably well on 2 or 4G systems. Alistair posted numbers suggesting 600MB for gnome3 or KDE, 360 for XFCE, 300 for LXDE, which is a difference, but not a huge one. Very significant on a 512MB machine, but not that significant on 2G. You say 800-1200 above which is twice as much. Is this the differnce between initial boot up and usage after some time, or 'various add-ons'? Knowing what 'typical' numbers are would be useful. I have various well-used XFCE desktops I could check but I'm not sure how to get a cmparable RAM-usage number of them. >If you can't run GNOME because you don't have the system specs to run a >modern desktop then you can select XFCE/LXDE in the installation menu.

Like most arm hardware memory levels are still low by modern x86 standards. They are like late 90s/early 2000s x86 machines in this regard. I don't want to over-emphasise the arm thing - it is still a minority sport - but it's a growing area of usage where memory is still limited. I just wanted to counter a little the 'everyone has buckets of RAM these days' view, whilst acnowledging that it is no longer the 90's and a 512Mb machine will struggle with any modern desktop+browser (which is sad IMHO - dawkins knows what software, especially browsers, do with all that memory! - hundreds of Mb for simple tables of built packages, for example, but I digress :-) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

These memory usage comparisons are only useful at feature parity - which doesn’t exist, since different environments have different paradigms and different feature sets. > How much RAM does your browser use? > Lots, which is why i prefer my DE not to eat it all. When the browser uses 1 GB while GNOME (including evolution and many other running applications) uses half of that, I don’t think you need to look for memory savings in the desktop. You need to buy more RAM and that’s all, because browsers won’t suddenly stop needing their gigabyte. > If you can't run GNOME because you don't have the system specs > to run a modern desktop then you can select XFCE/LXDE in the > installation menu.

I just had a look at an online hardware store. Out of their 682 laptops and 332 desktops: * 1 model has 1 GiB * 48 models have 2 GiB * 470 models have 4 GiB * 495 have 6 GiB or more Which means 0,1% of the machines you can buy are not able to run a web browser anyway, < 5% are more than enough for a full-fledged GNOME+web browser, and all the rest are very comfortable with anything you can run under Linux. > Some people like the 'basic 3d acceleration' for other things, so not > only do you want me to sacrifice my RAM to all powerful DE, but also > my GPU? How kind of you ;) We happen at work to have users with very important needs of 3D resources, so one of my colleagues conducted some performance tests with and without a compositor (the compositor being GNOME 3). It turns out that with a recent adapter, 3D applications are running a small bit faster under GNOME, and that’s probably because it saves your graphics card the pain to switch from 2D to 3D contexts. -- .''`.Josselin Mouette : :' : `. `' `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The code can be viewed online here: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/netboot-assistant.git/tree/di-netboot-assistant#n236 It seems there's some *.c32-specific handling, and there's even a mention of a (probably previous) transition for menu related files. I think we would have had more reports if PXE was broken in the general case so I suspect this might be a regression only in the d-i netboot assistant case. I'm adding Ron since he looked quite closely at d-i + syslinux lately, so he might have some expertise to share here. ;) Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Reverting to GNOME for jessie's default desktop
I enjoy the way you keep ignoring the relevant points, memory usage and performance regressions. And the way you benchmarked gnome against gnome. How about warsaw on xfce on the same hardware or your benchmarks pretty much show nothing except that your 'slight performance increase when using gnome-shell' is pure fabrication.

Fascinating as this discussion is, I think it is at risk of becoming too much of a time sink. I think that it would be useful to have some authoritative guidance from those in Debian who are responsible for this decision. AFAICT that is the tasksel maintainers.

Bug#757941: busybox-static: DNS resolver stopped working in busybox-static version 1.22.0-7
Package: busybox-static Version: 1:1.22.0-8 Severity: important When trying to ping an address, like debian.org, with busybox-static you get a "ping: bad address 'debian.org'" error. I knew that version 1.22.0-6 of busybox-static was working, so I also downloaded version 1.22.0-7 and 1.22.0-8 and tested those: # ./busybox-1.22.0-6 ping -c 1 debian.org PING debian.org (200.17.202.197): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 200.17.202.197: seq=0 ttl=49 time=307.969 ms --- debian.org ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 307.969/307.969/307.969 ms # ./busybox-1.22.0-7 ping -c 1 debian.org ping: bad address 'debian.org' # ./busybox-1.22.0-8 ping -c 1 debian.org ping: bad address 'debian.org' So that means this bug was introduced with version 1.22.0-7. Note that the non-static version does work properly (tested version 1.22.0-8). It makes the package rather unusable, but I'll leave it up to the maintainer to raise the severity.

Yes, this is what we have. Current busybox-static in wheezy+ does not work. What's interesting - I compiled busybox-static on curent wheezy host, the resulting binary works fine.

Should be easy to check by building at -O0. Nope. This is getaddrinfo() function. So it is glibc, not gcc or optimization. getaddrinfo() does not work in jessie glibc when linked statically. It immediately returns "Name or service not known" (rc=-2) without trying to read /etc/hosts or send dns queries. At link time, there's a warning issued, -- warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking but even if the same library is installed it doesn't work still.

In the end there's a lot of sadness around what we do, what Ubuntu does, and what the end result is. Ubuntu uses isc-dhcp-client, so the same as on kfreebsd-* and might as well have some additional patches to netcfg because of this. But at work we do use Ubuntu and found that dhclient is called with -1. If the lease expires during installation and your switch does DHCP snooping, you lose network during installation because the DHCP client does not continue to renew it. This is anecdotal experience but divergence between Linux and kfreebsd wrt DHCP might mean that certain problems need to be solved twice or certain failure modes only happen in one or another, with userspace being the reason, not even the kernel difference.

I'm not that familiar with the netboot-assistant (read: I didn't even know it existed before reading this :) but from what I gather from its docs it helps automate something I was doing more manually. If the tree that it currently creates is still something like what is shown here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootAssistant, then yeah, this is basically the problem I mused about in #756275, in the 'slight tangent' about rearranging the tree to move pxelinux.0 and the .c32 files out of the 'release specific' part of it where it could be shared by multiple release images. The problem that Kim describes sounds like pxelinx.0 (<< 5) was run, but then it tried to load .c32 files from a d-i image tree using the syslinux (>= 5) version, and they indeed aren't compatible. I have successfully mixed the newer pxelinux.0 and .c32 versions (from the daily images and with the patch from #756275 applied) with the menu and kernel images from the last released wheezy d-i, and I believe that should also work with earlier images (or those from any compatible derivative distros) too, though I haven't tested those myself. Basically you need to pick the pxelinux.0 and .c32 files from just *one* release (any should do, at least until the menu files depend on some later feature, or some older feature gets dropped, but the latest version you have available is probably the safest to pick), and use those for all of the various menu/kernel release trees you want to make available. Reshuffling the remaining things in the release tree and making a new top level menu of your own as needed. Making that easier to do was what my 'slight tangent' was about. Possibly this means we should actually split the netboot.tar into two separate images now, a netboot-pxe.tar (with pxelinux.0 and the .c32) and a netboot-$release.tar with the menu and kernel/initrd files for the given release. And have those unpack into non-overlapping trees. Then people who want to do this will download just one netboot-pxe tarball, and however many -$release versions they want to support. > I think we would have had more reports if PXE was broken in the general > case so I suspect this might be a regression only in the d-i netboot > assistant case. In the general case, the current released wheezy netboot images are ok when used as a self-contained tree. The daily images, and the new release you are preparing from those, will be broken until the patch from #756275 is applied (for a slightly different reason - that fixes the paths where the ELF .c32 files are expected to be found, which is a new constraint for syslinux >= 5), so you might hear more reports of that soon :) But that can be fairly easily 'hand hacked' by users just moving some files around after installation until the patch is in. It sounds like netboot assistant will need a separate fix to that, to arrange its tree in a way that doesn't try to mix the syslinux files from different releases. Whoever finds time to work on that, might find that much easier to

I could maybe look into porting udhcpc to kfreebsd; that is if netcfg maintainers still think it is preferred over ISC DHCP? (udhcpc saves about 2MiB in the install image, if that's reason enough). Or otherwise go the other way and try to have all architectures using isc-dhcp-client-udeb. Except - I'm not sure how heavily systemd is going to feature in d-i for jessie or jessie+1? If systemd's own DHCP client is going to take over this task someday we'd end up with different implementations again, making either of the above changes a waste of time, and personally I'd prefer to keep the fully-featured ISC DHCP in that case. (Releasing the DHCP lease and deconfiguring the interface seems to be a feature udhcpc *lacks*, hence why the problem is not seen yet on linux). > But at work we do use Ubuntu and found that dhclient is called with -1. > If the lease expires during installation and your switch does DHCP > snooping, you lose network during installation because the DHCP client > does not continue to renew it. FWIW the netcfg patch in my last message seems to have fixed this nicely for kfreebsd. And it keeps the dhclient/udhcpc running throughout the install - I think that is desirable whichever one is used, to avoid the issue described above. > This is anecdotal experience but divergence between Linux and kfreebsd > wrt DHCP might mean that certain problems need to be solved twice or > certain failure modes only happen in one or another, with userspace > being the reason, not even the kernel difference.

I thought lines was one of the most clever, and the changing of the logo makes sense (theme reminds me of the golden ratio :) ), I'm not sure we can do that :( Sucks, was a leader in my mind.

Re: Artwork for jessie?
I agree with Franz and Adrien... overall, there needs to be a desire or commitment to allowing a more modern style, so that the development required to implement it is no longer a 'de-selector'. A good while back, we made https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/7th-element For us, it was only an idea / conversation-starting-point, but I recall discussing here with the lead guys about trying to get it implemented, but the breakage was an issue (which I think Adrien is referring to). This go around, either some some parameters should be clearly stated so that the creativity can be wrapped around it... or, determine that the theme issue will be addressed from the development side, and that creative freedom can be allowed... and we all get to working on designing a UI that will truly stand out from the rest and attract a larger user base.

PedDisk.needs_clobber is marked as "office use only" in parted; I interpret that as meaning that it really shouldn't be fiddled with outside parted, even though it's technically exposed.

Package: debian-installer Version: 20140802 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd Hi, with a wheezy/amd64/kvm-based setup (hda is ~5GB, RAM is 1GB), the following images don't work at all, with the following message on vt1: | /: write failed, filesystem is full (Looking at syslog when I can, it seems anna is the tool running into a full partition, which isn't surprising.) - debian-jessie-DI-a1-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso debian-jessie-DI-b1-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso → with "Default install (graphical mode)", after locale settings, when udeb components are loaded. - debian-jessie-DI-a1-kfreebsd-i386-netinst.iso debian-jessie-DI-b1-kfreebsd-i386-netinst.iso → with "Default install", after locale settings, when udeb components are loaded. I'm very concerned to see that Jessie Alpha 1 images were already totally broken for kfreebsd-i386 (ditto for kfreebsd-amd64 in graphical mode), and that it doesn't seem to have been detected/worked on/fixed.

Bug#757988: kfreebsd: troubles with dhcp (configuration going away)
Package: debian-installer Version: 20140802 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd Hi, I know this is tracked as #757711 but I'm trying to get a comprehensive list of issues affecting kfreebsd-*, along with possible solutions for those using images. So, using debian-jessie-DI-b1-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso with DHCP, an error is shown right after the mirror selection, since network configuration obtained through DHCP is lost at this point. It would be nice to make sure what triggered this issue before blindly applying a patch against netcfg IMHO. Switching to vt2 (alt-f2), and typing this allowed me to resume my (kvm-based) installation test: ifconfig re0 10.0.2.15 255.255.255.0 route add default 10.0.2.2 (I hope my notes are correct on this, readers should get the idea anyway.)

Bug#757986: kfreebsd: multiple "inappropriate ioctl for device" prompts
Package: debian-installer Version: 20140802 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd Hi, it seems the following warning still hasn't been decided upon (harmless, should go away; or important, should stay), and it pops up multiple times: | Could not get identity of device /dev/ada0 - Inappropriate ioctl for | device | | Warning! | | Ignore | Cancel | | Please investigate and take a decision.

Bug#757987: kfreebsd: cannot create swap space
Package: debian-installer Version: 20140802 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: kfreebsd Hi, using debian-jessie-DI-b1-kfreebsd-amd64-netinst.iso with a single (kvm) disc, I can't get past the automatic partioning step due to a failure to create a swap partition on /dev/ada0; this might be a consequence of the recent migration to parted 3.2, or something else. Please investigate and get in touch with the parted maintainers, which will likely be interested in both /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman. In the meanwhile, it's possible to go back to the partioning menu, so as to delete this partition, and try again without it. Thanks for your time.
