This is working fine with the new version of debootstrap in bookworm,
i.e version 1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u1 from Debian 12.4

This works fine if I install the package from bookworm-backports
(1.0.133~bpo12+1) so the package in stable should be fixed

I'm having this problem in bookworm, even with --no-merged-usr:

$ debootstrap --no-merged-usr sid /var/tmp/chroot/

Because of this I cannot use pbuilder.

Bug#932357: debootstrap: failed to create a pbuilder base.tgz inside a systemd-nspawn container

2019-07-18 Thread Alberto Garcia
Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.115
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

here's what happens if I try to create a base.tgz inside a
systemd-nspawn container using pbuilder and debootstrap:

/var/cache/pbuilder/sid-amd64.tgz --distribution sid --architecture amd64

I indeed don't have permissions to run mknod, but I see that there's
code to detect other container systems and use bind mounts and

Would that be possible in this case?

Bug#908852: Debian Stretch can't be installed or booted on Apollo Lake systems.

2018-09-14 Thread Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez
Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.02~beta3-5
Severity: important
Tags: d-i patch


There is a bug in the version of Grub2 shipped in Debian stable that renders
grub unable to boot in Apollo Lake systems (this are usually recent netbooks
or ultrabooks with Celeron/Atom CPUs).

The issue is that the EFI binary generated by Grub2 from Stretch hangs this
systems completely.

See: https://medium.com/@pawitp/grub-2-issue-on-intel-n4200-97c12d4db8af

The fix is simply to backport this patch 
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=446794de8da4329ea532cbee4ca877bcafd0e534
(which applies cleanly over the grub version in Stretch).


I think it will be a good idea to release a new version of Grub2 for stable
with this patch and generate a new image of the debian installer.

Otherwise it is impossible (well, not impossible, but very difficult) to
install Debian Stretch on this systems.


Note that Debian testing is not affected, as this patch is already included
there. The fix is only necessary for Stretch.


I attach a debdiff of a backport I did myself. I have verified that Debian
Stretch boots fine on my Yepo 737A laptop (Apollo Lake) with this new version
of Grub2.

Seems the freeze is reproducible on the installed system (with Debian Jessie 
and the default 3.16.0-4-amd64 kernel) by running:

$ discover-modprobe

If i run it with -x i see that it freezes here:

 readlink -f /sbin/discover-modprobe
+++ '[' 0 = 1 ']'
++ FANCYTTY=
++ '[' -e /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh ']'
++ true

--data-path=linux/module/options '--format=%s %s' --data-version=3.16.0-4-amd64 
all


And If i run the above comand with strace -f, then it freezes here:


read(3, "C Camera/Webcam controller'/>\n  "..., 4096) = 4096
brk(0x145e000)  = 0x145e000
read(3, "een'/>\n  \n  \n  \n  \n"..., 4096) = 1459
read(3, "", 4096)   = 0
read(3, "", 4096)   = 0
close(3)= 0
munmap(0x7f598aea2000, 4096)= 0
open("/proc/bus/usb/devices", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/bus/usb", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
getdents(3, /* 5 entries */, 32768) = 120
close(3)= 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/bus/usb", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
getdents(3, /* 5 entries */, 32768) = 120
getdents(3, /* 0 entries */, 32768) = 0
close(3)= 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/bus/usb/003", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) 
= 3
getdents(3, /* 4 entries */, 32768) = 96
open("/dev/bus/usb/003/002", O_RDWR


It don't freezes always, only sometimes.

Comparing the straces from when it freezes which the straces when it doesn't I 
see the following difference:

* This is when it works ok (don't freezes):


openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/bus/usb/003", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) 
= 3
getdents(3, /* 3 entries */, 32768) = 72
open("/dev/bus/usb/003/001", O_RDWR)= 4


* This is when it freezes:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/bus/usb/003", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) 
= 3
getdents(3, /* 4 entries */, 32768) = 96
open("/dev/bus/usb/003/002", O_RDWR


Seems that when it freezes it finds 4 entries in the directory /dev/bus/usb/003 
instead of 3,
and when it tries to open the "ghost" entry it freezes completely.

ls -al /dev/bus/usb/003 gives 3 entries : (".", "..", "001")

I have been rebooting it a couple of times and doing an ls to see if I see 4 
entries.
And when i get 4 entries, trying to access it causes a freeze.

ls -al /dev/bus/usb/003

Bug#794410: Debian Jessie installer freezes during "Processing triggers for libc-bin"

2016-02-17 Thread Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez
I'm having this issue on a Intel NUC (Intel Atom E3815).

Is literally impossible to install Debian 8.

Tried with the following:

 - debian-8.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso (with internet on the NUC)
 - debian-8.3.0-amd64-CD-1.iso (without network connection).

Booting from a usb device that was created via the usual:

$ dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4k

It always freezes on the step

in-target: Setting up discover (2.1.2-7) ...
in-target: Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-18+deb8u1) ...

step as seen on the debug console (alt+f4).

Even the cursor stops blinking and it will ignore any key press
combination. Freezes completely 100% of the times.

Here is a picture of the freeze just after it happens:
http://people.igalia.com/clopez/di8_freezes_discover_libctriggers.jpg

Tried installing in DOS mode and in UEFI mode. Didn't make any difference.

This machine don't has any wlan device as the previous reported

I ended workaround this by installing Debian wheezy
 and dist-upgrading after the install.

The triggers for libc-bin in Jessie only seems to contain this:

$ dpkg -I libc-bin_2.19-18+deb8u2_amd64.deb triggers
interest ldconfig


I wonder what can be causing this issue :\

I already had this issue when installing a fresh Debian 8 in another
machine, but in that one only happened once. After a hard-reboot and a
retry it worked. With this Intel NUC machine happened everytime of the 4
times I tried to install it.

Yes, the code Marco changed cannot be reached when HOST_OS is kfreebsd*,
freebsd* or hurd*.  kfreebsd devfs provides all the device nodes without
manually creating any or using devices.tar.gz;  even for more exotic use
cases like BSD jails.  hurd appears to have something equivalent.

Re: d-i wheezy rc1 status; and unblock(-udeb)s, round 4

2012-12-29 Thread alberto fuentes
Nice new installer. I tried this and the beta3. Less bugs. The dialogs are
more clear and the text that goes with it. The way the questions are
separated from the explanations. The borderless window in the gui. Overall
I saw a great improvement in the experience.

small details i found:
- A little of inconsistency presenting yes/no questions with a continue
button, in the same way we present the rest of the steps of the
installation. I had to think for a while why i had no back button.
- When selecting a partition with data it knows the format of the fs, but
it does not autoselect it. Im i remember correctly once you select the
format, it does selects keep the data by default, witch is desirable :)
- Make partitions does hasnt been deal with stand out from the ones that
has (either automatically or by the user) would be great.

In my case the, the installation of the GRUB boot loader on the hard disk
failed. But I was only presented with a big general error screen... with
little detail on why it failed. Maybe some more info is desirable without
having to look at the logs.

Installer logs are huge. A little error grepping found the problem, but i
think it would be friendlier to log errors to a separate file.err as well

These are the relevant lines:

Not sure if I did something wrong on the partitioning or a bug, probably
the former, but i havent figured out why it is trying to install grub on
dummy nor i found any more references to this dummy device on this or the
rest of the logs.

Thanks!

Comments/Problems:

The installation process was easy and smooth as compared to past 
installs (with Etch and Lenny). It had become a sort of tradition in 
this machine the necessity to fight with the X server in order to
get the right resolution and font size -- there was even a package,
915resolution, to deal with such problems. That package is not
present anymore in Squeeze, and indeed this time I had to do 
nothing to configure the display. Good job there.

I had a small amount of trouble with the sound card, though. The 
sound module, snd-hda-intel, didn't find automatically the suitable
model and I had to find out which one was the good one. Finally it was
just a matter of adding to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf the
following line:

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig

After that, the sound worked just fine. There are strange issues, like
there's no "Master" control and the volume is managed by the "PCM"
control. There is, though, a "Master" commuter which has to be on in
order for the sound to work; there's also a "Front" commuter which has
to be on or there's no sound at all. Other models for the driver
also gave sound, but this one seemed to have a better PCM control.

The wireless card, an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] requires
proprietary firmware that can be found in the Debian package 
firmware-iwlwifi.

Here's the result of my tests.

20100326 -> 20100626: problem present. I've checked 1 image every ~15
days, always with the same result. I couldn't try images around
20100501, because my mouse has not been recognized.

20091231 -> 20100325: no graphical installer present.

20091001 -> 20091201: impossible to test. It doesn't work with
VirtualBox: a long series of Gtk-CRITICAL errors appears.

It seems that the graphical installer was disabled around Squeeze
Alpha1, and that the following images with the graphical installer
enabled again have this problem.

P.S.
Sorry for the double message. I forgot to click "Reply to All" instead
of "Reply".

Actually I don't know where to find all the snapshots of Debian CDs.
I could try Squeeze Alpha1, but I can't find an image with the graphical
installer included (nor netinst, nor businesscard, nor CD1).
Any hint about that?

I can reconfirm that same behavior even with the latest version of
debian-installer, downloaded from
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/gtk/mini.iso
today (25 June 2010). Is there anything else I can do to help resolving
this issue? It's very common to use the operating system in English
without an English keyboard, especially outside US and UK.

Here is a video that self-describes this problem:

The first part I mean the part before select what kind of installation, like

Problem with local repository

2010-03-16 Thread Hugo Alberto Perlin
Hello,
I'm trying to install Debian using the NetInst CD and a local repository
created using the apt-mirror app.
The installation with the local repository make the downloads of the first
part well. But in the second part, when it need
5 files, it requires the internet. Anybody knows what could be happen?

Thanks.

Comments/Problems:

I just wasted 4  hours trying to install in a DELL Vostro 200. After
detecting network and configuring it said that no hard drive can be
located. After some investigation in the console I found that the
kernel driver was loaded and that I was abble to mount the partitions.
But when I ran parted_devices I got a ldd error indicating that
libselinux.so.1 was not found. So I downloaded the stable (Lenny)
installer and it worked fine.

For some reason the libselinux.so.1 library is missing so the
partition tools don't work and the installer reports that it can't
detect the hard drive, but the hard drive is working fine.

Yes, but in the help it would be clear that "high/medium/low" with
"X" mode of operation mean "Y" bit of the key.

I don't think it's a nice idea to change/double the key size which
the user selected.
Anyway, I have to admit I didn't aware of that Kconfig suggestion.
I have to make a careful study to it.

It would be very nice to offer the user the option to choose the
cipher and all the options related to it separately.
E.g.
1) algorithm -> AES, Blowfish etc.
2) mode of operation -> CBC, LRW, XTS etc.
3) key size -> 128, 192, 256, 384, 512 (based on the selected
   algo+mode)
4) IV algorithm -> plain, essiv, benbi (only for LRW)
5) ivmode (only for CBC) -> sha1, sha256, sha512
But probably it is difficult to realize and in practice not so
useful.
So the best way is to offer only few predefined possibilities,
which nowdays are considered secure.
I suggest:
- aes-cbc-essiv:sha1 (with various keysize)
- aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 (with various keysize)
- aes-cbc-essiv:sha512 (with various keysize)
- aes-xts-plain (with various keysize)
The default choice would be the last one.

In fact no, as I stated just few lines before.

P.S.: why version 36 is not in testing?

At least in meantime (and before of lenny release) why don't
offer only few and safe predefined options?

Also in 2.6.26 (and .27)?

Comments/Problems:

Everything fine except one detail: My router seems to have a problem with tcp 
window scaling since kernel 2.6.17. Therefor I need to disable tcp window 
scaling to access most sites. Since this was a net install I needed to do it 
before contacting a mirror. In text mode no problem: pressing Alt+F3 I could 
access a console and disable it. But in the graphical installer pressing Alt+F3 
did nothing so I couldn't complete the installation in graphical mode.

Regards.

Bug#378123: Probably fixed now

2006-07-24 Thread Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta
Hi,

I think this [1] bug was the problem. And it seems to be fixed now.
So, unless yaboot 1.3.13-7 does not make it to etch, I guess this bug
report can be closed.

Regards,

Alberto

Yaboot. Actually I didn't choose anything, I guess that's the way to go on 
powerpc.

Bug#378123: debian-installer: Installing /boot on a XFS makes the system not bootable

2006-07-13 Thread Alberto Gonzalez Iniesta
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important


Hi,

I tried debian-installer on an iBook G4 with the 20060711 image (IIRC),
and after the install the system didn't boot. The kernel panics (it will
fail uncompressing the initrd). Seems to be a problem with the initrd
living in an XFS partition. Making a ext3 partition for /boot fixed it.

The problem is reported in Ubuntu:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14485

Since I don't expect the fix to be easy, some kind of warning would be
nice, to avoid making users go crazy with this.

Thanks,

Alberto

Comments/Problems:
. The debian-installer cdimage I downloaded didn't have the modules for
I2O hardware, so I had to built a custom boot disc using
linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-0.66 and debian-installer-20040801 to add the
I2O modules to a mini.iso cdimage.
. debian-installer didn't load the modules for the RAID controller, so I
had to manually load them:
modprobe i2o_block
modprobe i2o_config
modprobe i2o_proc
Once the modules where loaded the installer recognized the discs and
offered me the option to partition them. Devices /dev/i2o/hda/disc,
/dev/i2o/hda/part1, /dev/i2o/hda/part2... got created automatically.
. when installing the base system kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 installation
failed with the message:
Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 (2.6.8-3) ...
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /dev/i2o/hda/part1: Unknown root device
Please refer to the manual page.
Failed to create initrd image.
and base system installation failed. I fixed this by making my own
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686_2.6.8-3 that didn't use an initrd and
installing it before debian-installer got to installing the kernel.
. when I tried to install the grub boot loader it failed since it did
not recognise /dev/i2o/hda/disc as a BIOS boot drive. Then I tried to
install the LILO boot loader but that step just returned without doing
anything.
. after installing grub manually I booted and completed the debian
installation. But when I rebooted to test everything I couldn't boot
since the device names where changed from /dev/i2o/hda/part1 to
/dev/i2o/hda1.
