I also noticed this error when trying to update a kernel from a
recovery chroot (using jumpdrive) on my Librem 5.

This is just annoying as it did not really affect booting of the
machine.

Please note that the default partition layout and hence the size of 
/boot is architecture-
specific. Thus, you need to specify the architecture when asking to 
change the partition

sizes.


This is amd64. (lenovo thinkpad x230 and x240).

Bug#951709: /boot should get a bigger share of disk in default installation

[Pirate Praveen]

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20190702+deb10u3
Severity: important

With initrd around 60+ MBs, 236 MB /boot in a 300 GB hard disk can hold 
only 2 versions of the kernels at the same time. When installing a 3rd 
kernel /boot gets filled up. I think it should be able to store at 
least 3 kernels and ideally 4 or even more.


The paritions were created automatically with just /home in a separate 
partition with lvm by debian buster installer.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for clarifying. I was hoping for
stretch-updates, but I'll have to live with a point release. In that
case, I understand the delay.

But it is blocking everyone, as it can't go into updates without your

The reason why debian is stable is because of the extensive testing.
Unfortunately the live installer did not receive the extensive testing
as the regular installer or the rest of debian. Only live installer had
this problem and if more people volunteer to test pre-releases of live
installer, we can avoid the situation in future.

I understand the limitation, but thinks the solution can be better than
what we have currently. gdm3, gnome-session and synaptic will be a
better default (as gnome-desktop-enviroment is bigger than can be bit
into a CD) than a system without a gui. This allows a user to install
required packages from the network.

Bug#830951: Support usb dongles via usb-modeswitch and network-manager during installation

[Pirate Praveen]

package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

I installed a desktop system using jessie 8.5 cd 1 image. Even though desktop 
was selected, I was booted into a text terminal because I could not use my usb 
dongle during installation. After the system is installed, I still could not 
use the dongle. After connecting my android phone and usb tethering, I could 
install usb-modeswitch and use internet.

I think graphical system with synaptic should be installed on CD 1. I 
understand the whole gnome can't fit into a CD, but it should be in a position 
to be able to install more software.

Can we install gdm3 and synaptic on CD1?

When I choose save debug logs option and choose web, I can only see
hardware-summary and partman, which is not very useful. Should this
be filed as another bug?

When I look at /var/log/ only these files are present.

When I chroot into /target, not much useful info in /var/log as well

When I run apt-cache policy grub-pc

there is no candidate present because the installation media is not
selected as an apt source.

When I execute a shell from installer menu and run

apt-cdrom add

and exit. grub install succeeds.

So all we need to do is run apt-cdrom add if they choose not to use a
network mirror.

Bug#785069: jessie live-installer can't install grub when booted via usb drive without internet

[Pirate Praveen]

package: live-installer
severity: critical
version: 49

I had to install grub manually going into console (control+alt f1),
mount the install disk and use dpkg -i to install grub twice. One was
i386 lxde edition of jessie on virtual box and second was amd64 version
of cinnamon+nonfree on a dell laptop. I used dd to make the usb disk
bootable. In both cases internet connection was not available. I think
it is something to do with configuring the disk as an apt source properly.

This is very disappointing as live + install is very useful.

package: partman-auto
version: 126


When default disk space of 8gb is chosen in virtual box and
auto-partition with encryption is selected, root partition is given just
2.3 gb and installation fails without enough space (using lxde live
prebuilt image).

I think it would be better to give enough space for root partition if
disk space is small. Since 8gb is the default size of virtual box hard
disk, this situation can be common. I think the same issue will happen
without encryption as well.

Since we already know the size requirement of a live image, I think it
makes sense to allocate the required space for / partition.

Bug#772796: debian installer don't detect dmraid/sataraid/fakeraid

[Pirate Praveen]

package: installation-reports
severity: critical

It took  a long research online to finally install wheezy on Dell
PowerEdge T20 server. I had to manually enter dmraid=true at installer
prompt and then manually install grub.

Bug report against grub for correctly installing when dmraid=true is set
is here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=772795

Debian Installer should be able to detect if the system has a fakeraid
and then load dm-raid module.
