Feature Request
Hello, 1st... I thank you all for this installer, great work. But I have a small feature request, regarding the "crypto setup" in the installer. Although the installer offers many opportunities, but important details would be desirable (in terms of security) if you could add them. - A choice of hash algorithms (SHA-512, RIPEMD160 ... etc., in order to always have the best possible choice) - Arbitrary iterations (default: 1000, but more would increase the security dramatically) thx in advance Hallo, als Erstes... Ich danke allen für diesen Installer, großartige Arbeit. Aber ich habe eine kleine Feature Anfrage, bezüglich des "crypto setup" im Installer. Zwar bietet der Installer sehr viele Möglichkeiten, doch wichtige Details wären wünschenswert (hinsichtlich der Sicherheit), wenn man diese hinzufügen könnte. - Eine Wahl der Hash Algorithmen (SHA-512, RIPEMD160 ... etc., um stets die bestmögliche Wahl zu haben) - Frei wählbare Iterationen (Standard: 1000, jedoch mehr würde die sicherheit dramatisch steigern) danke schonmal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#485064: installation-report: lenny install on Thinkpad T61

In fact, I didn't receive any questions after the first reboot. It went straight to the KDM login screen. Actually, one of the few questions I was asked was to choose between GDM and KDM. If you're trying to limit the number of questions asked of non-experts, KDM should be chosen automatically on the KDE CD. There was clearly a problem, though: no fonts. Login screens are pretty standard, so I filled out the two unlabelled boxes and watched KDE start. There was no text anywhere. I installed e17 from debian.alphagemini.org and logged in again. e17 had no problem with text (and Eterm worked), but no KDE or GTK apps that I tried showed text. I flailed a bit, installing font packages, reinstalling and reconfiguring fontconfig and various X packages. I also purged all the gnome packages installed on my system at this point, on the off-chance that gnome-control-center-whatever, gconfd, or one of the other daemons could be causing the trouble. I finally found a forum post with a suggestion that fixed it (sorry, I can't find the URL now). I added vga=791 to my kernel commandline. It had previously been using a plain text console. Once I started booting with a framebuffer console, X fonts worked. The other problem was with the iwl4965 wireless. The installer gave no hint that it detected the wireless card, and it didn't work after reboot. I manually installed the firmware-iwlwifi package and upgraded to kernel 2.6.24. The necessary kernel module was included in the debian kernel package, so I imagine this wireless card will be supported in the installer eventually. I had to manually install wpasupplicant (which make sense, I guess, since my wireless wasn't detected), but I also had to manually install hibernate. The latter package seems like a useful one for any laptop user. -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.

I chose the multi-partition method, and I was a bit confused when I decided I wanted to tweak the partition sizes. I should have taken notes during the install, but I remember being frustrated that my only option to change anything was by choosing the manual partition method. When I finally gave up and resigned myself to the partitions chosen by the installer, I think I had to say OK to a dialog that sounded final, but actually allowed me to make the changes afterward. Maybe it asked me about writing the partition table to disk, then allowed me to tweak the LVM volumes afterward? I'm sorry that's a vague complaint, but I don't remember exactly. The real problem is that after installing the system, it became apparent that my root partition was too small. I used the default size of 256MiB. When I tried to install the non-free flash player, that pulled in ia32-libs, which completely overwhelmed the root partition. That led me to a crash course in LVM via Google. My root partition is now twice as big, and the ia32-libs package fits. I remember telling the installer 3 times that I didn't need to activate PCMCIA. Maybe it's important to raise that question at multiple times for some laptop hardware, but I started to wonder why the installer wouldn't take "no" for an answer. My AMD 780G / ATI HD3200 integrated video appears to be very unsupported. X gave me nothing but a blank screen upon initial install. Upgrading the ati driver to unstable gave me a distorted (but usable) display that seemed to be stretched to double height with only the top half visible on my screen. I am now running the radeonhd driver from git HEAD, and it works beautifully (though it doesn't restore text consoles on exit).
