Bug#226730: Problem with wireless pcmcia network card and keymap
Hi, The translation stuff seems to be fixed, or will be fixed soon. However, I didn't see much response related to my network and keymap problems. For the networking: the problem (or a part of the problem at least) seems to be that during boot (rcS), PCMCIA isn't started. /etc/network/interfaces however contains auto eth0 and tries to run the dhcp client on this interface, before it is possible. The way to do it (according to the FAQ in the pcmcia-cs package), is to remove the auto keyword for PCMCIA network interfaces. When PCMCIA starts in runlevel 2, it will run ifup eth0 and get the network running. I'm not sure how this fits in the installer boot process but I guess you will need to handle this distinction between regular and PCMCIA interfaces. Another thing I noticed: At the first boot, hardware detection is executed. This causes the pcmcia and orinoco_cs modules to be loaded. I then get the screen asking me which network module to use. When I select orinoco_cs there, I get a red screen telling me there's no network card. I guess this is because modprobe orinoco_cs fails because the module is already loaded. If I select none of the above, I don't get an error, but I'm dropped to the menu where you can choose which installation step to perform. Selecting the hilighted step makes the install continue fine. The same thing happens when I use my pcnet_cs card. The keymap problem: the error I am getting is a bug in console-tools in testing and unstable.

Quoting Bart Cornelis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Incomplete console-data package debconf translation http://people.debian.org/~barbier/intl/l10n/po-debconf/nl shows console-data is now complete, so this should be solved Maybe a testing/unstable issue. Console-data was updated very recently in unstable while the package on manty's images is probably the testing version. In the second stage. This probably means that debconf dialog interface is not translated in dutch. Bart, you need to look at this. This is hidden in another package (do not remember which one currentlynewt or something) can anybody tell me where tese are hidden, cause I haven't got a clue My memory is better than yesterday. This is in whiptail package. Look at the po directory (not debian/po, but po alone). I should add this to 2nd stage stuff as whiptail is what debconf uses for its dialog interface controls. I choose 'Europa' and get Australian cities! Had to select 'Indische oceaan' to get European cities Translation problem. Bart ? heh, left out Asia in the translated choises list, fixed in cvs _Choices chould be changed to __Choices in base-config for avoiding such mistakes. Unfortunately, this is a painful work switching this as this will fuzzy a lot of stuuf in translations. I suggested the same for Andreas Metzler's exim4-config (I guess you were contacted by him for dutch) which has a confusing Choices list. Bart : exim4-config translation needs update..:-) on my todo list See above. We were both contacted by A. Metzler as he changes exim4-config templates. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Bart, a lot of nl tsl stuff in this report, if you didn't manage to see it...Alastair same for keyboard stuff : kbd-chooser and console-data) First of all, many many thanks for this very detailed report which will gve work to several of us..:-))...mostly translators If someone has time. This report is worth being splitted in several small bug reports. But some of them have trivial fixes (translation typos)so they're better not worth the work of filing a BR. Quoting Bastiaan Van Eeckhoudt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): * choose a language screen first line is ( ??? ? ? (? ? is this supposed to contain anything meaningful? The cyrillic and Updated bulgarian translation (bg.po). chinese text is displayed correctly further down the list Arabic entry messed up. Already fixed. * I chose Nederlands (Belgie). I always use US English on my PC's, but I This is Bad. You should always support the localization efforts in your own language. Good l10n is one of the keys for world domination...:-) Just kidding, of course, but as you may see using your own loanguage helps you finding translation errors. wanted to have a look at the translations default keyboard that is highlighted is Dutch, this should be be-latin1 if you choose Belgium as your country Yes, this should. However, we're in the process of changing all this. If my proposal is accepted, there will be only *one* language entry for dutch on the first screen, followed by a countrychooser screen. On this latter screen, the default will depend on the language you choose first. Probably Netherlands when Dutch is chosen (except if Belgium people make a lot of noiseI know they can). But Belgium will be listed anyway. You should even be able to choose any other country. Then this country setting will be used as default for all county-related stuff (mirror, keyboard...) * Bugs in the partconf nl translation paritities should be partities Bart Cornelis will look at this, I guess. Create ext2 file system, Create ext3 file system, Create reiserfs file system messages not translated Known problem. Supposed to be fixed now. * After rebooting network was not activated! No idea on this one, I guess someone will have more knowledge than myself there. * Configuring console-data screen is untranslated Incomplete console-data package debconf translation I briefly saw an error flash by: KDGKBENT error: Failed to dump keymap I then expected to choose i386/qwerty/uk keymap, but it gave the error several times and then tried to install mac-uk keyboard for some reason. A bit later I was asked if I wanted the USB version of this mac keyboard. I tried to fix this manually with install-keymap on the console but it fails with the same error. Why didn't it remember I have a uk keyboard? This probably needs one of us to file s special BR. Console-data should probably check the existence of debconf settings from kbd-chooser * Time zone configuration screen uses 'systeemklok' and 'hardware klok' when referring to the same thing. It should only use one term. linux is spelled with a small l Bart, this is for you. I always get Yes/No Ok/Cancel options. I expected these to be translated as well. In the second stage. This probably means that debconf dialog interface is not translated in dutch. Bart, you need to look at this. This is hidden in another package (do not remember which one currentlynewt or something) I choose 'Europa' and get Australian cities! Had to select 'Indische oceaan' to get European cities Translation problem. Bart ? * password for root dialog screen not translated type password again is translated dag-dagelijks should be dagdagelijks user account screen is untranslated several dialog titles are untranslated Probably the templates for the shadow package are outdated. Shadow's maintainer is a bit slow at integrating translations. * it says volgende stap installatiestap somewhere. the stap in the middle should be removed. Shadow package translation problem * why isn't the mirror I selected earlier remembered? Joey, that specific topic is interesting to check : could apt-config get the previously selected mirror from the debconf database ? somewhere one of the occurences of mirror is not translated in spiegelserver network failure: apt couldn't contact server (network still isn't active), so I had to switch to console and do /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart to fix this. * exim4-config several typos: emaill - e-mail afgelevert - afgeleverd Allle - Alle e-mail en E-mail are both used - pick one and stick to it exim4-config asks a lot of questions... If I choose local delivery, why does it want a list of IP addresses to listen on? Bart : exim4-config translation needs update..:-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When installing this, the lilo installation part fails because it can't find /initrd.img. It was already renamed to initrd.old on the disk, but lilo.conf still refered to initrd.img. I also have a warning about /proc/partitions using ide/host0/... and lilo.conf having /dev/hda I manually fixed lilo.conf and rebooted The old kernel still doesn't solve keymap and network problems... My keyboard is set to us instead
