Bug#491737: installation-reports: Succesful install on QNAP TS-109 Pro II
* Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-07-31 18:19]: Yeah, you're right. oldsys-preseed has the following comment about this. I guess the question is whether the new localechooser deals properly locale not being preseeded in this situation. Should all work fine. Just drop the preseed. Okay, I can select the language now. However, most text still stays in English, although some things show up in the chosen language. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

However, most text still stays in English, although some things show up in the chosen language. That must be because anna has already been run before localechooser and thus unused translations have been deleted to save memory. To keep translations you'll have to unset DEBCONF_DROP_TRANSLATIONS.

* Timo Jyrinki [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-07-31 12:19]: Anyway, the directory access problem is still there.

Quoting Martin Michlmayr ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): * Timo Jyrinki [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-07-21 21:53]: Only possible problem during installation I hit was that I wasn't able to choose Finnish as installation language. Maybe a feature of this installation method, not a bug? At one point there was possibility to choose language, I think - it asked for the continent and country but then continued when I selected Finland without giving a choice of language. After the installation, I ran dpkg-reconfigure locales manually. Christian, can you comment on this? I always forget what the implications of exluding localechooser from the initrd are. Normally, when localechooser is added, you should then get the prompt for language+country. Which is partly what Timo had, as he mentions being prompted for continent+country. (IIRC, this happens at a later step while in normal installs this happens at the very beginning of course) localechooser was quite deeply revamped during the etch-lenny release cycle so it could be likely that, for some reason, the language question is not askedwhich is probably not really intended but just something not enough tested when localechooser was modified. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I couldn't reproduce the hang anymore when attaching an USB disk, only when using the eSATA connector. eSATA problems could be easily addressed to the experimental sata support, but I don't know why I had the same problem with USB before (I think I tried it two or three times back then). Anyway, the directory access problem is still there. I now checked with both a 1TB disk and 300GB disk, and both had the same sort of problems: d? ? ??? ? Ø - Metri etc. Is this a vfat filesystem? All are ext3. The HDD enclosure used is Icy Dock MB-664US-1S. -Timo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Timo Jyrinki [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008-07-21 21:53]: After installation I did encounter problems with using external disks: - System hang whenever either eSATA disk or USB disk was connected or disconnected I'm away from my QNAP right now but I'll test this next week. However, I believe this worked for me. Can you reproduce this 100%? i.e. plugging in an USB disk will hang the machine? - However, some directories were not accessible. All unaccessible directories seemed to (at a casual look) have special characters in their names, but many similar named directories worked without problems. For example (from my FLACd CD collection): d? ? ??? ? Björk - Telegram d? ? ??? ?
