Bug#976808: Bullseye arm64 d-i Alpha 3: Items cannot be selected by space
Control: retitle -1 arrow keys are received as just ^[ on ttyAMA0 Control: reassign -1 qemu-system-arm 1:5.1+dfsg-4+b1 From: Alper Nebi Yasak Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 17:36:20 +0300 > (Just in case, try running "cat -v" and pressing the arrow keys -- it > prints ^[[A upto ^[[D or ^[0A upto ^[0D for me.) Thank you for trying to reproduce the symptom. I tried * -device virtio-gpu-pci -device usb-kbd * -device virtio-gpu-pci -device vitio-keyboard-pci. with qemu-system-aarch64. On my own built QEMU disk image, in both cases, * On /dev/tty1, arrow keys print ^[[A ^[[B and * on /dev/ttyAMA0 they just print ^[. This symptom is independent of Debian Installer Alpha 3, and looks a bug in qemu-system-arm or linux-image-arm64. So I reassign this to qemu and retitle this. /dev/tty1 is unusable by d-i Alpha 3 with the default kernel command line, and I added "console=tty1" to the kernel command line as I was told at the Debian ARM mailing list. Then I am now able to use arrow keys on the graphical installer! Thanks! This is not an errata of d-i, but adding this workaround "console=tty1" to https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata may be helpful to users. Ryutaroh

I tried running it under different terminals (tmux, xfce4-terminal, gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt-unicode) in case that was the problem, but couldn't reproduce this. Other than that I have no idea why it wouldn't work. (Just in case, try running "cat -v" and pressing the arrow keys -- it prints ^[[A upto ^[[D or ^[0A upto ^[0D for me.) > When I tried a weekly build of d-i on November or October, > at least "v" and "^" worked, d-i failed on "tasksel", and > the installation cannot be completed > > But Alpha 3 does not seem to recognize "v" or "^" as subtitutes of arrow keys, > and the situation got worse. Ryutaroh For me, "v" and "^" work on the GRUB menu but not on the d-i menus (both in Alpha 3 and Alpha 2), but I didn't test that on any weekly builds.

Hi Alper, thank you for paying attention. > On that specific question, you use the arrow keys to navigate between Neither the space bar nor arrow keys worked for me with Alpha 3... When I tried a weekly build of d-i on November or October, at least "v" and "^" worked, d-i failed on "tasksel", and the installation cannot be completed But Alpha 3 does not seem to recognize "v" or "^" as subtitutes of arrow keys, and the situation got worse.

On that specific question, you use the arrow keys to navigate between options and to choose the option you want. But, there are some questions where you mark which options you want with and continue to the next question with , you can identify those by the brackets before given the options which look like: [*] Selected option [ ] Unselected option For those questions does work on my machine with your command. It might be a small misunderstanding, so lowering severity. But I'd expect to answer the first kind of question as well.
Bug#976808: Bullseye arm64 d-i Alpha 3: Items cannot be selected by space
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20201202
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
As I reported at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=976807
Bullseye arm64 d-i does not provide graphical installation
to QEMU VMs. So I tried text-based installation. The
installer says:
moves; selects; activates buttons
But is not recognized. When I type an alphabet letter,
the selection moves to an item starting with that letter,
but when there are multiple items starting with the same latter
(e.g. Africa and Asia), I cannot choose the second item (e.g. Asia).
This really prevents me from installation...
