Bug#255263: bug report
Installer could not detect the SATA hard drive that was connected through a Promise SATA150 TX4 PCI interface card (non-RAID). At the partitioning step, no hard drives were available. Still working on a way to get Debian to see my drive... Promise provides driver source code but my old drive crashed and the MB doesn't support new, high-capacity drives. Is it possible to have that driver on the install CD? Can you test with the following image: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/i386/current/sarge-i386-netinst.iso (possibly download it after 20:00UTC) -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

SATA support (was: Re: Summary do D-I IRC meeting 20040619)
Quoting Brian May ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I submitted a bug report #252211 concerning SATA support (as well as screen corruption when changing consoles), and I also see bug report #254071 which looks similar. So far I haven't got any response. D-i team is a bit crowded with install reports and there is few manpower for dealing with them, unfortunately. Bug report #254071 says it should work with the 2.4.x kernel, I didn't test 2.4.x because I though something relatively new like SATA would require 2.6.x, I may have been mistaken...

BiDirectional text and right-to-left languages support in Debian Installer
After very hard and deep work by Steve Langasek (using preliminary work from Shlomi Loubaton), the Debian Installer team is proud to announce that right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi (Persian) and several others (usually called BiDi support) are now supported by the first stage installation process of Debian. This work needed to include patches to libraries used for user input during the installation phase, in text mode. The very latest netinst images built by the Debian Installer team, with BiDi support, are available at: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/i386/current/sarge-i386-netinst.iso (other arches also include BiDi support, replace i386 by your architecture name in the above link) Screenshots: http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/d-i/screenshots/ Debian is thus now, as far as we know, the very first Linux distribution to support RTL languages from the beginning of its installation process. A lot of work remains to be done, for instance keeping RTL and BiDi working when the distribution is installed, or right-aligning dialog boxes, but a giant step has been achieved. We also need to properly support BiDi/RTL with debconf in the installation 2nd stage and at the console, after rebooting. The not_working/2nd_stage-arabic.png screenshot at the above URL shows that this currently is not the case (it is left-to-right displayed). This work is part of the general globalization process of Debian and specifically our installation software, which now includes translation in 40 languages, covering about 68% of the world population. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Call For Help: Accessibility support in d-i
Unfortunately, something seems to have broken recently, and the currently generated access floppy images do not boot anymore. The boot floppy starts to load normally, and after some time, SYSLINUX reports: Boot failed: Please change disks and press any key to continue. After some investigations today, it seems the problem may be narrowed down to the kernel-image-2.4.xx-speakup udeb. I tried to build a regular floppy boot image (make build_floppy_boot) with this kernel instead of the default flavour by modifying the needed cfg file. This boot image experimented the reported problem which rebuilding it again with the usual kernel worked well. So the investigation should probably focus on this special kernel flavour. This topic (not yet solved) revealed to me the existence of the accessiblity flavour of d-i. Apart from the problem Mario related (which is imho not far from being RC), we should all more focus and this accessbility variant of Debian Installer. For instance, having it available as an option on the regular CD, if technically possible, would be a great progress. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

If eacute is replaced by its Unicode notation U+00E9 in keymap file, everything works fine now.

Bug#255597: Installation Target on Second IDE Drive
severity 255597 grave thanks Quoting Frans Pop ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Although this case is fairly exceptional, I have assigned severity important until it has been determined whether having e.g. only the first partitions the same size on two disks would also result in generating the same ID. Also, this could be a problem for identically partitioned disks used in a RAID. This problem could cause data loss for an inattentive user! IMHO, this deserves a RC severity (grave). As soon as we identity a potential data loss, which Martin did on that case, the bug should be tagged as RC, no matter it may happen very rarely.. ;-) Solution could be to use target and partition numbers in calculating the partition ID's.

Pointing users to d-i images on the main page
I'm currently feeling that the way we currently point users to the various builds on the d-i main page (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer) is not optimal. Basically, we have 3 sections here: -beta4 -tc1 -daily builds The daily builds section links to a dedicated page (www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/builds) explaining the differences between sid_d-i and sarge_d-i Strangely, this page mentions sid_d-i as the daily builds while the main installer page link in Daily builds points to http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/ which has *sarge_d-i* builds There are several consequences to all this: -we receive too much reports for beta4 and for nearly all of them we always answer one of the following: -please test a more recent image such as tc1 and sid_s-i -this has been fixed. Please try. (tc1 or sid_d-i) -tc1 which was meant to be a test candidate is probably is bit too visible currently and several users take it as the last official release -sid_d-i images are very hard to find Just before Saturday's meeting, I received a proposal by Vince McIntyre for a how to help us testing d-i page: http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/d-i/irc-meeting-20040619/vince2.html I suggest that -we keep only beta4 on the main d-i page as official release.

I'm not sure about other archs, but at least on alpha, the last remaining *known* showstopper is getting aboot-installer 0.0.11 into testing. This leads me to one quesiton : why does the current sarge_d-i image claims (when hitting F1 at the boot prompt) that it was built on 20040528? Is this because the netboot never change since then (but some packages may have been pushed into testing after this date) or because all packages there are older than 20040528?

Re: 20040621 i386 sid_d-i OK
Quoting Steve Langasek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): OK ar_EG 2.4 (but no RTL in 2nd-stage...not d-i related) It is d-i related, to the extent that libfribidi0 will need to be OK. In my opinion, this was not directly d-i related as this is not a thing (getting bidified slang in testing) that the d-i team really has control on. installed by base-installer on platforms where RTL is needed. The other factor, of course, is that the version of slang in testing does not yet support bidi (5 more days to wait on this one). uh, I was missing something here. So, in 5 days, if libfribidi0 is installed by base-installer, we will have a RTL 2nd stage, then? If so, the question narrows down to : how to have libfribidi0 installed by base-installer PS : while I am at this BiDi thing--I have read, by digging on arabeyes mailing lists, that the new libfribidi is about to be released. This version is supposed to include shaping support directly and, according to the discussions there, libfribidi shaping will just take place before applications internal shaping.

H, I'm afraid there is a little misunderstanding here. grub-installer really uses the title option of course. However, as Debian Installer tries to detect other operating systems on the installed system, and add GRUB menu entries for them, it indeed uses a fake menu entry, named Other operating systems, which just does nothing..and below it are the real entries for booting the detected Operatin SYstems such as Windows flavours, other Linux installs, Solaris, whatever The bug submitter here just mentioned that the Other operating Systems entry just did nothing. So I turned out to a kind of wishlist for GRUB : having some possible section titles, just needed for sorting things, on which the pointer cannot be moved (it just moves over it). As the bug submitter mentioned, this is far from being critical, more a wishlist and probably to be forwarded upstream. So, if that kind of special title is currently not possible with GRUB, I'd prefer see this bug assign to grub, of course.
Bug#255263: How to run lspci on a newly installed system?
lspci is unavailable. I looked for it on the ramdisk and on the cdrom (which was mounted already) but I guess it gets installed later... after the hard drive is detected. That's an interesting problem. Most often, people coming with new hardware we need lspci output for have another Linux distribution installed on it, so running lspci is not a big problem. In your case, this is more tricky and I have no idea by myself. Mabe someon in debian-boot will have a suggestion. This is why I change the subject, just to get people attention. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Install Report (22 June 04 Daily Build), Problem with Time Zones
Well, here are some more settings--perhaps they may help you track down the problem: After running exactly this setup in VmWare, I finally ended with date showing a time in EDT timezone. and /etc/localtime was properly linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern So, I'm afraid investigating the issue you reported will be very difficult. Can you retry this setup or was it a one-time install? It relates to the package 'shorewall' -- the directory that (usually) holds the configuration files /etc/shorewall/ was empty. The default configuration files were in /usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config/. I don't know if there is a good reason for the change (they used to be in /etc/shorewall/) --but I can't help think the current arrangement (of default config files) is less newbie friendly. Also, isn't the first thing one does is--copy the default config files to the /usr/shorewall/ directory? I suggest you report this as a bug against the shorewall package and deal it with the maintainer.

But this keymap cannot be used Uh, I confirm, it work with: keycode 3 = U+00E9 +two tildeEacute alt keycode 3 = Meta_two alt shift keycode 3 = Meta_asciitilde With such a modified keymap, in a Unicode console, I can type é by hitting the é/2/~ key on my french keyboard while hitting the è/7/` gives crap Looks like I'm about writing a fr-unicode.kmap:-)
Bug#251550: Keyboard freezes when typing non-ASCII letters (was Re: Bug#251550: Bug#254630: LVM names)
But now keyboard is in UTF-8 mode, so bytes are passed to the kernel without conversion, and 0x00 0xe9 is sent instead of its UTF-8 representation 0xc3 0xa9. If eacute is replaced by its Unicode notation U+00E9 in keymap file, everything works fine now. But this keymap cannot be used when keyboard is in ASCII mode, The only solution is to have two keymaps, one for ASCII mode and the other one for UTF-8 mode. This looks pretty crazy, loadkeys should automatically convert from numerical/litteral value to Unicode notation (and vice versa) depending on current keyboard mode. So, as a consequence, you define this as a bug in loadkeys And thus, the relevant bug could be immediately solved by: -writing a Unicode variant for nearly all Latin keymaps (similar to the Turkish solution) And as a middle term solution: -correcting loadkeys (thus file a bug against console-tools) For the long term, you mentioned me in another mail that the keyboard management should now use kbd, IIRC.

Bug#251550: Keyboard freezes when typing non-ASCII letters
reassign 251550 console-tools,kbd thanks (not sure if it's better assigning the bug to the two packages...or clone it and assign one copy each) Quoting Denis Barbier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): This is a solution. IMO a better one is to patch loadkeys as explained in my previous post. Here is a first try, I patched kbd 1.12 instead of console-tools because I do not know dpatch. Keymap files must declare a charset so that conversion between Unicode, literal and decimal notations can be performed. Hmm, Alastair, it's really worth having a look at this, then. This keyboard freeze is really a problem for the Installer. What about kbd? You mentioned me in another mail this supposedly more recent system for handling keyboard layouts Not exactly, Turkish keymaps are better in console-data than in kbd, but others are better in kbd. As I said months ago, I do not see the point in maintaining console-tools when it is dead upstream, and am quite upset to see that fr-latin0 was chosen as default for French when it is obsolete and has been removed from kbd. Hmmm, I made this proposal in debian-*-french lists...and there was kind of general agreement. But maybe lot of people didn't have all the needed information. What is your recommendation for french keyboards?

Pre-seeding XFree settings for keyboard in Debian Installer
Currently, we probably all know that choosing a non US keyboard during Debian Installer and then installing X, all this at high debconf priority (with X configuration debconf questions about keyboard *not* asked) will end with a strange system where the user has chosen, say a french keyboard.but will have a graphical login screen with a US keyboard layout. As a consequence, users not aware of this will just be unable to login as soon as their chosen password contains letters which are mapped differently on a FR and a US keyboard (and there are a *lot*). This is obviously very bad and I sometimes feel this should be RC... There are already bug reports suggesting that X uses console-data settings. However, discussions have clearly shown that mapping both is quite complicated. As a way to circumvent this, I propose that we pre-seed xserver-xfree86 settings about keyboard, mostly xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model and xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout with appropriate values, depending on the chosen keyboard layout during the kbd-chooser step in d-i. Example debconf-get console-keymaps-at/keymap case $RET in fr-latin9) debconf-set xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model pc105 debconf-set xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout fr ;; de-latin1) debconf-set xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model pc105 debconf-set xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/layout de ;; .../... and so on... This does not seem to break X configuration processthe values are just pre-seeded and thus will be used as such if the user has High priority for debconf (default after d-i).or just as a default if he has lower priority. Instead of a giant case loop, some other system with a basic mapping in a file could of course be used.

Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Several fixes have gone into testing, but I still have these issues listed as important and unresolved in testing: - some broken m68k images (fix: mke2fs fix needed; UNKNOWN) Yep ? The IRC meeting lead to nothing on that topic. - broken sparc64 module loading (fix: busybox-cvs 20040415-3) The buybox-cvs fix cannot go in until we've dealt with netcfg. Either we update netcfg, or we need a newer busybox-cvs that turns udhcp back on to avoid breaking the netcfg in testing. I plan to do the latter by a NMU soon, if nothing else is done. We had a few people, namely Giuseppe Sacco and Martin Krafft, who volunteered for netcfg testing. maybe they should coordinate with Joshua and Thomas, now. - mips Installs on r4k-ip22 needs 36 mb ram (fix: unknown -- new glibc?) If it's the new glibc, then just rebuilding the images using the rc1 branch should fix these problems. Can someone check this? Thiemo Seufer mentioned during the meeting he is OK to check this thing, but he wasn't sure about having enough time It seems that a quite large agreement is achieved about the new languagechooser/countrychooser scheme. having it in tc2 would seem to be a very important improvement, and is also needed for BiDi support in 2nd stage. This is not strictly release critical and I still remember we both agreed to postpone these after rc1 (so, after tc2) at the end of Debconf. However, lot of time passed since thenand I tested this stuff nearly daily, always changing languages here and there (I even have now a framework for testing netboot images and possibly find nasty crash bugs like the one you found for Arabic). So, I think I need to convince you that pushing languagechooser/countrychooser/lowmem (the 3 are needed in the same time) to testing will be an enhancement and NOT introducing new bugs like it may have been in the past. Oh, and while I'm at it, choose-mirror, if pushed to testing needs either a solid review of the code in sort-countriesor commenting this script temporarily if unsure (thus needing a new upload). BTW, this script can be set -e. tc2 needs of course a small string freeze. I would say that 3-4 days may be enough as long as a one-week delay for warning translators before the freeze is allowed. A string freeze over a week-end is better (say, from a Thursday 18:00 up to a Sunday 18:00 UTC) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: preparing for tc2
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): goes with a release. We're currently 75% of the way through such a release cycle for rc1, past the string freeze, past a lot of testing and ^^ That is partly true. For instance, if the netcfg joshk uploaded yesterday is due to be pushed into testing, it needs a mini string freeze. And I would be quite unhappy if this version with only 4-5 languages complete is the released version. Same happens for the few packages that had string changes since early June (such as mdcfg, IIRC, as well as a few others), see seppy's page. We also have this nasty line drawing problem which seems to have come kack again into sarge_d-i (I'm currently trying to confirm this definitely, but I have less time to give to d-i these days) But, well, as I said, I perfectly understand if the new languagechooser/countrychooser scheme does not enter testing : we can't change the release plans each days. At this time and not knwoing about possible 2.6.7 kernel, keeping the old languagechooser has the following consequences: -line drawing problems for most languages (or maybe only English...needs confirmation) in 2nd stage for 2.6 kernels -no possible correct BiDi display on 2nd stage Both not release critical, for sure (maybe the first one) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

(forw) Bug#251550 acknowledged by developer (Bug#251231: fixed in console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-53)
251550 was originally a d-i bug which after lot of analysis turned out to be a console-tools bug. This is the d-i freezes when entenring high ASCII characters bug. Denis Barbier spotted the problem, provided a patch, and Alastair integrated it in console-tools. IIRC, the same patch has to be applied to kbd-chooser's loadkeys. I guess Alastair will make the change in the currently unrelease 0.55 version. My opinion is that this should make its way into testing as soon as a few days sid_d-i tests will have proven it does not break the general keyboard handling. - Forwarded message from Debian Bug Tracking System [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Debian Bug Tracking System [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Christian Perrier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug#251550 acknowledged by developer (Bug#251231: fixed in console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-53) Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 13:33:13 -0700 This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report #251550: cdebconf: Appears to hang when typing high-ascii characters in string templates, which was filed against the console-tools,kbd package.

Re: Proposal for completing the builds web page
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): There are some typos. Other than that, one problem is that it doesn't really talk about anything other than CD images. Well, I had a look at thisbut indeed the current http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/builds is also about CD images only. Other type of images are rather harder to explain without confusing our testers, imho. So, I still propose the page I pointed (with the typos fixed) as reference for *CD builds*. This does not prevent the build of other pages giving details about hd-media, floppy, access and other buildsHowever, I'm far less competent for these...:) So, finally, after correcting the typos, I kept my proposal and just only added a mention that direct links given are for i386 images and other architectures users should replace i386 by the arch name.

kbd-chooser needs testing
Quoting Debian Installer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Accepted: kbd-chooser_0.55.dsc to pool/main/k/kbd-chooser/kbd-chooser_0.55.dsc This new kbd-chooser version incorporates patches for fixing the keyboard handling in Unicode environment. #251550 : the installer seems to freeze when entering high ASCII characters in any debcofn field. As this is a change to an important item of d-i, this needs heavy testing. IMHO, this is probably not ready for tc2 and thus the problem handling high ASCII characters with several keyboard maps should be mentioned in the errata file for tc2, then rc1.

Re: state of d-i sarge: broken
I'm afraid that sid is diverging too far from sarge for it to be easy to keep maintaining sarge (we're at the point of needing relativly untested backports of some packages to be put into sarge to fix bugs), and that nobody is testing sarge's d-i, or paying much attention to it at all. Well, my daily tests are done on sarge_d-i as well as sid_d-i images. However, I can only do these in a VmWare environment with a standard install path which is pretty limitating and may miss some broken things. But, such tests have revealed the debconf priority bug (and a few other people have found it in the same time) so I think we have people paying attention to sarge. Probably not enough because there are so many possible cases(the 2.4/2.6 duality does not help in that matter). Testing on real hardware would be better in such cases, but this requires far more time by burning CD images, for instance.and of course, this also requires hardware. On my side, my testing and l10n activity will probably be more irregular from now up to 4th week of August because of many days away in July...and a full 2 1/2 week away in August.

Prospective work on choose-mirror
Choose-mirror handling of the mirror country list currently has a few drawbacks which may be enhanced: -the Choices list in templates is built from the mirror countries mentioned in Mirrors.masterlist. This file is fetched at build time and the debconf template is then modified on the fly to have the country codes list -as a consequence, an English translation of these country codes is needed to be maintained -as another consequence, as soon as a new country has a Debian mirror it is added to the code listand the translations get outdated -thus, for all languages, choose-mirror suddenylm displays a list of country codes instead of country names This situation is likely to happen as soon as the package is rebuilt after Mirrors.masterlist includes a new country for at least one mirror. It happened a few months ago when the first mirror in Argentina was added. Another effect of this is the need for translating a big bunch of country codes.a work which is already done for iso-codes (used by countrychooser). In order to make all this more simple, I have worked on a new solution: -the template is built on the fly from Mirrors.masterlist -the country names (in English) are grabbed from iso-codes -the translations are also grabbed from iso-codes This will save a lot of work to translators and avoid the situation where a new build outdates all translations. This work consists of -addition of a get-iso-codes script (similar to the one in countrychooser) for getting country names translations -addition of a mktemplates script which builds the new templates file -addition of a intltool-merge (same as countrychooser) which allows for partial translations in Choices lists -a few changes to the sort-countries script -the call for these utilities in debian/rules Up to now, this was done locally on my system. I just commited the two new files to SVN as well as the new sort-countries file as sort-countries.new. The changes have been added to debian/rules, but currently commented. These changes need a very solid review as you all now are aware of the poor quality of scripts I write..:-) So, DO NOT uncomment lines in debian/rules currently. I have put warnings there... -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: state of d-i sarge: broken
Quoting Karl Hegbloom ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Testing on real hardware would be better in such cases, but this requires far more time by burning CD images, for instance.and of course, this also requires hardware. Net-booting d-i works fairly well. But also required some infrastructure...:-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
