Bug#600322: kde-full: There does not seem to be a way of getting kde to rum instead of gnome
Package: kde-full Version: 5:64 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable The title says it all. the kde-base install does not make any attempt to undo the gnome spaghetti so that kdm can run. The Debian soft links and other indirections for the start up of gnome are so baroque that it is almost impossible to unpick. The classical method for the selection of a display manager is the use of a soft link in the /etc/X11/xinit. I think that the Debian implementers have lost the plot here. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kde-full depends on: ii kde-plasma-desktop5:64 the KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal ii kde-plasma-netbook5:64 the KDE Plasma Netbook and minimal ii kdeadmin 4:4.4.5-4 system administration tools from t ii kdeartwork4:4.4.5-1 themes, styles and other artwork f ii kdeedu4:4.4.5-2 educational applications from the ii kdegames 4:4.4.5-1 games from the official KDE releas ii kdegraphics 4:4.4.5-2 graphics applications from the off ii kdemultimedia 4:4.4.5-1 multimedia applications from the o ii kdenetwork4:4.4.5-1 networking applications from the o ii kdepim4:4.4.6-1 Personal Information Management ap ii kdeplasma-addons 4:4.4.5-1 addons for Plasma ii kdeutils 4:4.4.5-1 general-purpose utilities from the Versions of packages kde-full recommends: ii kde-standard 5:64 the KDE Plasma Desktop and standar ii kdeaccessibility 4:4.4.5-1 accessibility packages from the of ii kdesdk4:4.4.5-1 Software Development Kit from the ii kdetoys 4:4.4.5-1 desktop toys from the official KDE ii kdewebdev 4:4.4.5-1 web development apps from the offi Versions of packages kde-full suggests: pn kde-l10n (no description available) pn koffice(no description available) ii xorg 1:7.5+7X.Org X Window System -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#600320: Installation: set password for root; did not create a user; could not login after 1st reboot.
Package: installation-reports Version: 2.42 Severity: serious Tags: d-i Justification: Unknown I was installing "squeeze" over an old version of Ubuntu which had users already set up in /home. I set up the root password but declined to create any [more] users. The install apparently finished OK and then I rebooted. Upon reboot, the system would not let me log in as root so that I could not manually set up /etc/password, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/sudoers. I then had to resort to using the CD in recovery mode to set up the users. If the setup script has not created a user then root should be allowed to log in; otherwise one's laptop is as useful as a bag of slates. I would call myself "experienced"; I am a retired comp-sci academic with *nix experience going back to System VII. I have seen install glitches in my time, but none as stupid as this. In passing, I should mention that on the 6th October, I tried to install squeeze using the network install image (191MB). That got as far as installing a bootstrap system then did not seem to have a script or any instructions to load anything more: thus resulting in another bag of slates. Was that ever tested? -- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: Disc 1 (04-oct-2010) Date: Machine: Gateway Laptop Partitions: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [ ] Detect network card:[ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup:[ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Overall install:[ ] Comments/Problems: -- 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.

Bug#537407: installer: Manual Disc Partitioning
Package: 0 Version: Debian DVDEB50BN_i386-1 Severity: serious File: installer Justification: Requires experience and lateral thinking to circumvent 1. With systems with a shrunk NTFS partion (/dev/sda1) one goes through the partioning dialog to set up a root partition (/dev/sda5), a swap partition (/dev/sda6), a home partition (/dev/sad7) and a spare partition (/dev/sda8) and then commits the configuration to disc, the installer refuses to format the root partition and the installation is aborted. This was tried first with ReiserFS and then with Ext3. The only workaround was to buy a second disc configured as /dev/sda and the original disc /dev/sdb. The installer worked fine on a "clean" disc with a couple of empty partitions. That occurred on this machine (about 4 months ago). 2. A week ago, I tried to install Debian (Lenny) on a Toshiba Laptop over an old version of Kubuntu with existing home and spare partitions with the same frustrating results. This time, I replaced the old disc with a virgin new disc (Western Digital Scorpio 120GB). Using the manual layout option I was unable to create any partions on it. Workaround: invoke the "root plus home" auto option, commit to disc and then abort the installation. The installation was then repeated and then I was able to edit the created partitions manually and the installation was completed normally. 3. This is not really slick!
