Please CC me if anybody has any answers.

For reasons beyond my comprehension, whenever I try traceroute, it
uses the singapore route and doesn't use any other route :(

FWIW, I am getting the same error code as somebody shared on askubuntu
[1] although this is debian. Previously it usually got fixed by itself
in few hours but seems something is broken probably at Singapore end.
I have seen this more than couple of times.

Here's the output I am sharing via traceroute -

Bug#917824: possible to have debian buster alpha iso's with non-free firmwares

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: debian-cd
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
Would it be possible to have debian buster alpha iso's with non-free firmware.
I did see https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/buster_di_alpha4/amd64/iso-cd/

But it arguably would be better if we also have the alpha CD's with
non-free firmwar.e

It doesn't make sense especially if there are no wireless drivers
(broadcom etc.) and people have to hunt for them and the dependency
hell.

It would be especially useful if it was netinst.iso itself so we would
have something minimum to connect with the mirrors otherwise you are
stuck to trying an ethernet line, connector to connect with the web,
try to download the driver packages and any dependency hell in case
something is/was needed and is not there in the .iso.

Bug#916687: +1 to this request

[shirish शिरीष]

Dear all,

I would add my +1 to this request from Praveen.  Although preferably
also with non-free (for non-free firmware/drivers)  as well.

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/9.6.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-9.6.0-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso

As an example. They could probably be called
debian-testing-amd64-mate-171218+nonfree.iso if taken today's date in
a dd/mm/yy format.

Bug#846006: debian-cd: please provide flavor/spin netinst image for Debian Edu

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,

Sorry for jumping in. Just a small voice. While I haven't tried the
latest netinstall but my experience in alpha 2 was that I had to run
it couple of times before it was able to do the needful. I do not know
the reason for it other than the fact that net connectivity at my end
goes down sometime.

https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2018/07/28/broadband-issues-and-reliance-jio/

The whole idea of netinstall at least for me is and was a progressive
installer. Just having the base image should be enough to have a
console and a sources.list which has

  Debian buster #
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main

as the default.

I removed contrib and non-free (for firmware related packages) and
have a base for people to use from start. Also maybe have a different
desktop then LXDE (mate being preferred) but dunno if this can be
achieved. If there is a way to workaround so that it doesn't download
LXDE and downloads mate-desktop and at the very least gives me a
console and apt would be pretty satisfying. I know this is bit
different than Debian Edu goals (lxde being preferred for low-memory
usage) .

If needed can make another bug report but would like to hear what
other people think before putting the bug against debian-cd if it's a
worthwhile pursuit.

I had been a bit busy at my end and at the same time didn't really
have the time
to go and get a usb stick for playing around. Most of the usb sticks
have something
or the other which I don't want to remove/discard the contents even by
backing up as
usb sticks tend to be 'moody' especially since Triple-level cells are finicky

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_cell#Triple-level_cell

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#Write_endurance

In response For the previous question, I tried both the ways, first
the 'DD mode' athough
was a bit circumspect as had heard (hearsay) that the unix dd has some
memory leak but that's outside the main story.

FWIW, I had run the binary in 'DD mode' and when it gave up with some
error I couldn't figure out, I tried out usb mode and even there was
out of luck.

Again FWIW, I do have a loaned .iso image to test out the issue.  I
probably would be able to play with it  probably on the week-end or
later.  I would try to get as much details as possible to see if the
issue still persists and if yes, would also CC Pete (the developer of
Rufus) so maybe he can help out as well.

Again, sorry for not answering earlier.

Dear Rick,

As Steve shared there is that . If you are looking at stable model
then you are in luck as

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/
which I guess Steve was talking about earlier.

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-9.4.0-amd64-mate.iso
would have been perfect if I were chasing a stable release .

There used to be an interesting service when debian-live was an
unofficial project (third-party) where one could put a list of all the
softwares needed and after few minutes to an hour you would get a
customized iso image which could be downloadable for a day.

There are and were multiple problems with that scenario as sometimes I
got packages from unstable or even testing which were buggy and had RC
(release-critical) bugs filed against them which means those packages
should not have been allowed to come on the live-cd in the first
place. Also just a single person was a maintainer so support was an
issue.

>From what little I know even the new debian-live to offer a similar
service with more hardened tools and checks but needs heads and hands
to provide a similar service.

There is also debian's own automated installation routine involving
preseeding as well -

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apb.html

an example preseed.txt file

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/example-preseed.txt

The preseed way looks to be more easy and simpler than the scripts
that Steve shares. I for instance, wouldn't know which lines to touch
and which not to in order to get a customized mate-debian-alpha 2
.iso.

Maybe if it had a nice UI rather than a gitlab instance or just the
documentation it would have been fruitful but that again need people
power who are willing to do the needful.

Dear Steve,

I actually tried in both but neither worked in Rufus. I'm going to get
couple of usb sticks to get to the bottom of this mess.

Is it one and the same from  -

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/buster_di_alpha2/amd64/iso-cd/debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso

or somewhere different.

correction it was rufus who was trying to put in tools, not unetbootin.

I tried rufus both in iso mode as well as dd mode without any success at all.

That might be correct.

Dear Thomas,

In response to https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2018/03/msg5.html

Thank you for sharing the info. I probably will try to get a couple of
usb sticks next week for work and probably will also try to see how
rufus responds and if possible get in touch with Pete Batard to take
the discussion forward.

I found it pretty disconcerting especially for students or for that
matter anybody who wants
to take the plunge into Debian and get stuck like that.

I also perhaps failed to mention that rufus tried to install syslinux
instead of grub2 which at least to me feels more convenient and
friendly but that's a discussion outside of this purview.

During a discussion with Steve Mcntyre during debconf 2016, he had
shared about both the unrealiability of the usb drives themselves as
well as the data so now always use shasums to make sure the data
stream is correct.

This https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb I had already done
before. I used the built-in
certutil and Get-FileHash on MS-Windows powershell to make sure the
sum was correct.

Now that I'm on Debian GNU/Linux did as I had copied the same on one
of my usb disks, the .iso image which I just transferred to the hdd.

shirish@debian:~/games$ ./check_debian_iso SHA1SUMS
debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso
Piping 331776 blocks of 'debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso'
through 'sha1sum'
to verify checksum list item 'debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso'.
331776+0 records in
331776+0 records out
679477248 bytes (679 MB, 648 MiB) copied, 1.35603 s, 501 MB/s
Ok: 'debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso' matches
'debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso' in 'SHA1SUMS'

although trying to do the same with /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 results in -

shirish@debian:~/games$ ./check_debian_iso SHA1SUMS
debian-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso /dev/sdb
Does not look like an ISO 9660 filesystem: '/dev/sdb' magic='  '

That's the usb key/thumb drive on which debian iso image is done by unetbootin.

Although it appears to have worked though as was able to get a working
Debian GNU/Linux system at the end, was able to get updates, get the
net working and so on and so forth.

FTR, I could have used cp or dd but that would have been only if I had
taken my lappy that day. It should not be a requirement that we should
have a debian laptop because in real-world scenarios many people not
might have access to an installation nor should they require one,
although do agree it's handy if it's there.

Just read Thomas's reply on the debian-cd mailing list specifically
https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2018/03/msg3.html . Please CC
me in further correspondence in this regard as I'm not subscribed to
the list .

FWIW and FTR I did try the rufus 'dd' for all three iso images and it
failed spectacularly.

Unfortunately, I did not copy the logs of the ones which failed and
the one run which succeeded. I could retry it again on the weekend
when I have bit more of time and share the logs but as shared before,
the logs were cryptic. It didn't tell the reason why the dd to usb
failed . I also failed to see if there is a more verbose flag or
method which I could use. to have some idea as to why a failure
occurred in the first place. It only has single run logs and no
persistent logging across runs as we are used to in Debian for most of
our work.

To be precise by a single run I mean by a cycle of attempting to copy
or dd an iso image from hdd to the usb disk using software. And I did
try multiple runs (2-3 times at least)  of formatting the usb disk
(not quick format) and running the same operations with the same
result.

I also researched a bit of the flash drive itself later after I came
back both in MS-Windows space as well as using Debian to see if the
flash drive is true or not. It turned out it was true, although was a
TLC .

Using Chip genius -


Description: USB Mass Storage Device(Kingston DataTraveler 3.0)
Device Type: Mass Storage Device

Protocal Version: USB 3.10
Current Speed: High Speed
Max Current: 504mA

USB Device ID: VID = 0951 PID = 1666
Serial Number: 

Device Vendor: Kingston
Device Name: DataTraveler 3.0
Device Revision: 0110

Manufacturer: Kingston
Product Model: DataTraveler 3.0
Product Revision: PMAP

Controller Vendor: Phison
Controller Part-Number: PS2251-07(PS2307) - F/W 08.01.50 [2017-01-17]
Flash ID code: AD3A1803 - Hynix [TLC]

The only thing I have hid is the serial number as it's of no
consequence. I purchased the usb stick from a reputed vendor from whom
I have purchased IT equipment over the years without complaints. Did
find out it's a TLC chip
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_cell#Triple-level_cell but
that shouldn't be a factor as I had bought it just before going on the
road.

We should have a similar utility in Debian to find out flash
internals. I don't know of any which does the same .

http://www.usbdev.ru/files/chipgenius/ unfortunately the page is in Russian.

While trawling also discovered this oldish article
https://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/chip-genius-the-good-and-the-bad-about-this-software-in-identify-flash-memory-chips-and-repairing-fake-hacked-memory-how-useful-is-chipgenius/

And also read that transcend doesn't share internal chip details
unlike other vendors.

Hope it throws a bit more light.

Btw, can anybody share the unetbootin issues as I have no clue where
to search for unetbootin issues with Debian. Quite a few of my
friednds and colleagues use it to make Debian images over the years
without an issue.

Look forward to know more.

Dear Steve,

There has been quite a few things happening at my end hence wasn't
able to reply before today, so sorry for that.

I had been asked to share some of Debian newness recently.  Because I
was on the road and didn't have my trusty lappy with me, had to use
window machines, download the daily, weekly and thankfully the last
alpha2 xfce build.

As I was on MS-Windows had to resort to using a variety of softwares
trying out rufus and other softwares. For some reason, other than
unetbootin none of the others worked. But this was also only limited
to the alpha build, the others just didn't even copy either using
rufus or using unetbootin. Dunno the reason for that. Most of the logs
were cryptic in nature so couldn't come to any specific result. The
only thing I was able to figure out that somehow the boot loader was
corrupted during the copy.

I was also stuck by the warning debian usb stick told me while I was
trying to install saying unetbootin is not a good tool to make a usb
stick.  Perhaps a hyperlink would have been better than just saying
its in installation instructions.

While installing the alpha build, two things became apparent, one
while there is support for https protocol, there doesn't seem to be
any mirrors which support that or I couldn't find them and I tried a
few, although finding https mirrors should perhaps be more automated,
dunno.

Lastly, would it be possible to have a mate-desktop CD apart from the
xfce one. While choice of desktop environment is certainly a personal
choice,  I feel it's a good lightweight yet at the same time fully
functional desktop environment. It isn't bloated as GNOME has become
but still tries to be true to the gtk+ philosophy.

Also is buster alpha 3 on the horizon anywhere or what constraints or
issues that need to be resolved before an alpha 3 can be a reality ?

Looking forward to know more.

I  realized just after sending that email that the images
it was sharing
were old jessie testing ones and weird (CD1+CD2) which kinda makes it
hard to do all that back-checking.

>From https://wiki.debian.org/DebianJessie  it seems couple of months
before Jessie installer beta 1 arrived.

Actually what I had wanted to ask/post the query is that we somehow
miss the bus of getting the releases to meta-search engines such as
torrentz.eu

See for e.g. https://torrentz2.eu/search?f=%27debian-9.3.0-amd64%27

and see the results that have cropped up. I was hoping that it would
show the CD releases as well as the DVD releases and net install.  As
can be seen while it shows the DVD image and the netinstall images,
but for unknown reasons officially CD images seems to have gone the
way of dodo

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/

Maybe because CD-1 has become too big that it can't anymore fit lxde
or something for base-install + desktop environment. I did scour the
archives for last 2-3 months but wasn't able to get anything about why
they were dropped although it probably is due to the space issue I
have mentioned above.

Are there any hopes of the CD images being revived in the future or
that's sort of gone forever ?

FWIW I do still queries from students and the only thing I can give
them is the dvd-iso image link as net-install image can be problematic
as I found out when testing.

Look forward to comments.

magnet links and pushing them to meta-search engines.

Dear Friends,

>From the last few days/week I have been poking around torrent
meta-search engines, While looking through, I noticed that the
sometimes (not all the times) there have been occasions where the
hashes have told to be a virus.

Most recent example is
https://torrentz2.eu/1193adc8d620b0e35ddcd7932f2d07f2992140c0

As can be seen down below in the link, it has been labelled as a virus
which may or may not be true.

I dunno whom to approach, the page in question on Debian side

See  https://torrentz2.eu/1193adc8d620b0e35ddcd7932f2d07f2992140c0 as an e.g.

Well, you got my vote for the same as I also use .jigdo from time to time.

In short, this alone use-case answers Steve's original question which
was primarily are there any users who use or would use this tool or
his time would be better spent somewhere else. I think just the above
use-case and number of users answers the need for a tool like
live-wrapper. As has been pointed out by me and others, it just needs
more testing (documentation and love by devs.) to drive more usage
forwards.

One of the things at least to my mind is we (the users) do not know
which is most closest testing release  near to the final release. For
e.g.  take the last/latest announcement done by Cyril Brulebois on
13th June talking about the Stretch RC5 release. In the whole
announcement, there is not even a hint to potential testers that this
might be the closest to the final released (gold) image. I am
presuming/assuming that Cyril was also talking about the live image
and not the just the installer improvements.

What would be nicer/better perhaps if debian-live does announcements
on d-d-a  and more importantly hint as when it's going to be nearer to
release (final image).

We are going to have a release party this week-end in Pune (haven't
posted the details yet at https://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyStretch
, hoping the organizers will do the needful otherwise will do it in a
day or two.

I/we could also have testing parties before the release as well with a
two-week window to the final image . This also gives times to students
to see how things work in the real world as well.

I can't volunteer for any activities atm (due to health issues) except
for taking part in organising testing party in Pune before release and
getting more people to file bugs in case they hit problems.

I am hopeful we can find a better way/solution to the above.

Bug#861288: debian-cd: please add reportbug to netinstall and cd iso

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.19
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
Please see the discussion at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2017/04/msg00305.html and
further.

As seen from 
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/list-cd/debian-8.7.1-amd64-CD-1.list.gz
and trying with zless found that neither reportbug nor
python-reportbug/python3-reportbug(stretch) is either in netinstall or
in CD iso.

 There is a valid corner case where you are installing and there is
either no or very little net access and you need reportbug to know in
case an installation goes south. Having it in both netinstall and CD
iso images would make sure that there is at least an installation
report there on the usb disk/thumbdrive.

Looking forward to see reportbug and python3-reportbug on netinstall
and CD. Having a look at packages.d.o I saw that the two packages
together are less than 300 kb in compressed format. Also the depends
is mostly each other and python/3.

Please let me know if any more information is needed from my end.

Dear Thomas,

Would it be possible to upload the image to someplace where the OP
could download and use it and see if that works for him.

Dear Charles,

While only the experts can help you out, I would suggest to use
sha1sum or sha224sum instead of md5sum when trying to check signatures
of the image you downloaded.

The second thing, although not exactly relevant to your situation is,
i586 support was taken out about a year ago -

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/05/msg1.html

But as can be seen this is for stretch and beyond. With jessie you
shouldn't have problems.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linux shows that the release you are
using should not effect you.

I do agree with OP that security updates are sometimes late or

Hi all,
As a newbie, I do remember the confusion and had to ask people on the
#debian channel and then also was not sure so downloaded the 1st DVD
to get the installer working. It should make it easier to understand
as what is needed/essential.

 Those are regular install images, not live images. I don't want to tell

 Apologies, we've not yet got regular builds of live images for jessie

 There used to be regular builds at http://live.debian.net/, but I'm

Hi all,
Have added debian-live to the discussion because they are the right
people to take this up with.

@Abhishek - You should have shared the exact error that throws up or
describe the error a bit more so that we could report it and ask the
debian-live team to fix it.

Daniel Baumann is/used to work quite a bit with debian-live few
months/year ago so it's possible he might be also able to help us with
this. While I'm sure he gets debian-live mails it works for all of us
to have his wisdom and guidance as well.

 Hi,

 We are testing laptops for h-node project and we wanted to try debian
 jessie. But prebuilt images are not available. I tried building it using
 live build, but I can only get command line version. I added
 task-gnome-desktop to config/package-lists/my.list.chroot without any
 effect.

 gnewsense has an older kernel and trisquel live cd has problems booting
 in. So being able to test with jessie would be nice.

 Can this be done?

 Not sure why you'd want to go for third world countries, but let's look
 at Germany (Aldi is one of the two biggest discounters here):
 http://www.presseportal.de/pm/112096/2653870/aldi-senkt-preise-fuer-fischprodukte-oel-und-smoothies
 CD-R Rohlinge (80 Minuten, je 50er Spindel) 5,99 Euro
 DVD+R Rohlinge (je 20er Spindel)3,99 Euro
 That is 0.12 EUR per CDR and 0.20 EUR per DVD.

 DVD readers/writers are cheaper now than CD readers/writers ever were.
 I don't think it makes sense to ask for the price of one media (which is
 in Cents), but then assume that the extra cost for a new DVD reader is
 negligible.

   Thomas

Hi all,
As an interested user I come from India and at least here there isn't
a difference at all in terms of a CD or DVD media. A single of both
costs Rs. 20/- (with the plastic case and all) and going to some of
the wholesalers we can get it for Rs. 7/- or Rs. 8/-  (in a spindle or
a box) . The price might differ between the two by a Rupee or two
(it's been quite some time since I went to buy blank DVD's) but the
space equation is such that I never buy a CD.

I do remember a distinct conversation where I asked him if he ever got
orders for CD with the vendor replying that mostly he gets order CD's
from villages rather than from city/town itself. Still the ratio was
80  20 in favor of DVD's.

I know it's not at all scientific and is probably a strawman argument
but that's the way I see it here. Almost nobody I know within my
circle talks about CD and I do not just work with the elite in the
city.

Re: Installation of Debian-Testing-AMD64, DVD and Netinst, Fails on ASUS Eeepc 1215B

 Hello Stefano:

 Today I tried to install from:

 /cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20140610-7/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

 It gives the same result as the 5-30-2014 and 6-9-2014 weekly builds.
 Installer proceeds as expected until Detecting Network Hardware, where
 the progress bar completes very quickly and goes away, leaving the
 normal blue screen with white bar at the bottom, and no further
 execution of the installer.

 I tried Control-C. The screen goes black for a very short time, then
 returns to the normal blue screen with white bar at bottom, then the
 Detecting Network Hardware progress bar appears again for a very short
 time, followed blue screen with white bar at bottom, and no further
 execution of the installer.

 My Eee PC 1215b laptop computer uses a 10/100 Ethernet Atheros
 AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20). Is that
 currently supported?

 My computer also uses AMD® Radeon HD 6250/AMD® Radeon HD 6310 graphics.
 Some Debian Squeeze distributions did not work well with the graphics.
 Wheezy works very well with the graphics. Is that currently supported in
 Jessie?

 Please excuse my ignorance. How can I escape from the installer to a
 prompt where I can  collect the installer log with lspci -vv ?

 Thank you for helping.

 --Marc

Dear Marc,
While it has been sometime since I played with an installer CD, as far
as I remember the way to do it was to do CTRL+ALT+Fnx (between 1-3) .

After that see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/AsSshClient and
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s04.html

 Is it enough to download the following iso cd image for my purpose..
 http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-i386-lxde-CD-1.iso

 thank you,

Dear Mohan,
What you have shared is good enough. It's a 32-bit LXDE environment
based Debian CD which is good if you have less than 4 GB of RAM .

On the other hand if you have 4 GB or more RAM then could think of the
64-bit image as well.

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-amd64-lxde-CD-1.iso

Choice is yours. Make sure to use some sort of download manager in
case the connection breaks, you can start of from where you left.

Till l8er.

 Hello.

Hello Anibal,

 Sorry for my english, I don't speak/write it very well.
 I'm trying install debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso, but I can't select
 Gnome option because is empty and the default option is with XFCE.
 Can you help me please?

 I have tried with:
 debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
 debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso
 debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso

 and always the Gnome option is empty.

While I'm not a member of the Debian-CD team as far as the netinstall
and CD are concerned, GNOME is too big to fit in either of them.

In fact you can read from the mailing list about lot of discussion
which went back and forth, see from
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/05/msg00550.html onwards.

I do find strange the Debian DVD-1 does not give you a GNOME option
though. While I haven't installed from a testing DVD, the list shows
gnome-shell and other things so you could have both GNOME - Flashback,
GNOME Classic as well as GNOME-shell all existing at one place.

Are these the links from where the DVD images were downloaded.

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/

Whichever image you downloaded, did you check its SHA1sum ?

an e.g. :-

$ sha1sum debian-live-7.4-amd64-gnome-desktop+nonfree.iso
c7d2909411f6b2eab7b3866c44053c4a8c683bcd
debian-live-7.4-amd64-gnome-desktop+nonfree.iso


I checked the list of the contents and it seems there are no issues
with GNOME :-

Found the list from here :-

Bug#740504: Any update on having an upgraded xorriso so we don't have GPT failures ?

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
Just saw this bug. I am supposed to get a few desktop machines which
would have the newer GPT (GUID Partition Table) rather than MBR.

I am also a bit curious to know how the information regarding which
versions of software were used to create the .ISO . It seems this
info. is embedded in the .iso generated but there doesn't seem to be
any answers.  At least according to the mail shared on the mailing
list :-

https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-cd@lists.debian.org/msg21403.html

I did look at the FAQ about debian-CD but was unable to come up with
any answers for the same.

https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/

I have seen that sometimes the CD/DVD burning tool does give some
info. I also looked at mediainfo for e.g. if it will give any more
info. but didn't get anywhere.

$ mediainfo debian-7.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
General
Complete name:  debian-7.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
Format  :  ISO 9660
File size:  3.68 GiB

Looking forward to know more.

Hi Chris,
A user here. I *think* it's documented somewhere (maybe read in a FAQ)
that only the first 3 DVD's can be had via http. I *think* the reasons
are that only a few number of people would download the whole repo. as
it wouldn't make sense as that snapshot remains good for only 3 months
or so before a new point update comes out.

Having said, if you want all the other dvd's

See http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.2.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

As per that list, there are only 10 DVD's for release  and 1 update DVD.

Good luck with downloading the rest.

when is the debian 7.2 releases would be updated in cdimage.debian.org

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
I just caught the news :-

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/
http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20131012?utm_campaign=debian-newsutm_source=twitterfeedutm_medium=facebook

but the cdimage.debian.org still shows the 7.1 release.

I am especially interested in the jigdo version.

http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

It still shows up as

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.1.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

which is the 7.1 version.

Just putting :-

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.2.0/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

gives a 404.

I know it's a week-end which is perfect, hence asking for some sort of
heads-up as to when I can use jigdo to sync up with the changes in
stable.

Hi all,
@peter I don't get why you used the header option for downloading. The
manpage says something about it but it's above me.

--header=header-line
   Send header-line along with the rest of the headers in each
HTTP request.  The supplied header is sent  as-is, which means it must
contain name and value separated by colon, and must not contain
newlines.

   You may define more than one additional header by
specifying --header more than once.

   wget --header='Accept-Charset: iso-8859-2' \
   --header='Accept-Language: hr'\
  http://fly.srk.fer.hr/

   Specification of an empty string as the header value will
clear all previous user-defined headers.

   As of Wget 1.10, this option can be used to override
headers otherwise generated automatically.  This example instructs
Wget to connect to localhost, but to specify foo.bar in the Host
header:

   wget --header=Host: foo.bar http://localhost/

   In versions of Wget prior to 1.10 such use of --header
caused sending of duplicate headers.

 However, I notice your download rate is quite small, so I wouldn't rule
 out varnish or something else killing your connection if it takes a long
 time.

 That resuming a download does not work might also be a concern that
 warrants further investigation.

what's varnish ? I am also curious to know why it doesn't resume.
Looking at the manpage and tried to see if I have a local ~/.wgetrc
(and I don't). Then I looked at /etc/wgetrc

 Unfortunately, neither the Release nor CD teams can do anything about
 issues between your systems and snapshot.debian.org.  You might try
 contacting the administrators of that service, although I'd suggest
 trying to download the package from an alternative location first to
 rule out any issues with your own connectivity.


 I don't know any other alternative location, can you recommend one ?


 I meant running the download from another location, not trying to download
 the file /from/ another location.  So anywhere other than wherever the
 download quoted above was performed (i.e. to try to determine if there's a
 more general issue with connectivity to the snapshot systems).

 Regards,

 Adam

o.k. I would have to take a rain check on that (if I understand
correctly) but I did try another one on the same location just for
testing purposes and came back with the same result.

stuck at one file in the download.

In fact the download on this isn't smooth in anyway . Here's what I

Any hints or suggestions are most welcome.

as can be seen I have already filed a bug for it bug #663638 . I was
unsure if it should be filed against debian-cd virtual package or
ftp.debian.org the virtual package but in the end filed it against
debian-cd. May the powers that be re-categorize it if its not in the

Bug#658352: 4k Advanced format

 Hi,

Getting a little sideways here :-

 I am clueless enough to look into wikipedia about GUID Partition Table.
 The is room for a Protective MBR of 512 bytes.
 So somebody would need to teach me how to announce the range of the
 ISO image and the range of the FAT partition in a GPT.

 Further one would have to discuss with Vladimir Serbinenko at grub-devel
 about the layout of the first 32 kB of the ISO image, where MBR, GPT,
 and GRUB2 code have to reside side-by-side.

I am curious to know how easy it is (or not) to have the newish
Advanced format [1] support in Debian-installer [2], as well as the
ext* filesystems [3]. I remember a story about it which came in
osnews[4] long-time back (around 1.5 years +) but do not really know
how relevant they are or not atm. I am asking as from what i read
alongwith the above at the very least the perception is most of the
changes being done are to take care of growth for the next 20 + years.
 I also saw discussions on the linux kernel page [5] but that wiki
page is not current with the linux 3.x kernels. I did however spot an
article on lwn.net [6] .

Sadly there is no wiki entry about 'Advanced Format' on the Debian
wiki. It would be nice if somebody has some updated instructions for
it somewhere.

 Finally one would have to explore the chances to get Debian bootable
 ISO images onto GRUB2 rather than ISOLINUX.

 Then one would develop a friendly fork of grub-mkrescue as proof-of-concept
 of the various bootabilities in one single ISO image:
 - amd64 BIOS from CD
 - amd64 BISO from USB stick
 - amd64 UEFI from CD
 - amd64 UEFI from USB stick
 For this we'd need to enhance xorriso by GPT production.


 Alternatively one could find out how far SYSLINUX is with UEFI support.

 Or whether a ISOLINUX BIOS setup can be combined with a GRUB setup
 in a FAT partition. (ISOLINUX occupies no space in the first 32 kB of
 the image. So the GPT would have room there.)

 I assume this would be easier to integrate into the existing Debian
 image production.


 Have a nice day :)

no jigdo update for weekly testing DVDs ?

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
I have been trying to get the weekly DVD via jigdo for some reason
there seems to be no update :-

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

As can be seen the last image seems to have been 16th January and
nothing after that.

I do know that there is planning to 6.0.4 release
http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2012/01/msg00015.html but don't know
if that has anything to do with that.

Hi all,
  Is it possible to make jigdo images out of the Debian-Live CD/DVD's

I tried to search the Debian wiki [3] as well the debian-live website
[4] for answers but came up none the wiser.

 Hi,

 I'm reading through your handy FAQ on image files:
 http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/

 I'm currently in the process of making a Debian Live USB. However the
 only way I have found to to this is by using a program in W7 called
 ImageWriter that I obtained from the openSUSE team. It seems your FAQ
 (as well as that for many other distros currently) explains how to
 burn these images to optical media only, and neglects to embrace the
 USB method.

 Is there a section on your FAQ that I am missing? How do I write the
 ISO to USB in Linux? K3B, Brasero, etc all explicitly use blank CD/DVD
 media.
 What's more, UNetBootin fails to boot for most ISOs (accepting Ubuntu
 and Mint for some reason), and the images must be written directly to
 disk.

 Your website would be making a step ahead if you were to add USB
 install instructions to your FAQ.

 Thanks

dryphi,
 I hear you. There are some instructions I had found sometime ago at
live.debian.net . Perhaps they would be instructional for you as well.
Check out.

http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/live-manual.html#181

you will need a hybrid iso image.

 The number (150/160) will be the number of source packages
 updated. The number you're seeing and reporting will be the number of
 binary packages. By my count, across all architectures and source
 there were 8109 updated files in the pool. That's counting the files
 in the diff that I use for generating the update CDs/DVDs.

Dear Steve,
 First of all thank you for your quick and articulate reply.  The
geek/curious in me likes to know such things ;)

Another thing to note is I removed the CC to other lists as my reply
might just be additional noise which they might not be interested in.

One has to keep in mind, that this has made sure that the weekly
images aren't there on time. See for instance
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

The last image is still reflecting the one done on 20th June ,

 Correct. When I'm working on a (point) release, I disable the daily
 and weekly builds so as not to cause confusion or congestion on the
 build machine.

umm. when can we expect the weekly builds to be back on ?

No news release of the Debian point release 6.0.2.1 ?

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
As per my understanding, the Debian project got a point release
6.0.2.1 . The last time around when Debian release 6.0.1 was released
there was a press/mail release by the deban-cd or/and debian project
team . This time while there was a mail of a day before nothing about
the release anywhere.

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.2.1/

 Dear Debian-cd-team,

 I just installed debian/testing from scratch. For this, I am using debian-
 multiarch/testing-dvd.

 Everything worked fine, but when I wanted to upgrade from the net, it could 
 not
 install the packages, as awk was missing. awk is not installed by default (I
 choose the profile, what most users might use: base, graphical desktop and
 laptop). Installing package gawk fixed the problem, not a big thing.

 But maybe, you might want to add awk into the default installation list?

 Everything else went fine. However, I still found no way, to mount encrypted
 partitions (in my case it is /home, /usr and /var) during the installation
 process and keep them.

 Also, if I mount a partition and want to keep files, the installer routine is
 stopping and prohibits to go on (but that thing might be a knowledge problem,
 as I need to install debian sooo seldom. It is just running. :)  )

 However, these things will not needed by many people, maybe only by me, and of
 course.

 Generally I like the installer if you d o not need special things like me (and
 most people won't!), then debian is really(!) easy to install! Great work!

 Thank you very much for it!

I do not know about the specific use-case as I'm on a desktop and
yours seem to be a laptop and multiarch issue.

Anyways, awk is not a real package

 A disk has failed in the build machine. As soon as it's replaced I'll
 be triggering a build run,

Thank you for updating me. Please ping me/reply when the above is
done. I would be of course be checking in a day or two.

 Just built the first two weekly DVDs (and some CDs) for amd64 and i386
 using rsync/jigdo without any problem. Thank you, Steve and the rest of
 the team, for keeping Debian moving forward.


Don,
 The question was not of if the new .jigdo file and .template file
work or not. I'm sure they work perfectly. What I want to do or was
lead to believe is that using the old .iso and making a new
.iso . I came up with this while doing it again.

Will not reuse existing temporary file
`debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso.tmp' - it corresponds to a different
image/template.
/usr/bin/jigdo-file make-image: Delete/rename the file or use --force
jigdo-file failed with code 3 - aborting.

Have removed everything in that directory and just mounting the old
week's .iso to /mnt/jigdo and then asking it to merge stuff from there
and the new one.

Will know in few minutes.

Is the weekly AMD 64 bit DVD's jigdo template wrong ?

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
 I was trying to download the 64-bit DVD using jigdo . I had the
last weeklies .iso which I had also downloaded through jigdo and using
that as a base was using jigdo so it would download the diffs. I got
some errors while I was downloading, the errors for 15 files was the
same.

Error: 
`debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso.tmpdir/www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/java-common/default-jre_1.6-40_amd64.deb'
does not match checksum in template data

As can be seen above, apart from the filenames all the 15 had the same issue.

Then I used rsync and it seems to have given proper stuff. Please see :-

$ rsync --progress

 Apologies, I've been working on the CD/DVD generating scripts for the
 last few days to add new features and this broke today's jigdo files
 for i386 and amd64. I've identified a fix and I'm about to rebuild.

No apologies needed Steve. It was enough to know that 'I' or my
methodology was not incorrect. Also it did give an insight on jigdo
error messages which I'm guessing may be pretty rare.

Just let me and the list know whenever the new template is up and
running, will try it again :)

Do see that debian needs to be way better in web usability so anything
you are doing which would eventually make it easier, faster and better
looking in the long-run is good, such breakages I'm guessing are bound
to occur .

Anyways, we are in the 'testing' phase for Squeeze. :P so we can
tolerate breakages now rather than when it hits gold/stable etc.

no weekly amd64 (jigdo) DVD's seen on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi there,
I was looking at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
and was looking at amd64 builds via jigdo but couldn't see there.

Looking for the same at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/jigdo-dvd/
revealed that there are indeed weekly builds of AMD64 builds .

If they are good, then why isn't that link on the devel-installer homepage ?

Looking forward to know more.

Thank you in advance.

 Perhaps this just happened, but looking at the middle of that page I
 find  (trimmed for clarity):

Or install the current weekly snapshot of Debian testing which uses
 the same version of the installer as the last release:

    * full CD/DVD sets
          ... 
    * full CD/DVD sets (via bittorrent)    ... 
      CD:      [amd64][i386]
    * full CD/DVD/Blu-ray sets (via jigdo)    Big Flashing Arrow Here
      CD:      [amd64]    ... 
      DVD:     [amd64]    ... 
      BD:      [amd64][i386][source]

 Is that what you were looking for?

My bad. It seems the links shift up a bit in bigger sized fonts. I saw
that the amd64 builds are indeed the first ones, its just the way they
look on my browser with my settings which screwed up the whole thing.
Haven't fixed it yet (at my end), but now I know.

 Rsync is no weird tool. You can use it just like cp:

  cp /somepath/filename .

  rsync /somepath/filename .

 Just the same. Try it. Don't get alarmed by the multitude of options in the
 examples...

 Now the nice thing of rsync is that it can copy from a remote server, that's
 just:

  rsync servername::somepath/filename .

 To find out what a server is offering, say ftp.tw.debian.org, use rsync
 -vn. That's mostly like ls -al:

  rsync -vn ftp.tw.debian.org::

 So it's offering debian-cd. Let's get a quick listing:

  rsync -vn ftp.tw.debian.org::debian-cd

 There's no weekly-builds dir there, so this is the wrong entrance.

  rsync -vn ftp.tw.debian.org::pub
  rsync -vn ftp.tw.debian.org::debian

 Well, it seems they're just not offering the weekly-builds via rsync. This
 happens often.

 The main host, cdimage.debian.org, does have them available:

  rsync -vn cdimage.debian.org::
  rsync -vn cdimage.debian.org::debian-cd     - nope
  rsync -vn cdimage.debian.org::cdimage       - aha!
  rsync -vn cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/     - mind the /
  rsync -vn cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/
  rsync -vn cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/

 There it is!

 Now you would just do:

  rsync
 cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
 .

 but this is where the options become useful:

  rsync --times --partial --verbose --block-size=8192
 cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
 .

 and personally I like --progress when running interactively.
 Don't use --compress, everything in the DVD image is already compressed.
 And the other options you quote are mostly for full-archive copying, so not
 useful in this case.


Hi Anne,
Wow that is some useful info. there. I have to confess I didn't know
about compress isn't needed in my case. Some other genteman off-list
shared a command which I'm using now to download (for the first time).
 This is what I'm using now :-

$ rsync -aHPv --block-size=8192
cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
.
MOTD: Welcome to the rsync archive at Academic Computer Club, Ume\#345
University.

receiving file list ...
1 file to consider
debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
   986342247  21%   10.75kB/s   95:42:32  ^C
rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at
rsync.c(543) [generator=3.0.7]

 So, continuing from the other thread on debian-user:

 Rsync doesn't display an update while it's checking your local file, but
 after that, if you use --progress, it will say how the download is going.

 Rsync will download to a temporary filename starting with a dot (.name). It
 will rename the file to the correct name once it's finished and correct.
 _If_ you press Ctrl-C while rsync is downloading, _and_ you used --partial,
 both the original file and the temporary half-file are kept (though mind
 the filenames!). To continue: cat half-download  originalfile, mind the
 filenames again, and just restart the same rsync command.

 Note in case you wondered: rsync will speed up the download by using blocks
 of the file it already has, but this works _only_ if there is a file with
 the exact same name in the directory you're downloading to (i.e. you will
 overwrite that file). If you want to keep the old version of the file you're
 updating, make a copy to a different filename before you start rsync.

Ok, also I don't know about how you used the 'cat command to continue
the download' and it does sound complicated as you are saying so.

This is what I have done. I have made a specific directory for the
download. In my case its /home/shirish/beta2rsync which only has the
file download happening.

What I have been doing is re-running the same command

$ rsync -aHPv --block-size=8192
cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
.

whenever I want to end the session I use the CTRL+C  and when I want
to start-up again, re-run the same command i.e.

$ rsync -aHPv --block-size=8192
cdimage.debian.org::cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso
.

And as you have rightfully said, it sees what's there already and then
downloads the remaining part.

The real fun should start next week when there will be a new release
and I want to see how it would work, should I be running the same
command and expect rsync to intelligently know which files have been
changed and which have remained the same ?

 Hopefully this is enough to get you going.

 Best regards,

 Anne Bezemer

Thank you for your help, wisdom and kind words.

I wish what you have said could be captured in some tutorial. Most of
the tutorials out there just look at the big picture and not as small
stuff like individuals like me .

and then took a look again at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

to finally get it without a doubt that both ia64 and amd64 are two
very different architectures.

Hi all,
First of all sorry for jumping on the thread. I thought  I read the
interesting thread, and thought it was a better idea .

I downloaded squeeze beta 1 about a month ago. At that point in time,
the documentation about the DVD read something similar to this :-

1. It includes standard Debian CD installation + languages  (it was
not specifically written like that but atleast I perceived it to be
like that, the word usage I don't remember).

and I was sorta disappointed to download the whole DVD as I didn't
want the other languages but more utilities (like network-manager,
wvdial and most networking and troubleshooting tools)

Now from this discussion I am curious to know what metapackages are
inside say the beta2-DVD1 ?

Looking forward for answers.

using rsync to keep squeeze amd64 image freshened.

[shirish शिरीष]

Hi all,
   I tried to get my query of how to use rsync by mailing
debian-user. You can see the whole thread starting from
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/12/msg00651.html

What I want to do is to keep the weekly amd64 squeeze build , on
http:// its 
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso

The above is what I want to achieve. But I'm facing problems as I
don't know how to use rsync.

Looking from http://www.debian.org/CD/mirroring/rsync-mirrors and
http://www.debian.org/CD/mirroring/#exclude

the command seems to come something like this :-

rsync --times --links --hard-links --partial -archive -verbose
-compress --block-size=8192 --exclude=source/
--exclude='*businesscard*.iso' --exclude='*netinst*.iso'
--exclude=alpha/ --exclude=arm/ --exclude=hppa/ --exclude=hurd/
--exclude=ia64/ --exclude=m68k/ --exclude=mips/ --exclude=mipsel/
--exclude=powerpc/ --exclude=s390/ --exclude=sh/ --exclude=sparc/
--exclude=5.0.7/ --exclude=5.0.7-live/ --exclude=i386/
--include='*-dvd.iso' ftp.de.debian.org::debian-cd/ .

While ftp.de.debian.org has only 5.0.7 images (not something I'm looking for)

The Taiwan mirror seems to have everything . I had to look at quite a
few mirrors as most of them have Debian Lenny (5.0.x series)  but not
Debian squeeze (6.0.x series).

ftp://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso

This is the one I want to rsync. Only DVD-1 does anybody know how can
I achieve that ?

Hi all,
I have been trying to download Debian-beta2-dvd since few days.
Whenever I do try I get this message on the Tracker status t

this tracker.

What could be wrong? I am using deluge 1.2.3

$ deluge-gtk --version
1.2.3

There is no firewall or anything at my end.

not being able to download the squeeze live b1 with gnome .iso in bittorent.

[shirish शिरीष]

HI all,
 I downloaded a torrent,
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_live_beta1/amd64/bt-hybrid/debian-squeeze-live-beta1-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso.torrent
. Now I put it in deluge and tried to download the image, Deluge
doesn't move an inch. Sometime later found out what the issue is,

The tracker says  debian.org: Error: Requested download is not
authorized for use with this tracker.

Can somebody guide me as to why I am getting such errors and how can I fix it ?

Another thing I have a USB Modem which needs wvdial and usb-modeswitch
. Are these in-built in the Beta 1 iso's ?

Looking forward for answers.
