I found it quite annoying that after each test the UUID of the swap changed, so I stopped testing DI. BTW the 5 people in the world having more than one installation on the same machine presumably know well how to avoid the potential problems of shared swap. Regards Herbert --

The repository for squeeze moved to archive.debian.org, so you will need to change /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly, replacing ftp.nl.debian.org with archive.debian.org. I have been bitten by this move too, but after the change my PogoPlug (armel too) can install packages again. Most interestingly, squeeze-updates and squeeze-backports are still found on ftp.de.debain.org, and security.debian.org still works too. Regards, Herbert -- Herbert Kaminski D-26122 Oldenburg

, this was OK. - xterminal of XFCE4 desktop used US keymap, got to change it manually - console (Alt-F1) had to be dpkg-reconfigureed with no AltGr key to get the AltGr key working for characters like backslash, pipe or @. - unable to mount NTFS filesystem (after installing ntfs-3g): unable to read a NTFS bitmap. But I can mount the VFAT filesystem of an USB stick, or Ext2/Ext3, and Ext4 R/O. - a regression: now xfburn finds the CDR drive only when started by root. /dev/cd0 is owned by root:cdrom, and the standard user is member of the cdrom group. - in XFCE, all menu entries or buttons to shutdown, reboot etc are greyed, and the notification area in the panel is only a vertcal bar.

Googling for debian installation firmware turned up lots of pages with mostly contradicting information how to provide the firmware, so I tied archives: deb, tar, and zip, and the unpacked firmware files iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode and iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode, on a vfat or ext2 file system, in the root directory of the stick or in a subdirectory named firmware. In the log, there were warnings about utf-8 not being an appropriate mount option for vfat, when the installer tried to mount various partitions (sdb1, sdb2) and the device sdb itself, but did not find the firmware.

Bug#688869: grub-pc installation into a partition fails

When I selected this option, installation failed. In the log window (Alt-F4) it said among others: grub-installer: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition. This is a BAD idea. grub-installer: /usr/setup/grub-setup: warn: grub-installer: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be grub-installer: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged The installer should not offer to install grub-pc into a partition if he later refuses to do it, so the user knows he got to use grub-legacy or lilo if he needs this kind of setup. Everything else worked flawlessly. Thanks! Regards, Herbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The install into an encrypted partition worked well, albeit somewhat slow ;-) In addition to the encrypted installation partition, it correctly created an unencrypted boot partition and encrypted swap. 2. The installation did not detect the existing Lubuntu 10.04 and wanted to install grub into the master boot record (I did not allow that). 3. the grub installer was unable to install grub into any partition of the harddisk, encrypted or not. So I could not boot into wheezy. 4. Manually editing the configuration of the existing grub-legacy in the master boot record, I was able to boot into wheezy. So, grub seems to be the only problem of wheezy, at least for me. Thanks for your good work! Herbert -- Herbert Kaminski Dipl.Phys.

Maybe joeyh's files require real Debian mirrors, I asssume they need a _current_ mirror. As D-I changes daily, I think it is not a good idea to use a presumably outdated inofficial snapshot.

Hi Anton, ...this bug seams to be there since version 22 of partman-basicfilesystems (11 Apr 2004 !). If there was at least one bug report about this problem, I would fix it. On my desktop machine (512 MB of RAM), I am running sarge with KDE for weeks now without even noticing the lack of swap! OK, KDE is sluggish, but I attributed that to the new version 3.2.

During 2nd stage, the new keymap configuration screens are untranslated. In tasksel, choosing 'manual selection' and then leaving aptitude without any selection, the installer loads and installs tons of packages including X.

Could you try to reproduce the bug yourself and tell us exactly how?

Sorry, it was my fault, and I was able to reproduce it with sarge_d-i. As this notebook had WinXP, Win98, an old SuSE and a previous d-i test installed, I did not replace the boot loader with grub but kept the old one. It was lilo, so I should have run lilo from Suse. Creating a new ext3 file system apparently did not destroy the kernel from the old d-i test months ago, that was a 2.4.25. After updating lilo, the installation finished flawlessly.

This *might* be because 2.6.6 was removed from testing because it had some problems. Can you check if there's a 2.6.6 kernel on your CD image? If not, that's the reason why 2.4.25 was installed and this will be fixed once we have a 2.6.6 in testing again.

However, I was only able to boot Sid or SuSE, not Win or OS/2. Do you know how to properly identify an OS/2 partition? Well, if you see the abiguous partition type 10 (I believe) and cannot mount it as NTFS, then it is probably HPFS and that means OS/2. It might, however, not be bootable. If you find the file 'OS2BOOT' on any HPFS or FAT16 partition's root directory, then you may assume it is able to boot OS/2. Do you know why Win98 didn't boot? Is this the same problem as described at http://bugs.debian.org/248509 ? Two of the three Win98s could not boot because they were not on Drive C: of the first disk, so this was not D-I's fault. Unfortunately, I cannot investigate further why the third Win and the OS/2 did not boot because the primary disk of that setup died a few days later. I am now using the former hdc as hda, and with only a correction of the partition in menu.lst from hd0,2 to hd0,0 it now boots fine. As soon as I got another spare drive and a little time, I will retry the two disk setup. Herbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
