After a while (2+ minutes), it does continue, but the partition tree is all messed up, partitions are represented by something that is not human readable, and selecting a partition does not work. As best I can tell, visual.d/number is being passed the following parameters: /var/lib/partman/devices/=3Ddev=3Dide=3Dhost0=3Dbus0=3Dtarget0=3Dlun0=3Ddisc 6 96768-50061311 49964544 logical ext3 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun This is from /proc/<pid>/cmdline so may be wrong, and I suspect there's more at the end. Anyway, looking at visual.d/number, it seems to pass stralign two parameters, a $number_width and $x, which is from partman/text/number's description. Since I see "stralign #6" in ps, it must not be getting a $number_width from anywhere.=20 It looks like number_width used to be defined in partman/partman, but this has been commented out in the most recent version, with the very unhelpful commit message "Many changes in partman, look at Debian changelog files". Nothing I can see in the changelog mentions why it was commented out. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=3Den_US, LC_CTYPE=3Den_US --=20 see shy jo --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBNhtBd8HHehbQuO8RAinwAJ9AudFMWv9kRlm/VnAJexWbkrrpgwCfYF5h vIPaIHGlP8u+Tu/QvUq6/og= =yQVV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Nq2Wo0NMKNjxTN9z-- --------------------------------------- Received: (at 269487-done) by bugs.debian.org; 1 Sep 2004 20:29:28 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 01 13:29:28 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from kitenet.net [64.62.161.42] (postfix) by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1C2bjU-0001VX-00; Wed, 01 Sep 2004 13:29:28 -0700 Received: from dragon.kitenet.net (unknown [66.168.94.144]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (Client CN "Joey Hess", Issuer "Joey Hess" (verified OK)) by kitenet.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6594B1803B for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 1 Sep 2004 20:29:27 +0000 (GMT) Received: by dragon.kitenet.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id E3E036E192; Wed, 1 Sep 2004 16:30:02 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2004 16:30:01 -0400 From: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FWD: Bug#269487: fails to start up with stralign hanging Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="11Y7aswkeuHtSBEs" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040818i Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-6.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00,HAS_BUG_NUMBER autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: --11Y7aswkeuHtSBEs Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I've uploaded a partman that uncomments the commented out lines. --=20 see shy jo --11Y7aswkeuHtSBEs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBNjFId8HHehbQuO8RAgRlAKCCSjpUkh3JeTmlmNQ+ukRjtnAYaQCg3a89 o//lw+b9cUYHhSkCibIsTXQ= =rJyl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --11Y7aswkeuHtSBEs-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
