Package: nvram-wakeup
Version: 0.97-12
Severity: important
When installing nvram-wakeup as part of the debian-edu automatic
installation, the installation was interrupted with a note giving
instructions on how to get nvram-wakeup working. This note seem like
debconf misuse to me, as it would be better to give such instructions
when running the tool. Then the information will be available when it
is needed.
This is the problematic code in nvram-wakeup.config:
# show manual install instructions:
db_input high nvram-wakeup/install_instruction || true
db_go
This is the text of the popup. I suggest moving it to the tool itself
and give the instructions when it is unable to talk to the kernel
driver.
Description: Install instructions
There are two ways the NVRAM can be accessed. To use direct I/O access you
will have to specify the --directisa option. Alternatively you can use the
nvram kernel module. If this kernel module is available, but not loaded,
you may need to perform these steps:
.
- modprobe nvram
.
- add nvram to /etc/modules
.
- alternatively you can use modconf to reach the same result

[ Tobias Grimm ]
* Don't install /usr/sbin/time anymore. The functionallity of this tool can
be replaced by `date` (e.g. `date -d "1970-01-01 1089365289 sec UTC"` and
`date -u -d "1970-01-01 1089365289 sec UTC"`) (Closes: #425120)
* Removed installation of set_timer (which used /usr/sbin/time) and install
it as example only (release notes added to NEWS)
* Removed 03_set_timer.dpatch
* Moved debconf installation instructions to README.Debian (Closes: #419444)
* Updated debian/copyright
* Added description to 10_nvram-wakeup-mb.c.dpatch
.
[ Thomas Schmidt ]
* Do not create /dev/rtc and /dev/nvram in postinst anymore - these devices
should be automatically created on every installation (closes: #428694)
* Using COMPAT=5 now
* Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.0
