Bug#296620: xserver-xfree86: Emulate3Buttons defaults to on, but man page claims off
I don't have a debian system currently. I'm sure someone in the debian labs has access to the current version of the man page and a system with current version of the X server and can check this. Did you read the mail I mentioned above ? Here is a direct link : http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-November/011137.html Regards, David
Bug#386574: Extended partition creation policy ?
Package: partman-base Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote : The correct way to report this would be to file a bug report [1] against the package partman-base. That will make sure it is brought to the attention of the debian-installer team and that its resolution will be tracked in the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS). Could you please do that? Original text : I noticed, that when the debian installer is instructed to create two partitions, whose joint size is less than the size of the disk, then it creates one primary partition and one logical partition inside an extended partition. The issue is, that this extended partition has the size of the logical partition and not the maximum possible size (the entire empty disk space plus the logical parition). This layout seems to be special to debian, since all other distros (except debian based ones) and operating systems create extended partitions that cover the entire free disk space. This becomes a problem, when the user want to create a new partition. He has two options : - create a primary partition up side : easy to do, no problems down side : as two slots are used for the original primary partition and the extended partition, only two remain. Also more than than one primary partition is unrecomended and can be problemtatic in certain environments. - change the size of the extended partition and create logical partition(s) upside : no limits on number of partitions, no other problems downside : very few partitioning tools support this in asimple and obvious way. The most common ones (fdisk, Windows Disk Management) for example do not. My question is : What benefit does the debian way give ? Is there a possibility to change for the other common way ? For reference I also include the results of a small research about this on various op-systems : I started their CD based installer and in their partitioner, I created two partitions (a single partition setup usually creates a primary partition, so that would not cover our topic). I always used the default settings and values, except the following : - I asked creation of exactly two partitions - I specified their size (the sum of their sizes is less than the disk size) - for linux, I specified the partition type for the second partition as swap (the first partition was formatted by the default FS and used for / - root fs) That's it. The results : win XP : extended partition covers entire disk win 98 : extended partition covers entire disk debian 2.0 hamm: extended partition covers only used part of disk redhat 5.2 : extended partition covers entire disk debian 3.1 sarge : extended partition covers only used part of disk fedora 4 : extended partition covers entire disk (FC4 : I created 4 partitions, otherwise no extended partition would be created, but 3 primary partitions) As we see, the small extended partition is a debianism. Notes : entire disk means entire disk minus the part used by the primary partition only used part of disk means the space used by the logical partition Regards, David - http://noepatents.eu.org/ Innovation, not litigation ! --- David Balazic mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] HERMES Softlab http://www.hermes-softlab.com Zagrebska cesta 104Phone: +386 2 450 8846 SI-2000 Maribor Slovenija - Be excellent to each other. - Bill S.

Bug#315553: Install fails from USB DVD unit
Package: debian-installer Severity: important Debian 3.1 r0a installation from external USB DVD unit fails. I booted the official debian 3.1 r0a DVD from an external DVD unit connected over USB2.0. After the kernel booted , the installer tried to find the boot medium, but failed. This is on an AMD Athlon 2200+ machine. I used the deafult boot option (kerne 2.4.x). The 2.6 kernel does not have this problem. Ask me for any details you might need. Regards, David Balazic VOLJADSL. Vec kot samo hitrost. http://adsl.volja.net
Bug#315554: Failure in case of duplicate labels
Package: debian-installer Severity: important This is debian 3.1 r0a on i386 If before the installation there is already partition with the label / in the system, then debian will fail to boot after the installation with 50% probability. It depends whetehr the old / is found (and mounted) before the new /. Solutions : - quick : Abort installation if an existing / partition is detected - cool : Install using another label if / is already in use. (just appeanding an extra slash, until a uniq name is found, seems to be a simple and working solution) PS: I used the 2.6 kernel when I discovered this. VOLJADSL.

Bug#304674: After changing partition size it goes back to partition list page
Package: debian-installer Severity: minor Version : 1.07 -- from DVD : Debian GNU/Linux testing Sarge - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20050318) In partitioning: After changing a property (type, mount point, flags, ... ) of a partition, you get back to the properties of that partition. But if I change the size of the partition, I get back to the screen that lists all the partitions. Is that on purpose ? It seems inconsistent. Regards, David VOLJADSL.

Bug#304676: Can not set partition type to don not use from RAID
Package: debian-installer Severity: minor Version : 1.07 -- from DVD : Debian GNU/Linux testing Sarge - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20050318) Set the type (Use as:) of a partition to physical volume for RAID. Now set it do do not use. It is still showing ph. vol. for RAID, Workaround : set use to something else (ext2 for example) and only then to not use , then it works. VOLJADSL.
