Bug#163737: Bugs on first CD (installer) on ppc distribution
tags 163737 + unreproducible moreinfo thanks #include hallo.h * José Salavert Torres [Tue, Oct 08 2002, 12:42:15AM]: Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0r0 Installer doesn't mount CD-ROM properly. What do you mean? Which kernel messages do you see? Which kind of CDROM drive? If manually mounted, installer doesn't read files properly. Sounds like broken CD drive or bad CDROM. I'm only able to install by copying first cd-rom to hard-drive. Copying how? Do you have any problems with differen IDE modes, for example? Overclocked hardware? Forgotten links in dists directory (and others) apt doesn't work properly (doesn't gets the right directories). Not a boot-floppies problem. XFree 4.2.1pre1v2 doesn't work with macintosh Nvidia cards. The official driver from Nvidia company doesn't compile properly, please, add it as a module for the kernel if you can, or say this to Nvidia. Please report this as a bug in xserver-xfree86 or nvidia-kernel-src. Without Nvidia support the 50% of linux-ppc community doesn't have got graphic environment, doesn't have linux apps. Such wannabe populistic talks won't help you.

[d-i] menu item priorities
Why do we have so tight priorities? Do the magnitudes matter, I thought it was only about ordering? I was thinking, why not go down the BASIC road and change 1,2,3... to 10,20,30... so we can easily say damn, we need THIS too without having to change the priorities of everything else. Heck, look at the priorities in the /etc/rc*.d directories, they're on a scale from 00 to 99, why can't we do that in d-i too? /Martin signature.asc Description: Detta =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=E4r?= en digitalt signeradmeddelandedel

Problem with nfsroot
A friend of mine tried to install woody with nfsroot recently, i.e. on a sparc with no local hard disk used, but through an nfs exported directory. This was not possible, probably due to this bug: http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2002/debian-cd-200205/msg00154.html In short: debootstrap fails because dpkg fails because setting a lock on NFS fails. Any chance to get this fixed for a woody point release? This may require a change in dpkg, though. Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time at the moment to work on it on my own.

If you don't mind which journaling fs, then I'd advice you go for ext3. Just install normally with ext2, compile a kernel with the ext3 driver and use tune2fs to create a journal. ext2 and ext3 are identical, except for the journal file. So you even can switch back to older kernels (rescue discs etc.), just take care to read how to deal with the journal in this case (I don't know, you'll have to do some reading). cheers -- vbi -- this email is protected by a digital signature http://fortytwo.ch/gpg NOTE: get my key here: http://www.google.com/search?q=mQGiBDx2a6ERBAC8l signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

PORQUE VOTAR NELE: Numa leitura breve, superficial porque não acredito naqueles que deixam seu pais, por qualquer motivo, constatei que seu discurso parte de uma premissa falsa, principalmenterelativa aos anos 70 (anos de chumbo). Parece-me que os atribulados anos 70 foram idealizados por aqueles que o autor do discurso atende, por aqueles aquem ele se submete. Numa visão brasileira é só verificar toda a nossa pobreza, todos aquelas favelas (Rio, São Paulo, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, ou no Nordeste brasileiro). Quem permitiu que "seu povo" chegasse a essa situação falimentar, degradante? Quem esteve no governo até hoje no Brasil? O LULA? Não. Acho que é chegada a hora do brasileiro tomar conta do Brasil, e afastar vermes estrangeiros que vêm opinar onde sequer são chamados. É hora de afastar esses "bicudos" que, desde 1500vêm se abastecendo do "brasileiro bonzinho".E o "Lulinha paz e amor" - não sei se mudou ou se aperfeiçoou, ao contrário desses censores externos que ainda não conseguiram mudar sua própria essencia. OPresidente Luiz Inácio da Silvaé um brasileiro. (Mesmo que tenha mudado, o saudoso Tancredo Neves também afirmava que para derrotar o sistema as vezes era necessário se unir com ele). Isso é uma questão de amor pela pátria, que talvez tu não consigas expressar. Com raiva, Mário L. Cechet.

Well I've worked out a disgusting way to let a regular user build a d-i floppy image, and so I will now be uploading daily builds of all available image types, including 2.8 and 1.4 MB cdrom boot images to http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/debian-installer/daily/images/ (The old url points into there for now.) -- see shy jo msg22621/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#157816: No /dev/sr[01] in m68k installer

I just did a testinstall and indeed sr0 and 1 are missing, but only during the initial install, after you reboot from harddisk all devices are there.

This could be fixed in rootdisk.sh, but I think MAKEDEV should be fixed instead. In any case, bf 3.0.24 would be nice for m68k, after that bug is fixed. Or is 3.0.24 already released? Will it ever be released? Christian -- http://people.debian.org/~cts/debian-m68k/woody -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Business Proposal (Urgent)
8th October 2002 Mr Frank K. Adams Department of Mining Natural Resources South Africa Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Sir, STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL URGENT. I am Frank K. Adams, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the South African Department of Mining Natural Resources. First and foremost, I want to apologize for using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties. Within the Department of Mining Natural Resources where I work as Accountant and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment, bills totaling Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars (US$18.5m) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf. As it is, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account, hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount (US$18.5m) represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. The actual Contract Sum has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have, in principle, obtained approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide, by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 20% of the US$18.5 million, 70% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Please contact me immediately through my confidential e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me contact another foreign partner to carry out the deal. I want to assure you that my partners and I are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured for us. Please remember to treat this matter as very confidential matter; and we will not want any form of exposure, as we are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. I am available to entertain any questions concerning the clarity of this transaction. Yours faithfully, Mr Frank K. Adams -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Debian-Installer Alpha Release
Hi guys, it's time to release. (Scary sayings 101 ;) So, the CD folks are starting to get automated CD images of testing going (http://gluck.debian.org/debian-cd/testing/isos/i386/sarge-i386-[1-8].iso) and they're wanting to make them bootable. Hence, it's time to give you lot a spot in the sun. If you remember Tollef's post from late August, you might remember seeing: ] Our RM wanted a limited, but working installer in approximately 14 ] days. I hope to meet that goal. It's been a bit more than 14 days since then, so hopefully y'all can meet this much more limited goal: * 1.44 / 2.88 disk images, based on current d-i in unstable, that boots on some common i386 hardware, shows a user interface, and allows you to download new udebs. Working isn't necessary, we just want to be able to stick a CD in, and have d-i come up, not necessarily being able to do Debian installs reliably. We've been putting off generating and uploading images a little too long. So, I think y'all are far enough along that you can probably come up with something like this by the end of the week without any major problems. Remember: it's alpha, it doesn't have to be good, and it doesn't have to be automated or repeatable. Yet, anyway :) Once you have, dump them in ~whoever/public_html/ on auric, and we can start thinking about where we're going next.

Don't think of it as wasted effort, think of it as proving that if anyone disappears we've got plenty of backups who're somewhat experienced with doing d-i builds, and investigating alternative ways of doing things. Please post to -boot if you're getting anywhere or if you're not, and please assume if no one else has posted, that they're all waiting on you to do something. Yes, _you_.
