Re: Desktop task broken on !(i386/powerpc)
[Sven Luther] Do you really think that anyone installing debian will be baffled when asked to choose between the gnome or KDE desktop ? Do you seriously believe that ? Yes, I seriously believe that. I'm involved in the debian-edu subproject, and we try to make Debian available for all pupils and students during education. Several of the teachers responsible for setting up the computer network at their local school will be seriously baffled when asked to choose between gnome and kde. I bet those people will probably be more confused by the various server tasks. Absolutely. Which is why I try to encurrage redusing the amount of questions during first time install, and hide the complexity and flexibility from common users view, to reduce the cognitive strain on the first time debian users. Us experts will find the options anyway. And you think it is easier for them to discover the KDE desktop once they have GDM running ? What do you imagine our current disk requirements are ? I do not believe these users _care_ if they get the KDE or gnome desktop. I have no idea what you mean by our current disk requirements. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[D-I Manual] Build log for en (07 Jan 2005)
A build of the Debian Installer Manual was triggered by an update to SVN.
There were no errors during the build process.
The new version of the manual has been uploaded successfully.
A log of the build is available at:
- http://home.tiscali.nl/isildur/d-i/log/en.log
===
New in this theater: these builds now include html, pdf and text formats!
They are available from the index page on alioth:
- http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/
Unfortunately pdf output is not yet supported for languages requiring
a different font, like Japanese and Greek.
Help to get these supported is welcome.
As there have been some major changes to the scripts, there may be
unexpected build problems. I'll keep an eye out for those, but feel free
to contact me.

My brother (who also owns an ibook) had a look and told me it was not a simple addition, but we did not push this further. Sure it is, i am the parted maintainer, and i know what i speak about on this. It is not implemented, because of the future compatibility concerns of upstream-lvm chosing a different approach. The fix for the amiga partition table was trivial, and i have no problem doing lvm installs on pegasos now. Nobody did really find the time to push this, and thus there is no lvm support on powermac (altough there should be no problem on prep and ibm chrp hardware, and i have solution for pegasos too). Well, lvm works nicly. The only trick is to set it up on the command line during the install (i.e., leave the gui for that). There are some minor issues in some tools (#281925 and #287670), but they can be easily worked around during operation. (I have not tried to reduce the size of a LV, though). Ah, didn't try any of those too, just created the LVM partitions. I don't care strongly enough to pursue this though, so you are welcome to take this on you shoulder and become de facto LVM-on-powerpc maintainer. I will code the parted part of it once a consensus is reached about this with upstream. Please CC me (or debian-powerpc) on any such discussion though Ok. The main problem is that there is no LVM flag for mac partition tables, i wonder how usefull that is though. Parted is a bit shaky on this, as i believe it should not really be a partition flag, but a partition type. Neither there is for alpha. I asked the LVM guys back then, and they told me, that the partition type really does not matter, and we've installed lvm since then on several alphas, all using BSD disk labels. Ok, so we should will a bug against partman-lvm in order to get that fixed, i am all in favor of this approach indeed. I don't know the details of partitions on ppc, but using my alpha Well, powermacs use mac partition tables, prep and IBM chrp use plain mbr's, and pegasos uses amiga rdb's. experience I also chose an arbitary partition type (sorry, don't know offhand which). on amiga, i used a LVM partition flag, but in retrospect, the 'LVM\0' and 'RAID' partition table types should be better. I believe on pmac they use some strings too for this, so best would be to use the right strings, be it only for documentation purpose. Parted is somewhat broken on this though, as its only easy way to set partition types is by putting a filesystem on the partition. Mmm, let me look, ... Indeed the ped_partition_set_system call needs a filesystem argument : int ped_partition_set_system (PedPartition* part, PedFileSystemType* fs_type) Sets the system type on the partition to be fs_type. Note: the file system may be opened, to get more information about the file system, e.g. to determine if it's FAT16 or FAT32. So in summary: if it can be added easily, IMHO it should, as lvm definitly eases system management. Indeed. Please go ahead and fill a bug report against partman, or start the discussion about this with the lvm-tools maintainers.

D-I Manual -- Status update
Contents - Sarge branch in SVN repository - D-I repository moved from Alioth to Costa - New Chinese and Tagalog translations - Translations that need update (!!) - Recent and planned changes - Manual also available in PDF and text format - Publication of the manual on the official Debian website - Using po files for translation Sarge branch in SVN repository == Joey Hess has created a 'Sarge' branch for Debian Installer ([1] and [2]). This also includes the manual. After a short discussion on debian-boot, it's been decided to continue writing and translation for the manual in 'trunk'. As the manual that is included on CD's and the official website will be built from the Sarge branch, I periodically copy all changes in trunk to the Sarge branch. To make this possible we will postpone adding documentation for post-Sarge developments (like localechooser) in d-i. This means that writers and translators can keep working in trunk and don't have to worry about the Sarge branch. The development version of the manual on [3] is built from trunk. Repository move === The SVN repository for d-i has been moved from Alioth to Costa [4]. Instructions on how to switch your checkout are in [5]. The repository can now be browsed using WebSVN from [6]. New translations A new translation for Tagalog has been started recently. Googling recently unexpectedly turned up a fully translated simplified Chinese translation of the manual [7]. Translations that need update = Japanese: 32 out of date; 2 missing Spanish:35 out of date; 2 missing Catalan:36 out of date; 2 missing Italian:72 out of date; 2 missing Portuguese: 74 out of date; 2 missing Basque: 85 out of date; 2 missing; 2 with missing/wrong revision comments German, French, Japanese and Dutch are completely up-to-date. Czech only misses the most recent changes. Please try to keep your translations up-to-date. This is especially important for Portuguese and Spanish as these will be included on the Sarge CD's. The final build of d-i for Sarge still has to happen! For incomplete languages: please also keep untranslated documents up-to-date (the cp-untranslated script can help). Recent changes == - Updates for Alfa and Sparc architectures - Improved readability of preseeding example (long lines have been split) - Improved documentation on resizing partitions - Collin Watson has restructured the sections on booting from USB sticks and added a information on this subject for powerpc. This has added 2 documents. - Frans Pop has done a revision of how informalexamples were being used and formatted. This has changed a lot of documents, but got rid of some unwanted whitespace in the output and improved consistency. Planned changes === - Major change of some entities used in the manual [8]. This has been discussed on debian-boot to allow translation of entities [9] and to better support changing the names of the distribution and releases for derived distributions. This change will mean a lot of small updates in most documents. The current entities will remain supported to allow a gradual transition. - There is still the planned major revision of chapter 2. Manual also available in PDF and text format We have recently switched to what was called the 'new generation' build scripts. This means we are now also able to generate PDF, PS and text versions of the manual. Nikolai Prokoschenko is working on a further change that will also allow generation of a PDF version for Japanese and improve the Russian version. This should also be of interest for the Chinese translation and should allow future translations in other character sets (like Greek) to be supported. More information will follow. Publication of the manual on the official Debian website There have been some discussions [10] with people from debian-www about publication of the manual on the official website (linked from the Sarge release page [11]). It looks like most things have been worked out and hopefully publication will happen soon. Special thanks to Frank Lichtenheld. The version of the manual that is published on the official website will be updated periodically and new languages can be added there. Using po files for translation == The Russian translation is currently using po files for their translation of the manual. Scripts have been developed to create pot files, convert existing translations to po files and generate xml files from the po files (see the scripts directory in SVN). What still needs to be done is to integrate these scripts into the build system and to create a web page with translation statistics. It also has to be decided how to save the po files in the repository and if the translated xml

Why ? take for example the bootstrap partition, which is Apple_bootstrap on mac, and 0x41 on chrp/prep MBRs ? The same goes for LVM or RAID partitions. What is broken is the fact that parted doesn't really supports a way to set dostypes, and so abuses the partition flags (bootable, hidden, ...) to set the dostype accordyingly, this leads to some ugly code to assure that some random dostype flags are removed from the in-memory partition when one of those are set. Furthermore, i believe that the partition type is the right place to store this info, confirmed by the fact that on MBR a type is used for both RAID and LVM. After all, the fact that a partition does RAID or LVM cannot be compatible by it being a linux swap partition for example, in the way the bootable flag is set for example. I would suggest we use 'Linux_RAID' and 'Linux_LVM' for those two. this stuff in a second).

No, i would vote against this. After all, a parted user can change the name of a partition through the parted and d-i/partman interface. I think that doing it the partition type way is the right thing to do. This is what is done on x86, and it is what makes the most sense, since if you define a partition as hosting LVM (or RAID) stuff, you clearly define its type.

I did successfully install Libranet 2.8.1 on that machine though. everything works fine, including sound, mac usb keyboard and usb mouse. xfree86 is configured as i810 for the video adapter (the t1742 has an i845GL).

loadlin and boot parameters
Hi, I'm trying to get debian-installer to install sarge on a toshiba portege 3020ct which I just bought. It's a bit awkward since it has win98, but neither floppy nor bootable cdrom, so I've taken the approach of FIPSing the win98 down, and using loadlin to boot the hd-media version of d-i. I ran into the problem that has been reported with this laptop that when looking for the network card, it locks up trying to load yenta-socket (actually, as I was typing this mail, I was also trying today's build of the 2.4 kernel d-i, and now it gets an error and continues, rather than locking up, so I'm a lot better off than I was a few mins ago, but I'm still interested in help with loadlin+d-i, and there's still some 2.6 problem, so I'm sending it along anyway). In the responses to an earlier message about this problem, several people pointed out some boot parameters to help, in particular hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false. Unfortunately, all of the boot parameters to d-i seem to be ignored when I put them on the loadlin line, although interestingly kernel parameters seem to be understood (the ramdisk_size was needed to avoid an error, so that must work). So, my first question is am I doing something wrong in getting the boot parameters from loadlin to d-i? Here is the current version of my boot.bat script (I know putting several flags is probably not helpful, but I figured I would leave them in to show things I'd tried... I've also tried BOOT_DEBUG=3: loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=35000 hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false expert emergency When I activate the shell on console 2, I can see hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false in the environment as reported by env, but it seems to be ignored by hw-detect. This suggests that it's not a problem with command.com needing something quoted. I also tried the 2.6 images, and got an error uncompressing the kernel (or maybe the ramdisk), both for the release candidate and the daily build. Unfortunately, since I have no bootable media, I'm pretty much stuck with loadlin... the install manual seems to imply that GRUB could be used in this situation-- is there a version of GRUB that runs under windows? I could conceivably use the console-2-shell to run GRUB while d-i is asking about language choices, but I figured it'd be better to figure out how to get d-i to recognize expert or emergency if I'm going with that approach... (but since the 1/7/05 build of 2.4 doesn't freeze at least, I'm a bit better off...) Of course, I'd also be interested in how to get the PCMCIA socket to work eventually, since I'll certainly want to get my network card working soon, so suggestions for that are welcome, too. If I figure that out, I'd be happy to report it to hw-detect, of course. Anyway, thanks for any help, and good work on d-i!

Re: Bug#260763: [powerpc] Problems with logical volume setup during installation

Because of the module versions issue in the kernel / toolchain the window of opportunity to make changes to the manual in time for the CD's was opened drastically. As yet I don't think there is a new schedule for the next (final?) initrd build. The only thing that should still be discussed beforehand is major updates and restructuring. Also, the manual published on the official website under the release pages for Sarge will be updated periodically (even after the release). So especially small improvements are useful and very welcome ATM. pgpemfneE1tZk.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#288974: Debian installer report: i386, d-i RC2, 2004-12-29
On Fri, Jan 07, 2005 at 11:13:53PM +0100, Frans Pop wrote: Thx for your answer. No problem with closing the 'bug' since it was only a report. Anyway I'd like to make a few remarks. * During the installation various messages where shown that several modules could not be loaded. I guess they were loaded at a later stage or were not needed anyway. So again no problem but a little Well, I can only say: don't use expert mode ;-) Well, I don't want to use something else :-) You may want to try booting the installer with 'debconf/priority=medium' boot parameter next time. Ok, if I find another machine needing Debian ... * Sound: After the base install and with the shipped kernel sound didn't work. After compiling a custom kernel with ALSA and without OSS everything is fine. Alsa currently never works after the first reboot. Some alsa package needs to be installed that includes blacklisting the OSS modules. You should have been able to get thinks working without compiling your own kernel as well. At this time we installed 2 machines with Debian. Sound didn't work on both of them. The 2 'solutions' were * the new kerne lwith alsa and without oss (my machine) * disabling oss modules somehow (my friend's machine) Both attempts needed some knowledge and action * RAM: I was a little surprised that the shipped kernel included about each and everything but no HIGHMEM support so I initially had only 896MB of my 1GB RAM available. (And I didn't know that 1GB is already HIGHMEM ;-)) I'm not sure why this choice has been made. There probably is a good reason for it. If you want to find out I suggest asking the kernel mailing list. Anyway, it is not a debian installer issue. Pooh - I don't think I want to participate in LKML (yet :-)) Anyway: Isn't it possible to activate this option in the Debian default install kernel?
