Package: passwd, base-config
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch d-i

The debian-installer team has determined that various sensative
information may be leaked into world-readable log files during the
Debian installation process (sarge, etch, sid [1]). This includes:

 - preseeded passwords for root and other users if a preseed file is
   being used for an automated install (via the debconf-seed log file in
   sarge, and the cdebconf database in etch (bug #356845))
 - pppoeconf passwords in the base-config log file (bug #254068)
 - various other information about what software was installed on the
   system, and the configuration of the system

Note that unlike the similar security issues that affected Ubuntu, root
passwords are not leaked into the log files during regular,
non-preseeded installs.

The attached patches to passwd's postinst close these holes for already
installed systems, by chmoding all affected log files to mode 600. There
are two patches, one is against passwd 1:4.0.14-7 from unstable, and one
is against passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge5 from stable. I've also include a
patch for base-confg in stable to do the same thing[2]. In combination with
installation-report 2.13 (unstable), this will fix the issue in all
circumstances.

Note that passwd is not where this bug originated, and is only being
involved in the fix because there is no better place to put the fix.
Unfortunatly, in systems installed by the sarge installer, some of the
affected log files are not owned by any particular package, so the fix
has to go into an unrelated package that is installed/upgraded on every
system.

[1] oldstable may also be vulnerable to the #254068 part of this issue,
but I have not investigated it.

upgrade now, while the base-config fix is needed to secure systems
installed after the passwd package is accepted into the next stable
point release.

This is ridiculous. It seems to become a favourite pasttime in debian
to ask for exclusion of people with whom someone has a personal quarrel.

 So, if you are interested in seconding the expulsion request, please let
 me know.  Please do not turn this into a flamewar; I don't care about
 your reasons why people should not be forcefully removed from the
 project.  Those who feel this way probably have not had to work w/ Sven
 on a team for the past 2 years.

I have been working with Sven on the debian ocaml team for six years.
He was the founder of that team, and for a long time among the most
active and productive members. Every time I had the occassion to
collaborate with him discussions were constructive and fruitful.

That is not the case.  Furthermore, apologizing repeatedly does not make
his behavior right.

This is not about taunting a release manager, an ftp master, or a DAM.
This is about repeated aggressive, childish behavior, against a number
of people.  Sven seems to anger almost everyone he works closely with.
The examples I provided are just the tip of the iceberg.  I thought I
explained this in my followup email[0].

 harm upon another developer in a public forum, and then a week later

 behavior, and should not be tolerated within the project (IMO).

He were slandering somebody and others were listening/reading without
telling him that the behaviour is impolite? Well, then maybe it shows us
all (or at least the readers) in a bad light.

Even then, you have to deal with such offence in a more contructive way,
definitely not by stupid expulsion process. Heck, even our current DPL
may not be there if I would have acted like you few years ago (I did
not forget comments like Ah, Eduard Bloch joined the club of
debian-legal experts, hahaha and similar stupid rants found in IRC logs
but, hey, people can change, and people can learn, and kicking someone
out without giving at least one second chance is equally childish). And
if I would have acted like a hot potato, I would have gone the path of
Adrian Bunk at the time.

Re: Installer problem report (dual boot loadlin)

2006-03-15 Thread Lennart Sorensen
On Wed, Mar 15, 2006 at 12:24:55PM +1100, Lachlan Patrick wrote:
 Well, the question I wanted it to ask was which partition
 should /boot go onto? AFAI recall that question wasn't
 asked. I had two other ext2 partitions, so I was just
 surprised that the command to format /dev/hda6 was also
 taken to mean that /dev/hda6 was where /boot should go.
 I wonder how the installer decides where to place /boot
 if I had formatted multiple partitions? I also wonder what
 it would have done if I'd chosen not to reformat /dev/hda6
 as ext3 (it was an empty ext2 before)? My point is
 formatting/partitioning != choosing where to install.
 Maybe there was a screen asking that, but I don't recall
 one. I just remember being surprised I wasn't asked.

/boot goes to whatever is mounted as /boot in the partition setup.  If
you have a seperate partition for /boot you tell the partition setup you
want it used as /boot and it does.  If you don't have a seperate one, it
obviously has to go on whatever is used as / in the partition setup.

 As a user of Debian, but not a frequent installer of Debian,
 I had no way to know whether loadlin was 'good', all I knew
 was it worked. As far as I knew, loadlin was an officially
 supported and sanctioned and 'good' boot method... I was
 looking for it in the installer menu options. I just had no
 way of knowing that it was deprecated or obsolete... where
 is that written? Maybe I just missed it.

I don't think anyone ever considered loadlin a good sactioned boot
loader, just a hack for dos users to use as a way to get something
loaded, often as a way to start an installer before having a proper boot
loader installed.  And of course a decade ago when some distributions
supported installing with umsdos filesystem, loadlin was the way to boot
those.  Fortunately that mess has disappeared.  loadlin is the only
remnant left and certainly hasn't had any maintenance done on it in a
while.  I would not be surprised if the next time some change is
required in boot loaders to support a kernel boot change, loadlin will
not be updated.

 OK, but trust is a subjective thing. I had a working loadlin
 system for five years; I trusted it, it worked through
 several revisions of kernel 2.2. By contrast, I didn't
 trust LILO, having tried and failed to get it working
 (bear in mind I was a total Linux newbie five years ago,
 and I knew loadlin worked, so I switched back from LILO
 to loadlin when I couldn't get LILO working.) For me,
 if it works, why change it? I mean, I don't even know
 why GRUB is preferred to LILO now. I just wanted a method
 which boots, and I had one, so I thought, why change it?

For a dos user, a dos program makes sense.  And lilo can be a real pain.
Grub is much nicer.

 Oh, I realise that now, and I wasn't suggesting otherwise.
 But I only discovered that by trying it.
 
 My perspective was odd... I had a previously installed
 Debian system, with a blank 2GB ext2 partition ready and
 waiting for a new installation, so I didn't _need_ to
 partition anything. The installer expected me to, though.
 So, only having a write changes button, when potentially
 nothing needed to change, seemed odd. But only from my
 perspective. For a new user, with an empty PC hard drive,
 partitioning would be necessary, and write changes
 would therefore be necessary.

Even if you don't want to create partitions you still have to tell it
which existing partition to use for what (even if you don't want to
format them).  The partition setup does all that.

 OK, I didn't know loadlin/FIPS wouldn't work with recent
 versions of Windows. Thanks for that info!

They are dos tools.  Windows 98 was the last version they work on.  That
is quite a long time ago.

 I had used that combination five years ago, and it worked
 fine, so until today I assumed it would still work, or
 was still supported, or that recent upgrades to those
 packages would work with recent versions of Windows.
 I'm a bit surprised that they've been allowed to lapse.
 Surely being able to install Linux and boot into it from
 an icon on the Windows desktop is a desirable way to
 convert the unwashed masses? Forcing people to start
 with a clean PC, or lose their existing Windows partition,
 seems IMHO to raise the barrier for entry. Or is it that
 Windows won't play fair and is putting files all over the
 disk to stop FIPS-like disk repartitioning?

You can't do anything like that from inside any 32bit windows.  You
could only do that on the win98 and older because they were a 32bit
shell running on top of DOS, so they could drop down to dos and run
loadlin.

 As it turns out, the initrd parameter solved the problem,
 and I now have loadlin booting kernel 2.4.27.
 
 No, not much, apart from a vague unease about formatting,
 partitioning, or changing MBRs if I didn't need to (the
 disk had existing data and operating systems on it).
 But see below for a comment on incremental vs big changes.

 the error is reported while making the filesystem, where tune2fs cannot

 shows the partitions as being there, but the entries in /dev for the
 partitions seem not to have been created.  i have tried rebooting after
 creating the raid device, to no success.  i tried creating the
 partitioning and software RAID by hand, and went through the steps
 without apparent problems, but that /dev/md/0p1 did not get created
 automatically, and i became as if stumped. 

Do not partition the md device.  It is not supported.  You can run a
partition tool on it, but the kernel does not support partitions on md
devices at this time.  It simply doesn't have device major/minor numbers
allocated to support that.

Use LVM or create a seperate raid for each mount you want.

After creating the raid partitions, go to the raid menu and setup the
raid, then when you come back, do nothing other than select what to use
the raid for and what filesystem to use, or that it should be an LVM
device (after which you go setup lvm).

 i further tried it on two different systems with 5 different drives, in
 total.  notably, none of the drives were the same size, but i made sure
 to make only a single partition of the exact same size an any two
 drives i was testing with. 
 
 thanks for any help you can give.

Using the irc logs of a pissed person for the ground of an expulsion

The installer hangs with the message Installed Mutt. My most recent

resolution (I chose only 1280x800)

ps -aux shows that aptitude is in the Z state. 

The latest message on VT4 is Setting up dpkg-dev (1.13.16)

The last line in /target/var/log/dpkg.log is status installed
dpkg-dev 1.13.16.

I have partitioned the machine with hda1 as root (with xfs) the rest
of the disk is used for lvm with volumes for swap and /home (also
xfs). 

I selected only Laptop and Standard System in tasksel.

It's not possible for me to provide more information since the
installer was completely stuck.

I ended up rebooting and installing without choosing anything in
tasksel which worked nicely.

 Sven has insulted me and accused me of engaging in a conspiracy against

Well, this was on the ubuntu irc channel, when you where all presenting
excuses for not having applied the patch that allowed the pegasos to be fully
supported on ubuntu, even though i did so one month before the release, and
nobody commented on that bug.

I was a bit short on you, because you started to make noise about the reason
for the refusal being a #include being wrongly placed in the patch, and a
printk that was not strictly necessary, which i think for someone like you or
the ubuntu kernel team is a joke reason not to even do a single reply on the
bug report.

Then you can add the fact that the ubuntu kernel people are making noise on
public conferences about unifying the kernel (based on their stuff) for all
debian and debian based distros, while nobody at the debian kernel team is
aware of that, and contrary to when fabbionne was the ubuntu kernel
maintainer, ben collins hardly communicates with us.

I gave up on trying to communicate with the ubuntu kernel folk about pegasos
support since then, and when i learned they dropped the mkvmlinuz support
with a nobody should be using oldworlds by now comment, which was extremely
clueless as oldworlds don't use it, only ibm chrp, pseries and the pegasos,
weeks after genesi became a ubuntu partner, i decided to let this pass by the
hierarchical way instead.

I note also that Andres Salomon is now, to a degree, involved with the ubuntu
folk, which is ok with me, but may color his request with regard to the above.

I also remember that you where much less than curteous and extremely
patronizing when i proposed myself to handle the ubuntu powerpc kernels, a
year or so ago, when i still believed that cooperation was possible, and i
never heard you apologize for that, so should we expulse you for both being
offensive to me (and having gone over to the ennemy :) ? 

So, please tell me when i have said anything such to you in the context of
debian, i would be very surprised about it.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

 i had some discussion with Frans Pop today and we agreed that it might
 make more sense to have a new sarge d-i with R3 rather than R2. That's
 also due to the fact that he can't tell me how long it might take to
 build new sarge based d-i packages. (spoke about 2-8 weeks).
 
 So my plan would be, as soon as we get the remaining issue for R2 fixed
 (which i expect within the next 2 weeks), we then go without new kernels
 in R2 and then have R3 a few weeks later (4-8 weeks), then with new
 kernels and new d-i.
 
 Do you think this sounds reasonable for the security team?

Yes.

I think we all do mistakes. I agree that Sven sometimes is very rudy

I personally dislike that situation of Jonas and Sven and do thing
that those things shouldn't happen but we also need to look all good
work that Sven already did in past and continue to do in a lot of
areas of Debian et all.

I work with him in some projects (Parted and MOL) and never had

 isn't loaded explicitly by the installer, so I had no chance to add the
 option there. What I had to do was, once it said it was going to detect
 the CDROM, I went to the 2nd VC and ran
 
 modprobe ide_core options=hda=stroke
 
 (and working out the options= bit took some time, too ...), then I
 returned to the installer and didn't need to specify anything else.
 
 The next problem is that, presumably because the installer knew nothing
 about what I had done, it didn't add the option to the initrd image
 either, so on reboot I'm back to a 33.8G disk. I'm now working through
 how to recreate the initrd image ...

Ugh, that could be better. 

One thing I've been considering is passing all kernel parameters to
modules in the modprobe line always. I'm not sure how all modules would
react to this, hopefully they'd just ignore unknown parameters. We may
try that eventually. Of course it wouldn't help with passing the
parameter on the installed system.

Package: debian-installer
Version: 21-Feb-2006

My wife just got a shiny new Fujitsu Lifebook P7120 (thanks to Joey
Hess raving about it on Planet the other day).  I downloaded the latest
nightly build for Etch and tried to install it.  This far too much fun,
thanks to the SATA CD-ROM drive.

You see, to enable support for SATA CD-ROM drives, you have to set the
libata module parameter 'atapi_enabled=1'.  If libata were built in,
that would be the simple matter of passing 'libata.atapi_enabled=1'.
But it's a module, and even in expert mode, libata is loaded before
you get to a shell.  Busybox doesn't seem to have an rmmod command,
so you can't unload it and then load it with the option specified.
So you have to boot with BOOT_DEBUG=3 to get a shell prompt where you
'modprobe libata atapi_enabled=1'.

If this doesn't get fixed, the workaround needs to be documented.
I expect Fujitsu won't be the only people shipping SATA CD-ROMs during
the lifecycle of Etch.

Package: cdebconf
Version: 0.97
Severity: critical
Tags: pending

If you preseed a password question, then instead of the password being
stored in /var/lib/cdebconf/passwords.dat as it's supposed to be and
thus not copied to the installed system, it is stored in
/var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat and copied to
/var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat. While obviously your password
was already exposed by virtue of being in the preseed file, even if
you're using passwd/root-password-crypted etc. then this bug makes it
significantly easier for attackers to attack the encrypted password at
their leisure without first having to get at the contents of
/etc/shadow.

This bug arises because cdebconf 0.97 did not properly migrate a
question to a different stacked database when its type changes, which
happens in the case of preseeding because debian-installer/dummy is a
string template. I fixed this in SVN yesterday, but since this
constitutes a security flaw I think it needs a bug report too.

Re: removal of svenl from the project

Dear Friends,

First of all i apologise for my poor english (portuguese :-))

I follow de dev lists of debian for several months now, my knowlege in
linux whas not so good so i never applyed to be a developper and also
my time isnt much :-(. (maybe i will change that soon)

Being a pleasent system (IMHO The Best), Debian picked my attention
for the software but """also for the ideals""".

I probably shouldnt be wryting to a list where nobody knows me but
here it goes

Now really people, i dot think matters like this being discussed is in
the interess of anyone. One because he gets mad to everyone and says
thing not so pleasent (dont think im trying to excuse that :-)), other
because they feal like my wife when i "accidentally lol" brake my
keyboard against the wall, and start to think that nobody loves them
etc etc etc

Friends, please keep in mind the following:

- -YOU ALL are important has you are, with your deffects and
qualityes.
- -Linux world needs more people not kick out anyone!!! Can whe really
afford that ??
- -Community is some times problems and if you dont like it, please
work
on your own not with anybody else.

This being said i will ask everyone the following:

PLEASE keep up the good work and correct bugs, enjoy developing new
things, help hus linux lovers to bring people from the "dark side" of
it the "bright side" ;-) and dont whaist you time with this matters.

On behalf off the good relations, I as a user, ask for forgiveness to
anyone who think he is offended with sven' s words or acts. Also ask
to sven to join a fighting club :-) all that anger may be in your
profit. ;-)
Seriously i understand you all, i am also a little bit rough some
times but that doesnt mean that i am not a great guy!!!

Sorry for interrupting your work and conversatiosn with this,

Friendly

Jos David

Here another DD that doesn't has time to study the expulsion process.

Right now is my approach to wait for a voting for the actual expulsion

Re: [g-i] freefont vs. dejavu

2006-03-15 Thread Davide Viti
I spent some time working on collecting / stripping a nice set
of fonts for the g-i.
This is (was) the idea (see [1]):

*** ttf-dejavu
 - Cyrillic scripts

*** ttf-freefont
 - Latin
 - Latin-other
 - hi
 - pa_IN
 - bn
 - he
 - vi
 - el

*** ttf-cjk-compact-udeb
 - CJK

*** ttf-farsiweb (nazli)
 - ar / fa

*** ttf-khmeros
 - km

*** ttf-tamil-fonts (TSCu_Paranar.ttf)
 - ta

I started from dejavu fonts and found out that the following glyphs are missing:
04a2
04a3
04ae
04af
04b0
04b1
04d8
04d9
04e8
04e9
2116

all the above glyphs are in the new ttf-freefont package; I wonder if we should 
consider
switching to freefont whenever possible. This would bring alot of advantages 
(both in size
and simplicity).

ciao,
Davide

i had some discussion with Frans Pop today and we agreed that it might
make more sense to have a new sarge d-i with R3 rather than R2. That's
also due to the fact that he can't tell me how long it might take to
build new sarge based d-i packages. (spoke about 2-8 weeks).

So my plan would be, as soon as we get the remaining issue for R2 fixed
(which i expect within the next 2 weeks), we then go without new kernels
in R2 and then have R3 a few weeks later (4-8 weeks), then with new
kernels and new d-i.

Do you think this sounds reasonable for the security team?

That's basically what we've been doing so far, isn't it? Still, I think 
that if a different font really looks better to native speakers than 
freefont, we should in principle [1] use the other font [2]. 

[1] An exception could be if that font is much larger than alternative
fonts.
[2] Within reason of course. We can't let a translator for, say, Dutch
decide he wants a different font. It's only acceptable for scripts
that have separate ranges in the UTF table.

Re: [g-i] freefont vs. dejavu

2006-03-15 Thread Davide Viti
Since we're on the subject, I've found some weirdness
in the translations:

 1
---
Albanian (which is listed among the latin languages)
po file (sq.po) uses U0401 Ё twice (see [1])

U+0401: CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER IO

I found out that there's a glyph tha looks the same
in the latin range:

U+00CB LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS

I can't read Albanian, but looks to me that this should be changed.

 2
---
Kazakh po file (kk.po), uses the following:

 U2013 - EN dash (37 times)
 U2014 - EM dash (once)

the same way as the normal - (002D HYPHEN-MINUS)

 3
---
Vietnamese uses the bullet (U+2022 BULLET) to
list items that in the original msgid are marked with -


 4
---
Macedonian and Ukrainian use the following to quote text:

U201c - Left double quotation mark
U201e - double low-9 quotation mark


Shall we fix those, ask the translators?
I think that characters like the bullet should't be used for the installer: IMO 
those
are meant to be used in applications like Openoffice or similar.

Davide

 [1] An exception could be if that font is much larger than alternative
 fonts.
 [2] Within reason of course. We can't let a translator for, say, Dutch
 decide he wants a different font. It's only acceptable for scripts
 that have separate ranges in the UTF table.

Just to have an idea here's the situation. CJK have not been considered since
it's a separate case and no stripping is needed (I know Kenshi is taking
care of those)

I think we should first check how this comes out in d-i (newt). If it is

If it is not displayed correctly, it should definitely be changed (and

For freefont exclusion (ranges we know are covered by other fonts and

logical (probably easier to document too); for other fonts inclusion 
definitely. I'll leave it to you though to decide what works best.

Hmm. Not sure we need to include basic latin for e.g. arabic and indic 
fonts. Guess that depends on how different the included characters are 
from freefont (both style and size should be considered).
I've no problem with leaving them in initially though.

Next step is probably creating an iso that supports the font switching 
from localechooser to see how that behaves. I can probably do that quite 
quickly when you're ready with font tarballs.

Bug#306476: quick question about Bug#306476

2006-03-15 Thread Randall Wayth

Hi Frans,

OK, I grabbed the latest (March 14th) etch network installer from the 
link location below. I ran the installer with debconf/priority=medium as 
requested. The CDROM detection worked, as did detection of the sunhme 
(happy meal) network cards. There was one non-fatal error: during the 
detect/mount cd phase, an error message saying Error while running 
'modprobe -v sunqe' appeared. This was non-fatal.


Actually, during the detect/mount cdrom phase with priority medium a 
list of modules to modprobe was presented (21 in all, I wrote them down 
if you need details) including a whole bunch of ide drivers which are 
unnecessary for this system (Enterprise 4000). I assume this is by design?


Anyway, the syslog is attached. Sorry for the truncated lines- I had to 
copy/paste from a terminal window. Hope this is useful.


Cheers,
Randall.

To get to this point, I had also tried the latest etch cd installer
which uses a 2.6 kernel. This installer failed at other points (I had
to modprobe esp and it couldn't mount the disk after partitioning, and
something else too...) but what was useful was that it told me that the
module for the scsi controller was called esp. Since this is an sbus
system, not pci, there doesn't appear to be an equivalent of lspci
which would have solved my problem immediately. (If there is such a
thing, please let me know.)
   



There is actually. Recent sparc images include 'prtconf' and use that to 
detect sbus devices.


 


So all's well that ends well. If you think that the failure to load the
correct scsi driver modules during the detect cdrom phase is a bug,
then I'll be happy to submit one.
   



No need to open a new bug, just keep following up to this one.

Could you please try an install using the latest daily image [1], which is 
the candidate for the installer's Beta2 release. See if the CDROM is 
detected and the esp driver is loaded automatically.


If it does not work, could you send us the output of prtconf?

You can also try to add a line 'set -x' in /bin/discover-sbus before 
hardware detection [2]. That should give you debugging output in

/var/log/syslog that shows what's happening.

You can stop before partitioning, so no need to overwrite your exiting 
installation for this test.


TIA,
Frans Pop

[1]http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/etch_d-i/arch-latest/sparc/iso-cd/

[2] Boot the installer with 'install debconf/priority=medium' and, before
   the step to detect cdrom hardware, switch to VT2 and edit that script
   using nano.

Bug#357187: installation-report: etch beta2 install not recognize keyboard mouse

2006-03-15 Thread Mitchell Laks
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.12
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

*** Please type your report below this line ***


-- Package-specific info:

Boot method: CD
Image version:

3/14/2006 release beta etch
Date: Date and time of the install

Machine: 
amd 2400+ dual processors on 
Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW-P  motherboard. 
M$ft internet keyboard, or generic keyboard (non M$ft). tried both  
M$ft intellimouse or M$ft wheel mouse optical  
Partitions: df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred
did not get to partitions. could not use keyboard or mouse!

Comments/Problems:

Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
  and ideas you had during the initial install.

I downloaded fresh etch beta  install disk 3/15. 
checked md5sum. 
burned. 
checked md5sum on burned copy by dd if=/dev/hdc bs=$blocksize count=$count 
conv=notrunc,noerror  |md5sum 
a la url coasterless cd burning with linux.
I booted into install. hit enter at prompt. it asked me for language. I hit 
enter and no response.
System does not recognize keyboard after boot into installer.

I think there is something wrong with debian kernel  2.6.15.

Why?

I have same trouble with this sytem when upgrading a fresh sarge install to 
linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp. 
I get frozen console with no keyboard or mouse activity. I can only ssh into 
the system. 
When i do dmesg |grep input I see only speaker and no keyboard or mouse 
listed.

Thus on this system I get failure of recognition of keyboard or mouse by 
debian linux-image  2.6.15.  

More detail:
 
I just did a fresh sarge install, desktop packages selected.  I upgrade to 
sid. (apt-get update ;apt-get dist-upgrade)
 with 2.6.8-2 kernel system works fine. (i dont bother to configure Xorg at 
this point, i  use console and disable gdm)
I then try to apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7-smp (same problem with 
install of -k7 or -1-486 2.6.15 kernels too). 
The new kernel is installed, and then  when i reboot  - no response to 
keyboard or mouse.  I can ssh into system and it works fine. I do 

 dmesg|grep input
iput: PC Speaker as /class/input/input0


cat /proc/bus/input/devices 
I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name=PC Speaker
P: Phys=isa0061/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=40001
B: SND=6

no keyboard or mouse

I now have same problem with new etch installer!

It is a problem with the new debian kernel  or with udev.

Comments/Problems:

on the whole a very smooth installation, a few notes

* it found and installed over wireless pcmcia card,
however postinstall wireless card was not set up for use

* touchpad/mouse settings no good, (no acceleration and painfully slow
movement) much better response with generic mousedriver, xorg.conf
needs manual reconfigure
The following does not work
Identifier  Synaptics Touchpad
Driver  synaptics
Replaced with
Identifier  Generic Mouse
Driver  mouse
and appropriate settings.

* Humbly suggest, the program screen should be part of the default
installation for those who use it.

* I forget the selections, standard, laptop and desktop used and
work fine, bringing up xorg (and installing gnome desktop)
standard + laptop appears to install xorg, but is not configured
to work as easily when a display manager and alternative window
manager is to be installed.

Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
  and ideas you had during the initial install.

Mediation not Politics (Re: removal of svenl from the project)

2006-03-15 Thread C Shore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Abstract

Please can't we all just get along?  Ok, I'm not quite that naive, but
I would like to see (or proof of previous attempts at) conciliation
before such a highly political approach as a formal expulsion request to
a personnel issue.

Further comments follow,

Andres Salomon wrote:
 I am going through the expulsion process to have Sven Luther removed
 from the project.  The process is outlined here:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/08/msg5.html,
 and I have already completed step 1.

IANADDY but I have followed some of the mailing lists for a while and
this is ludicrous.

 Sven's behavior has always been combative (and some might argue
 hostile), but this is beyond what is acceptable.  He threatens bodily

Sven is certainly not quiet, however from what I have seen of type of
response his suggestions and posts get, he is justifiably frustrated.  I
am personally surprised he hasn't gotten disgusted with the project and
left, or greatly reduced participation, of his own volition, as others,
most recently 'Joey', have done.  Perhaps it is for the same reason I
will be helping with the debtags tagging (regardless of whether or not
that can lead to being a dd), namely believing in the ideals of the
Debian Project.

I think he feels personally attacked by rejections of his ideas, but I
haven't seen anything other than initial knee jerk rejections of his
ideas either, even ones that later are accepted.  He also does something
that I wouldn't, which is to be a highly active participant in the
public forums.  Personally I prefer to spend time working on projects,
and leave mailing lists and such as tertiary or lower in importance,
however a preference is all that is, not The Way Things Should Be(tm).

I think mediation by a neutral third party would be useful here, and
would be far more constructive than attempting to expel Sven.  With the
exception of the quote Andres posted, I haven't seen sven be abusive
(emotional, yes, abusive, no) and I've seen a lot that of responses and
behaviour on the parts of developers like joeyh that would tend to piss
me off too.  (The difference is that I'd probably just say 'the h*ll
with you', and work where I was appreciated).

I don't think Sven is anywhere near perfect, but I haven't seen any
attempt at a peaceable solution either.  Perhaps my history doesn't go
far enough back.

If Sven was willing to accept the DPL as a mediator, would those who are
complaining about him also do so?  And, what, besides disliking his
communication style, are the beefs with Sven?  And if that is the
primary beef, what would 'make it better' without eliminating his
ability to argue for his ideas (which seem to get dismissed out of hand,
but to this outsider seem to make sense)?  Has there been any attempt to
work with Sven on his communication style, or, as seems to me, has it
been primarily hostility on the other side as well?

Please can't we all just get along?  Ok, I'm not quite that naive, but
I would like to see (or proof of previous attempts at) conciliation
before such a highly political approach as a formal expulsion request to
a personnel issue.

Cheers,

Daniel

 Macedonian and Ukrainian use the following to quote text:

 U201c - Left double quotation mark
 U201e - double low-9 quotation mark

Jutta Wrage has recently made a sumarisation of the correct quotation
marks needed for each language.

Jutta, could you enlighten us?

 Shall we fix those, ask the translators?
 I think that characters like the bullet should't be used for the installer: 
 IMO those
 are meant to be used in applications like Openoffice or similar.

I tend to agree, but maybe we might want to hear Clytie's oppinion.

Bug#357187: not recognize keyboard mouse

 I now have same problem with new etch installer!
 
 It is a problem with the new debian kernel  or with udev.


Or hardware that can't handle the initialisation.


When you see the Debian swirl and the 'boot:' prompt,
then hit a function key, e.g. F1, and read the instructions.
It says something like 'noapci' 'no_thingy',
boot with that option and please report your milage.

Bug#357187: installation-report: etch beta2 install not recognize keyboard mouse

2006-03-15 Thread Christian Perrier
severity 357187 normal
thanks

Please do not overflate severity for installation reports.


 I downloaded fresh etch beta  install disk 3/15. 
 checked md5sum. 
 burned. 
 checked md5sum on burned copy by dd if=/dev/hdc bs=$blocksize count=$count 
 conv=notrunc,noerror  |md5sum 
   a la url coasterless cd burning with linux.
 I booted into install. hit enter at prompt. it asked me for language. I hit 
 enter and no response.
 System does not recognize keyboard after boot into installer.
 
 I think there is something wrong with debian kernel  2.6.15.

Please look into the installer documentation and especially the boot
parameters section. IIRC, there are  sections there that explain
pôssible methods to circumvent such problems which happen on some hardware.

Bug#357188: Package: installation-reports

2006-03-15 Thread Christian Perrier

 on the whole a very smooth installation, a few notes
 
 * it found and installed over wireless pcmcia card,
 however postinstall wireless card was not set up for use

I leave this opened in case this could be reassigned to a d-i package.

This is actually the only item I find relevant to the installer in the
report.


 
 * touchpad/mouse settings no good, (no acceleration and painfully slow
 movement) much better response with generic mousedriver, xorg.conf
 needs manual reconfigure
 The following does not work
   Identifier  Synaptics Touchpad
   Driver  synaptics
 Replaced with
   Identifier  Generic Mouse
   Driver  mouse
 and appropriate settings.

This should be reported against the xserver-xorg source package.


 
 * Humbly suggest, the program screen should be part of the default
 installation for those who use it.

This should be reported against the screen package but honestly I
see no reason for it.


 
 * I forget the selections, standard, laptop and desktop used and
 work fine, bringing up xorg (and installing gnome desktop)
 standard + laptop appears to install xorg, but is not configured
 to work as easily when a display manager and alternative window
 manager is to be installed.


I don't understand the point here.

I booted as ordered

install noapic nolapic

as per F6.

I also tried

install noapci noapic nolapic

(notice you talk about noapci while F6 in installer talks about noapic nolapic 
I tried all variations :)

I even tried no_thingy just for fun.

No change - no keyboard activity! 

I should mention that this machine has run installers for woody, and sarge 
without problem in the past. This is no apic or lapic or noapci problem.
It is only having trouble with the 2.6.15 kernel! 

I have done 2 sarge installs on the system in the last week. 
All is ok until I install 2.6.15 kernel either via apt-get 
or via dpkg of self compiled the debian way.  2.6.8 kernel works

( aside: I bet it is udev (i hate udev - it has been messing me up for 6 
months)).

Thanks for being there!
