Bug#317165: Bug no longer applies to upcoming beta2

I tryed different key combinations to switch to Cyrillic layout but failed. Maybe d-i now uses different Ukrainian keyboard layout? Maybe one that uses windows keys for swither? (I have no that keys). I tried to reproduce this bug with netboot image built on 20060330 and the bug is still there. I tried to run installer in Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian languages with default keyboard for each of those languages. D-I was ran until it tries to configure network. Then option to ocnfigure network manually was selected. Then I rtied to enter some Cyrillic text. Results: 1. For Ukrainian and Belarusian I was not able to enter any Cyrillic text because I was not able to find switcher key (all keys Ctrl, Alt, Win, Menu were tried). 2. For Russian after pressing right Ctrl key I was able to enter somthing that is not Latin - that something was displayed as XX, where X - hexadecimal digit. It probably was some single-byte encoding (i guess it was KOI8-R). 3. Ukrainian was tested with install24 with the same result. 4. /var/log/syslog says that keymap ua was selected and contains a lot of warnings unknown keysym. I assume this is with a daily built CD-based image? If it was a netboot of floppy image the reason could be there. Nothing has really changed with regard to keyboards in d-i. If there have been changes, they must have been in console-data (where d-i takes its keyboard definitions from), but I see no real changes in its changelog. The only cause I can think of in d-i is maybe a difference between the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. There have also been some changes in localechooser that could maybe cause this. Tracing this will probably take a bit of work (unless anybody else has a better idea of the probable cause). To narrow down the cause of the problem, could you see if Cyrillic characters work with the following: - daily built image booted with install - daily built image booted with install24 - Etch Beta1 image booted with install - Sarge official image booted with linux - Sarge official image booted with linux26 For each case, please check in the syslog what exact keyboard type and keymap were selected: 'grep kbd-chooser.[0-9]*.: /var/log/syslog'.

That would be interesting, since the B50 is exactly what those corean guys have all this trouble dealing with. Odd. We installed from a floppy using the woody netinstall CDs by just following the instructions found at http://www.kutilek.de/technik/debian-rs6k.en.php You reqlise that sarge was released almost a year ago now, and that debian-installer has almost nothing to do with the woody boot-floppies, right ? :) There is no floppy support on either sarge or etch debian-installer for powerpc prep or chrp boxes right now, only the unofficial powermac oldworld miboot floppies. and I don't recall anything difficult(*). The only OF capable graphics card I have is an IMSTT card which refused to work in the B50 so we did it all using serial console. I should be able to provide a system.map of the booting kernel so people can figure out what's missing in the stock kernels. The problem was not the kernel, but it seems that yaboot-installer or prep-installer, or plain dd was not able to create a booting system. Solution is to fix partman-prep, and see if yaboot-installer behaves then, or to see if the excessive ramdisk size created by initramfs-tools caused the compressed kernel + builtin initrd to cause trouble with the OFs installer. Or maybe simply that the addnote thingy is broken or something ? I don't really know. I am able to make the prep machines bootable with simply dding the kernel with builtin ramdisk the prep partition Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#360074: installation-report: ipw2200 wireless driver badconfigured
the ethernet and the wireless cards seem to work rightly and it seems that they are configured ok However, I still have to run (as root) /sbin/ifup eth1 and /sbin/ifdown eth1 for the wireless, anf /sbin/ifup eth0 and /sbin/ifdown eth0 for the ether card Is it that way the normal one? or should they be done automatically (by udev) after detecting a change in the physical wireless switch? thank you very much vicente -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debian and others installation
I have recently attempted to install the debian-net-install, Ubuntu 5.1, Kubuntu 5.1 and Knoppix 4.0 on separate occasions but to the same machine. The machine is not very fancy, FIC VA503+, 500-K62 and 384 MB. I would like to report problems I had. I get many comments that the VA503 board is trash, but they (I have 2) have worked well for me. After service pack 6A, NT started to lock up on it, so I went to Win2K but after a service pack I started getting lock-ups again where it appeared that the IDE controller did not respond. Linux has worked well, as Knoppix will run for months before I reboot. 1) I have a HP PSC 1315 printer attached to a USB 2.0 PCI card, and all recent Debian based versions died during the install as long as the printer was plugged in. A message came up about initializing or checking the USB and that was the end. There were no errors: it just never did anything else. If I unplugged the printer and hit the reset button, all would work. I refused to do that on Knoppix 4.0 (it is bogus fix), so I am back at Knoppix 3.8. 2) The Debian net-install did not set X up so that I could use the features of my monitor. The greatest resolution it would give was 800x600 (I tried the reconfig thing for X later and it never changed the settings). I had the etc directory from a Knoppix 3.8 install so I copied the X configuration files from it to get the resolutions I expected. The Debian file seemed to be missing quiet a few lines. 3) I had changed from a PCI network card to a 3c515 card in order to add another IDE PCI controller. None of the versions found the 3c515. The net-install used it, but there was no network connections on subsequent reboots. When I reinstalled Knoppix 3.8, it did not find it either, so I had to add my own script to do a modprobe 3c515 and ifup eth0 on every start-up. Suse 10.0 and Fedora 4 find the network card. I think I answered the Suse question about my workgroup incorrectly so it would never use the card, but ifconfig always showed it. Debians network configuration seems a lot better. 4) I have a Sound Blaster SBAWE-64 ISA card. This card is never seen during install or boot (Suse and Fedora do see it). So I added a modprobe snd-sbawe (I think it is correct) to my start-up script. Soapbox time. I have written software and I do not understand how Linux can be so finicky. I would think that the installation would be tested using idiots like me to verify that it is going to work. My wife thinks I am nuts: her windows pc just keeps running and I am always having to do something to fix a problem on the Linux pc. I have the HP PSC 1315 connected to the Linux box because xsane works so much better and is so much faster than the HP application running on the Win2k box and I have the process to get windows to print to the Linux PC down to a science. I had Samba working great on my Fedora 4 install, but I am going to spend hours (that I should be spending on something else) trying to get it right on Knoppix (it does not log into the windows machines properly).

Well you have to get the monitor and video card settings correct.

I think I answered the Suse question about my workgroup incorrectly so it would never use the card, but ifconfig always showed it. Debian's network configuration seems a lot better. Well remember you have to fiddle with the isapnp config to activate the 3c515. Last time I messed with that it involved echo'ing some stuff to /proc/isapnp to turn on the card and set it's ports and such. Or perhaps if the bios has 'pnp os' set to no, the bios will take care of it for you. 4) I have a Sound Blaster SBAWE-64 ISA card. This card is never seen during install or boot (Suse and Fedora do see it). So I added a modprobe snd-sbawe (I think it is correct) to my start-up script. Sound cards is a problem for udev/other things. The installer doesn't care since it doesn't affect getting the system installed. Soapbox time.

In fact, it does not even get to that point. It was not even possible to continue with other tasks since the braindead installer insisted on me having to partition the disk although that had been done including making filesystems already. What was left to do was assigning mount points which, to my amazement, appears to be impossible without having partman write the partition table which it has NO business to play with whatsoever during that stage of system preparation. Partman (or whatever code it is that believes disk management is what it must control) should just be assigned to _that_ particular task and nothing else: partitioning a disk. Making filesystems and assigning mountpoints should be done elsewhere especially considering the fact that I actually booted into ``expert'' mode (where I expect to be given the freedom that this label may imply). So, in short, how do I tell the installer which block device to mount where WITHOUT it even touching the disk ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

On Friday 24 March 2006 17:20, Anton Zinoviev wrote: I suppose that you were able to fix #301668. Can this bug be closed now? Sven committed a patch to parted-server in r34986, which is marked as closing #353432. I'm not sure if this is actually related to #301668, but it looks as though it may be. Colin has reviewed the patch in r34986 and said that he does not think it will hurt anything, but he's also not sure if it will fix the issue. Last I heard Sven had not tested his patch, so I have no idea if prep support is now fixed or not. As Sven has now left the d-i team, I doubt that he will continue work on this. On IRC Sven indicated that he would expect palo partitions on hppa to have the same issue, but I was unable to reproduce his problem for palo. On hppa I have seen another issue with the palo partition. If I install Debian on a hard disk and later also install it on a second hard disk, the type of the palo partition on the first hard disk will be changed from palo (f0) to linux (83). Sven also commented that his patch is not really a solution, but more a workaround. I understood from him that the current use of flags (?) is not optimal and that better, more structural support for prep and palo partitions is still wanted and possibly requires changes in libparted. pgpCa574gIxnf.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Bug#317165: Bug no longer applies to upcoming beta2
I tried to run installer in Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian languages with default keyboard for each of those languages. D-I was ran until it tries to configure network. Then option to ocnfigure network manually was selected. Then I rtied to enter some Cyrillic text. Results: 1. For Ukrainian and Belarusian I was not able to enter any Cyrillic text because I was not able to find switcher key (all keys Ctrl, Alt, Win, Menu were tried). 2. For Russian after pressing right Ctrl key I was able to enter somthing that is not Latin - that something was displayed as XX, where X - hexadecimal digit. It probably was some single-byte encoding (i guess it was KOI8-R). 3. Ukrainian was tested with install24 with the same result. 4. /var/log/syslog says that keymap ua was selected and contains a lot of warnings unknown keysym. So, this bug is something like cannot enter non ASCII characters in *first* stagewhich is pretty much different from the original report in #317165. #317165 was about not being able to properly display languages *in secondn stage* when an encoding different from the default one is chosen in the first stage. Which is why I proposed closing it, as we no mor ehave any secodn stage. There are possible *other* glitches: -no switching to/from Latin keymap for cyrillic because the switcher keys do not work in first stage: #343304 which you reported -incorrect display of non latin characters entered in first stage dialogs: #350275 assigned to cdebconf But, about #317165, I think it's better closing it as we have bugs opened for other issues. Agreed? PS: while digging in cdebconf and kbd-chooser BTS, I found a bunch of old bugs, some of which being for sure over for weeks, even months. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#360288: installation-report: Disk partitioning and making filesystems are two distinct tasks - NOT one!
severity 360288 normal thanks Quoting Christian E. Boehme ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Package: installation-report Version: installation-reports Severity: important Please do not overflate bug severities since the braindead installer insisted on me having to partition the disk Please do not insult free software developers when you have not contributed yourself to the development (even if you have, this is rude behaviour). This only risks to make us ignore your remarks and send them to the waste bin. I suggest you consider running the installer in expert mode as you're obviously a deep expert of these thigns and choose to load the partitioner and partconf udebs which, IIRC, do pretty much exactly what you want. But, anyway, installing on existing filesystems is not supported because we don't want to guarantee that the installed system will work if these filesystems already contain data.which means that the only supported way to do so would be installing on existingempty...filesystems. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Resultados 4o Periodo. Encuesta 5o Periodo. Integridad Pública. Candidatos Presidenciales
INTEGRIDAD PUBLICA www.integridadpublica.com RESULTADOS PERIODO 4: 02-Marzo-2006 / 17-Marzo-2006 Observamos el descenso de Calderón en la imagen general del panel de opinantes. Tanto madrazo como AMLO se benefician con este descenso.Mi opinión personal es que la campaña de Calderón es muy pobre. Hay una sobrexposición en la TV y totalmente egocéntrica. Todo es: "Yo tengo..", "Yo soy...", "Yo voy a..". Esto es muy cansado y no vende nada. Además, Calderón no está posicionado en la opinión pública. La única posición que está buscando es la de ser la opción del miedo a que AMLO sea Presidente. Veo muy poco futuro a este posicionamiento que ni siquiera ha logrado.Madrazo sigue la misma campaña y no ha logrado quitarse la opinion de ser altamente desconfiable como persona. Sin duda está muy bien posicionado como el candidato de las corporaciones y del status-quo. Garantiza que el PRI seguirá siendo la salvaguarda de todo lo corporativo: banqueros, industriales, sindicatos etc. Su problema es que estas son las primeras elecciones Presidenciales en que no habrá voto corporativo.AMLO está desde hace varios años fuertemente posicionado en el voto popular y en el descontento social por una política económica altamente concentradora y sin crecimiento. Con una habilidad política muy superior a sus adversarios sigue marcando la agenda de la campaña y todo el mundo político está esperando su siguiente movida. Además es un gran superviviente de situaciones sumamente difíciles que le dá un halo de invencibilidad: Salió airoso del ataque de los videos, se enfrentó abiertamente a la autoridad del Presidente de la República y del Presidente dela Suprema Corte de Justicia y los derrotó, desairó a Carlos Slim, ataca de frente a Salinas, desairó a los banqueros en su reunión de Acapulco etc. Sus adversarios lo quieren colocar como un candidato autoritario, peligroso,desconfiable etc. Yo no sé si estos adjetivos sean ciertos, lo que si me queda claro es que es un extraordinario estratega político y tiene el carisma, el lenguaje y la oferta política clara. Muy reconfortantes las opiniones acerca de la administracion de justicia en el país. A pesar de que se acepta que el marco legal no es necesariamente justo, dos terceras partes de los opinantes confían en los operadores del sistema de justicia . Este es un grán resultado. Esta pregunta la hice a principios de los años noventas y la respuesta fue radicalmente diferente: dos terceras partes opinaron que era preferible huír o pagar mordida. Ojalá y tenga comentarios de ustedes. Foro de discusión Ver ResultadosLo invitamos a participar en la nueva encuesta del 5o. periodo y dar su opinión a cerca de los candidatos presidenciales.
