There are many bugs in the code still awaiting to be fixed and major
work is needed to support HTTP encoding/decoding and to correctly
display non latin languages [1].


Ouch, I think this is going to be a major problem. IIRC, a web page
can have only one encoding, thus we will hit again the Han unification
problem (Thanks a lot Unicode consortium for performing a lobotomy on
the unicode!). If anybody can contradict me, please, do.

Hmm. I'm not totally happy that this happened without coordinating it
first. Luckily it will not break the current graphical installer (as the
udeb was named differently by Dave that the current hacked one).


I think Josselin was reffering to upstream.


  Sometime during summer, GTK+ 2.10 should be released, with integrated
  DirectFB support.

 This has also happened.

At one point you feel like you're waiting endlessly for these releases to
happen, and then you get rushed by them ;-)

 As we want to be able to upload GTK+ 2.10 to unstable as soon as
 possible, we'd like to move the current experimental 2.8 packages to
 unstable.

 Could you tell us what is exactly needed for that without breaking d-i?
 Do we need versioned conflicts with some packages?

The gtk2.0+directfb packages _do_ have the same names as existing
packages, so for that a coordinated upload is necessary.

AFAIK versioned conflicts are of no use for d-i. We just have to make sure
that udebs that depend on the cairo and gtk libs are rebuilt ASAP after
the new libs hit unstable.


Here come the fruits of our work, the udebs will be partly built at
the same time as the regular debs enter unstable ;-). the only thing
which needs building, AIUI is cdebconf(-gtk).
The rest are already ok.

Network problems with testing using netinst CD-image

2006-07-04 Thread Svante Signell

Hi,

I'm trying to install Debian testing (preferably sid) using the image:
debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso dated March 14. I cannot get the network
to function. Starting the installer in rescue mode and following the
menus, configuring the network manually (no DHCP in the local network)
and getting to: Fetching the release file the install halts after a
timeout! (some way to escape from here would be nice). Going to the
shell and looking at the modules loaded, the /etc/network/interfaces and
the /etc/resolv.conf files all seems OK, but no connection to the LAN or
the WAN via the gateway. Any hints? This setup works perfectly on this
box already: module tulip, local address:192.168.0.3,
netmask:255.255.255.0, gateway:192.168.0.1, DNS resolver supplied by
external addresses from the WAN via the gateway.

The only command connecting to the network I found is wget. No ping, ssh
etc. How to debug using wget only?  

(Maybe I should get the netinst iso file from the daily builds to get
access to sid/unstable, but this is unimportant wrt the network.)

Thanks,

 We also have to ask FTP masters for removal of the hacked source packages

 I had just come to the decision to delay this until _after_ the d-i Beta3 
 release, mainly because when I tested the image Davide created last week, 
 I noticed some problems for which I've just sent a mail [1].
 I'd like to await reactions from Davide and Attilio before making a 
 decision. Can you give me till the end of the week?

How about uploading these packages with new names for the udebs? This
would allow us to fix those names at the same moment.

configuring wds...help needed

2006-07-04 Thread Vinod L R

hi,
iam trying to configure wds in my
debian sarge board.i tried to configure wds from the link mentioned below
:-

http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/WDSBridge

The problem
iam facing right now is that ,when i configure my soekris board ( with debian
3.1) as a normal Access point, my client (Red hat linux with proxim
wireless card) is able to ping.but when wds is configured this is not
happening.

my question is
,if it is related to iptables configuration , then how do i flush iptables
and disable ipforwarding.

again using the
command below gives me this warning :-

root# iptables -t
nat -Fip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Teamiptables v1.2.11:
can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to

Automatic partition doesn't create the 800K boot partition, so there
is an error message after the base install.

When returning to manual configuration, you can't edit partitions,
because the automatic partitioner uses parted and manual
partitioning is done via mac-fdisk.

During the partitioning phase, I was informed that I didn't have and 
that I would require a New World boot partition, but I was given no 
tools with which to create one. It turns out that this is a function of 
mac-fdisk, to which there appears to be no interface in the installer.

Ultimately, the only method of creating this special partition is to 
drop to a console and run mac-fdisk manually.

Other than that, plain sailing.

Hi Vinod,

For flush the rule of IPTables
you need to use

#iptables L ;

so first check that your IPtable is installed or not ..

else install from apt-get and you need to
compile your kernel also.

After that try your same configuration .

 And ixp4xx?

Yeah.

 Hmmm. Things are more awkward than I expected on the debian-cd end;
 the base list of udebs to be installed onto the CDs is generated from
 the d-i Packages.gz files in the main archive. Once the archive is
 updated to not mention the 2.4 bits, then debian-cd will automatically
 drop them.

OK, excellent.  I'll request the removal of the 2.4 udebs once beta3 is
out and then debian-cd should automatically get upaded.

 The list of normal .debs that land on CD#1 ready for installation onto
 the target system is generated by tools/generate_di_+k_list. I _can_
 remove 2.4.x bits from that list easily, and I will.

Good.  Thanks.

 Apart from the fact that mips/mipsel have no 2.6 images in etch, so
 doing this right now will cause no kernels to be installed on the CDs
 for the weekly/daily etch builds. I'll have to add conditionals into

I'd certainly appreciate it if you would not change such behavior without 
discussing it first on the list.


regarding single MULTISELECT questions, the simple (one line) attached 
patch makes the question handler behave like this


-If a checkbox inside a row has focus (small circle around it with many 
common GTK themes of GTK default theme) ENTER or SPACE key pressure 
toggles the check and, to go forward, the user has to TAB until the OK 
button receives the focus and then he can use ENTER or SPACE to 
activate it.


-If no checkbox has focus, then an ENTER or SPACE key pressure 
activates the OK buton while no check is toggled.


When a MULTISELECT question is first displayed, the iterator is placed 
at the first row and no check has focus, so that if the user presses 
ENTER or SPACE the OK button is activated.


When user presses UP or DOWN, the checkbox in the line over / below 
the currently active one gets focus.


In any case, a double click on a row (outside checkboxes) makes the OK 
button to be activated.

 As I said before, the file seems completely superflous (after looking
 at the acting_filesystem functionality in
 partman-target/update.d/filesystems).

The file is part of the generic infrastructure of partman and should exist 
for each file system type (see e.g. partman-basicfilesystems).
The files dropped in that directory seem to be used in the script:
partman-target/update.d/filesystems

It could well be that the file is not needed for pseudo-filesystems like 
md, crypto and lvm, especially as the rules file for partman-md has:
#dh_install parted_names lib/partman

Also, the file seems to be copied, probably when partman-lvm was first 
created, without changing the contents. If it were used, we'd probably 
have seen linux-swap popping up somewhere erroneously.

So, I'm OK with removing the _directory_ (not just the file) from 
partman_lvm and commenting out the line in the rules file.

 Nothing wrong, that's the correct behaviour of GTK+ applications : in
 SVN rev 38009 i set reactivity to ENTER and SPACEBAR and double

  like trees) weren't affected : tomorrow i'll investigate about how
  to fix this.

Colin pointed me to this page:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input-keyboard.html#widget-navigation
which seems to indicate that even in the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines 
2.0 return and space should have different functions, in line with 
how the newt frontend works.
However, for me the Gnome HIG are not necessarily authoritative for g-i. 
After all, g-i is not a Gnome application. It is a fully separate 
application that happens to use the GTK libraries for one of its 
frontends. Consistency between frontends is for me more important.

  IMHO the correct GTK behavior is broken then...
  I'd personally prefer to have the frontend behave like the newt
  frontend in this respect, but I guess that is something to discuss
  with the team.
 
  I'd certainly appreciate it if you would not change such behavior
  without discussing it first on the list.

 regarding single MULTISELECT questions, the simple (one line) attached
 patch makes the question handler behave like this

 -If a checkbox inside a row has focus (small circle around it with many
 common GTK themes of GTK default theme) ENTER or SPACE key pressure
 toggles the check and, to go forward, the user has to TAB until the
 OK button receives the focus and then he can use ENTER or SPACE
 to activate it.

IMO ENTER should still activate the Continue (OK) button in this case 
(or whatever button is defined as the default button).

 -If no checkbox has focus, then an ENTER or SPACE key pressure
 activates the OK buton while no check is toggled.

SPACE should not activate the Continue (OK) button, unless the Continue 
button itself has the focus.


Here's the log of the short discussion I had with Colin about this. 
(Davide did not reply before I wrote this mail.)

[18:47:15] fjp zinosat: What do you think of using enter always as 
shortcut to Continue button?
[18:47:21] fjp My reasons are:
[18:47:28] fjp - consistency with newt frontend
[18:47:52] fjp - having space and enter do the same thing seems stupid 
to me
[18:48:37] fjp - especially in g-i newbe users will use mouse to 
select and are thus less easily confused anyway
[18:52:01] Kamion that would seem consistent with the GNOME HIG
[18:52:04] Kamion 
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input-keyboard.html#standard-shortcuts
[18:53:45] fjp Kamion: What? Having space and enter do the same or 
having enter always select the button?
[18:53:54] Kamion having enter always activate
[18:54:02] Kamion space should toggle checkboxes etc.
[18:54:11] Kamion what's the current behaviour?
[18:54:38] fjp attilio changed it recently so that enter will also 
toggle checkboxes
[18:54:43] Kamion urgh
[18:54:56] Kamion that's definitely contrary to the HIG
[18:55:03] Kamion Space   Toggle selected state of focused check box, 
radio button, or toggle button
[18:55:07] Kamion Return  Activate focused button, menu item etc.
[18:55:13] fjp Yes.
[18:55:46] fjp Except possibly if you extend focussed to 
multi-selection lists.
[18:57:27] Kamion I don't think that's the intention or how GTK 
applications generally behave
[18:58:07]  fjp adds this to the discussion on the list

Bug#376635: tasksel: tasks icon infrastructure.

2006-07-04 Thread Joey Hess

Gustavo Franco wrote:
 I would like to suggest tasks icon infrastructure inclusion. It would
 be useless for readline frontend, but would be good for the gtk
 installer frontend, new gnome-tasksel (porting it to gtk+ 2 right now)
 and probably others in the future.
 
 The basic idea is add the field Icon for each task and ship the
 icons in a architecture all tasksel-icons package (or in
 tasksel-data?). I think that tasksel (readline and dialog frontends)
 can ignore the icons, but somebody else could work on the installer as
 i'm working in a new gnome-tasksel as cited above.
 
 Thoughts ?

I'm willing to add them to tasksel-data (probably there) if someone
contributes a complete and nice set for all visible tasks.

Re: User's guide to partman-crypto

 Meanwhile I also wrote a foundation for new section for boot-new.xml
 (our RM complained it is too empty ;-) which talks about issues with
 mounting encrypted volumes when booting the system. This one is
 attached both as a docbook source and a html page, because the source
 is a bit wild.

Here's a review based on the HTML file.

 7.2. Mounting encrypted volumes
 
 If you created encrypted volumes during the installation and assigned 
them mount points, you will be asked to enter appropriate passphrases for 
these volumes during the boot. The actual procedure slightly differs 
between dm-crypt and loop-AES. 

General point:
You use encrypted volumes here. Would encrypted filesystems maybe be 
easier to understand for readers?

s/appropriate passphrases for these volumes/
  the passphrase for each of these volumes/
s/slightly differs/differs slightly/

 7.2.1. loop-AES
 
 For partitions encrypted via loop-AES you will be shown the following
 prompt during the boot:  
 
 mount: going to use loop device /dev/loopX
 Password:
 
 where X is some number. You are now probably asking yourself which
 volume are you actually entering the passphrase for. Does is relate to

IMO better:
In the first line of the prompt, X is the number of the loop device.

s/asking yourself which/wondering for which/
s/are you/you are/
s/ for. Does is/. Does it/

 your /home? Or to the /var? This is where the notes you wrote down as

s:the /var:/var:

 the last step in Section 6.3.2.4, “Configuring Encrypted Volumes” come
 handy. If you did not note the mapping between loopX and the mount point
 before, you can still find it in /etc/fstab of your new system.

s/come handy/come in handy/
s/not note/not make a note of/
s/mount point/mount points/


 Of course, if you have just one encrypted volume, you do not need to
 bother and can enter the passphrase right away. 

Maybe this could be moved up a bit: just after You are now probably 
wondering...
It could then be:
Of course, if you have just one encrypted volume, this is easy and you 
can just enter the passphrase you used when setting up this volume.

Followed by:
If you set up more than one encrypted volume during the installation, the 
notes you wrote down ...

 No characters (even asterisk) will be shown while entering the
 passphrase.  

s/asterisk/asterisks/
Seems more logical to combine this with the next para.

 Be careful, you have only one try. If you enter wrong passphrase, an
 error message will appear and mounting will continue with another
 volume. Please see Section 7.2.3, “Troubleshooting” below for further
 information.

s/and mounting .../and the boot process will skip that volume and continue 
to mount the next filesystem./
s/below//

 After entering all passphrases the boot should continue as usual. 
 
 7.2.2. dm-crypt
 
 TODO: write something once it works. 
 
 7.2.3. Troubleshooting
 
 * If some of the encrypted volumes could not be mounted due to the wrong
 passphrase, you will have to mount them after the boot. There are
 several cases.   

s/due to the wrong passphrase/because a wrong passphrase was entered/
s/them/them manually/

Should the case for / be listed first?

 The easiest case is with encrypted volumes holding data like /home
 or /srv. You can simply mount them manually after the boot. For loop-AES
 this is one-step operation:   

s/is with/is for/
 
 # mount /mount_point
 Password:
 
 where /mount_point should be replaced by the particular directory
 (e.g. /home). The only difference from ordinary mount is that you will
 be asked to enter the passphrase for this volume.   

s/ordinary/an ordinary/
 
 dm-crypt is a bit trickier. First you need to register the volumes with
 device mapper by running:  

s/dm-crypt is a bit trickier./For dm-crypt this is a bit trickier./

 # /etc/init.d/cryptdisks start
 
 This will scan all volumes mentioned in /etc/crypttab and will create
 appropriate devices under the /dev directory after entering the correct
 passphrases. (Already registered volumes will be skipped, so you can
 repeat this command several times without worrying.) After successful
 registration you can simply mount the volumes the usual way: 
 
 # mount /mount_point
 
 * If the volumes holding noncritical system files could not be mounted
 (/usr or /var), the system should still boot and you should be able to
 mount the volumes manually like in the previous case. Moreover you will  
 also need to (re)start services usually running in your default
 runlevel, because it is very likely that they were not started. The

s/Moreover/However,/
s/services/any services/
s/, because/ because/

 easiest way to achieve this is by switching to the first runlevel and
 back by entering 

 # init 1
 
 at the shell prompt and pressing Control-D when asked for the root
 password.  
 
 * The last case concerns the root partition. When it is not mounted
 correctly, the boot process will halt and you
