Re: Installing elilo on MacMiniIntel fails
Hi, After electing elilo (GRUB/LILO were presented as alternatives) installing elilo stalled at 50%. I had accepted to install into the only presented partition (/dev/sda1, about 200 MB FAT32 partition, partman reported 3.1 kB free memory before.). This first partition was created my the Apple DiskUtility. /dev/sda6 where I installed the base system was formatted as an ext3 24 GB FS using the Debian installer. try running gptsync. Then installing lilo to partition / grub to partition shoud work. They are looking at FAT tables, not GPT, so you need to clone the data from GPT to FAT, since parted will reset FAT (to the letter of EFI spec). see http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook, which seems to be the most actively maintained out of all intel-mac related pages. We should probably start thinking about consolidating them. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

That means that not being able to resize NTFS partitions (that start at an odd sector) is blocking the release. No, but offering the option to users with the result that data on the partition will be destroyed (or at least unusable for the average user). If the underlying issues cannot be solved then we need to find a way to disable the resize option for Vista NTFS partitions (which is possible, but I want to wait for reactions on #379628 and #380226 first). pgpvMX9DcGno9.pgp Description: PGP signature

Also, the log is kept in memory for most of the install and will therefore be lost on loss of power. As this is very unlikely to be implemented, I'm closing the report. Cheers, FJP ---End Message---

Re: d-i translation
Quoting 孫緯然 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi Frans, I would like to participate the Debian-installer translation work. The language I intend to translate is Chinese-Traditional. My account name in alioth is suenr-guest. Please grant me the admission to this project. Well, we already have Tetralet, Asho Yeh and Gary Yang registered as translators for zh_TW. So, for me thse are the coordinators of the translation effort and everything should be discussed with them. We indeed prefer avoiding to approve too many people for the same translation team for commit access. 2 or 3 committers is usually the maximum. Of course, if the wish of the Traditional Chinese translation team is that you take some part to this, Raymond, there's no problem, but I'd prefer getting some agreement by Tetralet and/or Asho Yeh before. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Some strings in the list of languages aren't displayed properly, which
means the installation probably can't be done using the affected
languages.
Indeed, the code in localechooser that decides to display one or
another set of languages is pretty incomplete. It decides this based
on assumptions about the display but these are probably incomplete:
Suggestions to enhance this are very welcome, Mr President..:-)
# Find the display level
#
# No framebuffer and text interface --level 0 (only ASCII)
# No framebuffer and other interface --level 1 (only Latin1)
# Framebuffer and non graphical interface--level 2 and 3 (no combining langs)
# Framebuffer and graphical interface--level 4 (all langs)
# Depending on these values, we use different templates with a different
# list of languages. These lists are built at the package build-time
# from the contents of the second field of languagelist entries
#
# We do this only when the language was not preseeded
# If the language was preseeded, we assume the user was
# smart enough to preseed it to a supported value

Re: Switch to 2.6.17 kernel udebs (was: D-I Beta 3 - release today)
On Friday 11 August 2006 17:09, Rick Thomas wrote: Will this fix the problem of the kernel not booting on OldWorld PowerPC Macintosh? Hello Rick, I'm sorry, but I honestly don't know. It sounds to me that there has been a regression in the kernel that results in your system not booting any more. It will be good to test when images become available so we know for certain. I expect powerpc daily builds to switch to 2.17 sometime later this week. Holger Levsen reported on August 9: The image from there from the 23rd of July worked for me on a g3 oldworld, so give it a try. Some time after that the miboot build broke, it should be working again since August, the 4th (iirc), but I haven't had the time to test that myself. This seems to contradict this report, which may be related to your experience: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379218 I wonder if this could be related to the amount of memory the box has. It might be worth comparing this for working and non-working boxes. Currently there are plenty of people reporting issues for powerpc oldworld, but nobody seems to be working on tracing or fixing them. As I've indicated before, the effort for that needs to come from the powerpc community in Debian. As far as I can tell none of the issues are fixable in the installer, but I cannot really judge that in all cases. Someone who is able to do that should reassign the bugs to the packages that are causing the issues (in a lot of cases I would expect that to be the kernel).

Bug#382989: installation-report: Installation in finnish, almost OK
On Monday 14 August 2006 16:32, Tapio Lehtonen wrote: Some glitch during installgui, error message flashed too fast to read. Someting about not being able to pan. Looked like after that some text were in english and not finnish anymore. Hmm. Does not ring any bells. Anything in the syslog about that? If not, could you try to reproduce? Note that some messages not being translated during package installation (by tasksel) is a known issue. Keyboard was not finnish in Gnome Desktop, had to change to PC 105 and Finnish layout. Not sure about this. This may be due to localization-config currently not being run. In that case this should be resolved hopefully before Etch. Note that the keyboard layout probably also was incorrect in the installer itself, which is a known issue. Character set was UTF-8 only, added ISO-Latin-9 to get interoperability with older systems. UTF-8 is new default for Etch. I took screenshots during install, but can not view them, not eog and not gthumb can show them. Strange. They should be ordinary PNGs. I have been able to view them in the past. Installer offered only american and british wordlists, wfinnish and ifinnish should be there (altough proofreading finnish works badly until http://www.lemi.fi/voikko/ is in Debian). Suggest you get the Finnish desktop and Finnish environment tasks updated... Check in aptitude for their current contents and compare with other languages. Very nifty install. Especially the finnish translation was top quality. Very funny :-) Thanks for the report. pgpOv3PjwXFZ6.pgp Description: PGP signature

However, I had both of them installed on my system and was wondering why I could not print.

See bug#381881 for the details of my installation. I have also seen during tests for Beta 3 that after a Desktop task installation (using a mirror, so all packages available), you end up with lpr installed and cupsys-bsd not installed, even though it is listed in the task. pgpKqzn8VwOm8.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#382689: debian-installer: d-i etch beta3 tries to access /dev/md/0p1
Thomas Arendsen Hein wrote: I booted d-i etch beta3 (full CD, x86) in expert mode. The system has two S-ATA disks (sda and sdb). When playing around with the installer I deleted two existing RAID partitions and recreated them. d-i detected existing data (a LVM pv) on the RAID partition and I deleted it and created a new one in the same place. Now the installer presented me an error message that it can't access the device /dev/md/0p1. The device /dev/md/0 existed. You seem to be trying to create a partition on top of a RAID device. As far as I know there is no standard way to do that (except for using LVM over RAID). Instead you should have the partitioner use the whole raid device for a filesystem. Since I'm not clear from your description exactly what you're doing (the use of unclear terms like RAID partitions doesn't help), I can't be more specific. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#382976: installation-report: Should lpr or cupsys-bsd be installed by default?

However, I had both of them installed on my system and was wondering why I could not print. My question is: if cupsys is being installed by default, shouldn't cupsys-bsd also be installed instead of lpr? I have reinstalled my desktop machine last week using the beta3 installer. See bug#381881 for the details of my installation. I have also seen during tests for Beta 3 that after a Desktop task installation (using a mirror, so all packages available), you end up with lpr installed and cupsys-bsd not installed, even though it is listed in the task. lpr is installed by debootstrap since it's currently priority standard. IMHO there's not much excuse to include lpr in standard. I assume that aptitude is not balking at removing lpr and installing the conflicting cupsys-bsd for some reason. I don't know why. Getting a log of the output of this (which is exactly what tasksel runs) on a frsh system would probably tell why: aptitude -q --without-recommends -y install '~t^desktop$' '~t^gnome-desktop$' If I run that here, it removes lpr and installs cupsys-bsd with no problem though. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#382889: marked as done (debian-installer: non-optimal order of operations)
As far as I know there is absolutely no way to have user-setup being run before partman in the current way the installer is working. Is that actually true anymore? user-setup only touches /target in user-setup-apply; user-setup-ask seems to not need /target at all, and user-setup-udeb doesn't have any special dependencies either. Of course, if something like bug #364526 is implemented, user-setup could come to need a /target to run password checking code, or the like. But for now, it doesn't seem to need it. It seems that it could run user-setup-ask before localechooser, if we really wanted it to. :-) Before partman is certianly a possibility. There are certianly d-i components that need a full /target and/or partitioned system before they can ask their questions. clock-setup, apt-setup, pkgsel, and grub-installer come to mind. However that doesn't seem like a good reason to close this bug out of hand. That said, I don't actually see any benefit from running user-setup before partman, as opposed to before apt-setup. In either case it's running as part of a block of questions that all happen quite close together with minimal wait time for the user. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#321109: [PATCH] grub-installer password confirmation, debian #321109
On Monday 14 August 2006 16:21, Julian Graham wrote:
Find attached a revised version of the patch that asks the questions
together.
After looking at the patch a bit more I noticed that it conflicts with
current preseeding:
- it does not allow preseeding anymore because it empties password
- the grub-installer/password-mismatch does not really need its own db_go.
Also, when I suggested to combine the two questions into one dialog, I did
not realize that an empty password is a valid option. That makes
combining the questions less logical as 'password-again' would always be
asked, even if 'password' was empty, so I've reverted that. Sorry about
that.
Current preseeding looks at password + a boolean password-crypted to tell
if the password is encrypted or not. This is not in line with preseeding
an encrypted password in user-setup. So I have changed this too.
Because this change of the definition of password-crypted has the risk of
breaking existing preseed files, I have included a somewhat rough check
to prevent disasters.
With preseeding, the following situation also needs to be supported.
Passwords are preseeded, but with different values (typo in one); the
install is being run at critical priority. This would mean that the check
fails and an error is shown, but the user never gets a chance to correct
his entry as the password questions are never shown (being at low
priority).
I think the attached alternative patch resolves all these issues. Could
you please review it and test if this works?
Note that I've also changed the indentation to use tabs only. This is
standard for scripts in d-i as it helps reduce memory usage (1 tab is
less than 8 spaces...).
Cheers,
FJP

The IBM POWER machines can run in virtualized mode (logical partitions), in which case the serial console is /dev/hvc*. but you can also run linux on them directly, and in this case, the serial console is /dev/hvsi*, at least on the p505 i tried this one.

Timezone selection didn't seem to let me choose for central European time like sarge installer did. 2. Left select and install software which I left on the defaults. After installation finished there was an error which was gone after the installer retried installing everything again. Eventually it finished without errors and rebooted resulting in a boot failure because the harddisk does not seem to be bootable. I'm an absolute beginner. Installed sarge last week the same way without any such problems. I had to use vim a couple of times though to get the Diamond Viper 550 to work with something better than just VGA and to get the mouse wheel working on my Genius Netscroll+ serial port mouse. But that was because i had no idea when the installer asked me that serial is ttyS0, the Diamond Viper 550 has an Nvidia RAGE TNT, the keyboard is a pc104 and my monitor IIama MF-8221 (Vision Master 21) has horizontal 25-85/vert 50-120. Everything worked fine, later i even downloaded and installed the nvidia driver to get OpenGL working too. But later when trying to upgrade from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 and nvidia specifics stopped working and i could not get it to work again. Requiring testing for nvidia legacy driver anyway, i thought it would be simpler to download the etch beta 2 and hoping to get such options directly. But i have not seen them, but maybe i would have if only the system would boot. If there is anything special you would like me to run on this system to provide feedback, then just let me know. I'm used to computers for about 30 years now but this is my first time with Linux. Having seen a bit of Debian so far with the above mentioned sarge installer last week, I'm actually planning to run Debian only on some of my computers here.

Re: [PATCH] Better flexibility to control system base installation
On Saturday 12 August 2006 10:35, Otavio Salvador wrote: Does anyone has comments about it? (Ignoring the debug stuff which was already removed in a later version of the patch.) This patch gives me the feeling that functionality is being added because it is possible, not because it is really needed. IMO there this patch at least adds a certain amount of redundancy. I can understand the desire for a specific debootstrap script, but I feel adding support for _preseeding_ INCLUDES and EXCLUDES is redundant, especially when targeted at CDDs: - CDDs should be able to use the include and exclude files instead of preseeding; - includes and excludes may not even be needed anymore now that you can use a completely tailored debootstrap script instead; - Colin recently already added the option to preseed installation of extra packages in pkgsel (pkgsel/include), which is a much more safe place to install additional packages. For the debootstrap script, I wonder if that really needs to be preseedable or if it would be better to have base-installer look for a script with a fixed name in a fixed place. It is only really of use to people who will probably already be creating their own images. IMO with all these different options to include, exclude, customize, etc. we are starting to run the risk of making d-i a maintenance and documentation hell and also of not being able to support people anymore who use these options incorrectly and thus create problems for themselves. Do we really want to make it this easy for people to mess with the base system installation? Of course, others may disagree with me. I have no problem with that. If the option to preseed includes and excludes _is_ added, I suggest to make it so that both comma and space separated lists are accepted (see Colin's implementation of pkgsel/include).
