How to recognize that the install is a floppy install?

2006-09-01 Thread Christian Perrier
In #269972, I developed a patch which could be used by localechooser
to warn users that the install runs in English temporarily even if
they choose another language.

This patch is meant to be used on floppy installs where all
translations  are removed from the initial udebs for space reasons.

The only remazining problem is for localechooser to recognize that
it is running a floppy install.

Sven did suggest to set some variable for floppy installs et build
time but indeed I don't know how to do this.

Would anyone else have an idea ?

Indeed, if not already existing, such a mechanism for D-I to always
know which type of install it is running could have other uses

I tried to install system in Ukrainian language but chose locale
uk_UA.UTF-8 to be default on new system. After reboot to second stage
console was setup to use UTF-8 as encoding (locale was uk_UA.UTF-8 as
expected). Then termwrap probably tried to start jfbterm and failed
(it was not present, termwrap only loaded framebuffer module). After that
base-config was run with no cyrillic letters at all.

Bug#376635: tasksel: tasks icon infrastructure.

 I haven't thought about it..
 
  Btw, could we use country/region flags to the l10n tasks?
 
 I don't see the point, since those tasks are not user-visible.


While we're at it, Joey, do you think that we should keep them
translatable?

Currently, this is quite a load for translators because as soon as
someone adds a language task, they have to update their
translations. (Usually 2 fuzzy strings per new task)

This, for something that is indeed not used...:-)

Of course, if we have some future plans to allow displaying the l10n
tasks optionnally in the future, we should keep them
translatable. IIRC, there is a bug report about this, especially to
allow selecting more than the only language tasks that are selected
because of the instalaltion language.

Do you think that you could, or someone else, have a look at this
someday, and add a tasksel question (medium priority) to select
additionnal l10n tasks?

Bug#385233: Debian Netinstall 3.1r2 cannot detect cdrom on Intel D945GNT motherboard

2006-09-01 Thread Dave Bechtel
Unfortunately I had to scrap the install due to continuous errors that were
popping up with the RTC clock, and inability of Vmware Server Win32 client to
access the virtual-machine console.

I will try to file bugs against these issues.  BTW, AFAICanTell, my DVD burner
is IDE instead of SATA.

From my standpoint, it would be beneficial for the distro to concentrate on
getting Etch working flawlessly with Vmware out of the box; I highly recommend
Sarge as a minimal Linux host, but its kernel is having trouble with newer
hardware.

( I can volunteer for testing if you like; still have some free space on the
host HD. )

See:
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=424107#424107

My best Sarge success story to date involves an ancient dual-200MHz rackmount
SCSI server running 2.4 kernel with 768MB RAM and Vmware Server(!).  Box
refuses to boot any 2.6 kernel, but vmware can run a 2.6 guest.  With Sarge,
it runs well with 2.4.27-3-686-smp and Vmware Server response is good with a
single Win2kpro guest. :)

Keep up the good work, good ol' Sarge helped to save that server from being
junked.  Debian should always be a good alternative for lower-end systems that
other distros won't boot or install on - low memory systems especially.  As I
said in the vmware posting above, I ain't worried about no fancy GUI installer
- I just want it to Work. ;-)

Error in Installation Guide, amd64 for EM64T?

2006-09-01 Thread Tapio Lehtonen
Installation guide says in Chapter 2:

If your system has a 64-bits AMD64, Intel EM64t or Intel Core 2 Duo
processor, you will probably want to use the installer for the amd64
architecture instead of the installer for the (32-bits) i386
architecture.

Is this really true? What is installer for i64 good for, then?

Or does Intel have in addtition to EM64t prosessors another kind of
64-bit prosessor that is not compatible with amd64?

The ia64 architecture is not the same as the EM64t architecture.

The ia64 architecture is completely incompatible with i386, it was
developed by Intel and HP to be much better than the previous Intel
architecture, but it was not very accepted, because it was so
incompatible with i386.

So, I guess the Installation Guide is ok.

Bingo, the chip for ia64 is Intel's _original_ 64-bit processor called
Itanium.  It is incompatible with code written for i386 (unlike AMD64
and EM64t, which were specifically created to be compatible with 32-bit
x86 architecture), although I think it can run x86 code through an
emulator.  For this reason it never became very popular.  (The fact that
it was absurdly expensive and hard to write an optimizing compiler for
didn't help.)

Perhaps the section of the installation guide for ia64 should
specifically say something like This architecture is NOT suitable for
the Intel EM64t or Intel Core 2 Duo chips -- for those use the 'amd64'
architecture.  It may already do so, I haven't checked.

It's an unfortunate accident of history, which we now have to live with,
that the Debian arch name for AMD64/EM64t is amd64 -- it was
originally going to be the brand-generic x86-64 but that was rejected
after a big fight for some reason that I don't recall.  Then later Intel
came out with an AMD64-compatible chip.

To summarize,

Debian arch Chipsets
--- 
i386x86 (for x strictly greater than 3) [0]
ia64Intel's Itanium 64-bit chip
amd64   x86-compatible 64-bit chips (AMD64/EM64t/etc.)

[0] Debian no longer supports real 80386 chips because the GNU C++
library uses inline assembly (or something like that) that isn't
supported on them.  (I forget whether or not 80386 is supported in
Sarge; it definitely was in Woody and will not be in Etch.)  Since APT
is written in C++, a Debian installation on 80386 would be essentially
unmaintainable.

Bug#385629: debian-installer: Encrypted filesystem setup and swap

2006-09-01 Thread Mike Hommey
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

I gave a try to the new installer beta, and I must say I'm impressed. A
lot of stuff can be done from the installer and that's really great.
Thanks for all.

But I've been puzzled when I tried to setup an encrypted filesystem.
When I chose to setup an encrypted filesystem, i was told it was
not allowed to do it with a clear swap space.

But creating an encrypted swap space requires to do all the stuff
manually...

Probably the installer should make it easier and propose to switch the
swap to an encrypted swap instead.

Sorry if the report lacks details, I did that several hours ago and
don't remember the details. And I can't try the installer again right
now to check.

When asking the initial user password, it would be a good idea to check

It could be checked at the first input, avoiding the user to type twice

Not sure that's easily feasible. Do you mean leaving the user an

to actually *find* that IP by some other way)?

Bug#385617: Fallback for dns-issues would help

2006-09-01 Thread maguno
Quoting Christian Perrier [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

  During this install I had to access internet through another computer
  (through NAT/ipmasq), and dns resolv did not work (quite possible due to
  me). But it would be great if there where a fallback to ip-numbers for
  debian ftp-servers in situations like this.

 Not sure that's easily feasible. Do you mean leaving the user an
 opportunity to enter the IP of the mirror (ie leaving him/her the task
 to actually *find* that IP by some other way)?

No, AFAIK there is a 'database' somewhere on the install cd, from which you can
currenlty choose a mirror (from the menu).

Add last known ip adress for each mirror in database as a fallback.

But IMHO its more of a polish bug than a showstopper, if its hard to implement
you can always to down prioritize the bug :)

  Another minor issue was that the default debconf frontend does not seem
  to be installed. Please change default or make the default install by
  default.
 
  debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
  debconf: (Unable to load Gnome -- is libgnome2-perl installed?)
  debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
  Preconfiguring packages ...
  --
  Inspection showed that indeed, libgnome2-perl was not installed by default.


 Hmmm, strange. I don't remember Gnome being the default interface for
 debconf. Joey?

Sorry, I should have been more verbose.

I tried it through what I saw as the default installation method, i.e synaptic
(from the admin menu in gnome). Perhaps it is synaptic that somehow changes the
defaults. (My comment still applies in revised form w.r.t. synaptic)

No database. Only the debian mirrors host names as of the official
mirror list at the time the package has been built.

This would mean adding IP addresses of these hosts at the build moment
somewhere...which I find pretty awkward (hardcoding mirrors IP
addresses in the installer).

A fallback is probably doing what I was sugesting and, indeed, we
don't need anything more. This is already feasible by choosing the
enter custom mirror entry, then put the IP address of that mirror
when prompted for the name.

Bug#385650: tasksel: The kde-desktop task should list kaffeine(-mozilla) media player

2006-09-01 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.53
Tags:patch

The kde-desktop task should list a media (video/music) player program,
like the gnome-desktop task is already doing.  Here is a patch to
enable kaffeine.  I picked the mozilla plugin package to pull in
kaffine and at the same time provide the plugin for those using
firefox.

Package: tasksel
Version: 2.53
Severity: wishlist

The following openoffice.org-help-* packages recently appeared and should be
included in the relevant language-desktop tasks:

openoffice.org-help-bg: bulgarian-desktop
openoffice.org-help-km: khmer-desktop
openoffice.org-help-mk: macedonian-desktop
openoffice.org-help-pl: polish-desktop
openoffice.org-help-ru: russian-desktop
openoffice.org-help-sk: slovak-desktop
openoffice.org-help-sl: slovenian-desktop

I also checked openoffice.org-l10n-* packages but all those that are
relevant have been included in the language tasks with the recent Big
Cleaning.

I didn't make the changes directly in the SVN because last changes in
tasksel have shown that more coordination with the OOo team might be
needed...and also because I leave for holidays..-)

Bug#385629: debian-installer: Encrypted filesystem setup and swap

I gave a try to the new installer beta, and I must say I'm impressed. A
lot of stuff can be done from the installer and that's really great.
Thanks for all.

But I've been puzzled when I tried to setup an encrypted filesystem.
When I chose to setup an encrypted filesystem, i was told it was
not allowed to do it with a clear swap space.

But creating an encrypted swap space requires to do all the stuff
manually...

Probably the installer should make it easier and propose to switch the
swap to an encrypted swap instead.


I expect that partman-auto-crypto will be added to d-i during next week. 
It will automatically setup a system for you with encrypted partitions 
(except /boot).


Hopefully that will make things easier

Indeed.


 Then tell me if things improve? With logs, if not.

Same problem with debconf error.
Logs are here:
http://gcolpart.evolix.net/debian/d-i/syslog-for-pppoe.2


Still I have no clue... unfortunately.
I am definetly now shooting in the dark: do that previos modification
and also add set -x at the beginig of the script, after the
#!/bin/sh line, and do the buggo dance again.

Abel, it would be a good idea for you to do this set -x thing in
your script, too. I think in your case it would be a lot more helpful.


Someone suggested me to set a local pppoe server so I can test. If I
don't understand what is happening I will try to set one and test (I
never did this before, so I don't know what to expect/how hard it will
be).

Re: How to recognize that the install is a floppy install?

 Would anyone else have an idea ?
 
 Indeed, if not already existing, such a mechanism for D-I to always
 know which type of install it is running could have other uses

We could add this to the /etc/lsb-release file in the installer. Just
tack on a field, like X_BOOT_METHOD=floppy.

I do think we should take care to only use this rarely. Making lots of
paths that are determined by boot type will make testing harder, and
help hide bugs.

Bug#385650: tasksel: The kde-desktop task should list kaffeine(-mozilla) media player

2006-09-01 Thread Joey Hess
Petter Reinholdtsen wrote:
 The kde-desktop task should list a media (video/music) player program,
 like the gnome-desktop task is already doing.

Does kde not include a default media player? Note that some of the
recent additions to the gnome task are because gnome currently has a few
holes in their standard apps, so the kde task doesn't need to worry
about filling those holes unless it has the same ones..

Bug#385672: regression report- unlike prior versions, boot hangs unless noacpi =off on Toshiba Portege 7020CT

2006-09-01 Thread Tony Godshall

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20060806

unlike prior versions, boot hangs unless noacpi =off on Toshiba
Portege 7020CT (Intel Mobile Pentium II, 366MHz, 192MB RAM, 7GB hard
drive)

This would appear to be a function of the kernel version used, as
2.6.15 did not hang.

Similar behavior was also observed when a beta-2 install was upgraded
to kernel 2.6.16

Hang point is just past report of serial port detected.

Re: Installing elilo on MacMiniIntel fails

2006-09-01 Thread Junichi Uekawa
Hi,

  $ chroot /target apt-get install refit
  $ /target/sbin/gptsync /dev/sda
  $ chroot /target
  $ lilo /dev/sda3
  (ignoring some warnings from lilo)
  After this the installation continued fine, and I have no a running Debian 
  system.
 
 If we can identify a way to discover if it's truely a MacIntel machine
 we can make it transparent to end user ... let's see if we can do
 that.


dmidecode tells you that it's:

Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
Manufacturer: Apple Computer, Inc.
Product Name: MacBook1,1
Version: 1.0
Serial Number: 4H6231PKU9D
UUID: 9CFE245E-D0C8-BD45-A79F-54EA5FBD3D97
Wake-up Type: Power Switch
SKU Number: System SKUNumber
Family: Napa Mac


Product Name should be enough.


Looking around at kernel patches, they seem to be checking for this also:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/16/18

+static struct dmi_system_id __initdata pci_mmcfg_dmi_system_apple[] = {
+   { pci_mmcfg_force_system, iMac4,1, {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,Apple Computer, Inc.),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VERSION,iMac4,1) }},
+   { pci_mmcfg_force_system, MacBookPro1,1, {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,Apple Computer, Inc.),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VERSION,MacBookPro1,1) }},
+   { pci_mmcfg_force_system, MacBook1,1, {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,Apple Computer, Inc.),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME,MacBook1,1)}},
+   { pci_mmcfg_force_system, Macmini1,1, {
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_BIOS_VENDOR,Apple Computer, Inc.),
+ DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME,Macmini1,1)}},
+   {},
+};
