Secondary drive
I'm using Debian on a NSLU2. I'm planning to add a secondary harddrive. Will I have to do anything special for this to work? Will the NSLU2 find the new harddrive automatically? How does it know which drive to boot from? Kia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [long] An attempt to improve the code of the GTK+ frontend

I never knew that it would take me so much time, but I now consider

Thanks for all the work Jérémy!
I'll not comment on the really technical side of the changes, mostly
because my grasp of C is not sufficient to have an opinion on them.
However, in general the refactoring seems like a good idea to me.
Indeed, the code is technically well written / formatted
--- 8 ---
We could use the following process to integrate it:
* discuss, comment and test;
Ack.
* make the needed changes to fe_gtk's branch;
Ack.
* once we agree that it can be integrated in the main branch,
write small patches (or incremental commits) to slowly transform the
current code into the result of the process.
Hmm. If the changes are so structural, I'm not sure that the effort of
creating patches to have a gradual changeover is worth it. I'd suggest
just getting the code in your branch into the state we want it and then
just merging it into trunk in one commit.
Probably, because of the huge number of changes, a single commit is a
more viable option
I am open to normalize the code before integrating it. But I would
be inclined to get a broader opinion about at least:
} else {
[...]
I find the former much more readable!
I agree that this would be an improvement. Colin?
I agree: code in GTK frontend is not very clean and needed some reworking
2.3 Code has been split in different files
The longest file have a total of 638 lines (including documentation
and header) vs. 1790 lines for the current code.
The stats at the bottom show an increase in lines of code of 1000 lines,
or 70%. That seems excessive, but I suspect the true increase is more
subtle.
Could you provide sloccounts:
- excluding comments
- excluding completely new functionality (such as the entropy plugin
That would give a more realistic basis for comparison.
2.5 Separation of code specific to the debian-installer
The screenshot module is compiled conditionally as I see no reason
to enable this feature on standard desktops.
Agreed.
I see that in current jeremy's proposal the screenshot button is
disabaled by default: i think we must somehow allow the user to take
screenshots using the mouse only.
In the past, that screenshot facility revealed to be very useful in
reporting issues with complex fonts, isuues that may arise when new
languages are added to the installer or we switch to new fontsets.
So, i suggest to put a small Camera icon in the bottom-left corner of
the screen (pherhaps displayed only in the case the installer is started
in expert mode ?)
3.5 fe_gtk_set_title() reactivated
The implementation of the set_title method of cdebconf was changed
to the default one in r43372 to avoid spurious title changes during
pkgsel.
Note that the TITLE command is deprecated in debconf anyway, although
there is at least one location in D-I (lowmem) where it is currently used
and, AFAICT, needed.
Because this looks like it's more related to the generic debconf
architecture, i cannot properly speak about it.
4.1 Banner adapts to various screen size
The banner now adapts to any screen width. The logo is aligned on
the left of the screen, and its right side is filled with the color
defined in LOGO_BACKGROUND_COLOR.
I'm not sure that this is a good solution. With the current bannersetting
a fixed background color works, but this would not be true for more
complex banners as proposed in #414785 or [1], or with banners for
derived distributions using a completely different banner (such a Dzongha
Linux [2]).
Basically, hardcoding a color seems very wrong to me.
fjp's observation are correct, probably a better solution has to be seeked.
4.2 Main window adapts to various screen size
WINDOW_HEIGHT and WINDOW_WIDTH constants were removed, as the screen
height and width are are now dynamically retrieved through
gdk_screen_get_height() and gdk_screen_get_width(). The frontend now
works a bit better on higher-resolution [11].
IMO supporting higher resolutions will require a redesign of the
interface, for the following reasons:
- the text area becomes too wide, which means that lines of text become
too long which reduces readability
- the buttons get very isolated at the extreme bottom of the screen
In other words: yes, supporting higher resolutions is a great goal, but
not without making sure that the total presentation is still useable. IMO
we'd need to limit the effective usable area of the screen, for example
by defining a rectangular container within which all other elements are
positioned.
We'd probably also need a somewhat more interesting background outside
that container than our current grey.
Probably a good idea would be taking advantage of hi-resolution

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
When building svn debian-installer on an etch system, the
/etc/apt/sources.list are taken, and the etch component is changed to sid.
This fails when you have etch security sources, since there are no sid
security sources, and i guess may be problematic for other non-official
repositories too.
Please consider removing the security line, which will be present on each etch
install, or consider, after the etch-sid replacement, checking and removing
each line which is not valid, instead of failing like it happens right now.
Friendly,

A netinst CD from June 13th (post etch release) wouldn't install a base

intuitive in what was going wrong). After looking into the problem it
turned out to be a GPG key issue. After invoking a shell and doing a
'chroot /target' and 'apt-key update' (which required me to install
the 'debian-archive-keyring' package) all worked as expected.
According http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Today

What needs to happen is that the debianinstaller (d-i) should really
include 'apt-key update' as part of its normal install procedure to
make sure that installations will always work irrespective of when GPG
keys change.
I would like to do over two years a netinst without Internet access.
(in other words: I think `apt-key update` by default is not a good idea)
BTW: someone should add 'd-i' as a package so that we can 'reportbug'
straight to the d-i developers.
FYI: installation-reports goes straight to the d-i mailinglist.
('debian-installer' also )

The Debian installer is able to detect the network device but it is unable to configure the network. I have tried DHCP, DHCP with hostname, and manual configuration, providing a fixed IP address, network mask, etc. Nothing works. I was able to complete the minimal install without IP access. I also tried using a Linux driver for the Realtek controller that was provided on a CD by the motherboard manufacturer. I copied the driver to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ and rebooted but this did not solve the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

[D-I] New strings in D-I: small but important translator's notice
Most D-I translators will notice the appearance of new strings in D-I.
Some are related to Joey Hess' work to have D-I use NTP to set the
clock up.
Some others are related to work on apt-setup to make it use
volatile.debian.org in addition to security.debian.org and allow the
user to choose to use these services or not.
Please note that, as usual when some new templates are introduced, it
may take some time to stabilize them. So, of course, you can update
them if you can't stand being below 100% (Which Is Good) but don't be
mad if you have to re-update them a few times. You've been warned..:-)
Be careful: some of these templates use variables. Formerly, the
variable was ${SECURITY_HOST} and it has been modified to
${HOST}. You should notice this as D-I PO files now use gettext's
--previous option.
Also, please take care TO NOT USE poedit. It breaks PO files with #|
comments as explained on Rhonda's blog
(http://alfie.ist.org/blog/2007/07/20#msgmerge--previous_and_poedit.en).
If you insist on using poedit, please fix your files before committing
them. Committing broken files may make you lose your commit access.
