It would unload the modules detected by udev and since we provide a small set of modules it looks useless to me.

Just the dmesg output should be enough. I'm also reassigning this report to the Debian kernel team, but your best bet to get this issue looked into and solved is to contact the upstream developers directly. Note that they may ask you to try with a more recent kernel than 2.6.22. One thing you could try before doing that is to try an installation using a netboot image.

I suspect this may be what's causing the error.
The size of the LVM partition will be determined as a total of the

It includes a script that creates a ppp0 interface with a debconf ui and then brings up ppp0 so that installation can continue with an internet connection. Speedtouch includes some firmware that are non-free. But we could find a way to include them anyway. A special non-free netinst iso ? Or a lobby against the manufacturer ? This modem is obsolete but a lot of people still have it (at least in Europe). Do you think my explanations are suffisent ?

On the same screen there is also some warnings gdk_window_set_keep_above() and ...below() not implemented. After removing the relatime option and tried again the partitioning the same happened.

Package: discover
Version: 1.5-2
Severity: wishlist
I have a laptop. My configuration never changes. Discover runs on every
boot, and I boot many times a day. Each discover run takes like 30s
time.
It was very good to have discover when I installed the system. But now
it is annoying me.
I would like to have some option like runonce, so that it detects all my
hw it can find on installation, or on a new release of discover, then it
just edits my module configuration (ex. /etc/modutils/discover for 2.4,
/etc/modprobe.d/discover for 2.6), adding some aliases, like
alias eth0 e100
alias sound-slot-0 maestro or whatever.
So that next time I don't have to run discover to load a bunch of unused
modules, taking my memory, and taking a lot of time to detect the same
hardware configuration again, but when I want to use something the
corresponding module gets loaded automatically.
If there are some modules that can't get loaded automatically (I am
really sorry such things exist) those can be added to /etc/modules so
that they are loaded at boot always.
Regards,
Gabor

It doesn't run all the time. It runs at bootup, detects the modules to
load and loads them, and then is essentially done.
There is /etc/modules.conf for loading modules.
Hardware is constant, it doesn't make sense to check for changes
on each boot. In fact, it is even annoying.
Please disable discover after installation.
It would even better to remove the package.

[RFC] Splitting D-I translation in sublevels: ready infrastructure
Quoting Christian Perrier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): After a discussion we had in -boot back in November, which involved Frans Pop and myself, mostly, I worked on a new version of the synchronization script (scripts/l10n/l10n-sync in SVN), that allows splitting messages in sublevels for all core D-I packages. .../... (see original message for details) I realize that I didn't explicitely mark this mail as a Request For Comments. Before I activate this feature, I wanted to give you people opportunities to react and bring input. Of course, the proposal might be so perfect that no comment at all is needed, which is good for my ego, but slightly leaves me in the dark... So, again, feel free to comment. I plan to activate this feature as of next week-end (5 or 6th January). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It's on my ToDo list, but I've been giving partman work priority. Could you describe where exactly to find the new scripts and give an overview how the new l10n sync procedure looks (merge, update, split, commit sequences)? First elements: The script is scripts/l10n/l10n-sync, the same one that's used right now. As long as the --split switch isn't used, the behaviour is the current one: 1 big master file. If --split is used, it needs to be given a number of sublevels: --split=5 for instance. In short, the process is the following: - initialize variables - command-line parsing - initialize a few more variables, depending on command-line sitches - sanity checks - loop over packages and svn up then debconf-updatepo for each (lines 325-385) - built ONE big templates.pot file (lines 487-430) - create the N sublevel templates.pot files. The key command is msggrep, line 441. It greps for # :slx: where x is the sublevel number (lines 432-459) If a string isn't marked, it ends up in sublevel 1 (line 458) - depending on whether --split is used or not: (lines 461 to 601) - sync packages/po/*.po with packages/po/templates.pot - for each sublevel, sync packages/po/sublevel$i/*.po with the respective templates.pot files AND grab translations from lower level files (this allows identical strings to always get the same translations across sublevels) - if sublevels are used, rebuild master files for each language in packages/po. These will not be committed. (lines 603-620) - for all packages, update debian/po/*.po from the single master file (620-end) That part has indeed now changed The tricky parts are then indeed: - creation of the multiple templates.pot files. Involves using msggrep - syncing high sublevel files with lower sublevel files, allowing identical strings to get identical translations - the rebuild of a single master file even when using sublevel files. This is indeed meant to speed up the process a lot as, otherwise, each PO file for each package would need to be synced with N different master files, which is very time consuming/ So, again, feel free to comment. I plan to activate this feature as of next week-end (5 or 6th January). I'd appreciate it if you'd wait until I have actually reviewed it. No problem. There's at least one things I have my doubts about: the fact that strings can be in multiple sublevels. IMO that is bound to cause problems at some point and it should be possible to filter that out. Well, the key has been to decide that the lower sublevel will then get priority. So, if translators start with these sublevels, these strings will already be translated in higher sublevels when they'll come on these. Indeed, there haven't been that many changes to the sync script to implement this. You'll also notice that the number of sublevels is not harcoded. We can decide to have more...or less at some moment. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That shouldn't be too hard and would allow us to reduce the memory footprint not only on your user case but in general usage too. Might be vearing off topic for this bug, but here's a wrapper I worked up (not yet tested in the d-i environment). It looks nice. I think that code might be more clear if you change the cleanup step to be a funtion and it will make simpler to spot what is being done in each case. Yes, this does improve readability. I see no point in using aggresive policy. It would unload the modules detected by udev and since we provide a small set of modules it looks useless to me. Do you see any possible usage? No - it was just something I was playing with (see my comment in the code warning people not to use it). Also, I only think it makes sense to include a policy setting if its an option - e.g. an environment variable. If we find only only one policy useful, the others should be dropped to reduce code size/complexity. Attached is a new version that incorporates your factoring suggestion, and does away with the policy options. -- dann frazier modprobe-and-clean.sh Description: Bourne shell script

Re: hwclock is not working correctly on compaq 6510b, compaq presario c700
2007/12/17, Geert Stappers [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I seen that also on some hardware. Adding the option `--directisa` did help for me. Thanks. It helped me too. Fedora core 8 with 2.6.23 kernel was able to setup this correctly on 6510b. Yes, the error is a combination of kernel and hardware. Would that mean a newer kernel will fix that? Or should we maintain a list of know hardware to use --directisa option? I was about to report it as a bug against util-linux. Is it a known issue? Should I go ahead and report it?
