[RFC] Adding characters found on Dutch keyboards to needed-characters
Hi, In build/needed-characters/nl.utf I've added the following characters: §±£ The first two are found on normal keys (~ and :) on Dutch keyboards and should therefore IMO be available. The third is under altgr+7, but is of course a normal key on en_GB keyboards. IMO such characters should be available even if they are not strictly required for the installation: a keyboard should just work. Optionally we could also add: ¹²³¼½¾ These are found under altgr+1 to altgr+6 on Dutch keyboards and so less easily accessible. They are printed on the keys though. There are some other characters that are missing from other (somewhat random) locations: €¢¶¦ Adding the EUR and Cent signs seems to make some sense, less sure about the others. Argument would be basically the same: a keyboard can be expected to work correctly. The cost seems extremely minor. What policy have we been following for this for other languages? The README currently says but if you know the installer will never have a message containing a given character (such as the Euro sign), please leave it out to save space, but maybe we should add that characters directly available through keyboards are OK?

Bug#490899: user-setup-udeb: way to (easily) *not* create a user, but do the root password setup
Package: user-setup-udeb Severity: wishlist Hi Would be nice if there is an easy way to skip creation of an user account but still do the rest of the task user-setup-udeb usually does. IE, when I entered the root password and then leave the username blank (login name), it currently displays a warning (fine), but then jumps back and tries to do it all again. It should please ask something like Maybe you want to go without a normal user account? and then skip the user creation. And if you only ask that in case no login name was entered it will only be displayed to very few users, so not distracting most people. Yes, one could enter some foo=bar during boot, to preseed some value and pass by that. But - sometimes its hard to do that (broken kvm over ip not letting you enter all characters is one reason), so it would be nice if it can be skipped during d-i run too. -- bye, Joerg Getty LOL die Telefonnummer vom Arbeitsamt Mönchengladbach ist echt 404-0?

Re: [RFC] Adding characters found on Dutch keyboards to needed-characters
Quoting Frans Pop ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): What policy have we been following for this for other languages? The README currently says but if you know the installer will never have a message containing a given character (such as the Euro sign), please leave it out to save space, but maybe we should add that characters directly available through keyboards are OK? As the README says, the policy was set for characters meant to be *displayed*. But, as you say, since that policy was setup, there have been more places where input of non ASCII characters indeed makes sense (IIRC, the policy was established when we still had two stages, so for instance, the username was type in 2nd stage). So your proposal to add to this all characters that are potentially typed on various keymaps makes sense. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Addition of speakup modules causes build failure
The speakup modules were supposed to have been added in the last upload, but actually were not because a required part of the change was missed. I've just tried adding them, but doing so results in errors because apparently both loop-aes and speakup modules depend on loop_blowfish, loop_twofish and loop_serpent. I suggest the person who took responsibility for applying the patch sorts out this mess. Please check your changes before committing/uploading! Is it really that hard to at least check that the udebs you wanted to add actually exist in what you upload? 'debc changes file' is enough...

If not, I think I'd personally prefer dark red over dark blue with dark grey. Another thing you could look at is to make this extra color appear a bit more in the theme than it does now, for example as the background color around the border or for the border itself. That would make it look a bit less random. In the end it's probably just a question of trying a few things and finding something that looks decent. Leaving it as it is now is also an option of course. Basically I just noticed it and it struck me as illogical.

Re: Reusing existing partitions
On Tuesday 15 July 2008, Andrew Pollock wrote: So, is there a correct way of accomplishing this with d-i? Currently, we'd been running an early_command that erased the first partition, and then we preseeded d-i to use the largest free space. That seems to be causing a second swap partition to be created. If you repeat this process too many times, the partition table starts to look ridiculous :-) This is probably the simplest workaround. I think you should be able to avoid the extra swap by specifying a custom recipe that just does not contain a swap partition to be used with the free space option. You may have to add a custom hook script somewhere to get partman to use your existing swap. Should be as simple as creating a flag file in the appropriate dir: /var/lib/partman/devices/$device/$partition. The key file here is named method with content swap\n. Normally swap partitions are formatted by default, but omitting the (empty) format flag file should work too. I expect the other files in the partition dir to be recreated automatically. Of course you will have to identify what's the correct dir somehow. Cheers, FJP signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Changing device names DELL ProLiant 1950
Hello, I wanted to install Debian 40r3 on a DELL ProLiant 1950. The RAID system is recognized as /dev/sdb and no /dev/sda available. So Grub and fstab get a configuration for /dev/sdb during the installation. When the system reboots in the new installed system the harddisc is visible as /dev/sda while the first time it was /dev/sdb. So all device paths are wrong. I can fix grub menu.lst and fstab and everything is working, but I want to do a preseeded installation. Is it possible that the different kernel, module and/or module konfiguration in the d-i initram-fs is causing this? Is there a workaround? Regards Roger P.S.: The same result with LennyBeta2. -- Pt!

Bug#486549: The single partition present on a CMS minidisk is not supported (s390/s390x only)
I have just been informed by the current maintainer of zipl that CMS minidisks are now supported by zipl as a /boot partition, provided that the dasd_diag driver is not used for the /boot partition. This is a minor technical correction to previous information stated in the problem log. It does nothing to change the basic problem, which is that the Debian installer supports only cdl minidisks and has no support for ldl or CMS minidisks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: [RFC] Add support for shells in the graphical installer
On Thursday 10 July 2008, Jérémy Bobbio wrote: I'd really like to see this before forming a final opinion, especially as it has an impact on the graphical installer as a whole. Ok, here it is: I've played around with it quite a lot and here are my comments. I realize that this is an intermediate solution that will be improved later, but I'll still just list everything I have for discussion. I don't expect everything to necessarily be solved. Main thing still is that it's great to have a graphical shell and that it would be a real plus if we can get it ready in time for Lenny. At the same time, it should IMO be solid enough to be included. First and most importantly: I've not seen any crashes or weird glitches. Integration into the installer has some problems I think. I really likes the tabs idea in your previous test image especially because that also offered a scrollable syslog screen _with_ correct display in foreign scripts. It also makes the shell available in parallel to the installation process instead of temporarily replacing it. However, I do see that this implementation is simpler and there were issues with the tabs, so post-Lenny for that is fine. It would still be nice if an extra menu item could be added View system log that shows a tail of 500 lines or so. What I really don't like from a usability PoV is the requirement to type 'exit' to leave the shell and the IMO unnecessary two-step exit (first 'exit' and then 'Continue'). Is it technically not possible to just quit the plug-in after typing exit? Why is the Continue button needed? Could an active Go back button be shown instead of the Continue that (after a warning) just kills the plug-in if it is clicked (the mouse is still active after all)? I fail to see the point in the End of shell process. message, even if the two-step exit is technically unavoidable. If you do want to keep some message, then I'd suggest a simple Click Continue to proceed. which is much more helpful. Most important issue: position of Execute a shell in the menu is incorrect after anna (before partman instead of after finish-install). Without having looked at it, I'm fairly certain that this is just a dependency issue: you probably have rescue mode depending on the udeb that provides the postinst for Execute a shell. It looks like you have duplicated the entire existing rescue-mode udeb. Is that really necessary? Can't we just make sure the correct thing is done by testing the current environment in existing scripts, or only activate the correct hook scripts through such tests? It would also reduce the duplication of strings. Solution is to split them: one udeb with plug-in and one with postinst. Note that you may not be able to depend on the plug-in at all for rescue as we don't want to pull it into regular images! I think that for rescue you should just test if it's available or not and in that case the split would not be needed either. Other problem related to rescue mode: a shell gets executed without any warning just before rescue mode (possibly because the wrong position in the menu). Also, the informational message before entering the rescue shell is a lot less informational than the one for a normal shell. It misses the info on how to exit for example. Why not reuse the message shown by the existing rescue shell? Other issues/suggestions: - home and end keys don't work while editing a line - scrollback is only 100 lines while it's 200 on VT2/3; would be good to be consistent there - if possible repeat the type 'exit' to close the shell and return to the installer info somewhere on the screen while the plug-in is running; looks like there's little room for this though - why is the position of the End of shell process different for regular shell and rescue shell (for the first it is indented by 7 or 8 chars) Nice things: - keyboard changing OK (same issues as in G-I in general) - Cyrillic in 'nano /var/log/syslog' very readable - Chinese looks reasonable: fairly sharp but some characters are much brighter than others (varying from very dark grey to white); guess antialiasing would be needed? - Hebrew is there and nice; no idea if it's drawn correctly. Templates: +Template: di-utils-shell/workaround-gtk +_Description: In the meantime, a shell is still accessible by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2. Use Alt+F5 to get back to the installer. Alternatively, you can open a shell by pression Ctrl+Alt+F2. Use Alt+F5 to get back to the installer. I would make that: In the meantime you can make use of the debug shells available on VT2 and VT3. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to VT2. When you are done, use Alt+F5 to return to the installer. +Template: rescue/initrd-shell/title +_Description: Interactive shell in the installer environment + Do we really need to specify this? This is not a new string! It's already used in the regular rescue mode. IMO this duplication should be avoided.

Fact remains though that rescue mode displays a lot less informational message than the normal shell.

I could only turn it off by unplugging it! I tried to follow a suggestion from the debian-user mailing list, typing install pci=noacpi instead of just pressing ENTER. The machine ground to a halt again, with the last few lines: ACPI: bus type pci registered ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: using PIC ... PnP: PNP ACPI: found 17 devices PnPBIOS: Disabled by ACPI PNP PCI: Probing PCI hardware ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0.
