How to detect network from custom udeb?
Hello, I'd like to create a custom udeb-module, which shall be executed after the base-installer. I'd like to support 2 different flavours, one without any network and the other with network. For so I don't like to depend my udeb from network. I thought about using debconf, but I did not find any saved question related to network in config.dat ... So how can I best detect, wether the system has any networking? regards Geronimo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

For values for Debian Installer questions you need to look at the database from _cdebconf_ (or more exact cdebconf-udeb), which is: /var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat And obviously you need to check that database in the D-I environment (while D-I is running), although at the end of an installation a copy does get saved on the installed system under /var/log/installer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Although this works well for most situations, there are a few that are not supported by this system. Example is language Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) + country Hong Kong (HK). Selecting that manually will result in language=zh_TW:zh; locale=zh_HK.UTF-8 and country=HK. Preseeding 'locale=zh_HK' will result in language=zh_CN (wrong) and a prompt for the country (with default not equal to HK).

My Default language is English, my country is Russian, and localechooser propose me only en_US locale to set primarily. But I really dislike it! I like en_CA. It's much closer to Russia IMO. (e.g. date format) I know, I can change this later, after installation (and by adding additional locales), but why? ;-)) And what should I do in case I don't need en_US locale at all? I suppose other option there as in language-country option. I can select country where English isn't official lang, by choosing other and then my country from full list.

udeb: illegal instructions with AMD-K6-2
Hello, I have encountered an unexpected problem, of which you ought to take notice. In tracking down another problem with the console charsets, I tried to install debian-503-i386-CD-1 debian-40r8-i386-CD-1 (also older images). on a machine using AMD-K6-2 at 450 MHz, VIA chipset. It has never succeded, in spite of repeated efforts in expert mode. Already at language selection the first illegal instruction errors appear. Some times tzdata-udeb produces statements on illegal instructions, but the install comes to a halt every time when debootstrap malfunctions. A pair of times I managed to get a glimps of further illegal instruction before that final stop. In contrast, the image debian-31r8-i386-CD-1 can indeed be install without problems for AMD-K6-2. I tried this in order to diagnose the problem better. However, when I replace the AMD processor with Pentium MMX at 233 MHz, (changing clock and voltage) then installation of both images proceed without any problems at all! It is my hope that this message will make you cross check the udeb i386-packages for processor dependencies, at least for Squeeze. Please, use a CC inclusion in case you want to reach me.

The installer uses the most generic x86 kernel available in Debian, which is suitable even for Intel 486 processors. So if your system fails during installation with illegal instructions, that indicates a kernel problem, not an installer problem. Please file a bug report against the linux-2.6 source package so the kernel maintainers can look into and properly track this problem. You should include the contents of /proc/cpuinfo in the report. I have no idea if they can/want to solve this, or if they'll decide to leave the processor as unsupported for Debian.

Users in countries with one timezone would then simply get e.g: Europe/Amsterdam other I'm not particularly well versed (understand: I don't know a thing) about this field, but I have some opinion and questions, and you asked for more discussion lately, so here it goes... First of all, I find this discussion very interesting. I empirically settled to preseed my installations with debian-installer/locale=en_HU and console-keymaps-at/keymap=us (I live and work in Hungary, but prefer the UTF-8 English interface), because that gives me correct values for time zone, mirror, locale and whatnot. However, this isn't particularly intuitive nor flexible enough in general. It would be useful to make a list of things which must be set up by the installer, and *then* conceive a set of questions and priorities, from which these things could be derived. (These relations could then be mentioned -- at least to some extent -- in the templates, too.) Once the interested parties agree on these (perhaps not yet implemented) relations, we can discuss the wording. Is the installation language (together with its country variant) the default locale (with which encoding?) of the installed system? Do we support no (C) locale? As we can't rely on the administrator to dpkg-reconfigure locales after installation to get other locales supported, supplementary locales have to be asked, but with a lowish priority (like it's done now, I think). The encoding part of the locale could similarly almost always stay the default UTF-8. I like the above time zone question, but I'd prefer just going with the single choice if applicable (at least on high priority). Same for the mirror selection (not sure about countries without a single dedicated mirror). I wonder what else is determined or defaulted by locale or time zone or similar things, which should be discussed toghether with this bunch. -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Most people working on the installer already know that list and the various interrelationships. (These relations could then be mentioned -- at least to some extent -- in the templates, too.) That is one of the changes I recently committed in localechooser. In country selection dialogs it now says: The country selected here will be used for example to select a default location and time zone Normally this should be the country where you live. Is the installation language (together with its country variant) the default locale (with which encoding?) of the installed system? No, it's more complex than that. Do we support no (C) locale? Yes, we do.

The encoding part of the locale could similarly almost always stay the default UTF-8. That is both the case. I like the above time zone question, but I'd prefer just going with the single choice if applicable (at least on high priority). My current proposal is keep the time zone question simple as users should already have selected the country where they live and thus automatically get the correct time zone. Why don't you give the test image I posted [1] a try and tell us what you think. It should now perfectly support your use case (although the text quoted above may need some final adjustment).

Re: Avoiding display of console-setup dialogs during base-installation

The patch sets the seen flag for the keyboard variant debconf question to avoid its display during base-installer. Question. How is console-setup currently supposed to determine the correct settings when it is installed (and thus configured) in /target? Otavio committed the change [1] that moved the installation of console-setup from - *finish-install.d* in localechooser to - *post-base-installer.d* in kbd-chooser The mistake here may be that it was assumed that the D-I settings would be available in /target, but that is not the case as those settings only get copied to the target environment during the start of pkgsel. So the result is that basically console-setup always gets installed with its default settings... No wonder users are complaining that they don't get the correct keymap set. Pity that despite all the reports from users now nobody ever took the trouble to diagnose this properly (or to test the change before committing/uploading). It's pretty clear when you actually look into it. The obvious solution would seem to be to move it back to finish-install.d, but there's a problem. In hw-detect we apt-install acpi-support-base, so that gets installed during base-installer. And that package pulls in kbd which, if console-setup is not already installed, pulls in console-common and console-data. Not sure yet how to solve this. Maybe we need a late option to apt-install. Cheers, FJP [1] Yes, I did suggest the move to kbd-chooser myself, but not the move from finish-install to base-installer.

Log from the November 16th 2009 D-I team meeting
The (not so) bi-monthly D-I team meeting happened today at 21:00UTC. As usual, the logs are available from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Meetings The attendance was low (Otavio, Marc Hymers, blindvt...mostly lurking, and me) but we could put in light the current blockers for the release: mips kernel udebs that need NEW processing, plus cdrom-detect and di-utils builds and transition to testing. One will also note that it was ack'ed that Frans Pop work on various items more or less related to internationalization were agreed to be incorporated in the release (if that's possible without delaying them) and we encourage Frans to bild and upload them (which might include reverting Colin's changes in tzsetup). On a personal note, I'd like to particularly thank Colin for triggering the discussion that happened about time zones setup strategies even though we finally rule out the changes as they were done. It's quite possible that more discussion happens on this issue and we find even better solutions to all possible situations in the future. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Why? I understand that we can't ship non-free firmware, but why not include the driver for those of us who are able and willing to provide firmware? 4) I was unable to delete a LUKS encrypted disk that I had created on a partition. The installer refused to delete the partition since it was used by the encrypted disk, but it also apparently offered no way to delete the encrypted disk. 5) The showstopper: I installed the entire system (except for /boot) onto LVM volumes in a vg on top of a LUKS volume created out of a primary partition. When I rebooted, the system wouldn't bring up the LUKS volume. The eventual fix that worked is to add this line to /boot/grub/menu.lst: # kopt=cryptopts=target=hda4_crypt,source=/dev/hda4,lvm=lizzie-root root=/dev/mapper/lizzie-root ro This is: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=492790 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522041 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507721 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503062 6) Should installation reports be filed against 'installation-report' or 'installation-reports'?

I upgraded my Debian testing (squeeze) notebook yesterday and various packages were upgraded (among which several xorg packages). Due to dependencies, console-setup-mini was pulled in, as confirmed by /var/log/aptitude : [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] console-setup-mini During the configuration step, various debconf questions were asked: I tried hard to reply reasonably. Today, I booted up the notebook and logged in on the console (I do not use any graphical login manager) and noticed that the keyboard layout was set to US, while my notebook has an Italian keyboard (buying a notebook with a US keyboard is close to impossible down here in Italy...). I thought I messed up with debconf questions, hence I re-ran: # dpkg-reconfigure console-setup-mini The resulting configuration is shown below and translates into the following conffile: $ grep -v '^#\|^$' /etc/default/console-setup VERBOSE_OUTPUT=no ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-6] CHARMAP=UTF-8 CODESET=Lat15 FONTFACE=VGA FONTSIZE=16 XKBMODEL=pc105 XKBLAYOUT=it XKBVARIANT= XKBOPTIONS= Despite XKBLAYOUT is clearly set to it, I still get a US keyboard map on the console (X is fine, instead). I even tried to upgrade to console-setup-mini/1.45 from unstable and I even rebooted the notebook, just in case... Nothing changed: still US layout, no matter what! I tried to issue the following command (going from memory, since the last time I needed to *manually* set the keyboard layout was some 7 or 8 years ago!): $ loadkeys it Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/it.kmap.gz Keymap 0: Permission denied Keymap 1: Permission denied Keymap 2: Permission denied KDSKBENT: Operation not permitted loadkeys: could not deallocate keymap 3 As you can see, it didn't work. Please help! I really cannot understand why setting a non-US keyboard layout has suddenly become *so* hard in Debian testing! What's wrong with my notebook? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages console-setup-mini depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy Versions of packages console-setup-mini recommends: ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-66 Linux console and font utilities Versions of packages console-setup-mini suggests: ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip -- debconf information: * console-setup/variant: Italy console-setup/unsupported_options: true * console-setup/ctrl_alt_bksp: false console-setup/modelcode: pc105 console-setup/use_system_font: console-setup/fontsize: 16 console-setup/unsupported_layout: true console-setup/layoutcode: it console-setup/codesetcode: Lat15 * console-setup/altgr: The default for the keyboard layout * console-setup/codeset: # Latin1 and Latin5 - western Europe and Turkic languages console-setup/toggle: No toggling * console-setup/fontface: VGA * console-setup/fontsize-text: 16 * console-setup/compose: No compose key debian-installer/console-setup-udeb/title: console-setup/other: console-setup/switch: No temporary switch console-setup/unsupported_config_layout: true * console-setup/charmap: UTF-8 console-setup/optionscode: console-setup/unsupported_config_options: true console-setup/layout: console-setup/variantcode: * console-setup/model: console-setup/fontsize-fb: 16 ---End Message--- ---BeginMessage--- Source: console-setup Source-Version: 1.47 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of console-setup, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive: bdf2psf_1.47_all.deb to main/c/console-setup/bdf2psf_1.47_all.deb console-setup-amiga-ekmap_1.47_all.udeb to main/c/console-setup/console-setup-amiga-ekmap_1.47_all.udeb

I've commited your patch in SVN; even though it is not yet clear that .bz2 data.tar are going to be accepted for base packages I see now reason to now support it in debootstrap leaving this decision to FTP masters. Have you thought this through? Have you considered Joey's arguments that as a distribution we should not *want* to support multiple compression methods in debootstrap because the decompressors may not be available? Yes; and I agree that Debian shouldn't support it _but_ it does't mean deboostrap cannot support it. How will debootstrap react when the decompressors are not available? It is going to output an error ... File not found! :-) If you do add this to SVN, shouldn't you also add a dependency on the decompressors? No since it is not supported by Debian ATM; we're going to have support on the code for it and derivatives can use it if desired but I don't think we ought to add depends on something that is not used.

A user should not have to grub through the source to find out why it's failing. Please don't commit patches blindly. I did not. OK.
