Bug#553195: Reproducible if /usr/lib/os-prober/newns replaced with newns.c

2009-11-17 Thread Matt Kraai
Hi,

I can reproduce this behavior if I manually replace
/usr/lib/os-prober/newns with newns.c extracted from the source
package.  BandiPat, have you done anything to newns?  Could you please
send us a copy of it from your system?

[RFC] Alternative implementation for tzsetup (was: Not sure about recent change in tzsetup)

2009-11-17 Thread Frans Pop
After the decision during yesterday's team meeting I've prepared the 
patches to implement the alternative solution to revert the all 
timezones option and add instead the option to select UTC at medium 
priority [1].

If there are no objections before then, I plan to commit these changes on 
Friday before the l10n run. I will then mail d-i18n to request translation 
updates over the weekend and will do a first upload on Monday [2].

Below an overview of the template changes I propose to include.
Comments welcome.

1) Country selection dialogs (both shortlist and per-continent)
Change in the long description to emphasize the importance of selecting the 
correct country for time zone and also indicate that it's not the only 
factor in determining the system locale.
I've not mentioned the default mirror on purpose because at this point it 
may not be really clear what exactly a mirror is and because it would make 
the text rather long.

Current text:
   The country selected here will be used for example to select a default
   locale and time zone. Normally this should be the country where you
   live.

Proposed text:
   The country selected here will be used to set your time zone and also
   for example in the determination of the system locale. Normally this
   should be the country where you live.

2) New dialog for selection of preferred locale
This dialog will be displayed at high priority when a user selects a 
language that has multiple locales (has a shortlist), but selected a 
country that's not in the shortlist.

Proposed text:
   There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country
   you have selected. You can now select your preference from the locales
   available for the selected language. The locale that will be used is
   listed in the second column.

   Country to base default locale settings on:

3) Add a long description to timezone selection dialog
With the above changes users should hopefully be selecting the correct 
country and thus get the correct time zone. Some users may however be used 
to selecting the wrong country. This change is intended to help those 
users.
The value of this change is limited as the dialog will not be displayed if 
the user is installing at default priority and selected a country that has 
only one time zone.

Proposed text:
   If the desired time zone is not listed, then please go back to the step
   Choose language and select a country that uses the desired time zone
   (the country where you live or are located).


Better than the hint above is to prominently and clearly communicate the 
changes in localechooser to users through the D-I release announcements 
and Squeeze release notes.

Cheers,
FJP

Package:  os-prober
Version:  1.35

There seems to be a problem with this version detecting Windows 
partitions that are mounted on a system.  I have tried this version then 
reverted back to the 1.29 version which works correcting in finding the 
Windows partition.  I noticed in the bug-reports there was an instance 
of os-prober not finding the MacX partition, which sounds somewhat like 
the problem I am experiencing.  Any help would be welcomed.

In my log file associated with the installer we use, there seems to be 
some problems with the program newns as well.  I am including the log 
file, so you may see what I mean.

Thanks,
Patrick

Bug#556738: grub-pc: Displays being upgraded dialog during new installations from D-I

2009-11-17 Thread Frans Pop
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: important

During a new installation grub-pc incorrectly displays the dialog that it is
being upgraded and asks to select which device to run grub-install on.

Apparently the test whether the package is being newly installed or upgraded
is broken.

I've verified that this also happens with the version currently in unstable
(1.97+20091115-1).

Bug#556739: os-prober: Mounts and reads logical volumes that are already mounted in a virtual machine

2009-11-17 Thread George Kiagiadakis
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.35
Severity: important

Hi,
I have a logical volume here that acts as the / filesystem of a kvm virtual 
machine running lenny.
When I upgraded my kernel today, I noticed that os-prober (called from 
update-grub) does mount this
volume trying to find an OS on it, without caring about the fact that this 
volume is already mounted
in the virtual machine. The kernel then complains in dmesg that the filesystem 
is not clean/corrupt/etc,
and I guess that under certain circumstances this could cause filesystem 
corruption and data loss.

It would be wiser if os-prober could check the flags of the logical volumes 
before mounting them.
lvs here shows that this volume is open, so this is a hint that you could use 
to determine if
the volume should be checked or not.

Regards,
George

Sorry for the delayed reply. Too busy working on other things and I forgot.

  There is also an upgrade problem. It looks like when I upgrade that

 I have included a migration script. The remaining action are explained

  I tried making the changes manually, but ended up with a broken setup.
  Not sure if that means the ::/ prefix does not work for me or if I
  missed something...

 Adding ::/ manually everywhere would be very tedious.
 My script should be idempotent, so if you downgrade and re-repgrade, you
 should be fine (unless you actually broke a repository, which you can
 simply purge/reinstall).

This did not work for me, maybe because of changes I made myself. But I 
also tested it after upgrading from a clean installation of 0.36b with a 
few installed images, and that did work.
Hmm. I didn't actually downgrade as you asked me to, only reinstalled. So I 
guess the problem may have been that your script didn't actually get run.

BTW, I noticed one error while downloading the very first image with 0.36b:
I: Processing lenny/amd64 ...
I: Downloading...
I: Computing checksums... netboot/netboot.tar.gz ... done.
I: Moving/Removing temporary files.

It would be good to avoid that error, but maybe it's already been fixed in 
the new version. I didn't check.

 I have two feature request that are pending, and I need your help:

 Using local repository (requested by fjp)

This is more important now as my previous method to include custom images 
no longer works without the DHCP patchprefix.

 I wondered how to address this. I now think it would be possible if
 the images where structured like this (we can switch arch and dist
 folder hierarchy):

This is one option, but requires users to lay out their images in a 
specific structure and probably in a specific location.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just allow a user to specify the image on the 
command line using a new command? Something like:
   di-netboot-assistant custom --name=mybuild filename

The name option could be optional with a default of custom.
The architecture can AFAIK be derived from the contents on the tarball.

I think the uninstall etc. options should just work as AFAIK it depends on 
your registration of the images, and not their origin.

IMO there's no need to check the MD5SUM. If someone installs an image this 
way he'll either have built it himself, or can simply check it himself 
beforehand if desired.

 Allow preseeding using TFTP (reqested by Otavio)

 1. Is it possible to simply concatenate multiple tar.gz files?

I doubt that tar supports that.

 2. Is it possible to simply concatenate multiple tar in one .gz files?

Yes, gzip should support that.

 3. Or is it possible to pass multiple initrd= to  a given Kernel?

I don't think so.

Note that the host system is running Lenny, so possibly you're expecting a

BTW, a tarball can contain both a newt and a gtk installer; It would be

Sorry for my first mail just sent to you. Forgot this isn't grub-devel.
Anyway the test we use in the postinst is this for that debconf prompt:

if test -e /boot/grub/stage2  test -e /boot/grub/menu.lst  ! test -e 
/boot/grub/core.img ; then
[...]
else
  db_subst grub-pc/install_devices CHOICES `grub-mkdevicemap -m - | sed -e 
/^(fd[0-9]\+)/d;s,.*\t,,g | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e 's/,$//g;s/,/, /g'`
  db_input high grub-pc/install_devices || true
  db_go

So it should only happen if you tried GRUB Legacy first.
But I try that now.
Any suggestion so that wouldn't even asked inside d-i if GRUB Legacy was tried 
first?

Comments/Problems:

Flawless install!  I knew the network card on this motherboard is not
supported by the Lenny kernel, so I chose to install from daily images;
I also chose the expert install option in order to try an ext4 root
partition on this sytem, and it works perfectly.  Grub2 install also
went without a hitch.

Thanks very much, d-i people!

Cheers,

Bug#556882: console-setup: Loses do not change font configuration in the transition to keyboard-configuration

2009-11-17 Thread Josh Triplett
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.47
Severity: normal

I had console-setup configured to not change the console font.  After
upgrading to the new version that uses keyboard-configuration, that
information somehow got lost, and my font now changes during the boot
process.
