Bug#352758 -- installation: etch installer fails to detect/configure PC card NIC

2010-01-14 Thread Chris Jones
I reported Bug #352758 -- installation: etch installer fails to
detect/configure PC card NIC -- c. four years ago and was wondering if
there were any new developments.

I was directed to this list but am unsure whether this is indeed the
right place to ask.

One thing I have noticed is that this bug has propagated to all install
and CD live distros that are debian based, but my main concern is that
this will make things difficult especially for new users of debian.

Please let me know what is my best course of action.

Thanks,

CJ

Bug#565243: cdrom-retriever: No progress bar movement when fetching packages

2010-01-14 Thread Frans Pop
reassign 565243 pkgsel 0.24
thanks

On Thursday 14 January 2010, Petter Reinholdtsen wrote:
 Would it be possible to get the DVD installation to behave more like
 the network installation, where the progress bar move forward while
 packages are fetched.  Even if all packages are local, it take a while
 to process 1300 packages and it would be nice if this caused some
 visible progress on the progress bar.

I doubt that this is something that can be fixed in Debian Installer. The 
display of the progress bar at that stage is not determined by the 
retriever udebs (the retrievers are used for loading *udebs*, not for 
regular packages), but by APT.

Probably the difference is that with DVD based installs there simply isn't 
a download phase and thus APT does not provide download progress info.

So you'll need to look at APT instead of D-I if you want this improved.

Cheers,
FJP

Hi,
installation fails if the XKBLAYOUT (/etc/default/console-setup or
/etc/X11/xorg.conf) is set to a non-standard value (sk_tz in my case).
Process /var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.config configure starts up
too many ( 1000 per second) processes (grep, sed, sort) with no
symptoms of progress.

 This allows me to hope that 1.47 fixed the problem.  For now I will 
 lower the severity of this bug report.  I am going to close it if no new 
 reports of this kind follow for a while.

There are no new reports about this so I think I can close the bug now.

Bug#561008: console-setup: approximations for 'toilet -f future' symbols look different before and after X

  Hence, it seems that this bug should be fixed in
  xserver-xorg-video-intel. If this is the case, I think the bug report

  2:2.9.1-1 .
 
 Do you want me to reassign the bug report to
 xserver-xorg-video-intel/2:2.9.1-1 ?

The good news is I was able to reproduce the broken lines on my machine 
(it has intel video) and I am sure there is a regression bug somewhere 
in the X server.  The bad news is I failed to notice after which upgrade 
this happened.

But there is one last thing to make clear that makes me me want to delay 
a little the bug reassigning.

 I've just tried with FONT='lat1u-08.psf.gz' in 
 /etc/default/console-setup, and then with FONT='lat1u-16.psf.gz' . I 
 see horizontally broken pseudo-graphic symbols with both of them.

I have absolutely no explanation why the fonts in console-setup look 
good while lat1u-16.psf.gz and lat1u-08.psf.gz have always broken 
horizontal lines (even without X).  Can you try the following:

1. Configure the console with the fonts of console-setup.  Make sure the 
lines look OK.

2. setfont lat1u-16.psf.gz

3. Test the lines with toilet.

On my machine the fonts of console-setup and the fonts of console-data 
are either all good or all with broken lines.

A comment to this bugreport told you, that this is a firmware issue.

Support for loading firmware during installation was added to the 
lenny installer.

Please try the lenny installer.

Bug#563035: console-setup: bottom 2-3 lines are cut off in virtual terminals with Fixed14

2010-01-14 Thread Anton Zinoviev
On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 05:23:21AM +0100, Vincent Lefevre wrote:
 
 When I reconfigure console-setup to choose the Fixed font in size 14
 (see debconf information below) and reboot the machine, the bottom
 2-3 lines are cut off in virtual terminals.
 
 This is a problem similar to question 1.2 from
 
   /usr/share/doc/console-setup/FAQ.gz
 
 but I do not change the font size.

 Note: I use gdm.

This must be some new bug in the X server.  Please do the following:

1. Upgrade the X server to the last available.

2. Test that the bug still exists.

3. Give some info about the graphics card of this machine and the 
version of xserver-xorg-core (this is in order to know to which package 
to reassign the bug.  I suppose the X maintainers will require some 
additional information.)

The most secure way to test 2. is the following:

mv /etc/rc2.d/S*gdm /etc # disable GDM temporarily
reboot
# make sure the fonts are OK after the reboot
X # start plain X server
# press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and see if the bottom lines are cut off
# press Ctrl+C to kill the X server
mv /etc/S*gdm /etc/rc2.d/

 Fixed14 looks the same as Fixed16. So, I wonder whether the font size
 is really changed.

Fixed14 and Fixed16 are almost identical (I can not distinguish between 
them).  If console-setup is configured to use Fixed14 you can try the 
following:

setupcon # to make sure Fixed14 is loaded
zcat /usr/share/doc/console-setup/FAQ.gz
# Observe the top line on the screen
loadkeys Uni2-Fixed16.psf.gz
zcat /usr/share/doc/console-setup/FAQ.gz
# Observe again the top line on the screen

As the subject says: If I install both usplash and console-setup, then usplash 
exits out to a text screen about halfway through.  The last message I see on 
the text screen before more gets printed is that console-setup is setting the 
console fonts.

Probably console-setup should make sure its script executes before usplash 
starts, which might mean putting it into the initrd.  (Unfortunately I don't 
know the details of how that works.)

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.50
Severity: normal

Hi and thanks for maintaining console-setup!

On a box where console-setup-mini was installed, I issued the following
command:

  # aptitude install console-setup console-setup-mini-

in order to switch from console-setup-mini to console-setup.

Some configuration files are present in /etc/console-setup/ :

  $ ls /etc/console-setup/
  cached.kmap.gzcompose.ISO-8859-13.inc  compose.ISO-8859-8.inc
  compose.ARMSCII-8.inc compose.ISO-8859-14.inc  compose.ISO-8859-9.inc
  compose.CP1251.inccompose.ISO-8859-15.inc  compose.KOI8-R.inc
  compose.CP1255.inccompose.ISO-8859-16.inc  compose.KOI8-U.inc
  compose.CP1256.inccompose.ISO-8859-1.inc   compose.TIS-620.inc
  compose.GEORGIAN-ACADEMY.inc  compose.ISO-8859-2.inc   compose.VISCII.inc
  compose.GEORGIAN-PS.inc   compose.ISO-8859-3.inc   Lat15-Fixed16.psf.gz
  compose.IBM1133.inc   compose.ISO-8859-4.inc   
Lat15-TerminusBold16.psf
  compose.ISIRI-3342.inccompose.ISO-8859-5.inc   remap.inc
  compose.ISO-8859-10.inc   compose.ISO-8859-6.inc
  compose.ISO-8859-11.inc   compose.ISO-8859-7.inc

They seem to belong to console-setup-mini:

  $ dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -c 1-60
  rc  console-setup-mini   1.50 

OK, let's purge console-setup-mini, in order to clean the system up:

  # aptitude purge console-setup-mini

Let's check:

  $ dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -c 1-60
  $ ls /etc/console-setup/
  ls: cannot access /etc/console-setup/: No such file or directory

Wait, but that directory has a name that makes me think it should be
useful to console-setup...

  # aptitude reinstall console-setup

And now:

  $ ls /etc/console-setup/
  cached.kmap.gz  Lat15-Fixed16.psf.gz

Hence, after switching from console-setup-mini to console-setup and
purging console-setup-mini, some configuration files that seem to be
useful for both console-setup-mini and console-setup get lost.

This problem was mentioned by me during the discussions of bug
#546983, but it seems to be still unfixed.

I had a file system witha date set in the future, and thus entered single mode. 
I had
then a wrong keyboard which is annoying because when you are in this mode you
are likely to kill your machine if using the wrong key (even enetring the 
passwd may 
be challenging).

Bug#562575: Is Debian on PowerPC dead? [Re: Bug still present [Re: Bug#562575: installation-reports: Buisnesscard PowerPC installer loops with Segmentation faults]]

2010-01-14 Thread Rick Thomas



This bug is still present in the Thu Jan 14 16:08:46 UTC 2010  
businesscard CD downloaded from


   
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/

So far as I can tell, this bug has not been looked at by the debian- 
installer folks.


Is PowerPC simply so unimportant that resources cannot be spared to  
even *look* at a problem that renders the installer unusable on that  
hardware?

This bug (562575) is still present in today's netinst CD.

The businesscard installer boots and prints the ususal flock of  
kernel startup messages.

then it says:
  Starting system log daemon
  Segmentation fault
and then it loops saying
  INFO: kbd-mode: setting console mode to Unicode (UTF-8)
  Segmentation fault
It never gets to the point of asking the usual installation  
questions for locale, language, etc...

 From my experience

a) there is little point to the business card image. The netinstall is the
good option.

b) daily builds are not necessarily supposed to work they are just for
developers to share and try out ideas with.

c) try the weekly builds,

d) try testing, do a basic install and add unstable items with testing
preferred. Unstable is not guaranteed to do anything except that (do I have
this exactly right) certain very severe bugs cause it to reject moving to
testing, after a short period of time the item either moves to testing or to
experimental or nothing (in that particular version).

I am no DD I have just listened to the lists for a few years.

 I can confirm that this is bug is also present on the playstation 3. Starting 
the installation gives the looping segmentation fault message.

 1. Upgrade the X server to the last available.

I need to wait for bug 564203 to be fixed in Debian. For the moment,
here's some information:

 3. Give some info about the graphics card of this machine

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M.

 and the version of xserver-xorg-core (this is in order to know to
 which package to reassign the bug. I suppose the X maintainers will
 require some additional information.)

1.6.5-1

  I reported Bug #352758 -- installation: etch installer fails to

 A comment to this bugreport told you, that this is a firmware issue.

Sorry, I have little familiarity with the bug reporting system and I did
no see this comment. Where can read the comments?

I don't see any comments at:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352758

All I see are my two entries.

 Support for loading firmware during installation was added to the
 lenny installer.

 Please try the lenny installer.

I have been running lenny for a couple of years, and am in the process
of assessing Squeeze prior to switching. 

Since I usually upgrade by cloning the current stable to another
partition and running a dist-upgrade, I was not aware of this change.

Being unfamiliar with the bug reporting system, and not seeing anything
on the above-mentioned page, I mistakenly assumed that the problem had
not been corrected, especially since it is still present in fairly
recent distributions and live CD's that are based on debian.

All apologies for the confusion and please let me know where in the
debian manuals I can find a description of the debian bug tracking
system in order to avoid such problems in the future.

Thank you,

CJ
