Re: A notice to the Debian Installer team...
Hi Petter, I have actually used the multi partman recipe. My hard drive is 160G in size. The space allocated to /usr was more than enough under Lenny. I used to install both Gnome and KDE and lot more additional packages. But now I have only Gnome with a very small number of additional packages and the partition is running low on disk space. I think at least 6G should have been allocated to /usr. Installing Lenny with the laptop task selected consisted only of 815 or so packages whereas now more 1100 packages were installed for a Squeeze laptop install with more new packages installed on system upgrades. By the way, this was fortunately my first time to use LVM when partitioning. ;) Nima On Sun, May 23, 2010 at 10:08 PM, Petter Reinholdtsen p...@hungry.comwrote: [Nima Azarbayjany] I faced a problem in using Debian Squeeze recently which you should be aware of it by now but I'm writing you anyway to make sure it gets resolved sooner (if it is not yet). Very good. The problem is that using the installer's default partitioning scheme nearly 5Gb is allocated to the /usr partition which now seems to be too small for a normal Debian system. I have a fresh install of Squeeze on my laptop with only a small number of additional packages installed. The version of the installer I have used is I think not the newest one which also installs recommended packages. I suspect you were using the multi partman recipe, which specify the size of /usr/ should be between 500 and 5000 MB, depending on the size of the hard drive. Nevertheless, I have installed all updates and there is currently around 800Mb free space left on the partition. Few days ago I tried installing KDevelop (the first KDE software to get installed) and its installation went smoothly except that I was prompted with a message that there is too low disk space left on /usr although there was still 200Mb or so free space on it. The message kept popping up regularly. I have now removed KDevelop and all KDE packages upon which it depends but this sure is problem which has to be taken care of given the larger number of packages installed by default and the natural growth of package and distribution sizes. For your hard drive, how much space do you believe should have been used on /usr/? How big is the hard drive? If someone lets me know whether this issue has been resolved and what is the default partitioning scheme of the Debian Installer or where to fetch this information it can be of great help. Thanks for your attention. Personally, I always use LVM, which allow me to resize partitions after installation. It might be a good idea for you too. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen
Hurd Debian-Installer: roadmap, tracking progress with the BTS
Hello, Starting today I will be working on a native Hurd debian-installer. This is a Google Summer of Code project mentored by Samuel Thibault. My original proposal is there[1], and I will be updating a roadmap[2] page as I go. Of course I would welcome any kind of feedback about them at any point. [1] http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig [2] http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2010/HurdDebianInstaller/JeremieKoenig/Roadmap I would also welcome suggestions about using the BTS to track my progress. If I understand correctly, I could: * track the bugs which I work on with a usertag * pre-file wishlist bugs on the packages which I will need to change * have a toplevel Hurd d-i bug which is blocked by said bugs The kind of bugs I would be filing/tagging at first would be: * debian-installer: native Hurd debian-installer * busybox: Hurd support (see also #323670) * genext2fs: support tuning the block size and creator OS (#562999) * gnumach: initrd support * ... More would be filed (especially against installer components) as I progress. Would this be appropriate? -- Jérémie Koenig j...@jk.fr.eu.org http://jk.fr.eu.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: lilo removal in squeeze (or, please test grub2)
Stephen Powell zlinux...@wowway.com writes: Both grub-legacy and grub-pc use sectors on the hard disk outside of the master boot record [...] This breaks the design of the backup software that my employer uses. This backup software backs up the master boot record and all partitions; but since the extra sectors used by grub-legacy and grub-pc are outside the master boot record and are not part of any partition, they don't get backed up. Consequently, if we have a hard drive failure and restore from a backup, we have an unbootable machine. Lilo uses only the master boot record. A lilo-booted machine can be backed up and restored with our existing backup software just fine. You may want to try extlinux, it works much like LILO in this respect. It lacks a convenient configuration system, but that of grub-legacy would be easy to adapt, and I actually plan to work on this. -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Hurd Debian-Installer: roadmap, tracking progress with the BTS
[Jérémie Koenig] I would also welcome suggestions about using the BTS to track my progress. If I understand correctly, I could: * track the bugs which I work on with a usertag * pre-file wishlist bugs on the packages which I will need to change * have a toplevel Hurd d-i bug which is blocked by said bugs Of these, I prefer usertagging, as it provide a better list of bugs (sorted by severity and with more meta-info presented). The kind of bugs I would be filing/tagging at first would be: * debian-installer: native Hurd debian-installer * busybox: Hurd support (see also #323670) * genext2fs: support tuning the block size and creator OS (#562999) * gnumach: initrd support * ... More would be filed (especially against installer components) as I progress. Would this be appropriate? Sound good to me. Perhaps you should get commit access if your changes proves to be good, but I leave that to your mentor and the d-i project manager to decide. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#571201: [tasksel]: please remove swfdec-mozilla from tasksel/tasks/desktop (and change to mozilla-plugin-gnash)
Hi, swfdec-mozilla was already removed from Debian unstable and testing. see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575943 So, we also should remove swfdec-mozilla from tasksel/tasks/desktop and add mozilla-plugin-gnash instead. Or, just remove it since gnash isn't stable now (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575089). I've checked git repository, but not changed as above yet. Please fix this, thanks. -- Regards, Hideki Yamane henrich @ debian.or.jp/org http://wiki.debian.org/HidekiYamane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Help with installation bug
[Jon Ander Peñalba] Can someone please help me with this bug [1]? I'm kind of anxious to install Debian on my netbook :P [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582044 I had a look, but have no clue what go wrong. My best suggestion is to add 'set -x' at the top of hw-detect.sh to see what command is hanging, but I suspect this really is some kernel driver issue and not solvable by hw-detect.

I've then asked Steve McIntyre his opinion (thanks!), as Debian CD team member, to understand the impact/feasibility on the media production. In short [2]: - it seems to be feasible - he suggested to just do that for netinst (to avoid duplicating the production of all media) - a reasonable ETA to have the work-flow for producing both sets of images is about 2 weeks Sorry for the delay in responding - back from VAC now and just about caught up. Yes, adding an extra netinst variant looks feasible and should be doable without much extra work. I'm hoping to get this going soon. Another interesting proposal advanced in this thread [3] by Steve Langasek is to create on the fly the non-free images. That would be cool, but I think we should pose the requirement that our users are able to download the non-free image as usual, and that the image is created on the fly for them behind the scenes (as Steve has hinted in [3] already). So, the point to whether this is possible or not is the obvious one: who volunteers to work on that? I suggest that we go for the alternate image set by default, unless someone steps up with a working implementation of Steve idea in time for Squeeze. I'd prefer to do the separate image route to start with, at least. Much simpler for now... :-) A last important point is how to advertise the non-free images on the web. We should obviously write in the release note the change and IMHO we should have a link to the non-free images near the download links for the free images, visually warning that they are non-free, pretty much as we visually warn non-free packages on packages.d.o and similar other parts of our infrastructure. Yup, definitely. We already have an unofficial non-free area on cdimage.debian.org which is where we've been pushing the firmware zip/tar.gz files already. I'll set up the extra images to be dropped in there. I'm guessing that we're not likely to want the extra images for all architectures: i386/amd64/powerpc(?). Any others?

Bug#571201: [tasksel]: please remove swfdec-mozilla from tasksel/tasks/desktop (and change to mozilla-plugin-gnash)
[Hideki Yamane] So, we also should remove swfdec-mozilla from tasksel/tasks/desktop and add mozilla-plugin-gnash instead. Or, just remove it since gnash isn't stable now (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575089). I agree we should remove swfdec from the tasksel tasks, and believe it is a good idea to add gnash to get more eyes to look at gnash before Squeeze freezes. If gnash is still leaking memory when we get closer to Squeeze, removing it is probably a good idea. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Consequently, if we have a hard drive failure and restore from a backup, we have an unbootable machine. Lilo uses only the master boot record. A lilo-booted machine can be backed up and restored with our existing backup software just fine. You may want to try extlinux, it works much like LILO in this respect. It lacks a convenient configuration system, but that of grub-legacy would be easy to adapt, and I actually plan to work on this. Thanks for the tip. That may be an option. I looked at the documentation online, and there does not appear to be an option equivalent to lilo's vga option, though, which I use a lot, especially since svgatextmode has already been pulled from squeeze. As of right now, if lilo was pulled from the distribution, I think I'd be inclined to build my own lilo package from source before switching to any other bootloader. To the best of my knowledge, it is the *only* bootloader which supports setting an initial text video mode *and* does not use any sectors outside the master boot record and outside of a partition. If I'm wrong about that, someone please correct me. As for a convenient configuration system, editing a plain text file is plenty good enough for me. Your time is yours to use as you see fit; but if you have the requisite skills to become the equivalent of lilo upstream, I think there's a lot of people who would rather that you do that, myself included. I'd do it myself if I had the necessary skills and knowledge. But I don't. Thanks again for the tip. -- .''`.

This does require switching to the GPT partitioning scheme which may or may not be acceptable to you. No, the backup software assumes the traditional MS-DOS hard disk partitioning scheme. One can get around this by requiring an image backup, but that has three substantial drawbacks: (1) The entire disk, including free space and extended partition free space, must be backed up. This takes a lot more time. (2) A restore can only be done to a disk of the exact same size as the one backed up. Often, a larger disk must be used because the model that failed is no longer available on the market. (3) The need for special backup requirements will be used by the opponents of Linux at my place of employment to oppose further deployments of Linux, which I wish to avoid at all costs.

The vga option is a separate option in lilo. You can't include it in the append variable without lilo generating an error. You've got my curiosity up now. I'll have to try this. I do have a spare computer with which to test. I'm going to have to try installing Squeeze using extlinux as the boot loader.
