Comments/Problems:

Tried the graphical installer first, but couldn't use it to finish the
installation because keyboard was not functioning correctly. About
half of the keys did not work at all, no matter whether pressed with
Shift or not. Probably something related to the locale/keyboard
layout-combination used. This happened again after reboot, so was not 
probably anything temporarily. Here are my choices:

Language: English
Location: Europe/Finland
Keyboard layout: Finnish
Locale: en-us.utf8

The non-working keys: qwyuioafghjklv,

The text-based installer worked well, so I used it to install the
system.

Bug#606843: Installation-Report: English language with Finnish location, half of the keys stop working

2010-12-12 Thread Christian PERRIER

 keys were not working anymore
 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzåäö -- bcdemnprstxzåäö
 (a,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,o,q,u,v,w,y letters not working)

The problem seems to happen when one picks the Finnish keymap.

Picking the French one doesn't trigger the problem (so I assume others
are OK, too).

Even picking the French keymap *after* picking the Finnish one (by
using Go Back in screen and redo the Choose keyboard
step)leaves you with non-working keys.

So, in some way, the problem might lie in the finnish keymap.

Bug#606843: Installation-Report: English language with Finnish location, half of the keys stop working - bug not valid for Germany

while I can confirm this bug for English/Finland, I tried
if this is also valid for Germany, but it isn't:

If language: English is selected in combination with 
country: Germany and keyboard layout: German, everything works
fine.

Bug#606188: installation-reports: xserver-xorg not installed for gnome/gdm3

2010-12-12 Thread Miguel Figueiredo
A Quarta 08 Dezembro 2010 23:28:52, você escreveu:
 Hi Miguel,
  I have gone the logs on your suggestion (initially was too lazy to
 crawl syslog, SIGH). I should have seen it earlier ...

thanks for analyzing the installation logs.

 
  From syslog, it seem something got wrong on the network so the packages
 were not downloaded.
 (I am pretty sure it was not a permanent error as I was browsing the net
 all that time through the same router/switch)
 
 Here it goes:
 [code]

 Dec  7 03:35:22 in-target: Err

 [/code]

quoting linux-2.6-2-6-32/Documentation/networking/vortex.txt:

Transmit error, Tx status register 82
-

This is a common error which is almost always caused by another host on
the same network being in full-duplex mode, while this host is in
half-duplex mode.  You need to find that other host and make it run in
half-duplex mode or fix this host to run in full-duplex mode.

As a last resort, you can force the 3c59x driver into full-duplex mode
with

options 3c59x full_duplex=1

but this has to be viewed as a workaround for broken network gear and
should only really be used for equipment which cannot autonegotiate.


I suggest you install again passing  the option to the module to use full 
duplex:

(5.3.1.2 on http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html)

3c509.full_duplex=1

...or try with all hosts as half-duplex if using that NIC.

 
 
 It seems to me the installer error-handling can use some improvement.
 What bothers me most is the silent failure - which to most inexperienced
 user will indicate Debian/Linux's immaturity.

I found a related BR, #579520, on tasksel package. 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579520
If it's the correct package for this, i suggest the discussion to be kept in 
it instead of ending up with several BRs for the same issue.

 
 I am using GUI or basic installer, so the suggestion belove  is for
 Expert mode. But the general idea shall be plausible across the board.
 
 Here it is:
 --
 
 First stage = only detect and report issue
 
 1) The installer will notify the user that (some) package downloads
 failed
  - just writing it into syslog is not enough (who watches that screen
 anyway...)
 
 Second stage = attempt optimistic autocorrection + alow for manual
 
 auto correction)
 
 2) To solve intermittend networks issues, Debian-installer shall
 (automatically) try at least twice to call for installing of the
 packages in case of errors (be it network or other)
  - this should be trivial to achieve - apt will anyway ignore everything
 that is allready installed, so calling it twice is a no-brainer
  - it is actually desirable to do it this way - the delay in APT
 installing what was installer shall provide for time shinf that may
 suffice to mittigate the connection issue
  - in case a dual run was needed (and second run was flawless), user
 just needs be notified of issues (even though they were worked around)
 
 3) In case multi-run of apt is not sufficient to solve all problems,
 user shall be prompted to take appropriate measures to resolve the
 situation
  - dialog box with options like:
  - - a) repair issue (now) and try again
  - - b) repair issue later and reboot into the system
  - - c) repair issue later and perform a cleanup to remove orphaned
 packages (to ensure clean state if only a dependency got installed but
 the parent package was not)
 
 Third stage = provide the user with a list of packages affected
 
 4) When the above (IMO easy to implement) features are there, there
 should be a serious thought given to actually providing a list of
 broken/not-installed packages in a (file) format suitable as input for
 apt for alter use
  - until this is available, user shall be directed
 to /var/log/installer/syslog
 
 Optional addon
 
 5) Actually provide user with two lists as in 4) but of all packages:
  - designated for installation by Debian-installer
  - installed correctly
 So for every installation, succesfull or not, user will get 3 package
 list with, hopefully, one zero-file while the other 2 identical.
 
 
 Yeah I know I am newbie here and now work done, but sometimes even an
 idea can have a non-zero value so here it is :)
 
 
 If you'd like to check the box, let me know until it's clean.
 
 
 Best regards,
 Milan Niznansky

Bug#606840: Bug#606843: Installation-Report: English language with Finnish location, half of the keys stop working

2010-12-12 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Hi,

Christian PERRIER bubu...@debian.org (12/12/2010):
 So, in some way, the problem might lie in the finnish keymap.

sounds like it. Reproducible in a non-di environment with:
  $ setxkbmap -option -model pc105 fi fi

(People may want to run setxkbmap $their $stuff right before so they
can use the 'Up' arrow to get back to a functional keymap.)

which is what gets called from console-setup-udeb's postinst script
(as seen by inserting 'echo' at the beginning of the line in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup-udeb.postinst).

I know nothing about fi for now, probably a xkb-data bug; will try to
look into what happened upstream since the version we're shipping.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Hi again,

debian-user-finnish@ added since I need some feedback on that
fi-specific issue. Context: broken debian installer with Finnish
keymap, see bugs #606840 and #606843.

Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (12/12/2010):
 I know nothing about fi for now, probably a xkb-data bug; will try to
 look into what happened upstream since the version we're shipping.

I know kung^Wabout fi now.

One workaround:
 - Stick to 'American English' instead of 'Finnish'.
 - Validate that choice, you get 'setxkbmap us' or so.
 - On the next prompts, select 'Go back' until the menu appears. At the
   bottom of the menu, pick 'Execute a shell'.
 - Run this command: 'setxkbmap fi'.
 - Exit the terminal and go back to your installation process.

The (probable) actual bug: Looking into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fi
one can see that the section starting with “xkb_symbols fi {”,
there's no include besides kpdl and level3, meaning no “basic”
keys. So you only get the ones which are listed in that section. Which
breaks “setxkbmap fi fi” so badly.

AFAICT, adding “include latin(type2)” for example as the first line of
this section makes it possible to get a working keyboard with
“setxkbmap fi fi”. People may try editing this file from the shell
(see above for instructions), with the “nano” editor (and then run
“setxkbamp fi fi”), or in a non-debian-installer environment, to make
sure it does what people may expect from it.

This bug probably should be reassigned to xkb-data. An upload will
follow as soon as I get feedback from fi-knowledgeable people.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Otherwise, one gets this when running “setxkbmap fi fi”:

 The (probable) actual bug: Looking into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fi
 one can see that the section starting with “xkb_symbols fi {”,
 there's no include besides kpdl and level3, meaning no “basic”
 keys. So you only get the ones which are listed in that section. Which
 breaks “setxkbmap fi fi” so badly.
 
 AFAICT, adding “include latin(type2)” for example as the first line of
 this section makes it possible to get a working keyboard with
 “setxkbmap fi fi”. People may try editing this file from the shell
 (see above for instructions), with the “nano” editor (and then run
 “setxkbamp fi fi”), or in a non-debian-installer environment, to make
 sure it does what people may expect from it.
 
 This bug probably should be reassigned to xkb-data. An upload will
 follow as soon as I get feedback from fi-knowledgeable people.

Reassigning, then.

I think an upload is OK and is worth going into squeeze as all install
with the finnish keymap are badly broken by this bug.

Thanks for your analysis, Cyril.

 sounds like it. Reproducible in a non-di environment with:

That's not a valid configuration.  The fi variant doesn't exist.

However, if I open a shell in D-I before the keymap is set, then apply

Bug#606396: installation-reports: Squeeze Beta1 on Apple iBook G4 (powerpc)

2010-12-12 Thread Samuel Thibault
Andrzej P, le Wed 08 Dec 2010 21:41:16 +, a écrit :
I used the default single partition setup suggested by 'partman'.
I assume that the suggested partitioning is correct.  I was
puzzled however that the suggested scheme includes a 2.5 GB swap
space since the Installation Manual states On 32-bit architectures
(i386, m68k, 32-bit SPARC, and PowerPC), the maximum size of a swap
partition is 2GB. [C.3. Recommended Partitioning Scheme].  Is this
no longer true?

On i386 it's no longer true.  I'm not sure for sparc and powerpc, but
I'd tend to think the same.  Porters?

Re: boot parameter interface=auto can't adaptation the correct NIC

2010-12-12 Thread Qin Bo
2010/12/10 Lennart Sorensen lsore...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca


 Is this another case of a driver/NIC taking longer to get link up after
 being enabled than the installer is willing to wait?  I seem to recall
 a bnx2 user a few days ago reporting a similar problem.


How can i find the bnx2 problem? I had set  netcfg/dhcp_timeout=60 as boot
parameter, the problem still reproduce.
But I still think the netcfg didn't got the correct interface, then couldn't
get the IP address from dhcp server.
Because I had read the netcfg source:netcfg.c netcfg-common.c, i can't find
where the program deal with interface=auto.


Bug#606928: tasksel: upgrade fails with debconf in lenny (1.5.24)

Upgrading debconf (to 1.5.36 for squeeze) first does solve the problem.

It's obvious that tasksel needs a newer versioned dependency on debconf than
the current one (= 0.5). I just don't know which one between 1.5.24 and
1.5.36.

You need netcfg/choose_interface=auto


As far as the detection goes, it is this part in netcfg.c:

==
interface_up(*ifaces);

usleep(250);

if (ethtool_lite (*ifaces) == 1) /* CONNECTED */ {
di_info(found link on interface %s, making it the 
default., *ifaces);
defiface = strdup(*ifaces);
interface_down(*ifaces);
break;
} else {
#ifdef WIRELESS
struct wireless_config wc;
#endif /* WIRELESS */
di_info(found no link on interface %s., *ifaces);
==


A 250 us delay is kinda short.

It takes 3 seconds for the link of my test box to get up.
(on-board Intel 82574L NIC, connected to a HP 1810G gigabit switch).

Comments/Problems:

boot loader: mkofboot couldn't find /proc/scsi (existing Bug #572869).

After manually editing /etc/yaboot.conf, I was facing another problem
on boot: the disk drives seem to be detected in undefined order, and
this makes it difficult to guess correct /dev/sd letter (and yaboot
doesn't accept LABEL= syntax). I have two IDE disks (pata_cmd64x) and
one SCSI disk (the one used here) (aic7xxx).

Third problem was with X. It was running wild and filling the disk
with its log file. The salvation came with package
firmware-linux-nonfree containing the file r128_cce.bin. Still, I'm
unable to log out and in again, as this makes X hang.

Comments/Problems:

Installation worked beautifully with the major exception of yaboot getting
hopelessly confused.

Evidently the ofpath utility has not been updated to handle the state of the
world now that /proc/scsi/scsi is deprecated.  I had to dredge out old
OpenFirmware references and manually edit /etc/yaboot.conf, then run mkofboot.
This generation of PowerMacs (the very last :-( ) uses SATA drives on a PCI-E
bus.

Once I stuffed OpenFirware device-tree magic into yaboot.conf, things sprinted
to a finish.  Even X worked on this foul NVidia device.

Oddly, in rescue mode, the installer told me that installing yaboot failed, then
told me it succeeded with the very next dialog.  Its first guess was correct; I
had to implement the fix myself at a shell prompt.

Here is my /etc/yaboot.conf in case other poor miserable G5 users suffer my
SATAnic fate.  I had to add ofboot, and correct partition and root (which were 3
instead of 4).  At some point I managed to create an over-sized blank area for
the hfs bootblock partition, wasting 177kB of precious space.

N.B.: I'm booting from the second SATA drive, not the first, because I stupidly
installed the drives in the wrong order.  People using sda will probably want:

Package: yaboot-installer
Tags: patch

Yaboot-installer should use short unique OS labels returned by os-prober
instead of long titles. It should add oldlabel to the label, if available.

Currently, first word from long title is actually used by yaboot. This
regularly makes duplicate labels. Current solution of prepending the
last part of the partition name to the label just adds to the confusion
as unix device/partition names are not persistent anymore.

Comments/Problems:

Installation worked beautifully with the major exception of yaboot getting
hopelessly confused.

Evidently the ofpath utility has not been updated to handle the state of the
world now that /proc/scsi/scsi is deprecated.  I had to dredge out old
OpenFirmware references and manually edit /etc/yaboot.conf, then run mkofboot.
This generation of PowerMacs (the very last :-( ) uses SATA drives on a PCI-E
bus.

Once I stuffed OpenFirware device-tree magic into yaboot.conf, things sprinted
to a finish.  Even X worked on this foul NVidia device.

Oddly, in rescue mode, the installer told me that installing yaboot failed, then
told me it succeeded with the very next dialog.  Its first guess was correct; I
had to implement the fix myself at a shell prompt.

Here is my /etc/yaboot.conf in case other poor miserable G5 users suffer my
SATAnic fate.  I had to add ofboot, and correct partition and root (which were 3
instead of 4).  At some point I managed to create an over-sized blank area for
the hfs bootblock partition, wasting 177kB of precious space.

N.B.: I'm booting from the second SATA drive, not the first, because I stupidly
installed the drives in the wrong order.  People using sda will probably want:

ofboot=/ht/p...@9/k2-sata-root/k2-s...@0/d...@0:2

Bug#606928: tasksel: upgrade fails with debconf in lenny (1.5.24)

Oh, before filing the bug, I did check tasksel 2.88 in unstable, and
found Depends: debconf (= 0.5) is still there. But I didn't notice the
Pre-Depends field.

This is OK. But why keeping duplicate info overridden by the other?

Besides, are you sure Pre-Depends is really needed? I also tried
upgrading debconf together with tasksel, not one by one, and it still
worked.

Bug#605765: Installation status is not shown after Selecting and Installing Software step

2010-12-12 Thread Turm Oil
Hi,

Sorry for the late response.

Could you be more specific? When did you get that warning
 that the
 Turkish locale is not ready?
 

I chose KDE as the graphical desktop environment and Graphical Install. Then, 
at the first step Select Language installation told me that Turkish Locale 
is not ready. 
I checked squeeze beta2 installation and this bug no longer exists...

 Quoting Turm Oil (turmoi...@yahoo.com):
 
  After choosing default Selecting and Installing
 Software step, 
  there is no indication about the installation status.
 Please see attachments. At first, I thought installation has
 crushed, but from Ctrl+Alt+F4 I could see the installation
 is still going on by getting files from the ftp.
 
 Yes, that's a know (and annoying) problem, which is already
 tracked by
 other bug reports.
 
  
  Please also note that, I could not install Turkish
 Locale, because installer warn me that Turkish locale is
 not ready. My keyboard layout and language is set to
 English.
 
 
 Could you be more specific? When did you get that warning
 that the
 Turkish locale is not ready?
