Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Debian-installer-version:
Debian Lenny RC1

The default PE size is too small (4MB) for some use when creating 
volume groups (VG) with debian-installer.

If you're dealing with large amounts of data, it is highly
suggested to go for a larger extent size for performance reasons.

32MB is the default for RHEL and CentOS installers but the user has
the possibility to choose another size.

For this reason, I have to create volume groups from command line with
the -s 32M option of vgcreate.

Regards,

Laurent

It all went smoothly, except that grub2 could not cope with the MD-RAID1 array, 
as it can't cope with metadata verions other than 0.9.  A bit of web-searching 
led me to bug #554500 so I tried compiling grub2 with that patch on another 
machine and installing the resulting packages.  No luck though, so I rebuilt 
the array, forcing it to use metadata version 0.9 and it all worked.

package: partman
severity: important

I am just trying to install debian to existing partitions of the
harddisk of my laptop.

However, the manual partitioning method only shows the whole
Harddisk, and wants to create a new partition-table for the whole
disk.
This is true with the netinst-, as well as with the
businesscard-CD-image, and it is also true when I use the expert boot
option.

Do you have an idea about a possible reason?

Once more: When I enter into manual partition mode, I see one line
corresponding to my harddrive only. This line shows the harddrive
itself. It should display a list of partitions below this line, right?

The laptop is from Gericom, the harddrive is a toshiba (40G).

In another thread, I learned about a file that may be useful:
/var/log/partman.
How do I acess this file?

Thanks alot for your help!
Andreas

Package: parted-udeb

I got the following message while installing with a daily image
(maybe due to #530904):

  ┌┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─┐

  └─┘

I'm not sure who displays this error message, but the error itself
comes from parted.

What's not great:

 - The ERROR!!! string that doesn't really say anything at all.

 - The choice Ignore and Cancel.  I guess Ignore is go ahead
   and Cancel is go back, but there's a go back already.

 - When I press Go Back, it actually goes ahead to format the
   partition (which worked fine).

d-i location on mirrors

2011-03-19 Thread Joerg Jaspert
Heyho,

todays Squeeze Point Release made on thing obvious: The location of the
installer files on the mirrors in dists/ is somewhat crap.
What happens at point release time (provided a d-i update is included)
is that the mirror sync goes and deletes the installer files from the
proposed-updates directory and then goes to transfer them all again into
the stable directory. That is a 2GB transfer thats entirely unneeded.

What I want to do now is to go and put all the installer-* directories
into /d-i/ on our mirrors. The directories in dists/$SUITE would only
contain symlinks for their version over to the ones in /d-i/.
Basically, the idea behind pool/ all over, just for d-i.

As far as I can see this should be possible to get implemented now
without causing any trouble, as we keep all the current places alive
(using symlinks), but I wanted to confirm with you that this is really
the case and I don't miss anything important in d-i.

If you don't have anything, I would want to change the stuff during the
meeting next week.

Bug#618915: tasksel: Should provide an easy way to choose the selected desktop environment

2011-03-19 Thread Samuel Thibault
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.89
Severity: normal

Hello,

Currently, the easy way (that is, not expert-mode install) to select
e.g. the KDE desktop to be installed from a netboot image is at the boot
menu to enter advanced options, then alternative desktop environments.
This looks quite hairy, to say the least. People usually expect to be
given the choice at installation, I've seen complaints here and there
that Debian doesn't easily provide the choice.

One way to do it is to simply enable the desktop question, which, yes,
makes one more question during installation, but users will probably
find it critical: people are usually used to either gnome or KDE, and
thus want the one they're used to. And people who simply want to get X
working without a complete desktop (because they're using fvwm or such)
will be happy to easily select LXDE or XFCE. If they don't know, well,
they can default to gnome, that's fine.

Another way to do it, which may be better, is to replace the Desktop
task with Gnome desktop, KDE desktop, etc.  The benefit is that you
can then install several desktops, for the case of a machine used by
several users with different habits.

Samuel

Bug#618920: debootstrap: needs more robust download error handling

2011-03-19 Thread Michael Gilbert
package: debootstrap
version: 1.0.28
severity: important
tags: patch

debootstrap's current download error handling isn't very robust.  It
declares success just for the presence of a downloaded file, which may
be a partial download, or one for which the checksum doesn't match.
Eventually those conditions will lead to unhandled failures elsewhere
within debootstrap.

This can make d-i very rocky on certain mirrors since one bad package
download ultimately lead to a complete failure of the debootstrap
process, and thus a failed install.  An expert can recover from this,
but an average user will get rather frustrated (especially since the
dialogs for debootstrap errors are rather confusing).  

It may also be useful to expand a bit on these d-i debootstrap error
messages: when an error happens, the right answer that the user wants is
to hit 'go back' twice in a row to start the debootstrap all over again,
but the dialogs are confusing, and 'continue' seems to be the obvious
choice, but that will lead to the broken debootstrap continuing to
completion with various brokenness. Anyway, that maybe should be
submitted as another bug.

So, back to the original issue, I've created a patch that will retry
downloads whenever anything in the get routine fails, which I
believe is much more robust than the current situation.  Please see
attached patch.

Best wishes,
Mike

Re: d-i location on mirrors

 What I want to do now is to go and put all the installer-* directories

Do all the official Debian mirrors support symlinks?

* Joerg Jaspert jo...@ganneff.de [110319 15:44]:
 the thread around it will be on -boot, but now you got it directly
 too. Will debmirror/reprepro be able to deal with the change?

Reprepro only mirrors packages, so only looks at dists/N/C/debian-installer/
stuff and gets the udebs. This it should not be affected by your proposal,
if I understand it correctly.

With my reprepro author hat on, the installer-* stuff is only a nuisance
making it more hard to have a tidy dists/ dir. (Which is one of the rough

Bug#615985: installation-reports: PowerPC netinst image: Debootstrap Error

2011-03-19 Thread Antonio Ospite

Miguel Figueiredo el...@debianpt.org wrote:

 Hi,
 
 in the installation log may be more information on what happened. 
 Can you take a look and also send it (gzipped) ?
 

Tested again with a newer image:

Date: 19-Mar-2011 10:28

And the installation completed without a hitch, so I guess this bug can
be closed, along with:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543267

And maybe also this one can be closed:

I am going to submit another installation report for the successful
install, with some suggestions about Debian on PS3.

Thanks a lot,

Bug#618920: debootstrap: needs more robust download error handling

2011-03-19 Thread Michael Gilbert
I probably should have mentioned that these errors are much more
likely within d-i for some reason.  The best way to reproduce this is
to do an installation up through partitioning, then do:

$ debootstrap wheezy /target/wheezy-chroot
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110318T093210Z

At least a few package downloads should fail from that mirror, and
they'll be different every time.

Executing the same command in a full system seems to work fine for
that exact same mirror, so maybe its some other variability within d-i
that is the cause of this issue.

Best wishes,
Mike

The installer seems to boot fine, and presents its initial menu.
However, the attached USB keyboard isn't functional at that point,
making further installation impossible.

I understand that petitboot, the bootloader i used, is just a regular
linux system.  The keyboard works flawlessly with petitboot, so I'm
assuming debian-installer is at fault here.

I added some debug output to /var/lib/dpkg/info/bootstrap-base.postinst
and the actual bootstrap command is:

log-output -t debootstrap run-debootstrap --components-main \
  --debian-installer --resolve-deps wheezy /target file:///cdrom/

As a workaround, if the file:///cdrom/ argument is removed the installation
completes fine, but I guess that is just because the installer is downloading
everything from the net, right?

Any idea of what is going on?

Thanks,

Bug#618927: busybox-udeb: provide seq

2011-03-19 Thread Michael Gilbert
package: busybox-udeb
version: 1.18.4-1
severity: normal

It would be nice if busybox-udeb provided seq for use in d-i scripts.
See bug #618920 for one particular case where I would like to use it.

That code of course could be rewritten to avoid the use of seq, but its
so much cleaner with it.

Thanks,
Mike

Comments/Problems:

Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
  and ideas you had during the initial install.

My first attempt to install Debian 6.0 has failed with Kernel panic -
not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!. After upgrading the 
device firmware using Sun_System_Firmware-6_7_11-Sun_Fire_T1000.bin
the installation was a success.
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2011/02/msg00017.html

The boot environment was set with:
{4} ok setenv network-boot-arguments host-ip=x.y.z.4,
  router-ip=x.y.z.1,
  subnet-mask=255.255.255.240,
  hostname=sun.DOMAIN.com,
  file=tftp://x.y.z.37/boot.img
(everything in one line and no white spaces)

The complete boot command was:
{0} ok boot net DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text video=atyfb:offa \
cdrom-detect/eject=false netcfg/disable_dhcp=true modules=network-console

Other minor observations:
- the installer asked for tg3 firmare files but the network was working
without them anyway;
- using net1 (instead of net/net0) the connection didn't worked properly
for DNS resolution (for hostname/domain) and Debian mirror scan;
- no logon console was available over the serial terminal (the only one
available for headless SPARC systems).

Thanks

Bug#618929: Debian bootup/install bug report

2011-03-19 Thread Mike Tremblay
Package: Installer

  Problem: Will not boot after installation



  System: ~2000 vintage HP Vecta XU, 6/200, system D4365N, dual Pentium II 
processors, 64 MB RAM, three hard drives - 200G IDE, two 1.3 G SCSI (Quantum 
Fireball), network card, no USB 

   

  The most common outcome of an installation session is that the bootup step at 
the end of the session results in the letters GRUB appearing in the upper 
left corner of the screen with the blinking cursor to the right of the B, and 
nothing else. The system does not respond to any keystrokes, or combination of 
CTRL-key, ALT-key, etc. It seems like the system is waiting for keyboard 
input, but the keyboard is not enabled. If I had a responsive keyboard AND I 
knew what to type, this could be an acceptable outcome, since it does occur 
most times.

   

  What I've tried: All combinations of discs (all three drives plugged in, each 
one separately, all combinations of two drives).  The drives all appear to be 
accessed but the boot ultimately fails as described above.

   

  I've tried most combinations of answering the partitioning questions and 
placement of the boot sector.

   

  The failures are not all as stated above; it's just the most common outcome. 
Other results are  GRUB being continuously written to the screen, until I 
power off.

   

  I was able to get the boot to succeed once, but that particular system build 
led to other problems causing me to attempt a second install. This one time the 
result was that the system would, after powering on and all the verbiage of the 
boot up process, presents me with a login prompt, accepts my login and allows 
me to use the system. I was able to run with this system for a couple of weeks, 
loading packages, etc. until I filled the discs and had to start over.  The 
disc full issue occurred because the IDE drive (most of the system's capacity) 
was not mounted. I did not realize this until the disc full failure. 

   

  The version of Debian is 2.4. I have a 15 CD set, purchased in roughly 2004. 
Last week I downloaded disc image 1 of Debian 6.0 in hopes that the boot 
problem has been fixed, but the results are the same.

   

  Thanks,

  Mike Tremblay

Yes, udeb flavour lacks quite a few commands which should be there.
We're going that direction, hopefully ;)  And yes, seq is one of the
applets I thought about enabling, too.

Hopefully it will be in the next release.

Bug#618929: Debian bootup/install bug report

2011-03-19 Thread Miguel Figueiredo
Hi,

A Sábado 19 Março 2011 17:07:24 Mike Tremblay você escreveu:
 Package: Installer
 
   Problem: Will not boot after installation
 
 
 
   System: ~2000 vintage HP Vecta XU, 6/200, system D4365N, dual Pentium II 
 processors, 64 MB RAM, three hard drives - 200G IDE, two 1.3 G SCSI (Quantum 
 Fireball), network card, no USB 
 

 
   The most common outcome of an installation session is that the bootup step 
 at the end of the session results in the letters GRUB appearing in the 
 upper left corner of the screen with the blinking cursor to the right of the 
 B, and nothing else. The system does not respond to any keystrokes, or 
 combination of CTRL-key, ALT-key, etc. It seems like the system is 
 waiting for keyboard input, but the keyboard is not enabled. If I had a 
 responsive keyboard AND I knew what to type, this could be an acceptable 
 outcome, since it does occur most times.

[...]

Please check the installation report for any errors during installation.
Please extract the installation report [1] in the end of installation and send 
a copy (gzipped).

What image heve you used for installation?

Re: d-i location on mirrors

2011-03-19 Thread Joerg Jaspert

 What I want to do now is to go and put all the installer-* directories
 into /d-i/ on our mirrors. The directories in dists/$SUITE would only
 contain symlinks for their version over to the ones in /d-i/.
 Do all the official Debian mirrors support symlinks?

Otherwise they would be lost with the current symlink already. All
the mirrors using ftpsync wont care about this change.

 Reprepro only mirrors packages, so only looks at dists/N/C/debian-installer/
 stuff and gets the udebs. This it should not be affected by your proposal,
 if I understand it correctly.

Right.

 With my reprepro author hat on, the installer-* stuff is only a nuisance
 making it more hard to have a tidy dists/ dir. (Which is one of the rough
 edges in reprepro, it only ever adds stuff to dists/ and never deletes it
 but leaves that to the user).

Well. This change is step1 in getting it out of there. Maybe at some
point we wont even have the symlinks anymore. (But I don't care too much
about that, actually)

 debmirror will probably use the symlinks, and store the files where they
 are now.

So it works, which is good.

 How about installer/*/ instead?  Not everyone knows what d-i stands
 for.

Fine.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574888

which indicates the problem will be fixed when the installer uses the 
linux-2.6.32-11 kernel. I don't know how to find an installer that uses this 
kernel, so in the meanwhile, I have a totally useless brand new computer. Any 
help?

Thanks!

Re: Stopping d-i pulling in virtualbox-ose-guest packages

 Jonathan Matthews wrote:
 I can't find a way of getting squeeze's (i386) netinst to install
 inside virtualbox without pulling in 3 virtualbox-ose-guest-*
 packages:

 So, these are pulled in by the discover package, particularly by
 discover-pkginstall.

 I don't see any way to disable it by preseeding. While
 discover uses the discover/install_hw_packages debconf question,
 it uses it in a way that ignores preseeding. (This is easily a bug.)

Thanks for this - appreciated. I'll file a bug for this behaviour.

Could anyone comment on how a request for a discover blacklist debconf
question would be viewed? I'm thinking that it might be productive to
be able to communicate let discover do what it likes, as hwdiscovery
is its forte, but I *know* I don't want to install anything matching
$REGEX.

 The only option I see for now is to use preseed/early_command to
 rm /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages

For the list archives: this worked under 6.0.0 (tested on i386) but
now, post-6.0.1 release, on both 64- and 32-bit 6.0.0 PXE installers
(with subsequent packages pulled during the install from a
(presumably) updated 6.0.1 mirror) it fails to have the desired
affect. It appears that preseed/early_command may be running before
the installer has created /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages.
I'm not sure if that's a bug.  The workaround I'm using successfully
at the moment is:

d-i preseed/early_command string \
  echo -e '#! /bin/sh\necho /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages' \
  /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/19remove-install-hwpackages; \
  chmod 755 /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/19remove-install-hwpackages

Ugly, but it works.

Jonathan

I think the idea is nice but as Martin suggested I prefer installer
