Bug#642405: debian-installer-launcher: Synaptic GUI prompts for root password, then closes. Konsole error says, 'kexec' is not a valid plugin.

2011-09-22 Thread AS
Package: debian-installer-launcher
Version: 5
Severity: normal


Fresh install, updated (from konsole), Synaptic GUI wont run.
Tried to invoke debian-installer-launcher from konsole, but:

ERROR: 'kexec' is not a valid plugin. Check and try again.

Significance of last sentence is unfortunately not clear to me.
If it were, I d probably not file a bug.

Tnx AS

[PATCH kernel-wedge v2] Allow configuration files to be placed in a subdirectory

2011-09-22 Thread Ben Hutchings
In a kernel source package, which will be non-native, the kernel-wedge
configuration should be placed under the debian/ directory.

copy-modules, gen-control, gen-deps, install-files: If the environment
variable $KW_CONFIG_DIR is set, look for configuration files in the
specified directory (which may be relative).
---
This adds an environment variable instead of additional parameters, as
requested.  I even remembered to update the documentation for this one.

Please apply and then upload a new version of kernel-wedge.

Ben.

Bug#619236: RFS: kboot-utils -- needed for d-i to complete on PS3

2011-09-22 Thread Antonio Ospite
Hi Debian Mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package kboot-utils, it is needed
to make debian-installer complete a successful installation on
PlayStation3. I am also the upstream author.

* Package name: kboot-utils
  Version : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Antonio Ospite osp...@studenti.unina.it
* URL : http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/
* License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: Posix shell

It builds the binary package: kboot-utils

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://bugs.debian.org/641465

The package can be downloaded with dget using this command:

  dget -u http://ao2.it/debian/kboot-utils_0.1-1.dsc

The source package can be now found in the 'debian' branch at:
  
  http://git.ao2.it/kboot-utils.git/

please keep in mind that I am still learning how to deal with
git-buildpackage.

The package has been tested with pbuilder, checked with lintian,
verified it is piuparts-clean, but there might very well still be
something worth fixing.

I packaged kboot-utils (Helper tools to generate a kboot.conf file) for
debian, and I'd like to ask if someone can *review* the package and 
maybe eventually sponsor me for upload to the main archive.
At the end of the day it will be needed to have a 100% working
installation on the PlayStation3, see Bug #619236:

  http://bugs.debian.org/619236

The plan is to first have kboot-utils in the official archive and then
make d-i install it when machine==PS3.

Thanks,
   Antonio

Backporting ZFS installer support to kreebsd

2011-09-22 Thread Arno Töll
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello everyone (please keep CCs:),

on behalf of the kreebsd porters I am trying to explore our
possibilities to improve ZFS (installer) support in a future Squeeze
point release.

To achieve that, we would need to backport at least the following bug
fixes and improvements. Note #635627 is already on its way to p-u (#637020):

Bug #  -- package -- title
635384 -- parted -- detection of ZFS volumes (ZVOL)
635398 -- partman-base -- humandev() support for ZFS volumes
637032 -- partman-target -- please allow /lib/modules mount points
635627 -- zfsutils -- zvol (ZFS volumes) should be available before
checkroot.sh
none -- partman-zfs -- Use a version  8 for volume management

In agreement with kfreebsd's technology status [1] I think we can
consider that possible for packages which are kfreebsd specific only. As
you can see, it would also affect packages in Linux, in particular
parted and partman (thus d-i). However, we don't expect any side effects
on Linux, as it mostly touches paths used by kfreebsd systems only.

I hereby request comments from maintainers of affected packages and the
release team in particular.

Bug#642447: installation-reports: Successfull installation on Lenovo T420s

2011-09-22 Thread Johannes Willkomm
Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

I succesfully installed Debian without any problems.

I chose Guided, encrypted hard drive, one partition

With the same image from two days ago i had two problems, which are now both 
fixed, 

1) #640943
2) Installation of Grub failed
Cannot find a GRUB drive for dev/mapper

Either the problems are fixed, or it is because of the USB boot. Before I 
burned a CD.

I configured the Ethernet manually, and used a proxy later for apt, as my 
network does 
not have DHCP yet and i have only restricted access other ethernet

Subject: debian-installer: Enable VMware modules on installer images.
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi.

For quite a while now, the linux-image-* packages have had support for
the VMware modules such as vmxnet3 and vmw_pvscsi.

However, the daily builds for the Debian installer do not.
It would be very handy if at least the vmxnet3 and vmw_pvscsi modules
were enabled by default in the businesscard/netinstaller ISO files.

That way, new virtual machines created on VMware ESX/ESXi can use the
VMXNET3 network adapter; and a Paravirtual SCSI controller on the boot
drive.

Without these modules, both the network and hard disk can't be detected
at install time unless the slower E1000 network adapter and LSI SCSI
controllers are used instead.

The E1000 network adapter can easily be changed to a VMXNET3 adapter
after the install, but the Paravirtual SCSI change on the boot device
is non-trivial.

Regards,

Bug#642179: debian-installer: Installs on drives larger than 2.19TB fails with older bios

2011-09-22 Thread Karl Schmidt

This is failing with the current squeeze installer that uses grub2.

What I don't know is if this is possibly a BIOS issue - my understanding is that Debian takes over 
and uses its own driver.


This is on a Tyan S7002 which uses:

# lspci |grep SATA
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI 
Controller

for the SATA controller.

I'm attempting a workaround - I'm installing the main system on a 40GB raided pair of SSD and will 
have /homes on large ( 2.18TB ) drives. I will partition the large drives with gparted and use GPT.

Well done!

2011-09-22 Thread Nathan Van Ymeren
Hello Developers,

I recently installed the latest Debian/i386 on an older system to do
some CFD number crunching with openfoam.  After coming from other
distros I was really impressed at how painless the installation was
(and I used the minimal CD image).  I'd just like to extend my thanks
to everyone who works on the Debian install process and offer you all
some much-deserved kudos.

Cheers,

Nathan Van Ymeren

Debian testing netinst checksums do not match!

2011-09-22 Thread Matthijs Wensveen
Hi,
I've just downloaded the debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso file from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/

The checksums in MD5SUMS.small and SHA512SUMS.small do not match with
the downloaded file! This either means I'm the target of a
man-in-the-middle attack (which seems unlikely) or that the sums in
the checksum files are incorrect.

The build is from Thu Sep 22 15:26:29 UTC 2011.

Output from md5sum and sha512sum (on Ubuntu 11.04, coreutils 8.5)

matthijs@cerebro:~/Downloads$ md5sum -c MD5SUMS.small
debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso: OK
debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 2 computed checksums did NOT match
matthijs@cerebro:~/Downloads$ sha512sum -c SHA512SUMS.small
debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso: OK
debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso: FAILED
sha512sum: WARNING: 1 of 2 computed checksums did NOT match

To be sure, I'm throwing the netinst CD away (I burned it before checking, doh).

Best regards,
Matthijs

Did you try downloading it a second time?  There are innumerous conditions
that could lead to an incomplete download, which will of course fail any
checksum.

Best wishes,
Mike
