Bug#689975: debian-installer: creates partition tables which are unreadable by cfdisk
Package: debian-installer Version: 20110106+squeeze4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I recently installed an amdt64 machine with the 6.0.6 CD. The resulting disk layout was such that cfdisk refused to run on that disk thereafter, giving this error message: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder Press any key to exit cfdisk sfdisk and fdisk had similar complaints, but did not refuse to run. Methinks the installer should create partition tables that are not considered to be broken by the other partitioning programs.

Re: boot parameter libata.force=1.5Gbps not recognized
Selim T. Erdogan, 3.10.2012: Adding libata.force=1.5Gbps to the boot parameters for the installer doesn't work. It leads to a message saying unknown parameter 5Gbps. (Trying 3.0Gbps leads to unknown parameter 0Gbps so it looks like it could be a parsing issue.) Details: I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NS140E laptop that was working fine with sid until its hard drive died recently, so I got an SSD and prepared a usb stick with the wheezy beta2 installer. The install was okay generally, though there were many serious errors when accessing the drive, making the system unusable. Searching online, I found out that some computers, even ones whose SATA controllers are supposedly capable of 3Gbps, can only manage 1.5Gbps and have problems with the auto-negotiation to drop from 3Gbps to 1.5Gbps. The old hard drive that came out of the laptop had a jumper on it, limiting its speed to 1.5Gbps, but this new SSD doesn't have such a jumper setting, as far as I could find out. To test that dropping to 1.5Gbps would solve the problems, I tried installing Linux Mint. It recognized the boot parameter correctly, leading to no drive errors at all and good performance (within the bounds of 1.5Gbps, or course --- still much faster than my old hard drive). The kernel for Mint was 3.2.0-23 and the one in the Debian installer was 3.2.0-3, I think. (By the way, without that parameter, Mint also had massive problems with the new drive.) It turns out this wasn't limited to just the installer. It's a problem with the libkmod2 package. Module parameters given in the kernel command line are parsed incorrectly if the parameter value has a '.' in it, like 1.5Gbps. I filed a bug report with a fix: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=689872 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Congratulations! But as a newby I thought I should report a couple things that were pretty opaque: 1) Nowhere was it made clear what the businesscard version was. This term didn't seem to be used anywhere but on the Sarge download page, with no explanation of whether I wanted the netinst or businesscard version. I eventually made some guesses only by downloading both and looking at their sizes. 2) Ultimately I used CD-1 rather than netinst or businesscard. I naively wrote the .iso file to a CD. Eventually I accidentally discovered that if I double-clicked the .iso file on my Windows XP system my CD writer would unpack the files onto a CD, and I was then able to do the installation. The documentation should say something about how to move the image to the CD properly. Bruce Sherwood P.S.

I tried a wide variation of settings, tried to understand keyboard-configuration.config ... to no success. As I couldn't find a current manual for the installer online I had a look at the SVN version, but the B.4.1. Localization appendix (English ,i386) does not seem the be updated, yet. These are the results of several preseed tests: (preseeding keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap is needed to get rid of the question as it seems) Variables as found in /etc/default/keymap in the installer, but I haven't seen this differ from the values in the installed system. d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select foo XKBLAYOUT=us XKBVARIANT= d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de XKBLAYOUT=us XKBVARIANT= d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de XKBLAYOUT=de XKBVARIANT= d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de d-i keyboard-configuration/variantcode string nodeadkeys XKBLAYOUT=us XKBVARIANT= d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select de d-i keyboard-configuration/variantcode string nodeadkeys XKBLAYOUT= XKBVARIANT=nodeadkeys These settings were always active: d-i debian-installer/language string en d-i debian-installer/country string DE d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8 In case there is something to try, I can quickly to a test in virtualbox.

Before the network configuration step the installer prompts to load tg3 firmware from removable medium. It would be a problem, because machine does not have any USB ports, but it turned out that the ethernet cards are functional even without the firmware. Thus, all you need to do is decline the firmware loading step and the installation proceeds normally. According to dmesg, the cards are identified as Tigon3 [partno(BCM95714) rev 9001] (PCIX:133MHz:64-bit) (machine has 4 of them installed). It might be worth mentioning in the installation manual that even though some cards may indicate that they require firmware, it may be optional for their operation.

To me it is still a bug, although others mentioned it is documented
behavior.
It is. However that patch would need to be redone against Matt's changes
to netcfg.
Attached a new one, so that excuse can no longer be used.

Bug#690017: task-gnome-desktop: first login on minimal Graphical Desktop Environment system yields Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
Package: task-gnome-desktop Version: 3.13 Severity: important I just did an install from the nightly debian-installer, in text mode, choosing default options all the way up to the tasksel screen. In the tasksel screen, i chose Graphical Desktop Environment and Standard System Utilities, and nothing else. The desktop environment selection appears to have chosen task-gnome-desktop for me. After the reboot following the installation, i am greeted with gnome's nearly-content-free error message screen, complete with frowny-face computer: Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again. [Log Out] weirdly, this screen seems to be a normal window thrown on top of a functional destkop environment. If i press Alt+Spacebar, i can get the window manager's menu, from which i can select close, revealing the desktop. Most users won't be able to figure out this workaround, and instead will repeatedly click the log out button, only to log in again and be stymied again. I don't know where to find debugging information to sort this out. there are many spurious-looking messages in ~/.xsession-errors. I'm attaching one .xsession-errors from a failed session to this bug report. maybe the ones about gnome-settings-daemon failing to register are the relevant ones? I find that if i add the Print Server task from tasksel, log out, and then log back in again, i don't get this mysterious message. Perhaps gnome needs to be more resilient on systems where normal printer daemons aren't installed? or some extra dependency is missing? or both? --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages task-gnome-desktop depends on: ii gnome-core1:3.4+2 ii task-desktop 3.13 ii tasksel 3.13 Versions of packages task-gnome-desktop recommends: ii gimp2.8.2-1 ii gnome 1:3.4+2 ii hunspell-en-us 20070829-6 ii hyphen-en-us2.8.3-2 ii iceweasel 10.0.7esr-2 ii libreoffice 1:3.5.4+dfsg-2 ii libreoffice-evolution 1:3.5.4+dfsg-2 pn libreoffice-gcj none ii libreoffice-gnome 1:3.5.4+dfsg-2 ii libreoffice-help-en-us 1:3.5.4+dfsg-2 ii mythes-en-us1:3.3.0-4 ii synaptic0.75.12 ii system-config-printer 1.3.7-3 task-gnome-desktop suggests no packages. -- no debconf information /etc/gdm3/Xsession: Beginning session setup... localuser:dkg being added to access control list gnome-session-is-accelerated: No hardware 3D support. gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256 x-session-manager[19325]: WARNING: Session 'gnome' runnable check failed: Exited with code 1 GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/ssh GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/ssh GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/gpg:0:1 GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/ssh GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/gpg:0:1 GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/ssh GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/dkg/.cache/keyring-JQqfLg/gpg:0:1 x-session-manager[19325]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop' failed to register before timeout (gnome-panel:19589): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accelerator_parse_with_keycode: assertion `accelerator != NULL' failed ** (gnome-panel:19589): WARNING **: Unable to parse mouse modifier '(null)' Initializing tracker-store...

[Log Out] [...] I find that if i add the Print Server task from tasksel, log out, and then log back in again, i don't get this mysterious message. i've narrowed this down further. If the cups service isn't running when the user logs in, they get this unhelpful error message and are prevented from doing anything else in their login. This seems like an dangerous bug in gnome -- if the CUPS service is stopped (for whatever reason, including it not being installed, or having crashed, or simply being), then no gnome login is possible. ... a bit more digging around ... i find the same crash even if cups is running, as long as /var/run/cups/cups.sock is not present or just isn't accessible to the user. This is pretty clearly an unacceptable failure mode for a graphical environment used by regular people. If CUPS crashes or refuses to respond, the appropriate thing to do is to disable printing. It is not appropriate to disable the rest of the entire desktop environment. --dkg signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
