Bug#696615: grub2: no possibility to install from usb media
Control: tag -1 confirmed Hi Gert, Gert Schulte g...@trash-mail.com (24/12/2012): Dear Maintainer, Installing from usb with mini.iso in expert mode and normal user mode. Grub2 wants to install in /dev/sda, which is the MBR of the install media and luckily fails. (Last year it did even overwrite the install media). There is no option to select any different installation location for grub which leads to non-bootable systems for many users. I had to chroot into my fresh installation to install grub2. Sorry, this did always happen the last months with several mini.iso on several systems but I did not get to report it. Please have the install choose the right MBR (e.g. the HD you installed the system on) and have an option to choose a different location for expert modus and for normal user modus if installation fails. Thanks I must say I've been trying to reproduce some issues with grub-install vs. MBR lately, and I think there are basically two of them: one with non-sensical strings, which Wouter has been trying to diagnose, and finally worked around: http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/grub-installer/news/20121216T164729Z.html and the one where the wrong /dev/sdFOO gets chosen. I've just tried the following, instead of using some mini.iso (or any official iso) in a CD-Rom drive: - convert it to a VDI image: VBoxManage convertfromraw dest/netboot/gtk/mini.iso dest/netboot/gtk/mini.vdi - attach the resulting VDI image to SATA port 0 in virtualbox. - use guided partitioning, everything in a single partition, into /dev/sdb (SATA port 1) - enjoy the attempted “grub-install /dev/sda” call. I'll be trying to fix that before rc1. Thanks for the reminder/bug report. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#696615: grub2: no possibility to install from usb media
Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (24/12/2012): I've just tried the following, instead of using some mini.iso (or any official iso) in a CD-Rom drive: - convert it to a VDI image: VBoxManage convertfromraw dest/netboot/gtk/mini.iso dest/netboot/gtk/mini.vdi - attach the resulting VDI image to SATA port 0 in virtualbox. - use guided partitioning, everything in a single partition, into /dev/sdb (SATA port 1) - enjoy the attempted “grub-install /dev/sda” call. I'll be trying to fix that before rc1. Here's what happens in grub-installer, with comments inline: | # Try to avoid using (hd0) as a boot device name. Something which can be | # turned into a stable by-id name is better. | default_bootdev_os=$($chroot $ROOT grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy -m - | head -n1 | cut -f2) Notice the head -n1 here. If you're booting from /dev/sda, that's what you get, no matter what. For reference, here's what it looks like for two disks: (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_id1-id2 (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_HARDDISK_id3-id4 | if [ $default_bootdev_os ]; then | default_bootdev=$($chroot $ROOT readlink -f $default_bootdev_os) That one turns the former top line into: /dev/sda | else | default_bootdev=(hd0) | fi | | # Set a sensible default boot device, so that we aren't installing GRUB to | # installation media which may be removed later. The disk containing /cdrom | # is very unlikely to be a sensible default. If we had to fall back to | # (hd0), then we can't tell exactly which disk that is, but if /cdrom seems | # to be a USB stick then (hd0) may not be safe. If we hit either of those | # checks, then try the disk containing /boot instead. | # The same goes for /hd-media, so avoid installing there as well. | cdsrc=$(mount | grep on /cdrom | cut -d' ' -f1) | cdfs=$(mount | grep on /cdrom | cut -d' ' -f5) | hdsrc=$(mount | grep on /hd-media | cut -d' ' -f1) Unfortunately, that kind of filtering can't really work for the boot from USB case, since no /dev/sda shows up in mount's output (or in /proc/mounts). All we have about it is presumably: rootfs / rw 0 0 which isn't exactly sufficient. Otherwise, we could just insert some “grep -v $foo” before the head/cut pair in the first line I quoted. Another way I see would be: 1. use /etc/fstab in /target to see whether there's a /boot there, and fall back to / if needed. 2. use readlink on /dev/disk/by-uuid/$UUID to get the appropriate partition (say /dev/sdb1 for a full disk installation in my case), and get back to the actual disk (/dev/sdb). 3. use that as the default. Let's see whether a big red man pops up tonight with a clever(er) idea. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Setting up the clock progress bar jumpy
I see somewhat strange behavior on the display when the installer gets to the part about setting up the clock and contacting the ntp server. The progress bar says 0%, then 3%, then 0%, then 3%, then 0%, then 3%, back and forth several times for the space of many seconds before it eventually proceeds onward. This is obviously very minor. But it caught my eye and just appeared very strange. This is using Installer build: 20121224-00:11 as a PXE booted netinst. I updated the bits today. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#696651: doesn't load saved XKBOPTIONS
Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.88 Severity: normal Hello, today I had to write some Merry Christmas messages to my Esperantists friends and.. I found out that my Multi_key didn't work anymore! It is correctly set in /etc/default/keyboard (compose:rwin) -- and in fact it worked, I hadn't changed anything -- but xev revealed that rwin actually triggered: state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES, instead of the expected: state 0x40, keycode 133 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES, After putting keycode 133 = Multi_key in ~/.xmodmap, and loading it, it started working again, and xev shows the correct key being input. I'm not sure whether this is the correct package to file this bug against, please reassign as appropriate.
