Re: Babelbox updated for squeeze

Not yet perfect. During last week, I found some bugs, but due I didn't had the opportunity to debug them properly. But maybe we can get them solved with the help of the -i18n folks. Beside the dpms issue, I noticed the following bugs: 1) One - to me unknown - language seems to miss it's font files, as can be seen on this screenshot: http://people.debian.org/~tolimar/tmp/unknown-language.jpg What language is that? What font package is missing? And why wasn't it installed via tasksel? 2) Sometimes a Brazilian Portuguese dictionary get's installed and asked a question not yet preseeded. Funnily, that seems to happen for more languages, than Brazilian, as I saw the question asked in some language using Cyrillic letters. You can see that example here http://people.debian.org/~tolimar/tmp/preseed.jpg What would we need to pressed to get that question preseeded? And why is it asked during other languages as well? 3) When the installation reaches Kazahk it doesn't continue. It remains in the language selection. Pressing the continue button doesn't help, one get's back to Kazahk. Log on tty-something doesn't show anything special. Well, and 4) being the language currently being installed isn't always displayed. But I think that's a known bug already (having something to do with language names being to long?). I have a virtual machine with the babelbox ready, if you need me to debug it further or try something out. If I export it, it takes up about 9GB... If there's interest, I can upload it to somewhere.

So in case of Babelbox, the problem might be solved by simply installing some wordlist? I'll try that tomorrow.

So, depending on the support used for the babelbox install, if ttf-devanagari-fonts was missing or not installable, that may explain the result. I had a complete mirror available, so in theory that shouldn't be a problem. But as only three languages remain, I can do further testing tomorrow.

Babelbox updated for squeeze
Hi! I ported the Babelbox to work with Squeeze (grub2 and gdm3). I already updated http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox and uploaded the babelbox.tar.gz to my people.d.o page. Feel free to put that back to the d-i webpage and change the link back. Attached is the complete diff between the old babelbox, and mine. Changelog would read: * Port babelbox-grub and cronscript to grub2 * Port preseed_late to grub2 and gdm3 * Update langlist (Comments appreciated bubulle, not sure if it's correct) * rm obsolete xorg.conf * preseed.cfg: * Updated to reflect volatile and partman changes * Don't install grub1, grub2 or lilo (had an error message and it's not used at all, so why bother) * Don't install the complete desktop and standard task, takes far to long; instead install a minimal gnome-System The later results in a drop of the number of the installed packages from about 1300 to about 650. Works very well on my setup (virtualbox with a full mirror on the host system). However, I noticed two glitches, I didn't had the time fix properly: 1) One installed language (forgot which, sorry) asked a dictionary related question, which was not preseeded. 2) Sometimes the virtual monitor was turned off during the installation due to inactivity. I think it always happened using the gui installer, but not with the text installer, so I guess it's X-related? However, droping the desktop task and installing minimal gnome solved the issue for me, as the installation is now fast enough :) Best Regards, Alexander babelbox-squeeze.diff.gz Description: Binary data
Re: Babelbox updated for squeeze
Hi! * Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org [110226 14:27]: 2) Sometimes the virtual monitor was turned off during the installation due to inactivity. [..] DPMS and/or gnome-power-manager come to mind? Sorry, should have been clearer: It happens, while the debian-installer runs, not after the installed system has been booted. So I don't think it's gnome-power-manger, but something else DPMS related. I *think* it's only an issue when using the graphical installer (as I only saw it happen there, not while a text based installation was running). So my best guess would be that X has DPMS enabled by default, and if installation takes to long, it sends the monitor to sleep? Not sure, if it's worth to change anything just for some people running a bablebox for some time, as long as the install less packages so it doesn't take so long fix works ;) Best Regards, Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

DPN, rt, d-i
Hi! You might wonder, when the next issue of the Debian Project News will be released. Well, to be honest, I can't answer that question. In theory, it is finished and could be frozen and reviewed; however, rumour has it, that a) the release team will soonish send new Bits from and b) debian-installer team is about to publish a release candidate. Given that the first two paragraphs of the current DPN draft are the release teams bits from mail and the beta2 of the d-i, I actually don't think, that it makes much sense to freeze the DPN as it is; as major parts of it might be obsoleted soonish. I pinged both d-i and rt and asked for their timeline, but got no answer so far. So I guess the best thing we can do, is freeze it tomorrow morning, release it the day after tomorrow in the evening (therefore still having more or less two days for reviewing and translating), and should d-i or rt react in the meantime, rewrite these paragraphs if that happens, and hope, that we can keep at least part of it.

reopen 605562 severity 605562 important thanks Hi again! * Gaudenz Steinlin gaud...@debian.org [101201 11:57]: I booted from usb stick (which was presented as /dev/sda) on a hardware raid (/dev/sdb). After the system was successfully installed, the bootloader was installed to the mbr of /dev/sda (the usb stick), not my hard disc (/dev/sdb). Can you please recheck with a current daily image. I believe this issue is fixed in grub-installer 1.57. See #568529 (and duplicates) for more information. It would be nice to have a confirmation from you that the issue is indeed fixed as it does not happen on all systems and is therefore quite hard to test. Please reopen the bug if it's not fixed on your hardware. I' sorry, but the problem still remains. I tested with and usb installation using http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz (dated 02-Dec-2010 00:22) and http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso (dated 01-Dec-2010 03:01) I also looked ant the iso image, it does contain grub-installer_1.57, however, grub is still installed on my usb-stick (/dev/sda) not on the hard disk (which is now /dev/sdd; it seems the linux kernel now also sees the real hard drives, not the hardware raid). I saved the contents of /var/log/installer after the installation, but need to recover mu original system for now to do some work. I can put them online in couple of minutes. If there's anything I can do to help / you need to know, please let me know.

Status of g-i / showing x11 based g-i prototype at CeBIT
Hi! Short version: May / should we show kibi's prototype of an x11 based installer at the upcoming CeBIT? Long version: A couple of days ago we got to know that Debian may be present again at this years CeBIT (taking place in 10 days). We got to know it quite short handed, and needed to supply some informations about what we will show within a quite short timeframe. Back than the best idea I had was to say, we would show a preview on Debian 6.0 Squeeze (including the kFreeBSD port) as well as a prototype for an possible x11 based graphical installer to be introduced with that release. (Kibi bloged about that when I hat to write the text). Seeing the current discussion about that, I think that I might have been a bit to fast with that. Sorry for that, but I didn't had time to gather feedback :( So far the text is only used on a website and I guess we could change the text if you like. That shouldn't be a problem. However, we would like to send out a small announcement (actually: I was hoping to finish a draft today and send it out on Monday) that we will be present there, and that would of course include a text what we will show. So what do you think about that? My idea so far was to show it in a virtual machine; last years we often had some visitors from distributions based upon Debian, who found such stuff quite interesting. Showing them that (of course underlining that it is just an early prototype) would be quite cool.

Problems with installation from usb-stick / preseeding grub installation device
Hi! I'm preseeding d-i boot to install lenny on several (identical) boxes we just got. Since I'm still in the play with the preseed file and see what's possible-phase I'm often changing the preseeding file, so I boot from usb-stick. So far it works splendid, many thanks. However, I have a problem similar to #516280: During installation the usb stick is /dev/sda and the target hard disc /dev/sdb. grub get's installed to the mbr of /dev/sda; grub's menu.lst contains (hd1,0) and the generated fstab refer to /dev/sdb as well. So after the installation, the System is unbootable without the stick. Since I only want to install to identical systems, I tried to workaround the problem by running a script via preseed/late_command, to fixi fstab and menu.lst in /target. That works (well; it's a dirty hack, but it works), but I fail to get grub installed into the mbr of the hard disc. Grub always ended up in the boot record of the usb-stick (/dev/sda or (hd0)). I tried to preseed grub-installer/bootdev to enforce installation to the hard disc, but somehow it always get's ignored. So far I tried the following: d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd1) d-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sdb d-i grub-installer/bootdev string (hd1,0) grub get's always installed to the usb-stick at (hd0) / /dev/sda. I can verify that by looking in /var/log/installer/syslog after the installation: Dec 2 12:56:19 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '(hd0)' Dec 2 12:56:19 grub-installer: info: grub-install supports --no-floppy Dec 2 12:56:19 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --no-floppy --recheck (hd0) I also looked at /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat, which contains the following: Name: grub-installer/bootdev Template: grub-installer/bootdev Value: (hd1) Owners: d-i, grub-installer Flags: seen Variables: ID = grub-installer/bootdev So I guess, that I actually do preseed the variable, but for some reasons it get's ignored. Has someone an idea what I'm doing wrong? Beside the bootdev I only pressed a grub passwort hash and set grub-installer/only_debian to true (which as I understand only avoids the confirmation of the installation, right?)

Hi! * Frans Pop elen...@planet.nl [090831 11:28]: No objection. The dependency is arch-specific, so removing the package will not affect D-I for other arches. We will keep the build dependency (and other m68k-specific dependencies) because AFAIK the m68k porters still build D-I from their debian-ports repository and for that the build dependency is still needed.

For example (Lenny install): libsasl2-2 libgnutls26 [..] I also don't see why deborphan should report them. mutt depends on the first and exim4-daemon-light on the second.

[ readding debian-boot since the discussion is going to their topic ] Hi! Justin B Rye schrieb: [ several improvements ] Applied. If that last sentence is trying to say without having to boot from it (with the assumption that my BIOS wasn't set up to boot from removable media by default in the first place) then I would suggest: The installer can also be started directly from Microsoft Windows. Okay, that's a bit tricky: Under normal circumstances you would reboot need to check, if your bios allows to boot from CD/DVD/Blu-ray, and could then boot from your optical drive continuing with the installation. With win32-loader you can insert your disc while running windows. It will add an entry to Windows boot loader (including some settings like timezone and language IIRC) and when you reboot you can start the installation process from windows boot menu without needing to check your bios settings. (d-i folk, is that summary correct?) There was some discussion on the debian-boot list about that, while searching for a good phrase for that.

Draft for lenny release announcement
[ Sorry for the cross post; just trying to make sure everyone is aware of the current state ] Hi! Attached you'll find the current draft of the announcement for the lenny release. Based upon the announcement for the last release it's far from ready :( Especially the second and third paragraphs need a better replacement; maybe the d-i or cd folks have a good idea about that? I tried my best to make the draft based on http://wiki.debian.org/NewInLenny and own experience but I'm sure I missed important thing. So please feel free to point out really important changes, which should be mentioned in the announcement. About the timeline... Hopefully we'll release next Saturday... So I would like to see the content of the announcement finished by Wednesday and use the remaining time for reviewing and translating the announcement. -l10n-english and -i18n will that be enough time for you? I know that ideally translators would work on a frozen version of the announcement, but I fear that won't fit into the remaining time. The most current version may be found in a private subversion repository (to avoid conflicts when using the wiki). You can get the most recent version from http://svn.schmehl.info/svn/debian-publicity/20090214-lenny-release/lenny-announcement.en.wml ; translators might later be interested in http://svn.schmehl.info/websvn/listing.php?repname=debian-publicitypath=%2F20090214-lenny-release%2Frev=0sc=0 to track changes in the document.

Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports a total of eleven processor architectures and includes the KDE, GNOME Xfce and lxde desktop environments. It also features cryptographic software and compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.2 of the LSB./p !-- pUsing a now fully integrated installation process, Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 comes with out-of-the-box support for encrypted partitions. This release introduces a newly developed graphical front end to the installation system supporting scripts using composed characters and complex languages; the installation system for Debian GNU/Linux has now been translated to 58 languages./p -- pAlso beginning with Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, the package management system has been improved regarding security and efficiency. Secure APT allows the verification of the integrity of packages downloaded from a mirror. Updated package indices won't be downloaded in their entirety, but instead patched with smaller files containing only differences from earlier versions./p -- pDebian GNU/Linux runs on computers ranging from palmtops and handheld systems to supercomputers, and on nearly everything in between. A total of eleven architectures are supported including: Sun SPARC (sparc), HP Alpha (alpha), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), Intel IA-32 (i386) and IA-64 (ia64), HP PA-RISC (hppa), MIPS (mips, mipsel), ARM (arm), IBM S/390 (s390) and AMD64 and Intel EM64T (amd64)./p pThis includes support for Marvell's Orion platform or devices based on the Orion platform, like QNAP Turbo Station, HP mv2120, and Buffalo Kurobox Pro./p pWith the integration of X.org 7.3 the X server autoconfigures itself with most hardware. Newly introduced packages allow the full support of NTFS filesystems or the usage of most multimedia keys out of the box. Support for Macromedias Flash format is available via the swfdec plugin. Overall improvements for notebooks have been introduced, like out of the box support of CPU frequency scaling./p pThe integration of OpenJDK, a free version of Sun's Java technology, into Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 made it possible to ship Java based applications in Debians main repository./p pFurther improvement regarding the security of the system include the installation of available security updates before the first reboot by the installation system, the reduction of setuid root binaries and open ports in the standard installation as well as building several security-critical packages with GCC Hardening features. Various applications have specific improvements, too. PHP for example is now built with the Suhosin hardening patch./p pDebian GNU/Linux can be installed from various installation media such as DVDs, CDs, USB sticks and floppies, or from the network. GNOME is the default desktop environment and is contained on the first CD. The K Desktop Environment (KDE), the Xfce or the lxde desktop can be installed through two new alternative CD images.

pThe Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its stable
distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename codename). In addition to
correcting several security problems and a few serious defects in the stable
release, for the first time in Debian's history an update for a stable
distrubtion also adds support for newer hardware by giving users the option to
install newer drivers./p
pExisting Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 installation CDs and DVDs can continue to be
used to install this update. After installation, upgrading via an up-to-date
Debian mirror will cause any out of date packages to be updated. However, users
of the network-console installation method are strongly encouraged to update
their media, see the Debian Installer portion of this announcement for
more information./p

to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update./p
pNew CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively

Please review announcement of upcoming release of Debian 4.0r4 etch-and-a-half
Hi!
Attached you'll find the current draft for the announcement of
etch-and-a-half. Please review it; current schedule for it to be send
out is tomorrow.
I'll make the most up to date version available at
http://people.debian.org/~tolimar/tmp/ ; patches for the wml-file (which
is used to generate the HTML and the TXT version for the mail) are most
welcome, everything else is more work for me ;)
Frans, could you please pay special attention to the paragraph about d-i?
Yours sincerely,
Alexander
