It's probably better like this (and the rc1 netinst works the same), 
especially for compatibility with various displays.

It worked for me with the daily from today (didn't check the one from 
yesterday), both the text and GTK versions.

The GTK version now starts in a much lower (apparent) resolution, while 
previously it was using the full native resolution of the display (a 
Full HD TV).

Is this intended? Not that I mind, the lower resolution does help with 
readability ;)

Arguably that bug should be severity important.

Basically users end up with an unusable 'rescue' boot menu option if 
they chose not to set a root password during install.

See #977358 for a thorough explanation and workarounds (one being 
editing the kernel command line, which kind of defeats the purpose of 
having the menu entry in the first place).

Bug#977358: release-notes: document how to make the rescue mode usable if no 
root password is set (buster)

("rescue mode" should probably have been "rescue boot entry", to avoid 
confusion with D-Is rescue mode)

Dear Debian-User subscribers,

The Release Notes editor is asking whether this is still an issue for 
bullseye (i.e. if the patch to Debian Installer mentioned below was 
applied in the meantime).

It will be a while until I get to check that. If someone can confirm 
either way please write to #977358.

Full quote below for context.

 Anyone disagree?

My opinion as a translator:

1. the s/removable path/removable media path/ change is certainly worth 
at least warning the translators about, otherwise the translations might 
say something about a path that is removable.

2. Justin's other tweaks don't change the meaning significantly, you

Re: Bug#762409: task-lxde-desktop: Please add gnome-orca

 Hello,
 
 LXDE is quite accessible with Orca, and as discussed in #760778, we'd
 like to have the screen reader ready to be enabled, so task-lxde-desktop
 should bring gnome-orca. This increases the installed size from 1429MB to
 1515MB, thus ~6%.

 Yes, but if you netinst you can *pick* your desktop, it's not like you
 have to pick the default.  Do a minimal install, then use tasksel
 to select XFCE (or just x + a window manager + the application you
 actually need).

Even the netinst has a default. Besides your method below it's also 
possible to change it using the boot menu, which many will miss or be 
afraid to try (it's under Advanced options), so will end up with 
whatever Debian chooses as default.

So the default matters also for the netinst, unless it's made easier to 
change from the installation process itself.

Probably easiest would be to just get rid of Mail server, Web 
server, Print server (CUPS will get pulled anyway as dependency of 
most if not all major DEs), etc. and instead display a list of Desktop 
Environments to choose from.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Re: Bug#750673: fsck.xfs doesnt exist on fresh installs so system doesnt boot

 When you install a fresh Debian Wheezy using xfs as your file system type
 you wont be able to boot because fsck.xfs never got installed so when
 trying to check xfs file system on first boot the system wont boot.
 
 When booting Debian Wheezy, the last  parameters at /etc/fstab for the /
 file system are set (by default) to something like 1 1 or 0 1 so it
 will try to perform a file system check at boot time using fsck. But,
 because fsck.xfs to check xfs file systems is not present (it was never
 installed), it will never be able to perform the check and the system wont
 boot. If the screen will be black. Pressing esc at boot time you realize
 about messages and finally the error.
 
 The solution or workaround until a fsck.xfs is provided at install time
 is to boot again with the live usb or cdrom you used to install from, mount
 the / partition of the hard disk you recently installed Wheezy and set last
 options at /etc/fstab for the / file system to 0 0  The system will boot
 normally without performing any check on your / file system.
 
 After booting you can perform
 
 # apt-get install xfsprogs
 
 so fsck.xfs is installed
 
 then vi /etc/fstab and restore 1 1 or 0 1 as your / file system options
 
 and the problem will be workarounded.
 
 I dont know exactly on which packages or where exactly belongs this bug

 Dear Installer Team,
 
 I used the nightly build of the Jessy i386 mini.iso (22-Feb-2014
 00:16) to install to an old laptop.
 
 I wrote the mini.iso to a usb-stick using unetbootin.
 
 During the partitioning phase of the installation i got the following error:
 
 Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1
 -- Device or resource busy.  This means Linux won't know about any
 changes you made to /dev/sda1 until you reboot --
 
 There is an option to ignore, but this doesn't alleviate the problem.
 
 As a usb-stick is an increasingly popular installation medium, I would
 categorize this bug as important.
 
 
 Work around:
 
 + Remove the usb-stick with the netinstaller before entering the
 partioning phase of the installation.
 
 Greetings,
 
 
 Mark

 Dear Maintainer,
 
 I noticed that the choose password dialog that can be seen when 
 asked for a LUKS password in Debian Installer gives wrong 
 advice on how a secure password looks like. It says that a good 
 password contains both uppercase and lowercase characters and 
 punctuation, which might mislead users that are unaware that 
 16-character password that is an impossible-to-remember mixture
 of characters is actually less secure than 20-characters-long 
 password made of 4 English words, because the latter won't be
 so easily forgotten (and isn't that much easier to crack). Please
 change the text to educate the users properly on how to select
 passphrases (passphrases, not passwords).

Hi,

Eddy Petrișor for Romanian hasn't been active for quite some time.

Do you have some stats for Romanian handy? If it's just a few strings I 
could do it, otherwise I'd rather conserve my energy to keep d-i in 
shape and update the Release Notes (when the time will come).
 
Kind regards,

P.S. you might want to CC the relevant -l10n-language as well for such 
inquiries, translators are not required to follow -i18n and coordinators 
may be MIA.

 bookinfo.po   7t
 preface.po4t
 using-d-i.po  168t53f233u
 welcome.po60t8f4u

That's a bit too much for me at the moment.
 
 If they follow their l10n-language list, I would assume that they also
 follow their private mail addresses, right?
 Of course, it could be good for finding new translators for the d-i manual.
 Therefore, I will resent that mail to the respective l10n lists. 

That's what I meant (finding potential new translators).

Kind regards,

 Strange. Can you provide the URL of image you tested?

The latest one does it as well, also the non-gtk version
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/20110306-00:20/netboot/gtk/mini.iso
 
FYI, I created the VirtualBox machine with the default for Debian. I get 
as far as the boot menu, but if I press enter on 'Install' it just 
freezes, but it still reacts to Ctrl+Alt+Del.

$ dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ^ii
ii  virtualbox-ose4.0.4-dfsg-1+b1   
x86 virtualization solution - base binaries
ii  virtualbox-ose-dkms   4.0.4-dfsg-1  
x86 virtualization solution - kernel module sources for dkms
ii  virtualbox-ose-qt 4.0.4-dfsg-1+b1   
x86 virtualization solution - Qt based user interface

(this is on amd64)

On the real hardware I don't even get to the boot menu. The laptop is a 
HP ElitBook 8540p.

  The latest testing business card image worked fine though, but I didn't
  get as far as grub because sdhci-pci is still missing.
 
 This is going to be fixed for  6.0.1.

Great :)

Andrei

Since openoffice.org and openoffice.org-l10n-ro only suggest hunspell-ro

 Not really. As you mention, it is more the job of big desktop packages
 to recommend this or that font.
 
 In language-desktop tasks, we should only need to have at least one
 known good font that supports the said language (to avoid depending on
 other packages recommends|depdendencies) and ttf-dejavu is fine for this.
 
Makes sense and that's why I asked first and didn't just file a bug.

  
  romanian-kde-desktop:
  
  kde-i18n-ro should now be kde-l10n-ro
 
 Correct. That's true for all kde-i18n packages indeed. I never noticed
 that KDE maintainers changed this.

 I just fixed that.

Thanks for all you work on this Christian :)

No push permission for tasksel?

I just had a look at the Romanian task and would have some questions and 
suggestions.

romanian-desktop:

xfonts-terminus is mentioned twice
ttf-liberation would also be a good choice, but it's already recommended 
by openoffice.org. Does it make sense to add it to the task?

romanian-kde-desktop:

kde-i18n-ro should now be kde-l10n-ro

 I think keeping gimp is better since gpaint misses a lot of functionalities..

Yes, you can also view images with it, no need for mirage or gpicview ;)

 Shouldn't this be discussed with Debian Xfce maintainers mor ethan

 In our POV, the content of the desktop tasks themselves is more up to
 the respective maintenance teams...
 
I didn't know that...

   Good point, but the change need to be made in tasksel, so it's not
   irrelevant to discuss that in tasksel lists. But maybe it'd be even
   better to discuss that on a bug reported against tasksel? What do you
   think Andrei?
 
A bug seemed a bit annoying for this, especially since I wasn't sure 
about the package.

  I belive the right place to discuss it is in xfce mailing list and after
  a conclusion has been made, report a bug against tasksel (with a patch
  if possible) for us to update it.
  
  Obviously if we think something is wrong we'll ask and discuss it in the
  bug report but a lot of noise could be avoided if doing this way. And it
  will also speedup things for you all.
 
 Ok, if it's fine with you :)
 
 Andrei, could you please post a summary to pkg-xfce mailing list, with
 what you think would be nice to have or nice to not have on the xfce
 task? I'll provide my input (maybe in beginning of april because I'm
 going to not be around until end of march) and then we'll provide
 tasksel a patch with the all the data, when 4.6 have ended in unstable
 etc.

Ok, will repost in pkg-xfce list after I've tested ristretto ;)

Regards,
Andrei

Suggestions for improving the (Xfce) Desktop install

[Andrei Popescu]

[please CC me, I'm not subscribed]

Hello,

I recently installed sid with desktop=xfce and some things I consider 
should definitely be there were *completely missing*. Since we are 
talking about Xfce all my suggestions will be about lightweight gtk 
apps:

- infrastructure: hal (without hal no icon will show up for plugged in 
  removable media)
- GUI package manager: synaptic
- image viewer: gpicview
- pdf viewer: epdfview or maybe even evince-gtk
- IM client: pidgin

Some other apps are pulled in via the generic Desktop task (AFAICT from 
aptitude), but a bit too heavy for a lightweight desktop:

- openoffice.org - for most uses Abiword + Gnumeric are enough
- gimp - gpaint

Regards,
Andrei
P.S. I guess these suggestions are valid also for LXDE

  Isn't it more likely there are issues in your local network setup?
 
 This problem seems unrelated to this bug, but might be due to the
 behaviour of the new resolver, sending both A and  dns queries
 simultaneously, using the same source port, which confuses some routers.
 (ubuntu and fedora disabled this, afaik)

Thanks for the tip, will investigate it.

About the segfault, if you want me to test some images (i386 or amd64) I 
could do it.

Bug#517231: Similar issues with daily-builds from yesterday

[Andrei Popescu]

Package: debian-installer
Followup-For: Bug #517231

Hello,

Not 100% sure if this is related, but wget was segfaulting on the
choose-mirror step. I managed to complete the install by providing
the IP of my mirror.

After the install I see another issue:

$ host asus
asus has address 192.168.0.1

$ ping asus
ping: unknown host asus

(asus is my wireless router)

Maybe there are some issues in libresolv.so.2 ?

I used the daily-build from yesterday of the business-card
image and installed sid directly.

Regards,
Andrei
