Huh? Holger, you said switching to a different VT (with Ctrl-Alt-Fx) this doesn't work, right ? but was this tested on i386 or x86 ? In the latter case, that's a known issue, but i never heard f vt switching broken on i386.

It was broken on i386 this time. I have just checked and the same workaround we already had for in place for amd64 is now also required for i386. I have committed the necessary changes. It would be nice if somebody could check if it is needed for powerpc as well. The German keyboard issue is unrelated. With VT switching fixed I have been able to check that the keyboard _is_ correct in the shell on VT2 and VT3, so it looks like the keymap reloading for directfb is broken somehow. If I check VT1, the messages about keymap reloading are indeed missing; these messages are displayed if I test with an Etch image. Attilio: it would be great if you could look into this. pgpBK3LRo7hxJ.pgp Description: PGP signature

No idea exactly what, but I suspect gcc. directfb itself has had an upload after Etch, but that included only minor changes. I doubt it is really worthwhile to investigate exactly what changed. The German keyboard issue is unrelated. So, again something has changed after etch release, which now prevents keyboard reloading (which instead worked in etch) from working: any clue about what it may be ? Nope.

It is nothing in D-I itself. directfb seems unlikely too. This one is all yours. I built to i386 installers (build_netboot_gtk target) from svn trunk and etch branch, patching both the vt crash and the keymap bugs, see below regards Attilio 1) *Etch installer* - Keymap bug is not reproducible (italian keymap works perfectly) - VT crash bug is reproducible, the patch consists in providing libgcc.so.1 via EXTRAFILES, like we did for amd64 previously (i suspect also PPC may need this workaround) 2) *Lenny installer* - Keymap bug is reproducible: because in lenny we use gtk 2.10.x (2.8.x is instead used in etch) and GDK_WINDOWING_DIRECTFB is not defined, and because of the #ifdef's i removed in the attached patch, the code which reloads the keymap is no longer built into the gtk frontend, which consequently doesn't reload the keymap. The attached patch should be commited in trunk only. -VT crash bug is not reproducible because libgcc is already provided in lenny installer by some udeb Index: cdebconf/src/modules/frontend/gtk/gtk.c === --- cdebconf/src/modules/frontend/gtk/gtk.c (revisione 47245) +++ cdebconf/src/modules/frontend/gtk/gtk.c (copia locale) @@ -49,13 +49,7 @@ #include debian-installer/slist.h #include gdk/gdkkeysyms.h -#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,10,0) -#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_DIRECTFB #include directfb.h -#endif -#else -#include directfb.h -#endif #define WINDOW_WIDTH 800 #define WINDOW_HEIGHT 600 @@ -1493,14 +1487,7 @@ * for dfb to support automatic keymap change detection and reloading * (See also bug #381979) */ - -#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,10,0) -#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_DIRECTFB dfb_input_device_reload_keymap( dfb_input_device_at( DIDID_KEYBOARD ) ); -#endif -#else -dfb_input_device_reload_keymap( dfb_input_device_at( DIDID_KEYBOARD ) ); -#endif gtk_rc_reparse_all();

No, I don't see why Etch would need it. Only unstable/lenny. It is quite likely that powerpc needs it too. I plan to discuss what to do about this lib with some people at debconf. Still not completely sure if we really want to add this lib or not. First it is 41k and I don't think we could reduce the lib. Also, it would be the first udeb for the gcc-4.2 and as having a udeb does complicate migrations for any source package, I'm rather reluctant to request that for something as big as gcc unless it is really needed. pgp7dPGlo3V7r.pgp Description: PGP signature
