Bug#228469: cdebconf: Does not display Chinese messages
Package: cdebconf Severity: normal Tags: d-i Though packages have a 100% translation in Chinese, and though the /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.templates files indeed have zh_CN entries, the screens are always shown in English when the Chinese language is selected. This is probably not only a font-related problem as at least some messed up characters should be shown. It just seems that the chinese entries are not recognised in templates files. This is also not directly related to the language being a xx_YY language as things seem to work OK with Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR). I'll make a few further tests: -change some zh_CN.po files to zh.po -change the languagechooser entry to select zh for Chinese -confirm that pt_BR works...and is different from pt -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mykerinos 2.6.0 #1 Thu Dec 18 10:33:22 CET 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Possible problem in the sarge netinstaller
Hi, Yesterday I tried out the last sarge net-install cd-image. When selecting the timezone (during the installation) I had troubles selecting my proper timezone. This because of the following: When I selected the european timezones, the installer displayed other timezones. When I selected the timezones directly under the european zones, I got the european timezones displayed. This behaviour doesn't appear when the config tool is used after the installation has finished. Regards, Dieter Dieter Sarrazyn Security Consultant, CISSP, GCIH Ascure nv.

Re: I can't see the chinese translation in real installaion?
Quoting Carlos Z.F. Liu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): How to resolve this problem? Have I to download the big netinst ISO? I'm not on the list, please cc the reply to me. I found the bug. This is a languagechooser bug. You just need to change the following in languagelist: Chinese (Simplified);zh_CN;zh;CN; To Chinese (Simplified);zh_CN;zh;CN;zh_CN:zh:en_GB:en With this only modification, I was able to choose Chinese from the language list and then I got some Chinese displayed (quite properly as far as I can tell) in the next screens. Of course, as we way in french, this was Chinese to me (common french expression-- c'est du chinois means I don't understand anything). I reported this as a bug against cdebconf. Will reassign it to languagechooser and fix it in CVS. So, if you want to test out Chinese translations, you need to build your own CD with the CVS languagechooser (as soon as I have commited the change). If you really can't, just ask me--I'll try to build an exact copy of beta2 businesscard CD with just languagechooser fixed (or maybe with languagechooser_ng and countrychooser). As a chinese translator, I feel important that you can test your translations. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Beta 2 auth proxy
First, i would tell a great say to all debian-installer developpers for all the job already done!!! I've just a bit problem : I've only get one internet connection, going through an authenticaded proxy. As said in the windows requiring the proxy addresse and password, i put them. The problem is that i have some space in the user name, and special char on the password : For example : username : Vincent Badier, and the pass could have some @ or others.

Re: Beta 2 auth proxy

Then it uses wget to fetch the files.

Bug#228252: SMP detection doesn't work
Hi, for the moment, smp detection doesn't work as the logic is wrong. For a SMP system, a no-smp kernel reports : Processors: 1 and for a uni-cpu, there is no line at all. So you would install a smp kernel only if the grep is positive. But anyway, current kernel used by d-i doesn't work with this technique, I don't know why. After install, I have installed kernel-image-2.4.24-1-686 and I got a Processors: 1 line. I will install kernel-image-2.4.24-1-386 to see I get the line with a 386 kernel. And are you interessed in more x86 cpu detection (others than athlon and P4) or you will use archdetect ?

OldWorld status.
Hello, Just to keep you informed, I managed to build powerpc floppy images booting on OldWorld. Here is a summary : - I get floppy images building. The initrd+kernel don't fit on the bootfloppy image, so I use the floppy image as a raw initrd.gz directly for the kernel. As a consequence, you can't load the initrd from another medium, but we need two floppies anyway, so it wouldn't be of great help. - The cd/net_drivers images are built, too, with net retrieving things on the net_drivers floppy instead of the main one, for space reasons. - A quik-installer component isn't needed, as the quik package does the required magic when installed. OTOH, we'll need an OpenFirmware configuration udeb. - The kernel version is still different from the one used for packages names, which fools anna, which won't install the kernel modules. The modules get loaded from the floppies, however, thanks to the udeb_include thing (i guess). - miBoot's freeness is unclear to me ATM. I guess providing a boot floppy in the contrib/non-free section would be much work for a few OldWorld users that would probably be able to create it themselves if we provide them with detailed instructions, so it's the way I'll take if no miracle happens. Apart from the miBoot thing, I should be able to get a fully working thing by the middle of the week. I'll send patches when everything will be working well here. If someone wants the build patch or images to test right now, just ask.

Not exactly hype when compared to other distros..:-) Network configuration: - The DHCP before, then static option may confuse a novice user. We probably need to have a clearer template when DHCP fails. - Host name asked twice when DHCP fails General organisation: There is no clear choice for *Aborting* installation. The user wanted to abort during partconf because she found that no free space was available for installing Debian (all was allocated to Windows). She first tried Finish installation and rebootbut this started partconf again as this part of the installation hadn't been achieved. The Reboot the system choice may need rephrasing as this is often an Abort option. Partitionning: partconf/cfdisk is a real PITA for beginners. We definitely need anton's partman. partconf strangely warns about an existing filesystem for a newly created Linux partition where I'm sute no mkfs was ever done. LILO installation: No more Windows boot is possible. From a user point of view, Debian behaves just like some Windows flavours--it installs itself as the one and only Operating System on the machine. Not even a lilo.conf editing entry. Bad. LILO, or GRUB should really try to detect other OS'es and add an entry for these in thei respective configuration files. Base-Config: Too bad we choose french. We went into the well-known console-data bug which makes any layout other than US unusable with beta2. We also went into the now well-know apt-config bug which makes the user loop when adding APT sources. By chance, I knew the solution...:-) Proxy setup : As this setup was done on an internal network, a proxy was mandatory for downloading packages. Choose-mirror (and base-config) should really TEST the entered proxy information. One french translation problem-the user did NOT inderstand the mandataire HTTP question (this is how we translate proxy). We definitely need to put the word proxy in there. We erroneously enter the proxy information WITHOUT ending /. This made any download fail badly. The proxy information should really be forced with an ending slash if it doesn't have one. IMHO, no need for re-prompting the user. Tasksel: Debian Jr. means absolutely nothing for anyone outside Debian. This should be rephrased to something like Debian for kids Further installation: We choose a few tasks including X, Desktop environment, C/C++ and a few server entries. I have no idea of the priority debconf was set to (possibly medium). If this is medium, this is probably the consequence of some Go back choice in 1st stage. With medium priority, the number of questions asked by packages is incredibly high. A novice user with basic skills understands nearly none of these questions. So, she came to hitting Enter very quickly without even reading screens And she was lucky I was near her, thus I could stop her when it came to xfree86-xserver screens:-). We really need to piss off maintainers who abuse debconf. THE DEFAULT PRIORITY FOR QUESTIONS SHOULD BE LOW, NOT MEDIUM (I know there is no defaultbut it seems that, for many maintainers, medium is the default). For avoiding this, I think that base-config should re-ask, at the end of its process, the further priority for its questions and force the default value to HIGH, if it is lower. The priority prompt should warn users that choosing anything else than high or critical will lead them to answer a great bunch of questions. I will split off

New Discover Upload Possible?
Hello, I've prepared a new upload of discover1. It's available at http://www.tufts.edu/~dnusin01/discover/. It includes numerous fixes, including the module load sorting fix and support for 2.6 kernels. If an upload won't break beta2 for any arch's I'd appreciate it if someone would sponsor the upload. I want to get this tested, particularly the 2.6 support, before release. These should hopefully be the last major changes to discover1, and we can start to focus on getting discover2 ready.

Bug#228638: installer not working properly on oldworld powerpc
Package: debian-installer Version: (unknown, from sarge netinstall cd) After booting into linux, right after starting the installer the screen goes to black. If I switch to other console it works, I can see the process running and kill the installer, it will start automatically again in that console, but with serious graphical glitches (not highlighting the current choice, not responding to keyboard, and things like that). My machine is a PowerMac 7200/120, booting with BootX, using kernel 2.4.22-powerpc-small (the one that comes in the netinstall cd doesn't work), the ramdisk (root.bin) is the one that comes in the cd.

I say this, because on the parted mailing list, less than a week ago, it was claimed that libntfs didn't support resizing. That's entirely possible, but there is code in the same source distribution to support it, regardless of whether it's currently part of the library. Still, i wonder what the use of many outside library would mean to libparted and its use in debian-installer, where size matters. Depending on the robustness of the ntfsresize commandline interface, perhaps this can be included as a lower-priority udeb that libparted (partman?) can interface with iff it's available? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

At the choose language screen the first line was a series of ? I selected italian as language and it as keymap. then I sed 'no' to loading drivers from floppy and went to a network card list. This machine has two network cards but I do not knew either models, so I tried all of them without being lucky. I went back to the main menu and selected 'load drivers from floppy disk' and loaded the cd and net floppies. Then I was prompted for what network card to use as main card. Since I had two network card I didn't know which one was eth0, so I had to random pick one. The network cards were both recognized by the eepro100 driver, dhcp worked and I selected a proxy. Perfect. The SCSI controller is recognized by the ncr53c8xx driver as 53c895 Symbios. sda is a SEAGATE ST39175LC 8683MB (20Mb/s) sdb is a FUJITSU MAH3091MC 8716MB (33Mb/s) sdc is a FUJITSU MAG3128LC 17429MB (29Mb/s) So I decided to create only one partition per disk of type 8E (for LVM) and a swap partition. Then I created one VG and two LV. Everything went right. The file system were created and mounted, the base system download and installed, but when installing the kernel package kernel-image-2.4.34-1-386 I got a fatal error. There were no error messages in tty4 and I followed the menu to select a new kernel, but the list only shown one (that) menu, so I selected it and press 'continue'. It worked. Then I tried to install lilo (since grub wouldn't work on LVM, I think), but when selecting 'install lilo' I was brought to the 'install kernel' menu. Probably it didn't really work :-( Last few lines in tty4 were: DEBUG: Menu item 'lilo-installer' selected DEBUG: configure lilo-installer, status: 2 DEBUG: configure kernel-installer, status: 4 DEBUG: configure created-fstab, status: 0 DEBUG: virtual package created-fstab info: Found kernels 'kernel-image-2.4.23-1-386' I then decided to restart the installation without LVM. I went back to 'partition a hard disk' and the system let me repartition all disks even if they were already mounted in /target! I only changed the type of every partition to 83 (linux.) Then I selected 'configure and mount partition'. The installer told me that the partition were already

Clean code is far from being my best quality, even for sheel scripts, which are the only ones I'm really able to write. So, making all this cleaner is really needed, but I would appreciate if someone does it : otherwise, I would lose a lot of time trying to do so, without real efficiency. So, I will currently only fix the errors aboveat least for today. I've done some cleanup.. I don't understand the use of COUNTRYCODE_LANGUAGECHOOSER. It seems that is the selected country is the same as the default country as set in this variable, then LOCALE will not be set, and debian-installer/locale will be set to . Is there a reason to have countrychooser/default-country? Nothing currently uses it. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

That was an anonymous user lock, and quite stale, so I've deleted it. We have a general problem with anoncvs locks, I've found. Thanks, I committed anna/debian/po/bs.po.
