No idea about GNU cpio. Is it compatible with BSD cpio ? I can't easily introduce new dependency for portable code. (host-side must be very portable code) It will require investigation.

Bug#783982: D-i: preseed from floppy no longer works !
You said I think you are looking for providing a preseed file, hence my advice https://www.google.nl/search?q=virtualbox+host+http+server+for+guests; 1. You're correct in that I'm looking to provide preseed file. But host-side HTTP server won't work for my needs, unless VirtualBox has it integrated. My technology is aimed at people, who require *zero* configuration, and should work across all hosts. Like click, click, click... Basically I need very minimal (and portable) host-side logic (and move as much complexity into the guest as possible). You said: Do an attended install. Verify that reading from floppy is possible. That is important. It proofs that the Virtualbox host provides a floppy disk controller and that the Vbox guest has a kernel kernel for the f.d.c. Also it shows there is /dev/fd0 (IIRC) 2. Well... you'r right ! /dev/fd0 is the problem ! Yes, I ensured, that VM has floppy controller configured, plus floppy.img inserted. Debian 8 (mini-)kernel (inside amd64-DVD) does NOT see /dev/fd0 ! (part of debian-installer); This works just fine with Debian 6 and 7 ! Post-install Debian 8 kernel _does_ see /dev/fd0, can loop-mount and can read files from it. (after installing from Debian 8 amd64-DVD), so no problem here. The natural question: Are those kernels different ? (I always assumed it is the *same* kernel) It seems the mini-kernel does not provide me with /proc/config.gz, so I have no clue what's included and what's excluded. How can I check ?

Bug#783995: [feature-request] Please allow to view kernel config via /proc/config.gz in all Debian kernels
Why would it be good for this to be exposed inside a container? So that applications know, if they can use advanced features such as AppArmor or not. And to give more complete environment for the admins. Plus, to debug problems inside debian-installer. (it lacks /boot/config), like bug # 783982, where normal Debian 8 kernel supports floppy /dev/fd0, but d-I kernel doesn't. Why it can't be changed in stable releases? I mean if the change is small and beneficial, why not ? (Assuming it doesn't require major kernel source code changes, but only kernel config)
Bug#783995: [feature-request] Please allow to view kernel config via /proc/config.gz in all Debian kernels
Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 3.16.7-ckt7-1 Hi, It would help me very much, if Debian kernel provided a quick ability to see it's own configuration in /proc/config.gz. Reason: in some cases viewing current kernel configuration via # /boot/config-$(uname -r) is not available; For example when working with Debian-installer (booting from DVD), or working inside an OpenVZ (or LXC) container. For those reasons I ask you to enable /proc/config.gz in all supported Debian kernels (Debian 6, 7 and 8), if possible.

Negatives: Inability to backport upstream BIOS fixes into Debian's code. * Move to VirtualBox 4.2 codebase, but keep VBox 4.1 BIOS.

(and X11 drivers, for guest additions) * Full fork of VirtualBox 4.1 (HyperBox ?) Positives: Will offer major new features, that do not exist in Oracle's VirtualBox [1]; More community control.

Bug#659951: CVE-2012-0105
Debian lacks the infrastructure to compile virtualbox-guest-additions-iso, so while the upstream source code is free, the result is not. This is due to dependency on non-free software such as Microsoft DDK, required to compile virtualbox-guest-additions-iso. Therefore: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso is part of the Debian's non-free repository, and therefore unlikely to be fixed. AFAIK Debian's Policy is not to issue security updates for it's contrib and non-free sections. Only support for the main section is covered. Recommended action: CLOSE, WONTFIX (for virtualbox-guest-additions-iso package) What might get fixed, is virtualbox-ose-guest-* packages, which are part of the main section. Do you want to open a separate bug or change the package of this bug ? One more note: v4.1.8 is fixed, according to Oracle.

Bug#658720: Bug#658959: RFS: phpvirtualbox-4.1
I am looking for a sponsor for my package phpvirtualbox-4.1. I use the package on my own on a headless server. It connects to vbox via it's soap interface. Ha-ha ! For some time I expected this one to pop up in Debian, and finally it did :) (I don't use this one myself, but I definitely appreciate it, and it's good, that VirtualBox does more inroad into the server market.) Versions: To minimize confusion, I think it might be better to keep only one version in Debian main -- the one that matches VirtualBox. (Surely I read that 4.0 can manage non-Debian VBox servers, just doubt about the need to support several versions in Debian. I would submit only something that matches Debian's VBox (4.1) to Debian, and keep older (4.0) packages off-tree) How can I download your proposed package (executable + src) ?

Bug#656904: Gnash breaks flash-enabled websites (such as Google Finance)
Package: gnash Version: 0.8.10~git20111001-1 Severity: grave When using IceWeasel (or Chromium) and entering flash-enabled website, like Google Finance. To reproduce: Enter Google Finance: http://www.google.com/finance?q=EURUSD You see gray rectangle. Because this website has a fallback mechanism, removing gnash gives users static content of the web-site. Web-site detects whenever the browser is flash-enabled or not, and gives different content according to it. This package must be either: 1. fixed, or 2. gnash should be avoided on all new desktop installations, or 3. activate gnash only on supported websites, such as YouTube I'm not a developed, but willing to assist in testing.

Bug#656561: Wish: test and include community features into Debian's VirtualBox
Package: virtualbox Version: 4.1.8-dfsg-1 severity: wishlist Hello, I have developed certain new features for VirtualBox, and not get included upstream. I would like to ask for Debian community help, to test and integrate those into Debian's VirtualBox. Namely: Feature A: *Ability to hide desktop GUI VMs from taskbar.* This feature is somewhere in between vboxheadless and standard GUI operation. It is useful when someone has lots of VMs running, but needs only few at a time. This patch is stable. Patch here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=10t=46616 Feature B: *Unattended Install* I have added the ability to automatically install any supported Guest OS in just few clicks... This means complete integration between VirtualBox GUI and Debian Preseed. This patch is experimental, and needs more community testing. Here I ask for help in development of this feature. Patch here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=10t=46798 I am using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.

Bug#655841: Please remove Gnash from default Debian install, as it crashes
gnash is not only installed with KDE, from what I see as its installation is triggerred by the desktop task, that's common to KDE and GNOME, at least. It is triggerred by browser-plugin-gnash. What do you suggest as alternative? I don't think it is a good idea to not provide any flash-enabled web browser. Unfortunately the Free Software community has not yet developed stable flash player, therefore I suggest to avoid installing _unstable_ software by default. The rule of thumb is to avoid regressions in general, and crashes in particular. If a particular (even necessary) component is not ready it should not be pushed into a default desktop installation. It can be provided with a BETA or technical preview label for advanced users to install manually. In many cases, the lack of flash player will _improve_ user experience: www.amd.com and www.google.com/finance are two examples; If they detect browser without flash, they give the user static version of the content. With gnash -- it just crash. Therefore I suggest to remove gnash from the desktop-task, and put a BETA tag in the package description for the near point release (6.0.4). And later make some serious review of this package for Wheezy, before deciding to re-include it by default.

Install fresh Debian-stable squeeze 6.0.3 (I used VM for this purpose)# apt-get install mantis Here is the full output of apt-get: http://qumble.org/downloads/debian6-bug-mantis-install-fails.txt And some screenshots: http://qumble.org/downloads/debian6-bug-dbconfig-common.png http://qumble.org/downloads/debian6-bug-mysql-error.png I'm not sure which component fails, it could be mySQL Server proper, or some configuration tool (dbconfig?), as I'm new to databases. If mysql is the wrong package of my troubles, please forward this bug to proper component. Please suggest a manual fix, and provide fixed packages for Debian 6.0.4. I am using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.3.

Bug#648723: closed by Stuart Prescott stuart+deb...@nanonanonano.net (user should install mysql server on the machine)
Hmmm... OK. Maybe you're technically right, still new users do not expect getting any such errors. However: when during installation of mantis I were asked by dbconfig package what to do with MySQL. It seems natural to allow installation of MySQL during this interactive session on-the-fly, without introducing hard-dependency. Current situation is *very* confusing for new users alike, especially because the installation (of mantis) had interactive questions. Therefore I propose to open feature-request against dbconfig-common package to provide an option to install mysql-server on the fly. (probably for debian-wheezy, because we speak about intrusive change required) Is this acceptable outcome ? -- -Alexey Eromenko Technologov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#641066: Feature-request: Official Debian DL-BD disc
Package: debian-cd Version: 3.1.5 Hi, May I ask you to introduce one new media for next point release of Squeeze (6.0.3 or 6.0.4) ? Dual-layer blue-day disc (aka DL-BD 50 GB disc) -- debian-cd tools already support it. It will allow us to put all of Debian (for single architecture, such as AMD64) into a single physical disc, for those people whom have BD-RW hardware (blue ray writers). Perhaps only for jigdo this time... I ask because it will make life easier for me, and it has really zero chance for regressions for the rest of Debian users. I would like to see DL-BD for 3 architectures: i386, AMD64 and sources. I am using Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 squeeze, and all standard components.

Bug#622159: Bug #622159
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=622159 Yes, I agree.. for Wireshark. For Qemu.. not... Debian's Qemu is not UDP patched, so it won't work with GNS3. Please make Wireshark recommended package. -- -Alexey Eromenko Technologov, 18.May.2011. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
