Bug#505773: debian-installer: Bootable netboot image for USB stick patch
Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 2) Problem with these small USB images and the way they are written is that anything already on the USB stick gets deleted and that - given that most USB sticks nowadays are significantly larger in size - makes most of the stick completely unusable. Same goes for hd-media. If someone could come up with some solution to these problems, that would be great. My suggestion is to separate the concept of making the USB stick bootable from the concept of providing a d-i to boot. Any USB stick only needs to be made bootable once, by installing GRUB or similar. Once it is bootable, the user can add as many boot images as s/he likes, and may want to change/update them frequently - e.g. if testing new d-i releases. So provide a set of instructions (and a GRUB download, if you like) for helping people make their USB sticks bootable. (Remind them that some older systems only boot if the stick is in the superfloppy format, rather than formatted as a hard disk.) Separately, provide d-i releases for USB sticks *on the assumption that the stick is bootable*. This should save everyone lots of trouble. Ideally, a d-i for USB boot should give the user a choice between looking for an ISO on the stick, and connecting directly to a repository (netboot). It seems silly to have to keep two d-i images on the stick to achieve this. One alternative option for the second issue could be to instead create a tarball with everything in it, including syslinux config and a script the user can run manually to make the stick bootable (with appropriate warnings if required commands, possibly checking for availability of alternative commands, are not available). I would expect such a script to become smarter with time as users provide feedback. Yes - there is no reason that the instructions and download for making the stick bootable cannot be bundled with the d-i download. Just make it clear that they can be safely ignored by those whose stick is already bootable.

Bug#377948: Oh dear
It looks as if Jamie has given up trying to get webmin accepted into Debian. Perhaps he was repelled by the tone of Peter's message: in short it seems you have hacked up a way to build a deb without reading the new maintainers guide at all. Jamie had clearly read the guide, and found that it did not enable him to create a perfect Debian package on his first (or third) try. (I can understand his position: I too am trying to build my first Debian package, and I'm finding the documentation insufficiently helpful.) This kind of treatment of a prospective maintainer (especially one who is the upstream author of a popular and widely-used application) is disappointing. I also agree with Stéphane - it would be helpful if this bug appeared more quickly when searching for webmin in Debian - e.g. on http://packages.debian.org/webmin Perhaps a friendly DD out there could have another try at helping Jamie get webmin back into Debian? I'm sure a lot of Debian users would appreciate it. CC This e-mail may contain information which is confidential, legally privileged and/or copyright protected.

Bug#471845: Gallery crashes when trying to remove global view permission
Package: gallery2 Version: 2.2.4-2 Severity: important I have installed and configured gallery2 and uploaded a bunch of photos. I now wish to remove the View All Versions permission from group Everybody (using the Edit Permissions page of the root album). Every time I try to do this I get one of the following two errors: 1: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/helpers/GalleryItemHelper_mediu m.class on line 979 I don't understand this one, since my phpinfo (link below) clearly shows that the max execution time is 630 seconds (I edited /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to increase the time limit). 2: Warning: fopen(/archive/Gallery/locks/1) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Too many open files in /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryPlatform.class on line 326 Warning: GalleryCoreApi::require_once(/usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/.. /../../modules/core/classes/GalleryStatus.class) [function.GalleryCoreApi-require-once]: failed to open stream: Too many open files in /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryCoreApi.class on line 2717 Fatal error: GalleryCoreApi::require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/../../../modules/core/classes/ GalleryStatus.class' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryCoreApi.class on line 2717 This one makes a little more sense, but I cannot find any configuration option to increase the maximum number of open files allowed. I'd be really grateful for any help resolving this - all I want to do is remove global view permission so that my photos can be viewed using a guest password or a registered account. I have posted three times on the G2 support forum and had no respones at all.

Bug#470759: gkrelltopd is installed but gkrellmd does not find it
Package: gkrellmd Version: 2.3.1-1 I have installed gkrelltopd (2.2.10-1), uncommented the line plugin-enable gkrelltopd in /etc/gkrellmd.conf, and restarted gkrellmd. /usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/gkrelltopd.so is present (8516 bytes, date 2007-07-31). But testing with gkrellmd -plist returns a blank line, and gkrellmd -plog says no plugins found. Running the plugin manually with gkrellmd -p /usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins/gkrelltopd.so -plog shows the plugin installed and working. According to /usr/share/doc/gkrellmd/README.gz, gkrellmd searches (among others) /usr/lib/gkrellm2/plugins as it starts up, installing any plugins it finds. This is clearly not working correctly, as the plugin works fine when invoked explicitly. CC This e-mail may contain information which is confidential, legally privileged and/or copyright protected.

The 03/03/08 installer is on my USB fob, but the machine would not boot from it (I think because I had formatted the USB stick as a hard disk rather than as a superfloppy).

I then installed the boot loader, finished the install successfully and rebooted. On rebooting, user chrisc did not exist, and user root could log in with no password!! Oops.

Once I logged in as root (and set a root password) I confirmed that user chrisc had not been created. The sudo package had not been installed either. I cannot reproduce this. If I select no at the question to allow root to login the system is correctly set up for sudo use with root account disabled. Well, maybe the difference is that I minimise the tasksel step. I uncheck all the boxes in tasksel, so it proceeds to install only six packages (ibritish, wbritish, myspell-en-gb etc.). Is it possible that the correct setting up of root and user logins is dependent on packages in the default tasksel selections? This would explain why sudo isn't installed, but not why root logins are not disabled, nor why my local user is not created (I think adduser is installed earlier, during the base system step). Please send us the syslog (gzipped!) for this install. It should be available in /var/log/installer. I'm very sorry, /var/log/installer doesn't exist. Possibly because I removed the installation-report package after submitting this. Stupid of me. If that does not provide sufficient information, we'll probably have to ask you to reproduce the issue with extra debugging during the install.

Bug#467070: More info
Chris Carr wrote: Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2.1.0-2 Severity: important Apologies if this bug is filed against the wrong package. I've installed KDE on an HP530 laptop, and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg says it does not recognise the video hardware (Intel 945GME Express chipset). When chosen manually the reconfiguration completes, but x does not start because /dev/agpgart does not exist. Looks like the AGP modules were not loaded or do not support your hardware yet. You might want to try a more recent kernel and make sure agpgart and intel_agp appear in lsmod (and check dmesg). If not, load them with modprobe. I did modprobe them and they both loaded successfully. X still did not start after they were loaded. I added both to /etc/modules and added alias char-major-10-175 intel-agp to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases No need to do that. udev (or discover or whatever hardware detection soft) should load the AGP modules by default. I only did this because they did not load automatically. After I did it they did load automatically, with no errors, and X still did not start. booting, but /dev/agpgart still does not exist so X still does not start. Probably because recent intel drivers need agpgart to work. See above. agpgart is present and successfully loaded (as is intel-agp), but X still does not start. See above. Note that reportbug would have automatically attached a lot of information that we need to diagnose your problem... But it's pretty clear that the problem is that your AGP modules are not loaded or your kernel does not support your chipset yet. So I am just closing this bug. That may be premature. The kernel is 2.6.22-3, the latest in Lenny. The chipset is several months older than this kernel, so the modules should support it. Is there a way to tell which kernel(s) support which chipset(s)? It would be good if we could look up when support for this chipset was added - if it was before 2.6.22 then this problem may be a bug, if not then you could well be right that a newer kernel is all that is needed. But, I will compile a totally up-to-the-minute kernel and let you know if that solves the problem. If it does not I will reopen the bug. P.S. This email address is protected by a whitelist. Emails from debian.org addresses will get through, others won't. Please don't be offended - I will check this thread for replies. Please don't do that.

Even if you say you will check the thread, you probably won't actually do it regularly for a long time. And, some people may want to contact you privately in some cases too.

Bug#468320: ddclient has inconsistent logic for default refresh intervals
Package: ddclient
Version: 3.7.3-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch-available
I think there is a logic bug in ddclient's sanity checking of
max-interval and min-interval. At the moment both checks use the max of
the default value and the configured value, which doesn't limit the
possible range. My assumption is that what the author intended was to
use the max of the configured and default values for min-interval, and
the min of the configured and default values for max-interval, thereby
limiting the range effectively. A patch to this effect is attached.
Whatever the desired intention, this limiting needs to be mentioned in
the help somewhere. At the moment most of the help is via the -help
switch of ddclient, rather than the man page.
This bug was discovered because DynDNS is writing to tell me that my
account is due to expire after 30 days of inactivity, yet my
/etc/ddclient.conf has max-interval=15d, which should force an update of
my IP every 15 days.

Well, what this logic says is that you can set the
max-interval higher than the default but not lower, and you
can similarly set the min-interval higher than the default
but not lower. That could be what they want - but they need
to explain it somewhere. It's not mentioned on the ddclient

Bug#468322: gkrellmd has unnecessarily high CPU usage
Package: gkrellmd Version: 2.3.1-1 Severity: minor I've been running gkrellmd for several years now. It used to use 5-6% of a 33MHz 486 CPU, which seemed reasonable. It still uses 5-6% (average, standard deviation around 2%) of my two modern CPUs: a 1.8GHz Sempron on one machine and a 2.2GHz AthlonXP on another. In both cases I have set update-hz to 1 to minimise the load, but still the CPU usage fluctuates between about 3% and about 8%, and not infrequently outside that range. It's not the end of the world but it seems odd that polling once per second could use 5% of a 2GHz CPU. CC

Package: Evolution Version: 2.12.2-1+b1 Severity: normal I can connect to my Leafnode NNTP server and subscribe to any offered newsgroups, but Evolution downloads only a tiny fraction of the articles in those groups. I know that certain groups have several hundred articles, because I can see them if I reboot the PC into Windows and connect to the same server using OE. But Evolution shows me only a few articles (between 2 and 30). Clicking refresh on the group folder does nothing. In the account settings I have set check for new messages to every 20 mins, but none of the newsgroup folders ever gets any new messages. Sorry if this is not a bug at all but me doing something really stupid. I have tried all current versions of Evolution (Etch, Lenny, Sid) and this problem occurs in all three. Like I said, I know the server is working fine, because it serves the articles to OE or Thunderbird/Icedove on the same PC.

Evolution has no option for no authentication for NNTP servers (even though it does have this option for SMTP servers). So every time it starts it pops up a dialog box asking for a password for the NNTP server (and there is no way to prevent this popup). This is only minor because it doesn't actually prevent me connecting and reading news once I have cancelled the popup, it just shouldn't pop up that dialog in the first place.

Bug#375041: evolution-exchange: Crashes when querying GAL (Global Address List)
2007/3/28, Rafal Krypa [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I believe, that this patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=84585 fixes this bug. It is still unconfirmed, not accepted and not revisioned by the upstream maintainer (no maintainer responded to my posts on Gnome Bugzilla for over two weeks) but patched version seem to work well at least for me and my workmate. Please test it. Here is a link for whole entry on Gnome Bugzilla for this issue: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368877 If someone can reproduce this bug, I'll be happy to do a build with the referred patch. Øystein I can reproduce this bug consistently on both Etch (2.6.3.dfsg-1) and Sid (2.12.2.dfsg-1). The only reason I cannot reproduce it on Lenny (2.10.3.dfsg-1) is because I can't get that far: bug #457225 prevents me configuring an Exchange account at all with that version. I would very much appreciate a version built using this patch - I lack the skill to build it myself (though I would have a go if there was a guide somewhere - I have the root password on the system so I could try). If such a version is built, I will happily report whether or not it solves this problem. The GAL I am connecting to is very large, btw (10,000+ people). That may or may not be significant.

Bug#454190: Er, no, it isn't!
Sorry folks, false alarm. I have now succeeded in persuading apt-cacher to serve up udebs quite happily to the d-i: my.server:3142 as the server (no separators) and /debian.virginmedia.com/ as the path (note separators at both ends - Virgin's Debian mirror does not use the traditional /debian/ directory, hence it is not included). This works fine - I'm not sure what was wrong before, maybe I just had a problem connecting to ftp.uk.debian.org CC This e-mail may contain information which is confidential, legally privileged and/or copyright protected.

Bug#454190: Is this problem related to #403439?
Hi, I've been following this bug with interest - I have never succeeded in getting apt-cacher to work with d-i, regardless of how many separators I use and what is in path_map. Explicitly, I can confirm that when I point d-i to http://my.server:3142 http://my.server:3142/ , none of the following four paths work: /ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ ftp.uk.debian.org/debian /ftp.uk.debian.org/debian I have been wondering if the problem is actually the same one featured in bug #403439, which is that apt-cacher provides Packages.gz (or Packages.bz2) but d-i requires Packages uncompressed. Apologies if this is totally wrong, but I wondered if it might be part of the problem. If it is, I'm afraid I have no idea how to solve it!

Bug#456322: kmldonkey assumes a core on the same machine
Package: kmldonkey Version: 0.10.1-3 I'm running Debian Etch using 2.6.18-3 Kmldonkey installs without problems. When it is first run, it starts a wizard which assumes that the mldonkey core you wish to manage is running on the same machine. There is no acknowledgement of the possibility that you might only want to connect to a core on a different machine - to do this you have to complete the wizard with dummy answers, click past the inevitable errors and then manually configure the details of the remote core. There is no indication that this is even possible, unless you persevere and dig. At the very least, the first step of the wizard should give you an option to click here if you wish to connect to a core already running on a different machine.

Bug#456166: apt-file does not create /var/cache/apt/apt-file directory so cannot update
Package: apt-file Version: 2.0.8.2 I'm running Debian Etch. I have observed the following behaviour, identical on two Etch boxes (one running 2.6.18.3, the other running 2.6.20): 1. apt-get install apt-file completes successfully, but apt-file search foo returns no results because apt-file update has not been run (already reported as bug #408309). 2. apt-file update gives the error E: Can't write in /var/cache/apt/apt-file: No such file or directory - sure enough, /var/cache/apt/apt-file does not exist. 3. After manually creating the directory and ensuring that it is writable by users who will use apt-file, the update works and apt-file then works normally. (I have verified that apt-file exits with an error when invoked by a user who does not have write privileges to that directory.) I suggest that creation of /var/cache/apt/apt-file, with appropriate permissions, is done as part of the installation of the apt-file package.

Bug#286939: Bug#291928: 2.4.27: medley.o not recognising stripe set
Hi Horms, Thanks for the quick reply yes, 286939 and 291928 are the same bug, experienced with different builds of Debian Installer, so youre right to merge them. Thanks for the tips on closing and adding to bugs. To answer your questions yes, my understanding is that all the fakeraid drivers (ataraid and one of medley, silraid, hpt etc.) rely on a low-level driver to talk to the hardware the fakeraid drivers are really just doing some on-the-fly address translations. So in my case medley.o expects either siimage or sata_sil to be loaded. Secondly, yes, the Debian Installer (in expert mode) always offers me the chance to load siimage and sata_sil, and I always load one of them before manually trying modprobe medley. Its never occurred to me to try loading medley without either of them loaded, but its worth a try (my understanding above might be wrong, or something). Theres one other piece of the puzzle, which I mis-remembered in my original 286939 bug report: manually loading the medley driver worked fine with Debian Installer RC1 (which I think used the same kernel 2.4.27) but at that time I had only a 240Gb array (2 x 120Gb). Is it possible that the step up from 240Gb to 320Gb breaches some 32-bit addressing limit? I looked at the medley.c source and saw quite a bit of stuff about 48-bit addressing not being fully implemented, although that doesnt explain why it works under Knoppix, nor why the error given is No usable RAID sets found rather than any of the array too big errors in medley.c If the medley source hasnt changed, I have no idea why it works in one setup and not in another. Im willing to try different things, but Im right at the limit of my expertise here. Is there an idiots guide to customising your Debian Installer CD image with a different kernel?? I could try putting the Knoppix version of medley.o onto a floppy and loading it into the Debian Installer to see if that works Any hints much appreciated (is there an easier way to do this in 2.6 yet??), CC The original of this email was scanned for viruses by the Government Secure Intranet (GSi) virus scanning service supplied exclusively by Energis in partnership with MessageLabs.
