Bug#929877: installation-reports: Buster installer hangs at hard disk step with arabic language

Thanks! > Leaving this bug open as a reminder for the "real" problem inside of gtk (?) Tagging accordingly. To gtk+2.0 maintainers: the debian installer is getting hung inside the graphical debconf (and not in the textual debconf) when trying to make gtk+2.0 display "لاحقاً" and we have replaced it with "لاحقا" as a workaround for Buster, but we'll have to fix this bug eventually.

That looks fair. I have committed the proposed fix now. @butterflyoffire: could you please take a look at https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/commit/fa17b7afffb2ee4888a371efa4153c5c075915e7 to double-check if the fix is fine by you?

Personally, I don't think I'll have the time to debug what is actually happening inside gtk until the release, so even if it's ugly, I guess the browntape fix is the least worst I can come up with.

How should we proceed here? Since we are late in the freeze, and it's most probably not that easy to find out what happened and what the real issue is: should we go with the "work-around" proposed by Butterflyoffire and confirmed to fix the issue by Samuel?

I however see it used in various places, notably in the grub installer: msgid "" "Warning: If the installer failed to detect another operating system that is " "present on your computer, modifying the master boot record will make that " "operating system temporarily unbootable, though GRUB can be manually " "configured later to boot it." msgstr "" "تحذير: إن كان برنامج التثبيت قد فشل باكتشاف نظام تشغيلٍ آخر موجودٍ على حاسوبك، " "فإن تعديل سجلّ الإقلاع الرّئيسي سوف يجعل نظام التّشغيل ذاك غير قابلٍ للإقلاع " "مؤقّتاً، إلّا أنّه من الممكن تهيئة GRUB يدويّاً لإقلاعه لاحقاً." That one however shows up without any concern, that's odd... Samuel

While ButterflyOfFire reported to be unable to reproduce this, I can indeed reproduce this with qemu here. Looking more closely, that bug is there for me with the rc1 installer, however not with the alpha5 one. So, that would come down to this two commits (if it's a matter of arabic translations): https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/commit/1e16f41d79578a47a370c7a47ec49abdcfc7fb52 https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/commit/5654defa9a4b75196e83e905465cd3aa8704c093 @ButterflyOfFire: is there something eye-catching problematic with one of these changings?

Bug#929877: installation-reports: Buster installer hangs at hard disk step with arabic language
Hi, Tested right now on my laptop, I cannot reproduce the bug. It seems working. Tested with : kvm -cdrom /var/tmp/d-i/debian-buster-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso -drive file=blip -m 1G Salutations,
Bug#929877: installation-reports: Buster installer hangs at hard disk step with arabic language
Package: installation-reports Severity: serious Justification: prevents from installing at all in arabic language Hello, Cc-ing debian-l10n-arabic because they can perhaps look at the partman translation files and check that there is nothing odd in the file (e.g. odd ligatures or such odd thing that might disturb gtk). While doing some tests, I noticed that when running the installer in arabic language, the hard disk detection step hangs. To reproduce: - dd < /dev/zero > blip bs=1M count=1 seek=1 - kvm -cdrom /var/tmp/d-i/debian-buster-DI-rc1-amd64-netinst.iso -drive file=blip -m 2G - Select the graphical installer - Select the arabic language - Select that you don't care that not everything is translated - Select everything by default except typing non-empty passwords and user name The partman packages get loaded but the installer remains stuck at the attached screenshot. /var/log/syslog does not provide more information than what we get when doing all the same in English. The ongoing processes showing up in ps are udpkg --configure --force-configure partman-base /var/lib/dpkg/info/partman-base.postinst configure /bin/partman parted_server /lib/partman/display.d/10initial_auto Switching to VT4 to see the log then going back to VT5 shows a fully gray screen, so I guess it's the gtk frontend which is somehow stuck due to something in the arabic translation? I tried today's weekly build, with the same result (the only difference being that it doesn't warn that not everything is translated).
