grouping countrychooser list by region
I have committed some code to group the countries in the chountrychooser into regions. It adds a regionmap, which maps between country codes and regions, and a countrylist, which orders the list. There is some very gross trickery to make the countries under a region be indented prettily, while working around some infelicites of debconf, po-debconf, and probably cdebconf. It involves unicode non-breaking spaces. And then there is the hacking to add the actual indents to the translated strings from iso-codes. Nasty, and needs a better way. Anyway, what needs to be done to complete this is: 1. Finish adding all the country codes to the regionmap. Uncategorised countries will be under other for now. 2. Add the strings from the regionmap to the po files. Until this is done, they are not translated, and so po-debconf does not translate the choices lists at all. I can do 1. (eventually), but don't know how to deal with 2. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#228654: installation-reports: ide-detect lockup on Alpha PWS500a
Thanks for the report. We have 2.4.24 kernel images in the archive for d-i, but I hadn't yet switched to using them for the daily builds. This is done now, and tomorrow's ISOs should be 2.4.24-based. Would you be willing to give them a try? I'd be happy to. Is there any way of skipping the IDE detection or telling it not to try different chipsets? Have you filed a bug on the kernel-image packages about the tulip/de4x5 issue, by chance? No, I'm 99% certain that the problem isn't really in the ethernet drivers. It's the machine's buggy PCI/IDE chipset causing the drivers to fail. If I put another network card in one of the PCI slots it will also fail. From my understanding, the problems with these particular machines have been known for a while. http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2003/debian-alpha-200308/msg00082.html The odd thing is that the 2.4.2x Debian kernels do boot and appear to function properly (outside of bringing up a network interface.)

Put the drive in another PC and use debootstrap to create a base system. Or install another distro, make a base with debootstrap another PC, copy it over and untar it, etc. So it turns out, having installed Linux to the one drive which is visible to Linux, that the BIOS won't boot from that drive. And I can't use lilo to install a boot block on the bootable SATA drive, because Linux can't see that drive And I can't put the SATA drives in another machine, because this is the only machine with a SATA connection.

Re: grouping countrychooser list by region
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I have committed some code to group the countries in the chountrychooser into regions. It adds a regionmap, which maps between country codes and regions, and a countrylist, which orders the list. I will soon commit my updates to the regionmap list. Very few countries remains unlocated, most of them because I have a doubt on their location. I have some objections to the way you sorted countries. The most important is the The Middle East region. I highly prefer sorting countries in continents by using some natural borders, or highly historical ones. The Middle East leads us in some strong difficulties : where does it start and end.Should Afghanistan be there or in a Central Asia with vague borders. This is why I only kept the following, which are still not exempt of difficulties: North America Central America (includes Antilles) South America Asia Africa Europe (former USSR republics of Caucase put in there) Oceania (rather than Australia) Antarctica Indian Ocean Of course, one may argue that the number of countries is quite high in some regionsbut trying to go deeper will clearly lead us in some very sensitive political problems. I already had problems with Indonesia, Timor and Papua-New Guinea, between Asia (Indonesia is traditionnally put in there) and Oceania. I have used borders used by most sport federations for limiting continents. This is the only widely accepted criterion, as far as I know (though it has some exceptions like Israel being part of Europe...this for avoiding strongly dangerous confrontations) Let's see if we find this usable. PS : regionmap is not sorted anymoreI have to do this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I highly prefer sorting countries in continents by using some natural borders, or highly historical ones. I did consider that. The problem to my way of thinking is that even natural borders are a fairly abstract concept. If you go down this path, you may end up with Central America in North America. Or with Europe and Asia in Eurasia. Depending on who you ask. I think the best thing to do is to put countries in the region which one would naturally expect to find them without being pedantic about it. Note that the code allows listing a country as part of two or more regions as well. Oceania (rather than Australia) I have to wonder if the Aussies will think to look there, or will be perplexed to not find Australia New Zealand in their own category as they traditionally are.

Bug#228755: installation-reports: Installation report: Debconf abuse by several packages
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal This is a standard Debian Installer report. However, it is not really interesting as is : everything work quite well and all d-i problems are indeed known problems. The problem is elsewhere: ALL DD, please go to the end of the report and look at the number of screens users are shown. Twenty-Seven screens, several of these belonging to obscure packages Joe User is even not aware of. This report will lead to subsequent bug reports against the given packages asking them to *lower* the debconf priority they use. I will make another installation with ALL tasks selected in tasksel. I'm already prepared to a nightmare. PLEASE fellow DD's, STOP ABUSING DEBCONF. Avoid notes about software upgrades when no upgrade is done. Avoid using high priority questions for anything that has a reasonable default. Stop thinking that your package is the most important in the distro and thus needs prompting for each and every setting it has. Or at least, do this at low priority.

I don't have a floppy on the machine but every time it takes a few seconds to try and load it. Now, the big problems: - discover just hung for a *long* time (30 minutes), it was called with 'modules-detect all', iirc. This was in the postinst of discover after the 'base system' had been installed and it was installing 'extra components', iirc. I didn't see any kernel oops or anything abnormal, and I was able to kill discover off (though it just restarted and got stuck at the same place). Eventually I just hacked up the postinst to act like it didn't find anything (MODULES=). This got me through the rest of the install and to reboot. - On boot, everything looked alright except after saying something like 'lp0: detected blah blah' nothing else showed up. It looked to have just hung at that point. Maybe it was trying to load up some framebuffer or maybe X is supposted to start at that point? I dunno, but I couldn't do anything, none of the other consoles appeared to be up or anything. I recall being warned that there might be a problem with the current X in Debian and the graphics card in my laptop (ATI Radeon IGP 345M 64MB (shared)), though 4.3 (released *how* long ago?) supports it.

Re: grouping countrychooser list by region
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I think it would help to look at how KDE handles some of these edge cases. After this we had an interesting discussion on IRC No real conclusion : though some regions are nearly obvious, we end up on some difficult cases we sorting out countries. (The short list for regions was America, North and Central, America, South, Europe, Caribbean, Asia, Africaand maybe Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Australia/New-Zealand and Other.Americas was a problem with different perception from different people.) Finally, Steve Langasek brought up an intersting suggestion : instead of sorting countries by regions, why not first show the user with the countries his/her language is used, then show the whole list (either after, or as a separate choice). For instance, users choosing French in languagechooser are presented with: Belgium France Switzerland Canada ...lots of African countries... ... Other where Other shows up the full list (or all other countries listed alphabetically) This would require translators to maintain a list of preferred countries for their own languages, however. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

2. Add the strings from the regionmap to the po files.
Until this is done, they are not translated, and so po-debconf
does not translate the choices lists at all.
I can do 1. (eventually), but don't know how to deal with 2.
To add strings to the PO files, you can mark these strings as if
regionmap was a C file, ie
ML gettext(Africa)
AO gettext(Africa)
...
Then add
../regionmap
to debian/po/POTFILES.in and run debconf-updatepo, these strings are now
written into PO files.
Here is a patch and an updated regionmap file.

Debian installer beta2 - After the first boot after the install, usb keyboard not working any more
Hello, I've not well understood how to report bugs for the installer so I try writing here... I find this a grave bug: I can make all the firs part of the install (booting from the cd), but after having installed lilo and rebooting, I can proceed no more in base-setup since it does not recognise my USB keyboard any more. I had to plug in a PS/2 keyboard to continue. Thanks, Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Christian Perrier wrote: Finally, Steve Langasek brought up an intersting suggestion : instead of sorting countries by regions, why not first show the user with the countries his/her language is used, then show the whole list (either after, or as a separate choice). For instance, users choosing French in languagechooser are presented with: Belgium France Switzerland Canada ...lots of African countries... ... Other where Other shows up the full list (or all other countries listed alphabetically) This would require translators to maintain a list of preferred countries for their own languages, however. This has the potential to be pretty good but I'm unsure how to approach it. I'd like to avoid having a large number of templates (one per language) listing the countries for each language, but building a translated list of countries on the fly could be tricky. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#228654: installation-reports: ide-detect lockup on Alpha PWS500a
On Tue, Jan 20, 2004 at 04:33:44AM -0600, John Lightsey wrote: Thanks for the report. We have 2.4.24 kernel images in the archive for d-i, but I hadn't yet switched to using them for the daily builds. This is done now, and tomorrow's ISOs should be 2.4.24-based. Would you be willing to give them a try? I'd be happy to. Is there any way of skipping the IDE detection or telling it not to try different chipsets? cough The best method I've found so far is to switch to console #2 as soon as the language question comes up, and remove the troublesome modules from /lib/modules/version/kernel/. You can also boot the installer with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low, in which case it will still try to probe all the modules in order, but at least it will let you specify options to insmod that will break the attempt to load it (pain...). Our real goal, of course, is to get the autodetection right so it doesn't *try* IDE chipset modules that will cause problems. Have you filed a bug on the kernel-image packages about the tulip/de4x5 issue, by chance? No, I'm 99% certain that the problem isn't really in the ethernet drivers. It's the machine's buggy PCI/IDE chipset causing the drivers to fail. If I put another network card in one of the PCI slots it will also fail. From my understanding, the problems with these particular machines have been known for a while. http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2003/debian-alpha-200308/msg00082.html The odd thing is that the 2.4.2x Debian kernels do boot and appear to function properly (outside of bringing up a network interface.) I would expect it to work in the installer if you can still skip the network configuration. Hrm, very strange. And on your system, which module does d-i try for your ethernet card -- the one that hangs, or the one that just doesn't work? Anyway, the images should be posted by this point -- feel free to give them a try. Thanks again, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

That mean it can't go into Debian GNU/Linux. FreeDOS is in contrib for the same reason. My plans so far are to create a miBoot package for the contrib section, make d-i build-depend on it, fill an RC-bug about this, then request a sarge-ignore tag. Hopefully me or someone else will find a solution for the next release. Does it sound reasonable ? I thought miboot was simply the bootloader, that would need to be pointed at the d-i images to be booted? It's _inside_ the image.

It would make much more sense for the apt configuration step in the installer to overwrite apt files ALWAYS.

I did built d-i from today CVS and noticed this: - hostname at reboot is localhost (Im sure this is an old problem) even if specified differently during the installation. /etc/hosts is indeed correct. - for kernel 2.4.19 are missing modules/userland utils. An example is evms. It is possible to install the userland but not load any module. That makes the userland useless. - on the console (busybox) a number of commands do not work. ex: ifconfig, modprobe. keep printing the enabled functions in busybox. - at d-i modules selection time number 18) is missing a description i hope to remember correctly that was 18 but anyway it just claim: 18) for debian-installer - lilo config should be regenarated after the first reboot with a more commented one. - mkswap is enabled in busybox but it is still not possible (if not by hand) to create a swap partition automatically. Then i made some experiments using kernel-2.4.20 to install changing of course the version in the Makefile and in order to make it fitting on the disk i dropped the isapnp card support (no need for my laptop). Well of course the first problem is the size. 1 floppy is not enough. It arises the same problem of kernel modules/userland utilities (this time for lvm as well). The installer anyway cannot go further the partition harddisk. It looks like it cannot find the partitions even if they are there. I was not able to force it to proceed even mounting the partitions by hand. Thanks to everyone. except from this small things I had a really good feeling using it.

Bug#225861: status
I have fixed the backing up from the dhcp retry y/n prompt. The backup issue from the first page of static config is more challenging. It actually works ok, but it backs up to the question where the type of networking (dhcp/static) is chosen. Problem is, that is not displayed at high priority, and if it is not displayed then the user is dumped into the dhcp retry again. Granted, they can hit back again to get back to the main menu given my fix above, but this is still a touch annoying. It may be that this is really cdebconf's fault. If this were debconf, it would keep track that the user is backing up at the static config question. When the networking type question is not displayed, debconf would make the next GO return 30 anyway, as if they had backed up more. I'll bet cdebconf does not do that. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Keyboard deathinstalling on Dimension XPS 8250

Bug#228839: Should re-ask the debconf-priority question at the end of base-config
Package: base-config Version: 2.08 Severity: normal When debian-installer, for some reason, went into a problem, the debconf priority is automatically lowered from high to medium. This setting remains after base-config runs and thus the user is presented with a big bunch of questions during the packages installation process which follows. I suggest adding a debconf priority setting item to the base-config menu, designed for being run at the end of the process, with the default value reset to high. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mykerinos 2.6.0 #4 Sat Jan 17 10:16:28 CET 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Versions of packages base-config depends on: ii adduser 3.51 Add and remove users and groups ii apt 0.5.21 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii aptitude0.2.13-2 curses-based apt frontend ii bsdutils1:2.12-6 Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite ii console-data2002.12.04dbs-28 Keymaps, fonts, charset maps, fall ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-46Linux console and font utilities ii debconf 1.4.7Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.0.3-17 Change and administer password and -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This has been happening with all of the the Sarge install ISOs (not only netinst) since I have been trying them for about six weeks. It also happens with Woody BF24--even on the single rescue.bin floppy. The same boot CD and floppies do work successfully on other machines. As far as installation reports go, it would be nice if there was a mail address right on the install page to which we could sent without having to figure out that we need to get subscribed to this mail list.
