Re: network-manager for laptop users who install desktop task as well.

Currently, users who choose the GNOME or KDE tasks *do* get stuff for laptops even if they don't have a laptopwhich is perfectly acceptable, IMHO. Similarly, if there is a good network management stuff for lightweight desktop environments, it should be added to these environments, period. Whether this may sometimes be extra stuff for people who do use old computers shouldn't be that a problemat least not more than other components of these desktop environments.

Bug#506954: debian-installer: please include host command on netinst cds
Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Please include host command on netinst cds (and probably on businesscard cds). Having it, would make it easily possible, to install additional packages from a mirror after installation. And: network configuration is an essential part of install procedure. To use global network connection, you need DNS working, or have I missed something? Kind regards Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#504721: Possible reason for serial console misdetection
On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 10:15:47PM +, Jurij Smakov wrote: The logic in reopen-console is the following: [… a very good analysis …] So, the problem is that reopen-console gives preference to the value in 'console handover' line, which is incorrect on sparc (refers to a real terminal console even if one is connecting through serial). If it is obvious, that sparc is unique that way, and it works correctly on other arches, the following (untested) patch might do the trick: […] In order to implement this, I have tried to understand the kernel logic by reading at the relevant part of its source code as I have not been able to find any relevant documentation about all this. Bastian mentioned the console handover message while the issue was initally discussed, but I might just have been entirely wrong in my understanding of its meaning. I'll try to ask around and see whether current console detection in reopen-console is correct for other arches. It would be really great if you could come up with a definite answer on this! :) Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio.''`.

This is not a bug in grub-installer, but in grub itself which the grub maintainers do not want to fix. As it is specific to only qemu we also do not want to create a special case for it in the installer. As a workaround you can install in expert mode and use grub2 which does work correctly with qemu in 64-bit mode.

Unfortunately, the grave problem which renders the whole d-i almost unusable, is invisible selection bar. If I understood correctly, the default text interface (also called the newt frontend) of the installer is unusable without the XVR-500 driver on the SunBlade 2500 because of color issues. As a workaround, you can always use the text frontend which does not uses colors. In order to do so, you need specify DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text at the installer boot prompt.

The driver is in the kernel but you also need to install firmware-iwlwifi from non-free. I installed Lenny on my T-61 using an ISO downloaded around November 10. The installer did prompt me to provide a firmware file but did not inform me that a package was available or offer to enable non-free in order to install it during installation. After installing firmware-iwlwifi, wireless worked fine for me. --- Andrew Malcolmson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
