 4.7GB DVD size, as there's no point to keeping to that limit on later
 discs. Other arches and source DVDs will also not be affected -
 there's also no point messing with them AFAICS. Please correct me if
 you think I'm wrong here!
 
 For a 1GB or 2GB (or even 8GB/16GB) image, we *can* add more builds
 targetted to fit those sizes, but I would rather make those be totally
 separate builds; they're not close enough to any of the current
 standard sizes that we generate IMHO.
 
 Thoughts?

A good general principle would be to not add custom sizes that are
smaller than the size of the typically well-tested CD media. A 500mb
iso is likely to be nearly useless because it will never fit Gnome, for
example, and so will end up having to download nearly as much from the
network as would a netinst iso.

Absolutely. I'm also tempted to declare for Wheezy onwards that we
can't support single-CD installations for KDE and Gnome anyway -
single CDs are just not big enough any more for a full(ish) featured
desktop.

The Install Base System task fails with this message:

And in syslog I get:

I added some debug output to /var/lib/dpkg/info/bootstrap-base.postinst
and the actual bootstrap command is:

log-output -t debootstrap run-debootstrap --components-main \
  --debian-installer --resolve-deps wheezy /target file:///cdrom/

As a workaround, if the file:///cdrom/ argument is removed the installation
completes fine, but I guess that is just because the installer is downloading
everything from the net, right?

Any idea of what is going on?

Thanks,

 BOOTIF is a pxelinux boot parameter. It is supported by the Debian
 initramfs when pxe booting, but it is not supported by the Debian
 installer.
 
 Perhaps it should be. In the meantime, you can use the documented
 preseeding interface of booting with interface=eth1. I don't think
 netcfg allows specifying a interface by MAC though.

I guess the following changes do kind of a job:
etc/udev/rules.d/69-bootif.rules (inside the installer's initrd)
ACTION==add, SUBSYSTEM==net, IMPORT{program}=bootif $attr{address}

lib/udev/bootif (inside the installer's initrd)
#!/bin/sh

bootif=$( /proc/cmdline sed 's/.*[[:space:]]BOOTIF=\([-0-9A-Fa-f]\+\).*/\1/' 
| tr '[A-F-]' '[a-f:]')

if [ 01:$1 = $bootif ]; then
  echo INTERFACE_NAME=eth0
fi

Unfortunately, this seems to go a little too far. My test system comes
up with the second interface being the bootif, so it's eth1 without
these additions. With my additions, the following numbering happens:

MAC Addresswithout additionswith additions
 Aeth0 eth4
 Beth1 eth0
 Ceth2 eth3
 Deth3 eth5

The /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that is being generated
has the first interface found twice:

ATTR{address}   NAME with additions
 Ceth2
 Ceth3
 Beth0
 Aeth4
 Deth5

I guess there may be a race going on. Is there any possibility to have
bootif honored without generating a broken 70-persistent-net.rules and
with still having the interfaces numbered consecutively?

Greetings
Marc

 Unfortunately, this seems to go a little too far. My test system comes
 up with the second interface being the bootif, so it's eth1 without
 these additions.

This seems to be the fault of the additional rule which gives the
impression that the rule is actually doing something. Even when I
replace the bootif script with a call to true, I get multiple stanzas
per interface in 70-persistent-net.rules.

Do I need to say in the 69-bootif.rules that this should be treated as
a no-op rule?

Greetings

The related Ubuntu bug has a patch as well:

(Matt already mentioned he doesn't like that patch, so it's not a permantent 
solution.
But if you are just looking for a quick fix for now, you can use it in your own 
build).

So, these are pulled in by the discover package, particularly by
discover-pkginstall.

I don't see any way to disable it by preseeding. While
discover uses the discover/install_hw_packages debconf question,
it uses it in a way that ignores preseeding. (This is easily a bug.)

The only option I see for now is to use preseed/early_command to
rm /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/20install-hwpackages

Or, to remove the packages in preseed/late_command.

  Hi, testing is currently uninstallable since debootstrap (as of 1.0.28)
  no longer uses md5 for integrity checks.  It can make use of various
  shaXYZsum instead.  I think providing sha1sum should be sufficient, but
  it may make sense to provide more than that.
 
 The version you quote (which is not yet in testing) provides sha256sum. Is
 that not sufficient then?

Downgrading this bug as it'll be preventing the fix from reaching
testing.

If this version of busybox-udeb actually does not work, I second Thijs's
request for details.

Note that base-installer 1.116 is also needed, and also not yet in
testing. Really, it's fairly pointless to be using wheezy_d-i CD images
at this point in the development cycle. Perhaps the fix for this is
just to point the CD symlinks at the sid_d-i images.

that the change had been / was being undone. Looking at the archive on

We're still working out the precise details, but the general plan is to
aim for 6.0.1 being during FTPMaster's upcoming meeting in Essen. That
starts on the 21st so, working backwards, two weeks would take us to the
coming weekend.

If it's possible to get the source upload in by the end of the weekend,
that would be great. Hopefully getting all the builds in for squeeze
quickly will be no problem; we sometimes ended up cutting things rather
fine in the past for lenny (e.g. arm taking several days to build and a
race condition somewhere in the build setup process which meant some
architectures needed three attempts at the build for some uploads).

Otavio: other than lkdi and the d-i build itself (which I guess could be
a binNMU this time?) which obviously need to come afterwards, are any of
your other proposed uploads dependent on the timing of the kernel
uploads?

Regards,

Adam

It cannot be a binNMU since there are at least two changes in
debian-installer for squeeze.

Re: Touchscreen support in d-i

2011-03-01 Thread Thibaut Girka

Just so you know, I've started a new virtual keyboard project to address
the second issue.

It is inspired by matchbox-keyboard to a certain extent and compatible
with its GTK input method (meaning, if you have matchbox-keyboard-im and
use it, the keyboard will pop up only when needed, as matchbox-keyboard
used to).

The main concern of this project is i18n: indeed, where all (I honestly
haven't found one that doesn't) on-screen keyboards use their own
format, and thus, require someone write a config file for each layout,
this one will fetch both keyboard geometry (currently, it will use the
Alpha section of pc105 keyboards) and layout from X (using XKB).
This, plus pango for text rendering, should make it work out of the box
for any layout.

However, the project is pretty young, suffers from a few bugs, its code
should be cleaned up a bit, there should be some way to save additional
space, and improve its look, so, any help would be appreciated!
Oh, and more importantly, it needs a proper name.

Anyway, it is usable already, and the current code can be found at
http://hg.sitedethib.com/gikbd/

Can Debian installer be started and installed on the same CF Flash?
We would like users to be able to make their own installation using
Debian installer and network. Therefore a minimal installer should
reside on CF. A bonus would be the installer being recognized by
Grub2 and proposed as a rescue boot.

I followed instructions from the Debian installer hd-media.
This is an ALIX 2D13 board with serial console.

So I modified sys.conf to boot from console (ok).
Then I modified the image bootloader with serial console support (ok).

Now the CD net-install image boots but does not recognize the flash
drive.

I am aware that PXE installation works. But we would like to offer users
and installer on FLASH to ease installation.

I'd recommend trying the netboot (not netinst!) image: download its
linux kernel and initrd.gz from eg.
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/
(or alternatively download netboot.tar.gz from two levels higher and
extract them from it), and configure Grub2 to load those. Then you'll
get the equivalent of a PXE installation, but started from flash.

  The autopartition was a problem!
  The autopartition (with home) made the root partition 1.8G. This is not  
  enough for the install (with only desktop selected, no custom changes) = I  
  had to reinstall. (Reinstalling at this moment = succes story with pci dump 
  will follow..)

  When you want something different then ext3, you have to change all 
  partitions manually. A global choice would be handy

  When you change a partitions size, the partition will be resized 
  immediately. This is annoying, because it unnecessary takes time.
  (I choose to erase all partitions previously)

Hi,

automatic partitioning uses the defined default filesystem.
Having a choice for the filesystem in the auto-partitioning beats the whole 
purpose of the auto-partitioning.
If you want customized partitioning you can select and edit each partition 
(which can be 1, 2 or 4 in auto-partitioning) or you can use the manual 
partitioning.

 The adapter fails to initialize, seems to be due to missing firmware. 
 Did you add it later (i see the controller starts working later) ?
 If not, the procedure is described in the installation manual [1].
 The firmware is available on non-free on the package: firmware-qlogic
 Somehow (maybe the fw is not mandatory) the storage is detected.

Dieter,

If the lenny version of grub-pc boots the machine, but the squeeze one
does not, then this is a grub-pc regression, and its maintainers would
probably be most interested to hear about this issue, so please reassing
the bug appropriately.

If you can't use the lenny (or any other working) version of grub-pc for
some reason, then you might want to try another bootloader, like for
example extlinux.

Since you checked that Grub2 is indeed installed to the right device
(it's usual place is the first sectors of the disk starting with the
MBR, before the first partition), this bug probably does not belong to
Debian Installer in the strict sense.

   Hi, testing is currently uninstallable since debootstrap (as of 1.0.28)
   no longer uses md5 for integrity checks.  It can make use of various
   shaXYZsum instead.  I think providing sha1sum should be sufficient, but
   it may make sense to provide more than that.
  
  The version you quote (which is not yet in testing) provides sha256sum. Is
  that not sufficient then?
 
 Downgrading this bug as it'll be preventing the fix from reaching
 testing.
 
 If this version of busybox-udeb actually does not work, I second Thijs's
 request for details.

I was busy working on other things and blindly accepted the version
number from my unstable box where I generated the bug report, not the
actual vm where I ran into the issue.

Having sha256sum available may be enough, but I haven't looked at that.

 Note that base-installer 1.116 is also needed, and also not yet in
 testing. Really, it's fairly pointless to be using wheezy_d-i CD images
 at this point in the development cycle. Perhaps the fix for this is
 just to point the CD symlinks at the sid_d-i images.

I'm generating nightly testing snapshots, and those are incapable of
completing an installation right now due to this issue, which is why I
submitted this.

This may be a bit premature, but my monthly snapshots may be a better
resource to direct users to that want a reliable testing installer.
Well, at least that's the goal anyway ;)

Mike

That's with xserver 1.10 in experimental, if that matters (didn't
check what happens with 1.9).

 Anyway, it is usable already, and the current code can be found at
 http://hg.sitedethib.com/gikbd/

(ewww, hg :D. Fortunately the first thing I tried worked:
   hg clone http://hg.sitedethib.com/gikbd
)

Bug#615600: BOOTIF= kernel commandline option does not work

 I guess the following changes do kind of a job:
 etc/udev/rules.d/69-bootif.rules (inside the installer's initrd)
 ACTION==add, SUBSYSTEM==net, IMPORT{program}=bootif $attr{address}
 
 Unfortunately, this seems to go a little too far. My test system comes
 up with the second interface being the bootif, so it's eth1 without
 these additions.

 This seems to be the fault of the additional rule which gives the
 impression that the rule is actually doing something. Even when I
 replace the bootif script with a call to true, I get multiple stanzas
 per interface in 70-persistent-net.rules.

In my limited testing (with two Qemu interfaces) this didn't happen
after several

# rm 70-persistent-net.rules
# udevadm trigger --verbose --action=add --subsystem-match=net

cycles.  Actually, your rule worked perfectly well, despite that you
don't reserve the eth0 name, just try to assign it even if it's taken
already.  Unless I overlook something, this should be fixed.

I usually assign symbolic names instead of ethX ones, like wlan, utp,
private, gb1 (chassis label) or similar; they usually work just fine,
but sometimes break assumptions of some software (like Munin plugins).
Maybe keeping the domain and the range of the mapping would help
debugging this case as well.

 Do I need to say in the 69-bootif.rules that this should be treated as
 a no-op rule?

I don't think so.  But /lib/udev/write_net_rules activates set -x if
udev logging is set to debug level, and while the output in
/var/log/syslog is less than readable, it may prove some insight.

# udevadm control --log-priority=debug

   It depends on the ETA for 6.0.1. I'd a week before the targeted date
   assuming it builds fine on all arches. For a confort level, I'd say a
   cuple of weeks like a good time for we to update the installer for it.
   
  OK, so what's the targeted date?
 
 We're still working out the precise details, but the general plan is to
 aim for 6.0.1 being during FTPMaster's upcoming meeting in Essen. That
 starts on the 21st so, working backwards, two weeks would take us to the
 coming weekend.
 
 If it's possible to get the source upload in by the end of the weekend,
 that would be great.

That should be fine.  That gives us time to include longterm release
2.6.32.30 and pick up a few other bug fixes.

Bug#616051: no root account after installation

2011-03-01 Thread me

Package: installation-reports
Version: 6.0.0

Besides other problems with my new installation of Debian 6.0.0 (stable), I
am unable to sign in as root (I do have the right password).  The sign-in
screen (which is for GNOME only) has only my user account listed besides
other.  When I click other and put in root or su- and then insert
the correct password I get the message Authentication failure.  This is a
i386 version DVD#1 ISO downloaded from the Debian web-sight onto a MS
Windows machine.  Then, burned to a DVD+R disk using Roxio easy media
creator 10 software to create a boot-able disk.  I have two HD's, one with
Windows XP and the other HD new and blank that I partitioned (using guided
partitioning with LVM option three- home,root,swap.1. temp,  usr
partitions) and installed Debian on.

Inside of GNOME going to Update Manager, Software Sources, Synoptic
Package Manager, and Users and Groups (under the System/Administration
header) I can input the root password and then work as an administrator in
those dialog boxes.  But, after becoming an Administrator for this
session, in the Network Settings, and Time  Day dialog boxes it says
Authentication Needed with no way to input a password though I don't need
to re-input the password in again going back to say the Update Manager.
 When I set myself up as Administrator for this session I still cannot do
any root work in a terminal screen.

Also, when I logout of GNOME I can only turn off the machine and when I
turn on the machine I can only log into GNOME.  The only way to get a
command line is to open a terminal within GNOME.  I don't know if this is
normal or not as I am new to Linux.

As this seems to be a major bug, could it be that I somehow have a corrupted
DVD, as there are a couple of other problems I also have at this early date.
 (grub doesn't  list  my  Windows OS at boot time though  it mentioned it
during the installation, and also my two HD's were listed as SCSI instead of
IDE during installation).

I do not have an internet connection for the machine I have installed Debian
on so I cannot send in any scripts that were generated.  If all else fails,
could I simply re-partition and reinstall to totally get rid of everything
on the HD I put Debian on.  The only thing with this would be grub which I
think is on the MBR of my HD with the windows OS on it, would that be a
problem or would a new grub be generated along with the new installation.

Thanks and hope you can help, Stan Ryan.

Bug#616014: marked as done (netboot: netboot image find no harddisk also fdisk -l find nothing.)
