 Probably it's worth changing the partman-auto recipes only for the
 potentially affected systems.

I think all systems are potentially affected, but I can add a new
recipe for arm/ixp4xx if that's preferred.  Which version of the patch
should I apply?  One changing 64 MB minimum swap to 96 MB on all
systems or one that only does it on arm/ixp4xx?

Re: Moving to 2.6.18

* Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-11-19 21:41]:
  - cobalt: RTC not working but checking 2.6.17 I see it's a problem
there too.  Will investigate.

So this isn't as bad to what I initially thought.  What happens is
that the time in d-i is set to Jan 1 2000 but the installation itself
works fine.  The only problem is that e2fsck is run on the root and it
will reboot once, but then it will boot properly.

I'm not quite sure why it's 2000 though because the hardware has the
right time.  From within d-i, I went into the chroot and issues the
following commands:

sh-3.1# hwclock -r
Tue Nov 21 14:51:21 2006  -0.344000 seconds
sh-3.1# date -R
Sat, 01 Jan 2000 01:01:17 +0100
sh-3.1# hwclock --hctosys
sh-3.1# date -R
Tue, 21 Nov 2006 14:51:49 +0100
sh-3.1#

Does anyone know why date and hwclock disagree?  Thiemo?

experienced something similar on my father's laptop: cursor moves much 
slower than on my touchpad, i guess because different touchpads provide 
different X,Y ranges.
This could be fixed lowering the speed scaling factor, but this may 
result in too fast motion on other touchpads like mine (i own an hp 
pavillon laptop ).
I also experienced tap not working on my father's latop: this may be 
because of different Z input values and could be adjusted by lowering 
the pressure treshold over which the tap is reported, but there are 
drawback there too (luckily the user can use the normal buttons)


However, it is a lot better than the current situation, so I'd very much

alright, i'll open a new bug for directfb tagging it patch; i'd just 
like to wait a couple of days still for more reports to come ( i sent a 
call for testing to d-italian and responses are generally positive ATM )


It would be nice to also get some testing of this patch on powerpc with

Uhm, does the Macintosh touchpads are recognized as ps2 mices? in this 
case the patch shouldn't be even necessary (ps2mouse input module would 
be used instead), but as i own no mac powerbook i cannot check.

Well, as I don't use the touchpad in normal work (use usb mouse

You have a 4 GB disk, not a 1 GB disk.  That's the difference.

I don't see any problem with making the change globally. It should not

 I am sure the Desktop and Base system were selected.  I have also seen
 this behavior with the netinst CD (previously reported, bz #397036).
 Perhaps it is something to do with the fact that I am using a 20GB LV
 for /, but also configure a small (100MB) ordinary linux 0x83 partition
 for boot?  Is there something I can check before leaving the installer
 and rebooting?

If the desktop task is selected X and Gnome should be installed, a 
separate boot partition makes no difference and 20GB is plenty for a 
desktop installation.

Please send us (gzipped) the syslog for the installation, which can be 
found in /var/log/installer on the installed system.

 So everything is commented out!

And that is the cause of the problem.
I suspect that the cause is just a minor error recognizing the CD, which 
happens quite often with older machines. Trying a reinstallation may fix 
it, especially as there were no problems using the CD during base 
installation.

If you can reproduce the error, try adding a 'set -x' line 
in /usr/lib/apt-setop/generators/50cdrom before running apt-setup.
Or maybe try 'chroot /target' and running 'apt-cdrom add' manually.

 Maybe this is related to the wrong date of the cd, too?
 Looking for a cd ... (20061121)..., but find
 ... (20061102)... ?

No, I doubt that as the initial line was created for the same CD.

 These serveraid cards are rather popular now, the 8 series support SAS

Why ips.ko? The kernel lists aacraid as the correct driver for the Adaptec

We expect to have a 2.6.18 based installer available some time next week

Bug#394971: [powerpc64] load the fan control modules

2006-11-23 Thread Frans Pop
The provided patch is broken: standard error is redirected to a file 
named 1 instead of file handle 1.
Suggest to use the following syntax instead:
   modprobe -q module || true

Also, I wonder if all listed modules really need to be modprobed 
individually: modprobe will after all load modules that other modules 
depend on automatically.
I would expect that i2c-powermac and windfarm_core can safely be dropped.

So please only modprobe those modules that are strictly needed to enable 
the fan control.

Finally, why was S50directfb-linux-powerpc added in the Makefile? This 
seems unrelated to this patch.

Colin suggested that when we apply this patch in the installer, a similar 
patch should added in initramfs-tools to make sure that the modules are 
loaded too on the installed system. Has that already been coordinated?

P.S. The main reason (beside the fact that the patch was broken) that I 
reverted the upload was that normal NMU procedure was not followed:
- an NMUer never adds himself to Uploaders
- an NMU uses a different version number from normal uploads
- bug closure was missing
- there was no mail to the open BR with a final patch based on the debdiff
  for the upload

IMPORTANT: Significant changes to CD/DVD build setup

2006-11-23 Thread Steve McIntyre
As of late last night, there's a couple of things that have changed:

 1) The machine doing daily builds is now farbror rather than
bla. That won't mean much to most people, as the output will still
appear in the same place at cdimage.debian.org. However, farbror
is a faster machine than bla and is situated much closer to
cdimage. This means that the build process should be much faster
(yay!) I haven't (yet) moved the weekly builds across to run on
farbror, but I expect to do that in the next couple of days,
before the next scheduled build on Monday. This will *really* help
in terms of build performance.

 2) dinstall and the mirror pulse are now happening twice daily, which
means we will get two daily build runs. *Right* now the second
daily build will automatically overwrite the first each day, but
I'm going to change the scripts on farbror and bla to keep both,
as date-1 and date-2. The arch-latest links will still be kept
up-to-date to keep external links pointing at the latest build.

Any comments, please let me know...

 How would you like it to work?

I think we have two options:

1) Default to method regular
If partman-auto/disk=/dev/* and partman-auto/method is not set, then 
default partman-auto/method to regular.

2) Error out if no method set
If partman-auto/disk=/dev/* and partman-auto/method is not set, then show 
an error message and unset partman-auto/disk.

I somewhat prefer 1) as it gives some backwards compatibility and 2) 
probably would mean adding a new error message which is undesirable for

There should be plenty of space to keep 6 sets rather than the current

need to let me know which of the 2 possible builds you want. :-)

loaded on the current Etch RC1 2.6.17 kernel.


Will try again when the 2.6.18 kernel when it becomes available.

Why ips.ko? The kernel lists aacraid as the correct driver for the Adaptec

We expect to have a 2.6.18 based installer available some time next week

Bug#394971: [powerpc64] load the fan control modules

On Thu, Nov 23, 2006 at 01:51:59PM +0100, Frans Pop wrote:
 The provided patch is broken: standard error is redirected to a file 
 named 1 instead of file handle 1.
 Suggest to use the following syntax instead:
modprobe -q module || true

Ok, will be done, i wonder why you didn't start by telling us this instead of
reverting the patch ?

Furthermore, the patch was in the BTS since almost a month, without any
comment on your part, and at the latest, i would have expected from you to
investigate it and comment when you did the 1.42 upload.

 Also, I wonder if all listed modules really need to be modprobed 
 individually: modprobe will after all load modules that other modules 
 depend on automatically.

Well, this is not how things are, after investigation and discussion with
Benjamin Herrenschmidt, the powerpc/powermac linux kernel maintainer. The
current way of doing this is the best compromise for within the 2.6.18 and
etch timeframe. 

 I would expect that i2c-powermac and windfarm_core can safely be dropped.

And you would expect wrong. When are you going to stop to try to second guess
the work and investigation i do, and try by all mean to show me as incapable ? 

They cannot be dropped, especially i2c-powermac cannot be dropped, since it
will not be pulled in by the other modules. There are numerous comments about
this fact on both debian-kernel and debian-powerpc, as well as numerous irc
conversations on debian-kernel, where you are also present.

So, either you chose to get involved, and try to stay informed about the
different powerpc developments, or you don't, but then it is only fair to ask
you to trust my knowledge and competence, as well as the interaction with the
upstream linux/powerpc community such as Benjamin Herrenschmidt. Your current
attitude is quite insulting to them and me, please modify it.

 So please only modprobe those modules that are strictly needed to enable 
 the fan control.

Well, given that your premises are wrong, this conclusion is obviously not
valid.

 Finally, why was S50directfb-linux-powerpc added in the Makefile? This 
 seems unrelated to this patch.

It was not. Or should not have been. If it was, it is uniquely a result of a
bad manipulation caused by me not having the svn commit right, and you are as
thus solely to blame for it.

But seriously, find attached my svn diff, there is no trace of a
S50directfb-linux-powerpc in my diff, if it was there, it most probably did
come from an older commit. I did in fact do an apt-get source of rootskel, and
then applied the svn diff output, so i have no idea where this
S50directfb-linux-powerpc file came from. I guess it came from earlier
experiments done while me and attilio and a few others tried to investigate
the g-i breakage.

 Colin suggested that when we apply this patch in the installer, a similar 
 patch should added in initramfs-tools to make sure that the modules are 
 loaded too on the installed system. Has that already been coordinated?

A similar patch for therm_pm72 is already in the installer, and i have
regularly been pushing maks to apply the whole stuff, but without success upto
now. 

We even have some material from benjamin herrenschmidt for doing much more
fine-grained checking in the initramfs-tools, based on actual model
information and a static mapping from them to the actual needed modules.

But in the context of the d-i, this is hardly worth it, which is why i didn't
go into such a detailed and more error prone patch.

 P.S. The main reason (beside the fact that the patch was broken) that I 
 reverted the upload was that normal NMU procedure was not followed:

Indeed, it was not an NMU. I am the defacto d-i powerpc porter, even though
manipulated me into resigning back in march while my mother was dying, for
which i don't think i will ever forgive you, unless you are very sincere when
you present your excuses for such unpardonable behavior. Your inability to
find anyone able to replace me and do the work that needs dooing, and this
more than 6 months after the fact, fully supports me in this. 

I reject your or anyone's right to expulse me from d-i, i am doing the powerpc
port work, so i am the lead powerpc porter, that you want it or not. Debian
has always been a community where the only thing that counted was the work you
did, and as thus it is my full right to do this upload, despite your
dillusions of power or whatever.

Furthermore, by uploading 1.42 without even investigating the fancontrol
patch, you furthermore failed in your responsabilities, and furthermore lose
all right to revert that maintainer upload.

 - an NMUer never adds himself to Uploaders

Indeed, which is why it was not an NMU.

 - an NMU uses a different version number from normal uploads

Indeed, but as it was a maintainer upload.

 - bug closure was missing

Indeed, since the bug was holding the patch, and since you are refusing me the
right to commit to the svn repo normally, the patch should not be closed
before

Bug#400034: partman-auto-crypto: please allow waiving erase operation during guided partitioning

2006-11-23 Thread Marc Haber
Package: partman-auto-crypto
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

when using d-i RC1, and doing guided partitioning (LVM with crypto),
there does not seem to be a possibility to prevent the erase data
operation from happening.

This is bad when installing to a vmware, since the virtual disk file
is going to expand to its maximum size during that operation.

The only workaround seems to be manual partitioning, which is a pain
due to the complexity of the desired setup.

Please consider adding a possibility to have an extra confirmation
step before the erase operation starts.

Greetings
Marc

 I didn't it (and don't plan to). I just:

 - fetched the .iso
 - extracted the initrd.gz
 - added the preseed.cfg to it
 - rebuild the initrd.gz
 - updated the md5sums
 - rebuilt the .iso

Which iso? Would be nice if you can include a syslog of both
installations on the mail so we can check what's happening. I'm using
preseeding almost every day on both g-i and d-i without problems so it
can be a hidden bug or a small mistake.

 Everything guided by instructions I've found in the wiki :-)

 About Attilio's message: despite some weirds error values I'm using
 (that seems
 null for what I want, anyway), the file syntax is right?

It looks like.

 The patch had an error in the sed on /etc/inittab. Please test the

Ok, cool, will do this this WE, since i have no access to the box.

BTW, the new genesi efika board will use /dev/ttyPSC*, and i guess there are a

Would it not be better to use the variable in rootskel to detect that the
terminal is a serial terminal, namely those who delcare themselves to be :

  TERM_TYPE=serial in rootskel/src/lib/debian-installer/detect-console-linux

The code there is :

Furthermore, i have personally found out that it is interesting to enable
a serial console in /etc/inittab even in non-serial installs, Maybe a debconf

Re: Bug#394971: [powerpc64] load the fan control modules

2006-11-23 Thread Otavio Salvador
Sven Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Also, I wonder if all listed modules really need to be modprobed 
 individually: modprobe will after all load modules that other modules 
 depend on automatically.

 Well, this is not how things are, after investigation and discussion with
 Benjamin Herrenschmidt, the powerpc/powermac linux kernel maintainer. The
 current way of doing this is the best compromise for within the 2.6.18 and
 etch timeframe. 

What's the plan for lenny? Is it going to change on 2.6.19 or so?

 I would expect that i2c-powermac and windfarm_core can safely be dropped.

 And you would expect wrong. When are you going to stop to try to second guess
 the work and investigation i do, and try by all mean to show me as incapable 
 ? 

Hold on Sven... I need to agree here with Frans. We always should try
to reduce the amount of code and looks like there's a lot of dependent
module being loaded by hand in your patch. If it has a reason, it's ok
but you need to tell us about it.

It's impossible to you, Frans or everyone to know about everything on
every arch so as a D-I RM Frans did a question and I think you can
just reply to it as I usually do and many others does too. There's no
try to show you as incapable person.

 They cannot be dropped, especially i2c-powermac cannot be dropped, since it
 will not be pulled in by the other modules. There are numerous comments about
 this fact on both debian-kernel and debian-powerpc, as well as numerous irc
 conversations on debian-kernel, where you are also present.

Isn't it a bug that could be solve on kernel itself?

 So, either you chose to get involved, and try to stay informed about the
 different powerpc developments, or you don't, but then it is only fair to ask
 you to trust my knowledge and competence, as well as the interaction with the
 upstream linux/powerpc community such as Benjamin Herrenschmidt. Your current
 attitude is quite insulting to them and me, please modify it.

Please modify your action too.

As you know I worry about ppc status and try to be updated about
it. I'm still lacking the need hardware to work on it but it should
change in near future and I'll get more involviment on it as I did
before when I had an iBook. Besides, we all do mistake and you aren't
different.

We should try to review our code and patches to ensure a high quality
on d-i and it should be done when the patches are pending to be
commited as Frans is doing now. Please calm down and just reply for
the questions and then I'm sure Frans will commit the patch also
because it's really need for a proper ppc support from d-i side.

 Finally, why was S50directfb-linux-powerpc added in the Makefile? This 
 seems unrelated to this patch.

 It was not. Or should not have been. If it was, it is uniquely a result of a
 bad manipulation caused by me not having the svn commit right, and you are as
 thus solely to blame for it.

 But seriously, find attached my svn diff, there is no trace of a
 S50directfb-linux-powerpc in my diff, if it was there, it most probably did
 come from an older commit. I did in fact do an apt-get source of rootskel, and
 then applied the svn diff output, so i have no idea where this
 S50directfb-linux-powerpc file came from. I guess it came from earlier
 experiments done while me and attilio and a few others tried to investigate
 the g-i breakage.

Yes, it was include in your patch and might be useful if you can send
a  revised patch fixing the modprobe syntax and removing this hook
from it.

 Colin suggested that when we apply this patch in the installer, a similar 
 patch should added in initramfs-tools to make sure that the modules are 
 loaded too on the installed system. Has that already been coordinated?

 A similar patch for therm_pm72 is already in the installer, and i have
 regularly been pushing maks to apply the whole stuff, but without success upto
 now. 

Let me ask it here again. Doesn't the right place to fix it be the
kernel? Is too difficult to fix it there?

Friendly ;-)

Re: RC1 install successful on Pentium II, comments on tasks

 At one point I had to change the controller my hard disk was attached
 to, which caused the pivot_root to fail.  I'm pretty sure the root file

 which would have made things a little smoother there.

This is something we are considering, but will probably only be 
implemented after Etch as the risk of subtle breakage is too great so 
short before the release.

 The other thing was the package group selections (tasks).

 Installing Database server gave me Postgresql, but I was expecting
 MySQL.  It could at least have mentioned that I would get Postgresql
 before downloading packages I didn't want.

 I also selected Mail server and got Exim4 rather than Postfix, but
 this was to be expected due to Exim4's status as preferred mail
 transport agent.

I have a patch pending to better document this in the installation guide. 
However, I don't expect major changes regarding this in tasksel as its 
maintainer does not agree with your view.

 I also didn't see a Development group.  Now I've been using Debian
 for years, I know to apt-get install build-essential, but a
 development task would be great for new users.

Tasksel is not targeted at developers, but at users.
What packages should be installed for packaging work is explained in the 
developers reference. (I realize that developers can be considered a type 
of user and also that build-essential has a wider usage than just 
packaging, but I hope you get my drift.)

 (I'm hoping you want to hear feedback about tasks as well.  If not, let
 me know where to direct it.)

You can always file bugs against tasksel if you like. However, its 
maintainer has quite strong ideas as to what tasksel should and should 
not support.

Thank you for your mail. Next time, please consider filing an installation 
report [1].

Cheers,

As I said, the problem is the actual space on the initrd and having a
latin languages image/CD and a asian languages image is not such a
good idea since you might end up downloading the wrong image and will be
faced with a semi-useless cd  since you don't know any of the other
languages.



Can't we give a option to choose a set of languages at the beginning say
ASIAN languages, European languages, AFRICAN languages ... We can ship a 
set

of initrd images for each laguage groups and it can be selected from grub
menu at boot. (like we used to ship linux 2.4 and linux 2.6 at the same 
time

we could have 5 initrds each for a continent). I think this would solve the
problem of initrd image size in a considerable way and would not be 
tough to

implement I think.


Thanks for reminding me about that idea. I wanted to raise that option in the
discution, but I managed to forget it.

Implementing this would mean changing/stripping the udebs before putting them
in the image. Meaning that the debian-installer build system should be changed.
I don't know what impact multiple initrd images would have on debian-cd.

About the stripping, isn't this already done in the installer via white listing?

Bug#395040: Check that ywrap,mtrr options for the vesafb device on i386 are harmless

2006-11-23 Thread Frans Pop
I have tested during one install that g-i works without these parameters.
However, the directfb README still says that they are needed:
http://www.directfb.org/index.php?path=Documentation%2FUser+Manuals%2FREADME

Could you please check with upstream whether or not the parameters are 
still needed or if the documentation is outdated?

In any case, I think it is probably smart to delay changing this until 
after Etch as we currently have no indication that they break anything.

Can you provide us with a version of the relevant package(s) (probably

My hard drive is all ready partitioned the way I want it.  I could not figure 
out how to get past your partitioner to install Debian where I wanted it

Your partitioner seems to insist on creating a swap file, why do I need this 
with 1GB of RAM, other distros don't require a swap partition.

 When I boot off the CD and the main partitioner screen comes up, both

 want Debian) should all be bootable.  If I try to set a bootable flag
 on hda5, then all the B's disappear except for one at hda5.  I need
 four bootable partitions, but the partitioner will only allow for one. 
 Maybe I don't understand what bootable means in your partitioner.  It
 would be nice if your help file explained what to do for a multi-boot
 system.

No, this is not how boot flags work. The boot flag indicates to the 
BIOS please look for a bootloader on this partition. There can only be 
one bootflag per harddisk. Which harddisk is used for booting, is a 
setting in your BIOS.

Note also that the partitioner will always show a confirmation dialog that 
shows what changes will be made.
Also, you should always allow the partitioner to format the partition you 
want to use as your / partition. You can skip creating a swap partition; 
the partitioner will warn about that, but you can ignore the warning.

 I'm sorry I don't get all this.  This is the first time I've ever used
 your installer.  Up until now, every Linux distro I tried had a
 graphical installer and they were all very easy to use.  I hate to say
 this, but your installer's help file leaves me just a little
 helpless.

The help file is just a very short explanatory text. If you want more 
detailed information, read the installation guide [1].

I'm closing your report as basically there is nothing that you want to do 
that cannot be done with the Debian installer/partitioner. And a lot of 
people have used it successfully for both simple and very complex setups.
We are aware that the partitioner is not the most simple to use, but it 
_is_ one of the most versatile partitioners in any distribution.

The setup you want is not all that complex, but does require manual 
partitioning and requires you to be careful so you don't damage existing 
partitions. It also requires a bit more knowledge about how a system 
boots and how to configure a system for multiboot. But hey, you are the 
one that wants to create something more than a simple setup...

How you want to boot Debian is completely up to you. You can let the 
installer set up grub, and it will do its very best to also support any 
existing operating systems you have.
You can also choose not to set up a bootloader (use go back when you get 
the first grub question and choose the no bootloader option in the 
menu.

Note that even though your report is closed, you can still reply to this 
mail.

I am not sure. There may be some trick, since the TERM_TYPE case has more

That said, i think we could check for TERM_TYPE=serial, and if so, guess the

Bug#399951: RC1 on a NSLU2, 1GB usb drive

2006-11-23 Thread Martin Michlmayr
clone 399951 -1
reassign -1 partman
retitle -1 hangs at 50% - cd /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=mtdblock0 / 
open_dialog DUMP
thanks

* Emanuele Rocca [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-11-23 00:37]:
 There's a known issue [0] installing over ssh on a 1GB hard drive in low
 mem. Without a big enough swap partition the ssh daemon goes out of
 memory creating the root fs, disconnecting the user.
 
 Moreover, trying to login again to resume the installation, partman hangs
 doing:
  cd /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=mtdblock0
  open_dialog DUMP
 
 (from /lib/partman/init.d/35dump)

I've seen this too.

 BTW, besides from this issue, the installation was perfect, congrats for
 the really fine job.
 
 I've been able to complete the installation twice, the first time with a
 128M swap partition, and now even with a smaller one, as suggested by
 Otavio [1], just 96M.
 
 The partman-auto reciepe for put everything in one partition creates a
 swap area of around 80M, which are not enough; I'd suggest to raise the
 default size, maybe only if in low-mem.

I've commited a fix for this to SVN.

Re: Re: RC1 with auto-RAID and graphical preseeding

2006-11-23 Thread Caio Begotti
Otavio, I just noticed that after installing RC1 with partman-auto- 
raid preseed and then
using the installgui option (which didn't work well using preseed),  
my GRUB menu got the following [rough] structure:



Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.17 (the newest entry, using installgui)
Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.17 ... (from the old installation that failed to  
boot GRUB!)



Amazing! So I tried to boot the second one (after checking kernel  
parameters - all of them were ok)
It worked, and now I'm investigating what the hell is going on with  
the my preseed. Somehow, GRUB isn't being
installed correctly in both disks, although the same config is being  
used in both methods (GUI and text) :-(


I'll save the logs and post them as soon as I get them. Thanks for  
helping!

About the stripping, isn't this already done in the installer via white

Christian?



Not sure what you're talking about so it's hard for me to answer.


The udebs are downloaded/fetched during the build, but how are deactivated 
languages' translations away from the installer?

Do they not enter the packages in the first place (before udeb build time)?
Or are the translations for the activated languages *selected* from the udeb 
to enter the image and the rest of the translation are dropped.


If is the first case (not entering in the first place) we could change to the 
second scheme and thus be able to create more initrd images which could be 
placed on the same ISO image and could be selected individually from the same 
media at boot time.

  Well, this is not how things are, after investigation and discussion with
  Benjamin Herrenschmidt, the powerpc/powermac linux kernel maintainer. The
  current way of doing this is the best compromise for within the 2.6.18 and
  etch timeframe. 
 
 What's the plan for lenny? Is it going to change on 2.6.19 or so?

lenny is etch +1. If lenny take the same time as etch, 18 months, we could
have 2.6.24 for lenny. I hope that this would be fixed by then.

  I would expect that i2c-powermac and windfarm_core can safely be dropped.
 
  And you would expect wrong. When are you going to stop to try to second 
  guess
  the work and investigation i do, and try by all mean to show me as 
  incapable ? 
 
 Hold on Sven... I need to agree here with Frans. We always should try
 to reduce the amount of code and looks like there's a lot of dependent
 module being loaded by hand in your patch. If it has a reason, it's ok
 but you need to tell us about it.

Ok, fine, i guess benh will wlecome your patches.

If upstream tells me we need to work on this, but right now it is not possible
otherwise, i tend to believe him. It is also upstream work, and i don't really
have time for it, and in any case, we don't have the time for etch to get
those patches migrated upstream, which is needed accordying to the
debian/kernel team policy, and it will be available at the earliest in 2.6.20
if we submit it today.

 It's impossible to you, Frans or everyone to know about everything on
 every arch so as a D-I RM Frans did a question and I think you can
 just reply to it as I usually do and many others does too. There's no
 try to show you as incapable person.

This would be the case if :

  1) he had commented on the bug during the month it had been open.

  2) he had considered including the pacth last week when he did the 1.42
  upload.

  3) he had asked me about the breakage and we had uploaded a fixed package
  instead of reverting it.

This being not the case, and he keeping me in a unfair and humiliating
position since over 6 months, i am very justified to critic him on this.

And yes, in case you didn't notice, i am angry about the way i have been
handled, and now, so many months after the fact, i am rightly angered.

  They cannot be dropped, especially i2c-powermac cannot be dropped, since it
  will not be pulled in by the other modules. There are numerous comments 
  about
  this fact on both debian-kernel and debian-powerpc, as well as numerous irc
  conversations on debian-kernel, where you are also present.
 
 Isn't it a bug that could be solve on kernel itself?

Sure, but see above.

  So, either you chose to get involved, and try to stay informed about the
  different powerpc developments, or you don't, but then it is only fair to 
  ask
  you to trust my knowledge and competence, as well as the interaction with 
  the
  upstream linux/powerpc community such as Benjamin Herrenschmidt. Your 
  current
  attitude is quite insulting to them and me, please modify it.
 
 Please modify your action too.

Maybe, but it has been since late april, so ...

 As you know I worry about ppc status and try to be updated about
 it. I'm still lacking the need hardware to work on it but it should
 change in near future and I'll get more involviment on it as I did
 before when I had an iBook. Besides, we all do mistake and you aren't
 different.

Sure, i am different, i am the only one who is outcast and humiliated like i
am. 

 We should try to review our code and patches to ensure a high quality
 on d-i and it should be done when the patches are pending to be
 commited as Frans is doing now. Please calm down and just reply for

He is only commiting and comenting on them because i did the upload on sunday,
and because i raised a fuss over the revert upload from him.

If he had come to me, and commented about the bug in question, this would be
something else, but given the way this happened, added to the humiliating
handling i am getting from frans and a few others, ...

 the questions and then I'm sure Frans will commit the patch also
 because it's really need for a proper ppc support from d-i side.

Indeed, but the patch was commited a whole month ago, and frans did an upload
of rootskel a week ago, and didn't even bother considering the patch in
question, even though i told him repeteadly that doing d-i test installation
on the XServe without it is really health damaging. I always end up with a
headache and if i work at night, i wake the kids. That is how loud it is.

  Finally, why was S50directfb-linux-powerpc added in the Makefile? This 
  seems unrelated to this patch.
 
  It was not. Or should not have been. If it was, it is uniquely a result of a

 some real tracing instead of speculating.

Current dictionaries-common package already provides info to STDERR during
the first installation (and preconfiguration) if envvar

DICT_COMMON_DEBUG

is set. It is however only about the process of default dict selection, but
if no preconfiguration is happenning, that info will not be shown. No info
is currently shown for individual dicts install, but I can try adding some
details about old and new choices if needed.

inclusion at a later point, and thus of upstream quality, then we can include
it.

  It's impossible to you, Frans or everyone to know about everything on
  every arch so as a D-I RM Frans did a question and I think you can
  just reply to it as I usually do and many others does too. There's no
  try to show you as incapable person.
 
  This would be the case if :
 
1) he had commented on the bug during the month it had been open.
 
2) he had considered including the pacth last week when he did the 1.42
upload.
 
3) he had asked me about the breakage and we had uploaded a fixed package
instead of reverting it.
 
 I more or less agree with you here. I agree that would have another
 ways to handle things but also I don't think if he doesn't do what I
 or you think is  the right thing todo he's completely wrong. He has
 the right to think different from us and follow his thoughts about it.

He has the right to think anything he want, as long as he doesn't hurt others
by doing so. By virtue of the power over d-i he wields, and since he is
apparently not able to separate a personal dispute from his d-i
responsabilities, his thoughts in this issue are hurting both me and our
users.

  This being not the case, and he keeping me in a unfair and humiliating
  position since over 6 months, i am very justified to critic him on this.
 
  And yes, in case you didn't notice, i am angry about the way i have been
  handled, and now, so many months after the fact, i am rightly angered.
 
 Please ... you're humiliating yourself. It's not he who's humiliating
 you.

Right.  Especially as the main complaint against me seems to be that i am not
respectful enough of him, exact ? 

 Just do a great patch, prove that you're a good and trustable porter
 and he won't have options but allow you back.

This would be the case if we where facing someone reasonable and honest. But
go look at the wiki patches where i list all my contributions since june or
so, and even so, it if not enough, and my contributions are : the biggest
load of self-satisfied and self-centered crap [he has] ever seen.

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FransPopAndOthersVs.SvenLutherIssue/SvenLuther#head-69bb71fe3ef5766e46624ff746cd888a4591a6c6

 Let's have a deal. When you don't receive a comment on a bug, please
 ping me. There're a lot of reason to it happen not only disagreements
 with you. There're a bunch of bugs to handle on d-i and sometimes
 those bugs are forgotten. Just bring my attention to them and I can
 try to coordenate it.

Yeah, fine, and when will i no more be an outcast, and will get back all the
right normally attributed to everyone who is contributing to d-i ? 

  I don't know from where it comes, it is not in my local svn checkout, so ...
 
 So please send another reviewed patch that I can apply :-D

I will, but i have no access to the box to test it until this WE. The patch is
so trivial you can just as well fix it yourself. I attached the modified
version of the patch with frans suggestion. The original proposal was coming
either from code copied from elsewhere on d-i or from a suggestion from
someone on #debian-boot, i don't remember exactly the details, it is over a 
month ago now. Again this would not have happened if frans was more
reasonable, and let people work while he is vacationing all over the world.

The other operating systems entry was created 'cause I installed it

Quoting Matthias Julius ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

This could be avoided if the user gets to decide: Not all messages
have been translated into the language you have chosen. Please select
a fallback language.


Indeed, this was what I thought.


Theoretically, yes, but how would the installer know in advance that
debconf templates are not translated competely? D-I is modular by
nature so, at the moment localechooser is run, there is no possible
way to know whether udebs are fully translated, or not, for the chosen
language.


Right, I first assumed that the udebs are created at the same time so
that the translation status of all packages can be put into localechooser.
Probably this approach works at least roughly, especially for official
releases and release candidates.

But I agree that putting these information into localechooser is not
good idea.


This information would need to be stored somewhere in a file created
by the build process.


No, not necessarily. I can imagine at least two solutions:
 * Let localechooser scan all udebs found in the initrd. The list of
   found udebs could probably provided by a debian-installer component
   itself (there must be already a component of d-i which scans all/most
   udebs to create the main menu). The contained templates file could
   be analysed on the fly ...
   This would miss all incomplete translations loaded from outside the initrd,
   such as via network.


And the gain is where? You still need the translations of the languages from 
which you choose. So no space gain there.


Also, your choice of available languages is based on the available languages 
in the translation of the following packages: anna, base-installer, 
(countrychooser,) cdebconf, debian-installer, di-utils-reboot, ethdetect, 
hw-detect, (languagechooser,) kbd-chooser, lowmem, mirror, netcfg, 
localechooser, preseed, retriever and save-logs (and probably some other arch 
specific packs).


i am not sure if this is such a good idea.


 * Let debconf handle the alternative language approach and ask for an
   alternative if one debconf string is not translated! Of course not


This must be first implemented :-)


   directly, but it would be possible to provide a hook script to
   debconf which is called once a translation is missing. This script
   needs to be provided by localechooser.


Sounds nice.

 Could we have NTP by default?
 
  But it would be a problem for the minority who have no or only
  intermittent (e.g. dial-up) network access.
 
 Why would it be a problem?
 
 No network mean the Network Time Protocol won't work.
 
 Intermittent network (e.g. dial-up) means that NTP goes for long  
 periods with no connection to the external time servers.  The ntpd  
 daemon is (mostly) OK with that, but some auto-dialers may see it's  
 occasional polls as a reason to dial the ISP, which is probably not  
 what the user expected.
 
 

Instead of NTP you could use chrony which gets put offline with poff.

Hi

I recently wrote a patch against DFB 0.9.25 which adds to linux_input 
the capability to translate absolute x,y coordinates generated  by

The patch was sent for review to directfb-dev [1] and was said to be ok, 
updated patch is attached to this mail.
I prepared an iso image [2] which includes the fix: i'm asking testers 
who previously reported their synaptics touchpad not working within g-i 
to test this iso and report results and feelings about how the touchpad 
works.



I just tested the image and the touchpad works fine :)

The only thing that doesn't work is the scrolling side of the touchpad,
but I guess most users of the installer could live without it for now.


on your pavillon dv1117 the patch should perform almost as X synaptics 
driver does (i developed the driver on a pavillon laptop)


thanks for testing again

 Because the method is not a question as such when using preseeding.
 We should handle the situation where partman-auto/disk is preseeded
 but partman-auto/method is not more gracefully though.

How would you like it to work?


I think we have two options:

1) Default to method regular
If partman-auto/disk=/dev/* and partman-auto/method is not set, then 
default partman-auto/method to regular.


2) Error out if no method set
If partman-auto/disk=/dev/* and partman-auto/method is not set, then show 
an error message and unset partman-auto/disk.


I somewhat prefer 1) as it gives some backwards compatibility and 2) 
probably would mean adding a new error message which is undesirable for 
RC2.


Said and done, patch attached for review.

release, so I'd appreciate it if someone could review the patch attached 
to bug report #393728.

I guess that qualifies for c).

 I see four differences; somewhat in order of severity:
 - no initrd line
 - root should be set to LABEL=/ instead of /dev/hda1
 - missing rhgb option
   What does this option do? Is it required or optional?
 - missing quiet option
Not all of those were required. I had tried those seperately.
I will come back to answer these questions.

 What bootloader are you using on the Fedora partition?
on both, Debain and FC6 I used grub.
 Could you send us its configuration file?

  Interesting. That would help indeed.
  
  But maybe instead of enabling it by default or using a debconf

 The best would be a defaulting to no debconf question, maybe even a n
 invisible one, so you can preseed it.

Rewording the previous paragraph:

A debconf question that is not show on normal installs,
but will be visible at expert a.k.a. detailed install.
Being a debconf question allows preseeding.

Hey, that is like first paragraph.


Anyway: enabling serial console is good thing.

 almost all cases the images will be virtually identical, especially with 
 regard to d-i. And as we're only talking about small images, the number 
 of debs included is relatively small.
 
 There should be plenty of space to keep 6 sets rather than the current
 3, so I've changed the setup to do that. Alternatively, if you only
 want one set built per day that's also entirely possible. You'll just
 need to let me know which of the 2 possible builds you want. :-)

Another reason for one set built each day, is that no one will 
see date-1 and date-2 as part-1 and part-2.

Please stick to _one_ daily build.

Schedule the build start 00:05 UTC or another time 
that might be recognised world wide as begin of a day

I have higher speed compared with XFree86 (I have Sarge running,
so I can only compare with XFree86, not X.org, if this makes a
difference (different version of synaptics driver in X?))

Speed is faster as in X, but not so fast, that it would be unusable. 
I can position the cursor on everything I want without any

Bug#400124: Buttons in the GTK frontend are not properly setup

2006-11-23 Thread Attilio Fiandrotti

package: cdebconf-gtk-udeb
severity: minor
tags: patch

Currently the screenshot and cancel buttons are setup sensitive in
gtk_initialize(), so if a long time should pass between 
frontend_intialize()

and frontend_go(), the user may be able to click them.
As the gtk_main() loop is already running there should be no risk of
crashing anything, but anyway this patch disables those buttons in
gtk_initialize(), like it's already done for back and cancel buttons.
Hiding them, as it's done now, has no effect, and this should be fixed
because it's wrong.
The attached patch also takes care of hiding ok, back and screenshot
buttons while the progressbar is running and CAPB progresscancel is not 
set (it makes no sense, IMHO, displaying disabled buttons)


cheers

Attilio

 Same error as before. Please, review the patch and remove the directfb
 change since it's unrelated to this patch.

Indeed, it was just a quick change. But i am sure that this could be fixed
easily enough by anyone of good faith. Colin has done more drastic changes to
my patches, and frans also tried to modify others of my changes.

Again, there is no valid reason for not having modified this silently, this is
just a cheap excuse for justifying the continuous unfair marginalizing of my
work and as thus our powerpc users.

 Same error as before. Please, review the patch and remove the directfb
 change since it's unrelated to this patch.

 Indeed, it was just a quick change. But i am sure that this could be fixed
 easily enough by anyone of good faith. Colin has done more drastic changes to
 my patches, and frans also tried to modify others of my changes.

 Again, there is no valid reason for not having modified this silently, this is
 just a cheap excuse for justifying the continuous unfair marginalizing of my
 work and as thus our powerpc users.

Well, this isn't right.

Frans cited the problem. I cited the problem and then you send the
patch with same error and blame me? Sorry Sven but you're using every
oportunity to blame everyone.

Please fix the patch instead of blame me, ok?

So on Fedora each Xen kernel image has its own hypervisor version,
humm...

As I said on your previous installation report I think is difficult to
support too many XEN incarnations. Let's the others comment on it.

That's one we need to discuss. While we don't have a common way to
handle XEN between all vendors is very difficult to handle that
specifically. Currently Debian has a ABI on XEN hypervisor and
respective kernels and then GRUB uses it while writting the rules from
them but I don't know how Fedora does about it.

I don't know what to do about this specifically since I think we
should just ignore any other XEN image on os-probe module. Does anyone
can comment on it?

This applies to the same PC as bug#400107
(that time it applies to the installation #400107 with debian( etch testing))

title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.img

- this time grub was installed as part with debian testing (etch)
- Boot configuration of FC6 (without xen) worked fine, however without xen did 
work:

I did some tests, however only with the XEN configuration:
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen):
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen.img

+ module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen 
  - seems to be required with FC6XEN
+ ro
  - seems to be optional with FC6XEN
+  root=LABEL=/

+ rhgb 
  - seems to be optional
+ quiet:
  - seems to be optional

+ module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen.img
  - seems to be required
Br,

 I see four differences; somewhat in order of severity:


 - no initrd line
 - root should be set to LABEL=/ instead of /dev/hda1
 - missing rhgb option
   What does this option do? Is it required or optional?
 - missing quiet option

 What bootloader are you using on the Fedora partition? Could you send us 
 its configuration file?
 
  Additionally installation of nvidia binary driver from non-free failed.
 
 That is not an installer issue. Suggest you file a separate bug report 
 against the relevant package with details.

Bug#400107: installation-reports

2006-11-23 Thread m_josenhans
 I've found that this is your graphics card. What's the right X driver
 to use? nv?

I guess should be the nv driver, however when I had seleceted it in previous 
installation everything crashed as far as I remeber. 
This time I was not asked which driver to choose at all. 

My graphics card is currently running only at 60Hz with the highest resolution 
1024 x 768 (as far as I remember).

Is there any method to change the driver subsequently?

Br,
Michael

I'm sorry I just have the rage.
all that's really happening is that people decode an encrypted signal.
It's a French film dubbed for our viewing pleasure. The best was the red

that means it takes a few extra seconds but ultimately it'll run faster

Of course anyone who's take an a software course has heard most of this

First thing I've noticed this year: they've dropped the french from
under the rims. it was more hysteria than joy.
which begs the question: what the hell is everyone doing with their
cheese? well apart from the weather and tag systems I've put on
bizwarcho there hasn't been so much.
However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and
very vigorously.  first, when a lifetime of reading from the top has

So we don't have to steal anything to get that. I'll give you a clue, it
starts with bizwarch. It's funny 'cause it's true. It's one of these
perfect crime movies. all that's really happening is that people
decode an encrypted signal. for gods sake put in the extra effort.
Definitely good for a watch!
I was worried it would involve re-creating all the code!
