Our bug is URL:http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1402. The question I would like to ask is if there is a partman hook to use that will expose that the requested recipe was rejected and run before the partition table is touched. I would like to show a dialog to the user stating that the disk was too small, instead of allowing partman to pick a different recipe and continue the installation. I wonder if this really ought to be a hook, or if partman-auto should just behave differently as standard? After all, in general if automation fails we stop and present a dialog. Adding a hook for this seems like overengineering; if the expert recipe fails, an error dialog seems appropriate in general. If you want to also prevent use of the standard recipes (since it does still seem natural for partman-auto to fall back to them), you could simply remove them; is this possible for you? -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#560814: console-setup: Wrong toggle when three keyboard layout are set

As explained in my initial mail, that was a deliberate choice to decrease the risk of errors by removing them and to make comparing the (old)stable versions with the current version for Squeeze easier. Both these advantages resulted in a much smaller change of accidental breakage in the backports of the patches.

Bug#561005: purging console-setup-mini makes you lose some console-setup configuration
Package: console-setup Version: 1.50 Severity: normal Hi and thanks for maintaining console-setup! On a box where console-setup-mini was installed, I issued the following command: # aptitude install console-setup console-setup-mini- in order to switch from console-setup-mini to console-setup.

Bug#561008: console-setup: approximations for 'toilet -f future' symbols look different before and after X
Package: console-setup Version: 1.50 Severity: normal Hi (again)! During the discussions for bug #546983, console-setup was greatly improved by Anton Zinoviev (which I would like to thank again): the console is now able to display 'toilet -f future' symbols in a strange, yet charming way, by using approximations. All standard fonts (Fixed, Terminus, TerminusBold, TerminusBoldVGA, VGA) are able to perform this magic. I chose TerminusBoldVGA, as shown below in the debconf settings section. This is really great. I noticed an awkward behavior, though. As soon as the box has finished booting, I login on the console and I see the output of, e.g.: $ toilet -f future hello ╻ ╻┏━╸╻ ╻ ┏━┓ ┣━┫┣╸ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ╹ ╹┗━╸┗━╸┗━╸┗━┛ displayed correctly. I mean, the letters don't have the same height, but that's OK (it even somehow enhance the futuristic look of this toilet font!), but each letter is displayed with lines that join perfectly and form a continuous gliph. OK, after that, I start an X session: $ startx logout If I switch back to the console (by pressing [Ctrl+Alt+F1]) and I login again, then the output of $ toilet -f future hello ╻ ╻┏━╸╻ ╻ ┏━┓ ┣━┫┣╸ ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ╹ ╹┗━╸┗━╸┗━╸┗━┛ looks different! I mean, each letter is displayed with lines that fail to join perfectly and thus form a discontinous gliph (as if made of broken pieces). This is less nice than before, but the point is: why does it look different?!? I hope this little flaw is easy to fix... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (800, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages console-setup depends on: ii console-terminus 4.30-2 Fixed-width fonts for fast reading ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii keyboard-configuration1.50 system-wide keyboard preferences ii xkb-data 1.7-1 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu Versions of packages console-setup recommends: ii console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-66 Linux console and font utilities Versions of packages console-setup suggests: ii locales 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: National Language ( ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip -- debconf information: * console-setup/codeset47: # Latin1 and Latin5 - western Europe and Turkic languages console-setup/use_system_font: console-setup/fontsize: 16 * console-setup/fontface47: TerminusBoldVGA * console-setup/fontsize-text47: 16 * console-setup/charmap47: UTF-8 console-setup/codesetcode: Lat15 console-setup/fontsize-fb47: 16 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
