I believe the Release Managers would have allowed for individual kdegraphics 4:3.2.3-1.1 builds to trickle into testing, but afaict no arches other than i386 and powerpc managed to build it (I have no ACCEPTED mail, and no binaries in the mirrors either). some RM should be able to say why no other arch could build it. please let us know if we can be of any help.

Sarge-Installation-Showstopper: Task Desktop Environment fails on arches other than i386 and powerpc due to kdegraphics
Hi, I just tested the rc2-di on my Sun Ultra60. This worked pretty well, but the selected task Desktop Environment just fails due to an uninstallable kdegraphics. Reason is already reported (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271256) Quoting Adeodato Simó in this bugreport. (Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 01:46:04 +0200) so the only thing to say is: patience. and: the current brokeness state is just in benefit of sarge being released earlier. But nothing happened. Which way this will be addressed? Will kde3.3 be allowed into testing? Btw: I don't want to use kde but gnome. But the Desktop Environment task will install both. -- Jörg Friedrich There are only 10 types of people: Those who understand binary and those who don't. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The problem is kdegraphics. IMHO the release-managers should address it.

Successful Installation with pre-rc2
Hi everybody, I just tested pre-rc2. Works really great, the one bug I ran into (localization-config) is already fixed. then I tested the preseeding feature. This is a really fantastic feature! There is just a small whishlist: With preseeding it would be very easy to set up a customized installer for our university. But it didn't work. My idea was the following: 1. building my own miniiso from netboot 2. setting the three country/keyboard settings in syslinux.cfg (append) as mentioned in Joeys example. 3. pointing preseed/url to a file on the miniiso. First glitch: I could not seed country/keyboard for germany. the append-line exceeded 256 chars and was cut :-( then I tried some things but I found no way to set these three questions to german. it is also not possible to put file-preseed and network-preseed into the initrd since they provide the same files. file-preseed is removed if network-preseed is installed. It would be cool if it would work like this: having three preseed packages which can coexist in the same initrd: 1. initrd-preseed: like file-preseed but does not depend on any cdrom-detect or mount-floppy. but it only can read files which are on the initrd. this would make it possible to preseed even before the language-chooser. 2. file-preseed, like now 3. network-preseed, like now :-) -- Jörg Friedrich There are only 10 types of people: Those who understand binary and those who don't. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Sparc iso-images
Hi, whoever builds the daily iso-images for sparc, please use kernel and initrd from a recent svn-checkout, because since yesterday cdrom-core-modules-2.4.24-sparc64 are included into the initrd. the missing modules are the showstopper while installing on a sparc64 machine by cdrom. -- Thanks, Jörg Friedrich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

It seems to expect the need to load cd modules in order to detect a CD. However, the cd is already detected and recognized by the kernel. Why is that? My mistake, the initrd doesn't contain the ide-cd module. That needs to be fixed. It used to be there. Someone must have removed that.

Hi! The last days I played around with d-i. I realized that net-i1440-image doesn't fit on one single floppy. Another aproach to reduce the size is to build a kernel-image designed for the debian-installer with a reduced feature-set. I managed to build one that is about 70k smaller.
