Bug#373253: Cause of g-i crashing on AMD64 at VT switch found
reassign 373253 debian-installer reopen 373253 retitle 373253 g-i requires libgcc_s.so.1 on AMD64 and PowerPC to be provided by an audeb tags 373253 patch thanks I'm reassigning this bug to debian-installer because it's a d-i building problem. I'm reopening the bug for two reasons: 1) libgcc_s.so.1 is provided via EXTRAFILES on AMD64. 2) libgcc_s.so.1 is not provided at all on PowerPC With respect to sole point 2, here is a patch (hence the bug tagging) which adds proper EXTRAFILES lines to the two powerpc32/64 configuration files i think need it (build/config/powerpc/powerpc/netboot-gtk.cfg and build/config/powerpc/powerpc64/netboot-gtk.cfg) I'm not sure those files are the only which need a similar patch, please someone apply similar patches wherever it's needed. Once something similar to the attached patch is applied, the bug should be untagged and left open to remind us that the EXTRAFILES trick should be avoided and an ad hoc udeb created, as lsted among the Lenny goals [1]. sincerely Attilio [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/LennyGoals -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#373253: Cause of g-i crashing on AMD64 at VT switch found
retitle 373253 g-i requires libgcc_s.so.1 on AMD64 and PowerPC thanks Given that this is not really a problem in directfb, and was agreed the proper fix would be to ship libgcc in a new udeb post-etch, I'm closing this bug now. I agree, btw i recently noticed that also the PowerPC g-i builds need the libgcc_s.so.1 file to be pulled in (this requires a patch to the relevant configuration powerpc files in the installer), so i'm retitling this BR accordingly for future reference. sincerely Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yesterday i tried to dig a bit some more in this issue, but i had no luck. It looks like libgcc is needed on AMD64 only, on i386 i culd not find this library in the ISO, and i wonder why AMD64 differs from i386. I haven't the skills to solve this issue, so if no one comes at rescue i'll ask d-gcc guys, who maintain libgcc. cheers Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Try this by yourself - boot an amd64 image with DEBIAN_FRONTEND=newt - proceed with installation process until full libc6 is unpacked - wget libgcc_s.so.1 into the installer - export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=gtk - debian-installer now you should be able to chvt without crashing anymore. Thanks for finding this bug! I didn't know that you could change the frontend on the fly. So you interrupted it right after installing the libc and restarted after changing the frontend? I think this starts two main-menu instances in parallel, but one could set global the DEBIAN_FRONTEND variable and then kill mainmenu (wrapped) to see if it's possible having one single main-menu instance running. cheers and thanks for all your efforts in debugging this :) Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
