--- Comment #40 from Petter Reinholdtsen <[email protected]> 2009-12-14 16:35:33 --- I tested a workaround where I simply disabled the progress handling in ltsp-client-builder.postinst and installed using the DVD. This patch was used: Index: ltsp-client-builder.postinst =================================================================== --- ltsp-client-builder.postinst (revision 60145) +++ ltsp-client-builder.postinst (working copy) @@ -88,8 +92,7 @@ # remove progress.log from previous attempt test -f "$progress_log" && rm -f "$progress_log" -DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical -in-target ltsp-build-client $BUILD_CLIENT_OPTS > /tmp/ltsperror.txt 2>&1 || touch "$failed_stamp" && rm -f "$running_stamp" & +in-target ltsp-build-client $BUILD_CLIENT_OPTS > /tmp/ltsperror.txt 2>&1 || touch "$failed_stamp" && rm -f "$running_stamp" # some progress handling... old=0 With this patch in place and DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer as a kernel option, the installation did not hang. I still got some bogus entries in the installation log, but apparently the timing or something is changed and the problem went away: Dec 14 15:09:00 in-target: info: LTSP client installation completed successfully Dec 14 15:09:00 debconf: --> PROGRESS STOP Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: <-- 0 OK Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: (process:27002): /bin/debconf-get: Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: (process:27002): return: Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: (process:27002): line 4: Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: (process:27002): Illegal number: d-i Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: (process:27002): Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: --> GET debconf/priority Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: <-- 0 critical Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: INFO: Modifying debconf priority limit from 'nb_NO.UTF-8' to 'high' Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: --> GET debconf/priority SET debconf/priority high X_SAVE METAGET de bian-installer/ethdetect/title Description Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: <-- 20 Incorrect number of arguments Dec 14 15:09:01 main-menu[1067]: INFO: Falling back to the package description for ethdetect Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: --> GET auto-install/enable Dec 14 15:09:01 debconf: <-- 0 false Notice how main-menu believed the priority was nb_NO.UTF.y and how a GET, SET, X_SAVE and METAGET command is given on the same line resulting in "Incorrect number of arguments" as the reply from debconf. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.skolelinux.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
