Bug#272136: More progress about the "Arabic crash" in Debian Installer

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

[Christian Perrier]
> Now really attached

Running the program in valgrind gave this error report.  Most of them
look like bugs in glibc to me.  Not sure if these bugs are the ones
trigging the crash.

Another info.

The crash only happens when the current locale is a UTF-8 locale

export LC_ALL=C ; ./out --> no crash
export LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 ; ./out --> crash

(Steve tried with another UTF-8 locale and had the crash)

IF the locale is not UTF-8, the characters are not interpreted as
Arabic and thus the crash does not happen


Another info : Steve tried without libfribidi0 and the crash didn't happen

This is correct, there is no bootloader message at all. Right at the
point where the bootloader should 'jump in', it hangs.
And, regarding the SATA modules (sata_sil, sata_sis), the promise-sata
module is present and loaded. This doesn't seem to be the specific
problem (?).
One of the advices I received was to disable ACPI (in either the BIOS or
during boot in the OS) prior to installation. I haven't had the time to
try this (yet).
If anyone has some ideas, please share them :).

This is a known error in the RC1 release that has been fixed since.
Please take a look at [1].

You can try to correct this by making sure the offending module does not get 
loaded (by blacklisting it) or by trying a more recent version of the 
installer.

Bug#265183: pppoe workaround of the post-reboot problem

I agree with you about the bug#263224 importance. I believe though that
pppoeconfig might need to at least give a hint about the need to have the
module preloaded - right now the behaviour during pppoeconfig is
inconsistent with the behaviour after the fresh boot when just pppoe is
being run. I agree that it is out of the scope of pppoe or pppd.  But,
ideally, pppoeconfing aiming to be a 1-2-3 setup wizard type of program, I
think it should do everything including modconf-ing the module in forever
if necessary, or at least offering this interactively as an option.

> PS: I won't clone 265183, there are already enough bug reports to the

But what about the routing loop problem I had mentioned in the original
265183 report? It is something pretty confusing for a new user.

Kind regards,
Vassilii
P.S. Sorry for a long silence - I was on vacation abroad, away from my
home which is where all my ADSL hardware lives.

It is a serious (IMO) problem that discover isn't blacklisting the OSS 
modules when ALSA has been installed. I have also had trouble with this 
on a new Sarge installations. Have a look at this bug report

At present partman-auto can not reuse existing partitions.  In

Yes, this can be an extension of partman.

In general I think that partman-auto needs to be partialy reworked to
allow easy creation of such extensions and to support reusing existing
partitions, creating partitions on two and more hard disks, LVM and
RAID, upgrade of existing GNU/Linux system, etc.

Bug#272514: install: Partition table written to disk without user agreement

[Orestes Mas]

Package: install
Severity: critical
Tags: security d-i
Justification: causes serious data loss



-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686
Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug in debian-installer which causes a partition table being edited to be written to 
disk without warning nor asking the user.

This bug has been confirmed by two independent persons. To reproduce it, please do the 
following:

1) Start a new Debian sarge installation using the "netinst" CDROM installer. I used 
the 
"linux26" boot option.

2) Proceed until the disk partitioning stage. Notice that when entering the main 
partitioning menu, the first option is selected (RAID stuff).

3) DELETE a partition. You must delete one, because the bug DON'T show up when you ADD 
one.

4) Notice that, when returning to the main menu, the newly created partition IS NOT 
selected, but instead the "RAID configuration" menu is.

5) Press ENTER over the RAID menu. Then the installer enters the RAID menu WITHOUT 
warning the user the partition table should be saved to disk prior to do RAID 
configuration. Moreover, THE PARTITION TABLE IS SAVED TO DISK without asking (there's 
disk activity). If the "go back" button is pressed, the changes cannot be undone. The 
partition is actually deleted.

6) If you ADD a partition, then when returning to the main menu the newly created 
partition is selected (not the RAID menu), and if you go into the RAID menu, a warning 
is displayed suggesting the user should save the partition table before proceeding.

I hope you can reproduce this severe bug with the information I provide.

Orestes Mas.

Which loop? I do not know why your modem has an own IP, maybe it is a
router and not a modem? Why does it give your local systems DHCP
adresses? How are they related to whatever is connected there? Or maybe
it is not a usual PPPoE modem but this other weird
ip-route-over-fake-internal-network-with-dhcp-over-DSL system (*).

Or what t.f. is a "LAN duplex link"? Does not say anything to me. Maybe
a phantasy name from your ISP? If yes, what is in the real world terms?

Regards,
Eduard.

PS: (*) I am still looking for somebody to explain me how this
"technology" works and can provide a reliable step-for-step howto to add
support for it to pppoeconf. Or even patches. From time to time people
asked me to add support for their "DHCP DSL" but for real support more
is needed.

So, your "solution" is to ask "Should I break your system now or after

User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.6+20040818i

Hi,

I used the sarge image to install Debian on my new laptop and would like
to give you some feedback about that experience.
Installing is the kind of thing i usually don't do, Debian being
updateable, except on such occasions (i.e. new PC).
First, i must say i was impressed by the installation. The installer is
really neat and unpainful. A great load of improvements have been made
since last time i installed a Debian system.

So here are a few feelings about my experience.

- The order of the keymap list in the "select a keyboard layout" screen is
  randomish, and it makes it harder to find what we look for...

- The guided partitioning made a 148MB /. It's too tight. After the
  install, I wanted to install a new kernel... after that install, the
  space left on device was 0 (well, actually 4MB of reserved space,
  which is not a whole lot)...

- I was kinda disappointed by the 500MB partition for /tmp. Why not just
  use tmpfs ?

- And 500MB swap for 768MB RAM could be problematic (especially if one
  wants to use software suspend)

- When choosing mount points for a partition, it would be better to hide
  the mount points already configured...

- When creating partitions, the sequence for mount points is /, /home,
  /tmp... that's kinda weird... first, i'd have expected /usr or /var
  before /home, and swap to come instead of /tmp.

- When choosing apt sources and using the http ones, i've been asked
  twice for an http proxy...

Now, on the after-install side. (Note: I used linux26 install, and chose
the desktop environment)

- acpid didn't get installed. I'd have expected it to be there,
  especially for a laptop (why not adding a laptop task ?).

- alsa-base didn't get installed, which is kinda required for proper
  alsa configuration (including hotplug blacklists and so on),
  especially with a 2.6 kernel, which includes alsa, contrary to 2.4.

- Both discover and hotplug got installed, making hotplug blacklists
  obsolete... and sound not working. discover was loading the
  i810_audio, while hotplug wouldn't have (it is blacklisted by
  alsa-base). Is there any particular reason to use both ?

Apart from that and the usual xfree configuration problems (keyboard
layout being us instead of whatever was configured earlier, refresh
rates being asked while i have no clue of what they are (is it relevant
on LCD, anyway ??)), everything went fine.

Mike

There are a number of woody boot disks with different kernels. One has
a 2.4 kernel, and the others have 2.2 kernels.

Comments/Problems:

- I am trying to install a RAID 1 system with two identical 80GB IDE
hard drives. The only
parameter I introduce in the boot option is: _linux26_

- During install, both hard drives were partitioned exactly in the
same order and size:
First /dev/hda1, next /dev/hdc1; second /dev/hda2, next /dev/hdc2...

- Most of the install was perfect. Everything worked as spected:
network, partition, RAID 1,
even boot loader worked (GRUB).

PROBLEM: REBOOT
===

- Once I try to get into my new Debian system, I get an error related
to fsck. As I have
done a 'fresh install', there is nothing I can do from here.

- I guess there is something missing in the custom kernel 2.6 image.

- Please note the lines starting by 'mdadm:'. I am surprised mdadm
tries to look for
/dev/md/X instead of /dev/mdX which would be more logical...

- One more comment: I tried to install the same linux26 system in ONE
of the hard drives,
by NOT switching on the second one: and everything went perfect.

- I guess this is the last step before being able to run a RAID Debian
system directly
from Sarge installer 'out-of-the-box'.  :-)


- Thanks a lot for an awesome work!!!
Sergio

Bug#265161: Proposed patch for default country being properly chosen in countrychooser

[Christian Perrier]

tags 265161 patch
thanks

The attached patch to countrychooser 1.04 does the job. It has been
loosely tested so MORE TEST IS NEEDED.

It works as is:

Translators should "translate" ${SHORTLIST} to ${SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED}
in PO files. A comment is added for explaining this. Existing
translations are changed accordingly (but master files should be
changed if the patch is applied, for languages using them).

The replace_translations scripts directly edits the generated
templates file (after dh_installdebconf) and replaces the
SHORTLIST_TRANSLATED variable bu the translated list (taken from the
file built by mkshort)

The mkshort script now only generated, for each language, the list of
country codes and names (in English) which are supported. No more
translations, no more sorting accoring to the locale.

This patch breaks one minor feature : the country list in the short
list is no more sorted. I currently see no way for having all of the
following:

-translated country names
-sorted names
-correct default

As the list is most often quite short, I think that having it unsorted
does not harm that much.

Comments/Problems:

First, the installation manual talks about "boot net:dhcp", but my
machine tries to boot via ARP if I use that.  Please mention "boot
net:bootp" as an alternative.

When I boot with any of the four boot commands, bogl somewhat locks up
the display.  If I change to another VC, the cursor will reappear, but
as soon as I type one character, the cursor disappears, and the
character is not shown.  When I switch to another VC and back, the
cursor is back, and the character displayed, as it should be.  I can
blindly type "ls", the output appears after switchung to
another VC and back.

The error message of bogl is: "bogl: mmapping /dev/fb0: No such file
or directory".  /dev/fb0 does not exist, but /dev/fb/0 does.
Symlinking /dev/fb0 to /dev/fb/0 didn't help.

Init constantly respawns the installation system, and I didn't find
out how to stop it.  I edited /etc/inittab and replaced
/sbin/debian-installer with /bin/sh and did kill -HUP 1, but that only
got me a shell in addition to the constantly respawning bogl on vc1.

For commandline c) I looked at /proc/cmdline, the contents is indeed
"hurz debconf/frontend=newt".

Yep, oldworld miboot floppies is my personal goal for Oldenbourg. If someone
would be so nice and dissassemble me the miboot boot sector, and try to
decrypt the rom calls made in it, we could even clean-room reimplement it, and
thus move miboot to contrib, and try building it with gcc instead of
codewarrior, then it could even go to main.

Bug#272552: Install report for sparc64 with kernel 2.6 via netboot (failed)

[Jö Fahlke]

Of course, I didn't read the manual carefully and missed the boot
option debian-installer/framebuffer.  So I tried setting it to false,
but it didn't help.

The last thing I see before the cursor disappears on VC1 is:

(process:281) INFO: kbd-mode: setting console mode to unicode (UTF-8)

Initial boot


I had to use "boot net:bootp", but the installation manual only talks
about "boot net:dhcp" (and "boot net", but that's for RARP).  "boot
net:bootp" should be added to the installation manual.

When booting with any oth the three boot commands (see above) bogl
starts but doesn't draw anything on the screen.  I can change the VC,
but when I change back to VC1 the cursor disappears and the contents
of the previous VC remains on the screen.  The log on VC4 looks like
debian-installer thinks it is displaying the main menu.

I'm pretty sure this machine is sparc64, not sparc32.  At least it
looks exactly like mine, ant that is definitely sparc64.

Installing without boot loader

[Stefano Canepa]

Dear all,
I tried d-i to setup a Debian GNU/Linux on a laptop where I have Fedora
Core 2 installed. As a test I decided to use FC2 boot loader so I  went
back to the menu and went on without a boot loader installed by d-i.
What I found is that, even if I know this is only for expert user,
dialogs explaning what to do to use another boot loader are not so
clear. I think that we can insert a better text. What do you think? Do I
need to open a bug with a patch of that text? Do you prefer to discuss a
little here?

Ciao

Matt,
first of all subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is
the mailing list where all Debian italian translator coordinate their
work. Currently I am trying to let stage 1 to remain 100% and doing some
work on other stages. What is really outdated is the manual. If you like

No HFS driver, and "change install priority" menu option missing -- and other bugs found while testing 2.4 boot floppies on OldWorld PowerMac

[Rick Thomas]

Package: installation-reports
In addition to the already noted problems with 2.4 PowerPC boot 
floppies, I have two requests for modules to be included on the 
root or root-2:

1) The "change installation priority" menu item should be available 
*very* early in the install process.  Best would be immediately 
after loading the root-2.  Currently, it is not available up thru 
partitioning, at least.

2) The "hfs" and "hfsplus" (MacOS filesystem formats) filesystem 
modules should be available early on.  This would make it much 
easier to save log files to a floppy or a zip disk.  Also, they are 
*required* for support of booting with BootX, so that the kernel 
and initrd can be copied from /target/boot/ to the appropriate 
place on the MacOS partition prior to the reboot.

For the sake of completeness, here's a list of the other things 
I've found that currently don't work about the 2.4 powermac boot 
floppies:

3) Country chooser is called before loading root-2, so it hangs 
trying to do a "grep US" on a file that is on root-2, but should be 
on root.

4) the "ofonlyboot" floppy never switches to text-mode screen.  It 
reads and ejects the boot floppy.  But, since the text mode screen 
never appears, it's impossible to proceed further.  This happens on 
both my test machines, the beige G3 tower, and the 6500.

5) It never finds my disk.  It gets all the way to partitioner 
without loading either the "mesh" driver or the driver for my PCI 
IDE controller card.

For the record, I do not have any of these problems with installing 
via BootX using the latest businesscard CD.  Of course, for 
problems 3 and 4 this is a trivial statement.

Also for the record, these problems occur when using the 
"net-drivers" floppy.  I have not tried to use the "CD-drivers" 
floppy.

I would consider problems 3 and 5 to be "show stoppers".
Life would be *much* easier if 1 and 2 were fixed.
Since the "boot" floppy works on my hardware, I consider problem 4 
to be lower priority than the rest -- though others, for whom the 
"boot" floppy doesn't do the job, may reasonably disagree.

Enjoy!
Rick

He is using an alcatel speedtouch ethernet modem which encapsulates
PPP in PPTP, to allow using PPPoA. The modem has 10.0.0.138 and the host
should have another address in that range.
This page describes a similar but different (there is no ppp0, but eth0)
configuration: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/diagrams.phtml .
If the modem DHCP server is really providing a gateway then I
consider this a modem bug.

It's not hard. Look at this example configuration:

Several packages should be changed from Standard to Optional for Sarge

[Frans Pop]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: important
Tags: sarge d-i

There are several libraries that are currently priority standard although 
they have been obsoleted by newer versions.

Having these priority standard means that they will be installed on any 
system newly installed using Debian Installer, but will probably never be 
used.
I propose that the priority for these packages be changed to optional 
_before_ the Sarge release.

AFAICT, for i386 this is true for the following libraries:
- libdb2, libdb4.0
  (libdb3 and 4.2 are heavily used; libdb4.1 is only used by vacation)
- libgnutils7, libgnutils10
- libcrypt7, libcrypt1
- libopencdk4

The same is true for ipchains, which has been obsoleted by iptables for both 
the current 2.4 and the 2.6 kernels.

Also, it could be argued that vacation should be made optional as 
bsdmainutils only suggests it. In that case libdb4.1 could also be changed 
to optional.

I guess the same could be true for other architectures, but I have not 
investigated those.

Introduction and questions about a failure while calling dpkg-buildpackage linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6-0.71

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

I am a happy Debian User and software engineer in my job (mostly real time 
with another OS). I currently bought a Pegasos I board (powerpc) to set up
my small home server.

I managed to install gentoo 2004.1 on it and can easily recompile my kernel.

However as Sven Luther has a lot of things to do and his images for the 
powerpc-chrp are still too big to be loaded by the openprom, I am decided to 
try building the debian installer on my PowerBook. 

I am following the instructions in the custom-kernel.txt from the debian 
installer and had to problem to complete step 1 mainly producing a kernel 
deb.

I run however into problems with step 2. There were a lot of missing modules 
in my pegasos kernel as I tried to minimize it. I fixed them by 
a) recompiling the kernel with more modules enabled
b) prepending a '-' in the corresponding modules/powerpc/* file (my private 
hack) 

I didn't touch debian/control.stub. After having editited kernel-versions I 
called kernel-wedge gen-control > debian/control. Now running sudo 
dpkg-buildpackage in 
/usr/src/linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6-0.71
results with the following output:
>dpkg-buildpackage: source package is linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6

What did I miss? Do have to copy manuall /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-pegasos to 
/lib/modules/2.6.8-pegasos ?

Is there somewhere a newer version of linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Comments/Problems:

The boot got stuck when trying to load a module for my (unused) Adaptec
AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U Since rmmod is not on the boot floppy I could
not stop it (don't know if rmmod would have done so anyway).

Feature request: timeout loading modules

Anyway I booted in advanced mode, and disabled that module, and some
others I thought I didn't need. Turned out I did need them since parted
locked up without them. Reboot again, this time only disable the aic
module.

So far so good - them it tried to automatically detect other OS's.

***And this is the meat of the report***

os-prober started walking though my devices - and when it got to a certain
device (representing I believe a smart card reader) it froze, kill -9
would not kill it. Any command that touched that device would hang
forever.

This is not the bug. The bug is why is it walking through random devices?
Please have it walk only though devices in /proc/partitions!

Feature request #2: when installing in advanced mode, don't automatically
find other OS's - ask the user if he wants it first.

I finally had success by editing os-prober and adding exit as the first
command.

Next error: I initially tried using kernel 2.6, but it hung when loading
initrd, don't remember the exact message. I reinstalled using 2.4 which
worked fine.

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.

linux-kernel-di packages an existing kernel in a udeb. I think you're 
expected to have the kernel package specified in kernel-versions
installed on your system. Short of that, you probably can place the 
kernel and modules in the same type place with the same names.

What's the status of this? Does /boot on LVM work? 

I was thinking, if /boot (be that as a filesystem in it's own right, or as
part of the root filesystem) is detected to be on a logical volume, the
installer should fall back to using LILO as the bootloader, that way
everything can be on LVM, without any caveats.

libgcrypt7 is used by libgnutls10, so must also remain part of base.

This one should be traded for libopencdk8, which is part of base.

This is debatable; there are still plenty of users and tools that prefer
the ipchains interface.

vacation isn't in standard because it's a dependency, it's in standard
because of the definition of standard.

So should we disable loading agpgart altogether for this bridge? I'm
loath about possibly breaking other things; then again, other AGP
bridges surrounding it are marked bridge/ignore..

Just soliciting opionins from people who may have the same hardware.

Comments/Problems:
On the destination disk, beside the USB boot device, I also had older
version of install ISO.
The installer took the ISO from the disk in precedence before trying to
load it from my USB flash disk.
That resulted in impossibility to load modules and detect hardware
(including network devices).

Firstly I was trying to install directly to an /dev/md0, which installer
set up correctly. Also
XFS creation produced no error. ButInstall base system hung up. After
some tries I finnaly got
to a boot loader installation, I chose GRUB, but another unrecoverable
hung occured.

Finnaly I had to install the system to a small (2 GiB) partition, using
ext2, without trying to setup
software RAID, and using LILO as boot loader. Then I set up /dev/md0,
copied system, installed
GRUB and changed the 2 GiB partition type to swap.

Install logs and other status info is available in
/var/log/debian-installer/.
