This is no excuse for not contemplating stability, but in my experience with first-time users, they get the worst impression from youtube not working (and the response from the browser being utterly confusing) than with browser crashes. They're used to browser crashes after all, and they get the same thing when they manage to add Adobe's crap anyway. Thanks, -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!

ARM build failure
The ARM images failed to build because the Netwinder image is too large (by around 200 bytes!). While investigating what to do about this, I noticed that the 2.6.24 kernel is about 80 KB larger than 2.6.22. So even if we fix this now for beta1, it will probably break again for beta2. Therefore we might just as well disable the Netwinder image for now and make sure that 2.6.25 will be smaller so the image size will be ok. I will go ahead and disable Netwinder if there are no objections. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I have removed everything under ~/.local/share/gnash, and now I started looking for anything containing 'gnash' in . directories to clean up. Still no success. Any pointers from the gnash developers about possible configuration left-overs that I should remove are more than welcome. Note that even youtube doesn't work, so ... I think it is stable enough to be included in Lenny, but it is not perfect yet, as you might imagine :) Note that usually people think of gnash in terms of the „flash plugin for firefox”, and since the gnash package doesn't actually offer that functionality, in tasksel we should talk about "mozilla-plugin-gnash" or "konqueror-plugin-gnash", depending on the task. -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein

- versions you have tried
All official versions (there has been a regression at some point, but
unfortunately I can't say when it happened).
I have tried the version from unstable, but even on youtube I get one
second of "loading" then a grey area where the payer would be. Maybe
there are some persistent settings in $HOME?
Also, on an Etch powerpc system with gnash backported, it was working
somewhere around 0.8.0, but lately it just continuously load.
I can't reproduce this, but anyway I suggest you file bug reports (provided
it applies to the latest version -backported or not-), and possibly cleanup
your $HOME ;-)
It appears that there is indeed something in my setup, since I created a
new account in which *initially* gnash didn't work, but after restarting
the browser, it worked, and it worked even better than before.
I erased the shockwave flash reference from:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
And apprently there was something suspicious in
$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
(Let's see. Nope, not enough.)
Hmm, there are some oddities in my ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat.
I had a reference to an old flash non-free plugin installed in my home
dir somewhere.
Is it normal for .flv to ba handled by
/usr/lib/totem/gstreamer/libtotem-basic-plugin.so ?
Still, not enough.
I even copied the .mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat contents from the test
user profile to the mine, still no improvement.
OK, I started fresh with another user, logged in fired up epiphany and
later did this search:

Re: [PATCH] add -versatile flavour to linux-kernel-di-armel-2.6
Any comments on this one? If nobody objects, I'd like to check it in. But I want to be careful not to disrupt the release process for beta1 ... This change implies that linux-kernel-di-armel-2.6 will only be buildable on sid untill 2.6.24 migrates; I assume that's not a problem?

For the moment I'd prefer to keep it for some time in testing and see how it works for everyone before adding it to the desktop task, even though it works quite well now for me and for other people I've asked to try it, it needs more beta-testing before adding it as default for desktop.

(I assume this is about installing gnash by default ...) The negative thing about installing gnash by default is that normal users won't really notice what they are running and might perceive debian in general as "being-broken" if they visit a site that has not-support flash content. Further, there is no way to tell users easily that there might be a bad, but working solution (nonfree). Afterall, this the main reason why we still don't ship gnash preinstalled in ubuntu. However, instead of doing nothing we setup a plugin database which is useful for other content types as well. If you think this would be a viable thing to do for debian, we could include the debian plugins in our database or setup a new one running on people.debian.org or somewhere else.

You mean, as opposed to the site being broken? :-) I think this is a gray area. If they install the non-free plugin, and the plugin crashes, they blame it on the browser (I've seen this happen a gazillon of times). Etc..

Bug#442236: updated patch
Hi,
attached is an updated patch against current partman-base. I attach an
updated version for review since it contains a template which might be
interesting for translators
Template: partman/text/multipath
Type: text
_Description: Multipath %s (WWID %s)
Template: partman/text/multipath_partition
Type: text
_Description: Multipath %s Partition #%s
and since the partman-base code got refactored and the old version
doesn't apply anymore.
Cheers,
-- Guido

disk-detect template review
Hi, Otavio asked me to put this template snippet out for review. It's been added to svn recently when we added multipath support to disk-detect: Template: disk-detect/multipath/enable Type: boolean Default: false Description: for internal use; can be preseeded Check for the presence of multipathed devices? It's been modeled after disk-detect/dmraid/enable. Cheers, -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I agree with Alexander. Even if gnash was more stable, having a tool t switch/enable the plugin you want is a lot more desirable than loosing the battle before it begins. -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

New partman-multipath udeb
I saw that Otavio committed the multipath udeb. The indentation in various scripts is a complete mess. Also, it looks like the finish-install script should be a base-installer script (and should include what's in the finish.d script) as that would remove the need to run update-initramfs again. I'm fairly disappointed that this was just committed without a proper review. Cheers, FJP signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

There are two (minor) issues in:
+ if [ "$type" != multipath ] -a ! is_multipath_part $device; then
It should be:
+ if [ "$type" != multipath ] && ! is_multipath_part $device; then
These two lines have inconsistent indentation:
+ grep '_ \([0-9]\+:\)\{3\}[0-9]\+ sd[a-z]\+
[0-9]\+:[0-9]\+' | \
+ cut -f4 -d' '); do
Please use tabs as much as possible.
Please use tabs for indentation in the dm_table function.
For both dm_table and is_multipath_part functions, please move the opening
brace to the same line as the function name.
Cheers,
FJP

This line is way to cryptic to my taste: [ -n "$(/sbin/multipath -l)" && $? ] && return 0 || return 1 Could you rewrite that to something that is a bit more intuitive? Maybe: if mplist=$(/sbin/multipath -l) && [ "$mplist" ]; then return 0 else return 1 fi Also, is there a chance that 'multipath -l' will output to STDERR? If there is, that should either be redirected to /dev/null or logoutput should be used. I have also fixed the indentation in that function to use tabs instead of spaces. Cheers, FJP

Presenting the user with a choice they didn't ask for is hardly qualifiable as a "superior user experience". It's simply an efficient way to delegate a problem on the user instead of solving it. It's like "look, our free flash player is not so good, but we give you the chance of becoming Adobe's slave instead! isn't choice great?". We can do much better. For one thing, we support youtube already, and we didn't have to kneel to Adobe in order to get it working. -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!

The thing that worries me, is that there is no battle. There is only Adobe doing the complete land rush / gold rush / "flash rush" on it's own. And everbody[1] takes it for granted. I think it is stupid^Wshortsighted, at least naive, to put your own message on your own website and next asking your audience to go the Adobe website to fetch a reader to be able read your message. It is even more stupid to continue with that strange habit after seeing several flash version (each new flash version means that your audience must fetch a new flash version from Adobe ) in other words: Adobe owns your content Cheers^W Geert Stappers [1] exceptions: Those who skip flash websites and the brave people who are writing gnash. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#442236: updated patch
On Tuesday 26 February 2008, Guido Günther wrote: > I've attached an updated patch. Thanks for the comments. Thanks for the update, but I'm afraid I have one more. Please define variables used inside functions with 'local', especially when defining variables with common names like "type". Partman is very modular and will sometimes function calls can be very nested, so there is a real risk that variables on higher levels will get clobbered if 'local' is not used, which of course could result in unexpected errors that are very hard to trace.

Btw, in case you really think by partnering with Adobe we'll somehow gain enough weight to later liberate ourselves, you have to see what is coming: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/02/adobe-pushes-drm-flash "Users may also have to upgrade their Flash Player software (and open source alternatives like Gnash, which has been making rapid progress, may be unable to play the encrypted streams at all)" Scary, really scary.

I don't think there's any real problem with committing the work as long as it is not included in any builds by default. Please add a README explaining the status of the frontend and a TODO with open issues. For the installer the main issue to be solved IIRC is authentication: how to prevent that just anybody can connect to the installer without any kind of authentication.

I have just done an installation myself using only CD 1.
My answers during apt-setup were:
- Scan another CD or DVD? No
- Use a network mirror? No
I did use a security mirror (as that is the default).
During pkgsel ("Select and install software") I selected the Desktop task
and the Standard task.
The only problem that I did encounter was that the installation got stuck on
the installation ssl-cert, but that is a known issue that is unrelated to
the installer itself and should be fixed soon.
Other than that the installation worked perfectly using only CD 1.
If your problem is different, please try to reproduce it and use the
option "Save debug logs" in the main menu of the installer and send us the
following files for the installation (gzipped!):
- /var/log/syslog
- /var/log/hardware-summary
In what language did you do the installation? Maybe that could make a
difference.
Cheers,
FJP
