This has been done, but Phil later discovered that this solution does not cover one particular case: when stable is installed using LVM or RAID, apt-install is called just before the divert is done and this makes the progress bar disappear during the last part of base-installer. So a stable update is very much desired. Cheers, FJP signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Actually, helping out the D-I development and, particularly some features (including adding some features) is pretty easy even without being a DD. It just requires people to read available docs (in installer/doc in D-I SVN, particularly in devel/ and talks/). Subscribing to -boot is nearly mandatory in case you want an easier interaction.

Bug#470614: leaves possibility to login as root without password
Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.8 Severity: normal Hello. Since debootstrap is often (at least by me) used to create chrooted environment for some services I'm threating this problem as rather important. Fresh debootstrapped system leaves empty password for root. It should at least put asterisk in /etc/shadow for that user. Friend of mine set up chrooted environment for postfix installation. He used MySQL as a backend for managing users and he made his best to ensure such system won't be open relay. He didn't even think that by default root account has no password, and this way some spammer sent 40k mails by this installation. Spammer used root account and authorized using empty password. I'm not sure whether it should be fixed in debootstrap itself or in base-files (this package afaik creates /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow). During normal installation user is asked for root password that's why I chose debootstrap for this bugreport. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.

Attached a patch that implements this.
There are separate template files for each language that has multiple fall
backs defined. These only need to be translated for that specific language
and will thus not be included in the normal l10n infrastructure.
The templates are appended to the templates file at build time by a new
script: mktemplates.warnings. The script warns about languages for which
these strings are missing.
I've also split the 5 new templates from the previous patch into separate
strings. There are now only two templates which are "assembled" at run
time. In part this was needed for the language-specific templates anyway,
but it also prevents duplication of strings (and their translations) in the
templates file, and thus reduces initrd size and memory usage.
I'd like to get at least two languages translated for additional testing
before committing, but first is a review of the various English strings.

localechooser between 1.46 and 2.00:

Display warning if translation is not complete
Based on a translation status file included in the initrd at build time.
The severity of the warning depends on how much is untranslated based on
the D-I sublevels and taking into account what architecture is being
installed.
Note that incomplete translations in components not in D-I SVN are not
taken into account.

Preparing a new aptitude release.
Hello, everyone. I've got enough bug-fixes and new features into the aptitude source tree that I think it's time for a new release. This includes: * Use the same configuration option as apt to disable Recommends, so --without-recommends works again. (#448561) * Make "update" work even if there's a problem in the local package lists. (#468751) * Fix "safe-upgrade" in some cases where you would have to run it twice in a row to get all the upgrades. * Eliminate some cases where aptitude would break holds and forbids (I need an ABI-changing patch against apt to fix the rest). * Get the codebase compiling with g++-4.3. * Fix "aptitude show" to not reverse the "automatically installed" flag. * Support for the centralized debtags infrastructure (makes startup quicker by dropping the "loading tags..." step) * Support for multi-level package descriptions from Paul Donohue, which incidentally removes the hardcoding of the standard list of descriptions (hopefully this will make life easier for maintainers in derived distributions). I heard that the installer team is preparing a release, so I won't upload just yet. Will I disrupt anyone if I release after the installer beta is finalized?

[D-I] Warnings for incomplete translations - some translations needed
Hi all, Now that the infrastructure for sublevels has been implemented, we can warn users if the language they have selected is not fully translated. The advantage of that is that we can be a bit more relaxed about having translations at (near) 100% for a release because the user will be warned in advance that he may encounter some strings in a different language and (s)he will have the option of either continuing, switching to a different language, or aborting the installation before e.g. his harddisk has been erased... The warnings are in 5 different levels of severity depending on the sublevel which is incomplete. One example of a warning is: The translation of the installer is incomplete for the selected language. This means that there is a significant chance that some dialogs will be displayed in English instead. Unless you have a good understanding of the alternative language, it is recommended to either select a different language or abort the installation. Continue the installation in the selected language? As you can see, the warnings include the language that the installer will fall back to. For most languages this will always be English, but a few have other fallbacks that are tried first. For these languages we have added extra strings that list these fallback languages. These extra strings will not be included in the normal l10n processes, but will be maintained separately. Request for *ONLY* Chinese and Portuguese translators - In order to do some final testing, I would appreciate translations of these extra strings *only for the following languages*: - Simplified Chinese - Traditional Chinese - Portuguese - Brazilian Portuguese Please send me (either privately or on the list) the translation the attached file that ends in your language code; i.e: you only need to translate the strings in one file.

I am already translating these messages to Portuguese, but am unsure on what to do once i finish it. It says that, and i quote, # After that has been done, the templates can be uncommented (the # example text should remain commented!). My first message now looks like this (still pending review, so it may not be final): #Template: localechooser/translation/text/warn_incomplete/pt #Type: text # This means that there is a significant chance that some dialogs will be # displayed in Brazilian Portuguese or, if that is also not available, in # English. #Description: Isto significa que há a hipótese que algumas das questões colocadas sejam mostradas em Português do Brasil ou, se também essa língua não estiver disponível, em Inglês. Did I put it on the right place, or should I have written it in front of Description ? I take it In the end it should be a little bit like this: Template: localechooser/translation/text/warn_incomplete/pt Type: text # This means that there is a significant chance that some dialogs will be # displayed in Brazilian Portuguese or, if that is also not available, in # English. Description: Isto significa que há a hipótese que algumas das questões colocadas sejam mostradas em Português do Brasil ou, se também essa língua não estiver disponível, em Inglês. am i right ?

Re: OEM-Install for Debian?

If, indeed, is a modified Debian Installer, I guess we could get the D-I module and add an option to boot with such an option. Ditto for the package(s) in the system. Matt, most likely, can confirm or infirm the assumptions above :-) . Background: I just started the European branch of ZaReason, Inc., and we sell hardware (desktops and laptops, mostly) pre-configured with Ubuntu, and - since I jumped in - also with Debian. Cool! I would really love to see systems with Debian preinstalled here in Romania. I'm no DD myself, but would offer help - I've read the Debian documentations and made some backports so far (for private use only). I hope that this step would also help with the consideration of other vendors to offer pre-installed systems, and spread Debian even further. It is not necessary to be a DD. In case of answers, please CC me because I'm currently not subscribed to the debian-boot mailing list. done Thanks for your interest, your time, and for all the efforts you put into projects like Debian and Ubuntu.

Bug#470522: Kernel oopses before installation on my T41
On Wednesday 12 March 2008, Frank Bauer wrote: > It still fails with framebuffer off, but the text frontend allows me to > see the message in full: So now we do know what the exact problem is and it's clearly a kernel issue. It looks similar to this report: http://www.kerneloops.org/guilty.php?guilty=run_workqueue&version=2.6.22-release&start=1474560&end=1507327&class=b It is strange though that you don't see it on the installed system, though that could be a difference between the 486 and 686 flavors. The next question is what to do about it, and I'm afraid that we're kind of stuck there. We're very close to the beta1 release and fixing the kernel for that is just not an option anymore. Upstream has stopped maintenance for 2.6.22, so reporting the issue there does not make much sense. The Debian kernel team already wanted to be rid of 2.6.22 (and that will happen immediately after the D-I beta), and so is unlikely to want to look into this, let alone fix it. Seems to me that the best course of action is to see this issue as an erratum for 2.6.22 and check whether it's fixed as soon as we switch the installer to 2.6.24 (ASAP after the beta). If it is still reproducible with 2.65.24, it should be reported upstream. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#470707: Kernel hangs during boot (IA64)
Package: installation-reports Boot method: network Image version: http://people.debian.org/~dannf/d-i/images/daily/netboot/netboot.tar.gz Date: Thu Mar 13 11:17:05 EST 2008 I used the netboot install method for three different machines. For the RX6600 (8-core Montecito) everything worked fine (apart from the relatime bug that everyone knows about, and that you can't specify options to mkfs.xfs to tune it for bigger partitions: I just created a small root partition, and made the other partitions manually after installation was finished) For the RX2200 (two-core McKinley) the kernel hangs halfway through the boot; it appears to have done something dastardly to the console (I'm telnetting in through the management console ethernet adapter). The only way to restore console access for the next boot is to remove the power cable from the wall; resetting the machine and the BMC is not sufficient. The last thing on the console is: - :e0:01.1: ttyS3 at MMIO 0xf405 (irq=51) is a 16550A Couldn't register serial port :e0:01.1: -28 RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice TCP bic registered NET: Reg -- For an i2000 (Merced), running on the VGA console, the initial splash screen looks awful ... it seems to have lots of weird characters that don't display on it.
