Re: Release RC1 NOW (was: Bug#503040: debian-installer: Build firmware for the DNS-323)
Quoting Frans Pop ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > For $deity's sake. Can we please STOP POSTPONING the RC1 release? I would tell it otherwise but I entirely share Frans' feelings. It's very hard to point fingers and appearing rude but seeing that D-I RC1 is still and still postponed is really disappointing (even more in my case where I urge translators, we stopped l10n updates...and nothing happened except the mass upload). We will always find bugs in the installer. Given the low manpower we had during this release cycle, it could even be more buggued than Etch installerbut we need to release. We're not far from the point where D-I will be the major blocker for the release of Lenny. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#433568: Second that request
Hi, I would really love to see vlan support in DI. I just had a box with vlans connected already and wanted to install debian with latest lenny installer but couldn't because of the lack of vlan support. I'd prefer to have proper deb-conf vlan support, if possible. Shouldn't be too hard. Probably you only need to say which interface and which vlan, add this interface and then start the network dlg.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith. (NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what this message is talking about, this may indicate a serious mail system misconfiguration somewhere. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] immediately.) -- 502850: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=502850 Debian Bug Tracking System Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] with problems --- Begin Message --- Package: debian-installer Version: D-I daily build October 19, 2008 Severity: normal Hi all, With some (correct) preseed files, Debian Installer fails at the "Download debconf preconfiguration file" step, with the message: "Failed to process the preconfiguration file The installer failed to process the preconfiguration file from http://x.x.x.x/d-i/preseed/xx.di. The file may be corrupt." debconf-set-selections -c xx.di does not give any output, so that seems alright. I can work around this problem by adding a couple of extra packages to pkgsel/include in the preseed file. Suddenly the preseed file doesn't break Debian Installer! That proves even more that the original preseed file was okay. The diff is, of course, not more than the extra package definitions. Tested with VMware Server, real hardware and architecture amd64. And now the most interesting observation: using the same preseed file, the one that breaks, for i386... no error message anymore! So this problem seems to be architecture-dependent. I have had this problem for a couple of months, since at least Lenny beta 2. With the latest daily build (October 19), this is still the case, so I thought to share my experiences. The problem is easily reproducible with a specially crafted preseed file. Creating such a file is not easy, so I'll provide you one (bad.di). I also added one with the above described work-around (good.di). bad.di : http://krnl.nl/bad.di good.di : http://krnl.nl/good.di The diff is: $ diff bad.di good.di 160a161 > mysql-client \ If you try to install these preseed files on amd64, bad.di will break D-I at the "Download debconf preconfiguration file" step and good.di will probably break later when it tries to retrieve archive information, because the network configuration won't work in all environments. For i386, D-I will break on retrieving archive information for both bad.di and good.di. Posting this bug in debian-installer, because I'm not sure which specific package this should go.

Correct. Each language has its own default locale defined in a table. > See my comment above in this post about adding a note to the D-I > manual. Would be nice that users get a bit more details. The manual specified that locale could be used to set both language and country, without mentioning restrictions.

In lenny beta 2, these lines were sufficient to set the timezone to Europe/Amsterdam while having the locale set to en_US: d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US d-i time/zone string Europe/Amsterdam Unlike the latest D-I manual states, this doesn't work in the latest daily builds anymore. The timezone will be forced to US/Eastern. To figure this out, I ran a manual (expert) installation and noticed that the timezone choices are based on the locale settings. I tried to add: d-i localechooser/shortlist select other d-i localechooser/continentlist select Europe d-i localechooser/countrylist/Europe select NL but it didn't work. During a manual (expert) install it's perfectly possible to choose English with country Netherlands, so that it is possible to choose Europe/Amsterdam as timezone. In a discussion on the debian-boot mailinglist, Christian Perrier proposed[1] to try changing the locale from "en_US" to "en_NL". This actually works! Unlike you would expect, but desired however, the locale on the target system will be en_US.UTF-8. So, if this is the way we should preseed the timezone from now on, the D-I manual must be changed to reflect this.

Bug#502850: debian-installer: D-I fails to process some correct (!) preseed files
On Tuesday 21 October 2008, Frans Pop wrote: > What we're now going to need is a simplified, reproducible testcase; > probably just a simple script that sets a variable to a "bad" value > and then executes the test above. I've given this a try, and was able to reproduce it in a somewhat simplified test in qemu-system-x64, but only with your "bad" preseed file, not using a simpler test case. I can also reproduce the very weird way the problem disappears if a change is made later in the file. I've also found one possibly relevant factor that makes a difference. If /usr/share/debconf/confmodule is *not* sourced, the error goes away. But OTOH I've also seen other changes in the *script* (even ones that should not make any functional difference) make the error go away... However, I do not see any real pattern in the issue. And the above variables are going to make it almost impossible to reproduce it outside the D-I environment. And as there are multiple possible culprits and tracing this further is going to require really serious debugging skills, I don't really see anybody following up on this, so I think the best thing here is to just be happy that it's fixed for Lenny.
