Re: "The future of the D-I team" meeting: March 16th 21:00 UTC
Quoting Christian Perrier (bubu...@debian.org): Second proposal (to be sent this evening if I have enough time for that). Thanks to Holger for the improvement suggestions. The Debian Installer team is proud for the release of the final version of D-I, thus allowing lenny to be released later on. Still, we are aware that D-I was one of the main blockers for the lenny release and we feel the need to "revive the hype" and motivate more developers to contribute to D-I development. We are also aware to be facing challenges in release management which we have to solve in order to reach a point where we can continue developing that major piece of Debian. For this, and mostly in order to prepare ourselves to the challenges of squeeze development, we decided about a team meeting on March 16th 21:00 UTC. That meeting will happen on thea #debian-boot IRC channel. A (scarce) meeting agenda is available on http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Meetings/Coordination. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
base-installer r53756 vs. console-setup
Hi, I just rather belatedly noticed that r53756 breaks console-setup (or at least will once we switch to it and console-setup is installed by debootstrap). r53756 | joeyh | 2008-06-19 23:51:57 +0100 (Thu, 19 Jun 2008) | 10 lines redefine base-install.d hooks live-installer needs these hooks to run after the live system is copied in. base-installer can get by with running them after deboostrap, and the existing hooks will work ok if the system is already there. So, redefine the base-install.d hooks to run after the base system is extacted, but before the installed system is used in any way (such as using apt to install additional stuff). console-setup-udeb has a base-installer.d hook that copies its configuration into /target/etc/default/console-setup. If this isn't in place when console-setup is configured in /target, then console-setup will change the keyboard layout on the running system. Therefore the configuration needs to be in place in advance. A base-installer.d hook was the perfect place to do this; now that that facility has been removed, the closest available approximation is a partman finish.d hook, which is really not particularly correct. Note that the live-installer hook ordering would not have been a problem here, as that just copies the files over rather than unpacking and configuring the package. As far as I can see, from base-installer's point of view, this was just for consistency with live-installer rather than to fix a particular bug. Could we put it back the way it was, please? We could define base-installer.d hooks as "before any package is installed with dpkg", so it can be before bootstrap in a traditional install or after bulk filesystem copying but before anything else in a live install.

Bug#519079: installation-report: please provide an option to skip the attempt to set the system clock via NTP
Package: installation-reports Version: 2.38 Severity: minor *** Please type your report below this line *** Dear d-i team, last weekend I installed Debian Lenny and it worked like a charm (yay!). Please note that I decided to use the d-i images provided by Kenshi Muto in order to get my network card to work during installation (see #512546). Afaict only the kernel package has been replaced on his installation media. However, there was one thing during installation that I found annoying: My computer is behind a firewall that even blocks NTP requests, so there is no chance to set the clock over the network. I know this, so I wasn't too excited when d-i's first attempt to set the clock apparently failed. It also did not upset me, when it failed a second and a third time, but I really became impatient when it tried a forth time and I really hesitated to click on the "Cancel" button for a second. Fortunately it gave up after the fifth try. Now my request is, please add a "Skip" button for people who know that setting the clock over the net won't work and who deliberately want to skip this step. It isn't a crucial step for installation anyway. At least, if you don't find another button an appropriate solution, please report to the user how many attempts you are still going to try before d-i skips this step itself. Something like "Attempt number 3 of 5." below the progress bar would have actually appeased me. The way it is now, some users might get the impression that the installation actually hangs and feel tempted to abort it after the second or third try failed without a feedback. Thank you very much!

See the Packages file in main/debian-installer. Note that the etchnhalf images, which are the only ones that use 2.6.26, are *not* etch D-I images! They are Lenny D-I images. See http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/etchnhalf: For new installations of etch-and-a-half the current release of Debian Installer for lenny is used, with minor changes for compatibility with etch. See also the /etc/lsb-release file of an etchnhalf image. The Etch installer is not guaranteed to work correctly with a .26 kernel!

Try this - it avoids executing devio twice:
sysconf=$(devio "<<$1" '!?b.$4->' cp)
You should get an empty $sysconf (and the whole command will fail with exit
code 1) when it is uninitialized and a correct copy with a "\n" appended for
safety if it is ok.
devio doesn't check the whole length before it reads - it just reads in
blocks - so what is happening at present is that your 'sysconf' variable
ends up 130048 characters long, full of 0xff bytes. If you make the above
change it quietly rejects any SysConf where the byte count is more than
131068. You might have one somewhere if somehow someone zapped the first
four bytes on an otherwise ok SysConf, but it's probably the right thing to
reject it if that happened.

That seems to work for me.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the case.
One other mystery is that devio is outputting that particular error.
0x is going to cause an arithmetic overflow in my version of devio,
because it calculates +number, which will end up being '3'.
This is a bug in devio - mtd_readbytes should compare the number of bytes
(unsigned) against size_mtd(pfile)-pfile->useroffset (a calculation
guaranteed not to overflow, given that useroffset will always be <=
size_mtd.)
That bug would hide the error in the handling of an uninitialized version of
SysConf. The bug would not happen if your OS has a 64 bit file system (if
at least one of off_t and size_t is 64 bits). (devio arithmetic is all
unsigned.)
I'm looking at line 65 of /etc/init.0/sysconfsetup, if you're still using
that, and it says (on my very old Slug):
devio "<<$sysdev" cpb fb1,10 | {horrible sed command}
I think that all it needs to do is check the length first:
devio "<<$sysdev" '!? b$4->' && devio "<<$sysdev" cpb fb1,10 |
{horrible sed command}
I.e. check the length to ensure it is not greater than the device length-4.

Bug#519194: Squeeze(Sid) installer no disk drive was detected
Package:debian-installer Version: (20090123) Trying to install Squeeze using netinst or businesscard image and both say, during the install right after time configuration, no hard disk was detected.

Bug#519196: installation-reports: No easy way to install without swap partition
Package: installation-reports Severity: wishlist Hi, I recently installed Lenny. I wanted to install without swap partition, but didn't find an easy way to do so. The only way appears to be to manually do the partition setup. I'd prefer a way to delete the swap partition in guided partitioning (already possible) and then increase the size of the other partition /. -- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: Lenny Date: Machine: x86 Partitions: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [ ] Detect network card:[ ] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup:[ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Overall install:[ ] Comments/Problems: -- Please make sure that the hardware-summary log file, and any other installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report.

Bug#501804: installation-reports: I guess is because libselinux.so.1 is missing
Package: installation-reports Followup-For: Bug #501804 This report is written from a different machine.

After detecting network and configuring it said that no hard drive can be located. After some investigation in the console I found that the kernel driver was loaded and that I was abble to mount the partitions. But when I ran parted_devices I got a ldd error indicating that libselinux.so.1 was not found. So I downloaded the stable (Lenny) installer and it worked fine. For some reason the libselinux.so.1 library is missing so the partition tools don't work and the installer reports that it can't detect the hard drive, but the hard drive is working fine. -- Jaime Alberto Silva Gerente SG Automatización Ltda.
