Do you also have patches for d-i's kernel-wedge and the main installer
build? Also debian-cd will need changes too. Since the latter two are
mainly due to Xen support I can take care of that if you like, although
I think it will depend on the kernel actually being uploaded since I
can't see an easy way to support both names in the main installer build.

I am not sure this is a special case.  Yes, it makes no sense to 
manually install keyboard-configuration on a headless machine but there 
can be some other reasons that cause keyboard-configuration to be 
automatically installed.

It is not difficult to change the configure script to always ask the 
questions (regardless of whether there is a keyboard or not).  If the 
developers at debian-boot@lists.debian.org think this is desirable I can 
make the required changes.

Dpkg-reconfigure is not meant to handle all possible configurations of a 
package.  In non-standard situations the user always has to configure 
the package manually.  But I believe the solutions I proposed are even 
easier than running dpkg-reconfigure on all machines.  Method 4 allows 
you to use dpkg-reconfigure if you wish -- you can run dpkg-reconfigure 
on any machine with a keyboard and copy its /etc/default/keyboard to all 
machines with no keyboard (this can be one of the computers connected to 
the KVM switch or, if you wish, this can be even your local computer 
with possibly different version of keyboard-configuration).

Yes, it is easy to drop this dependency and if the members of 
debian-boot@lists.d.o suggest, I will make the required changes. I 
suppose there is no way to differentiate between a headless machine and 
a machine that is only temporarily without a keyboard. Thats why it 
seems undesirable to ask keyboard questions on computers with no 
keyboard.

Isn't it easier to scp /etc/default/keyboard that to run 
dpkg-reconfigure on each machine and answer many times the same 
questions?

Bug#624449: installation-reports: netinst amd64-i386 iso does install i386 instead of amd64

2011-04-28 Thread Sebastian Bremicker
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i


I put the ISO on an USB stick using unetbootin. After running a flawless
installation routine I had to discover that I got i386 instead of amd64
although the image should have been able to install both flavours.

Comments/Problems:

The installation process went very flawlessly.

My problem is that the CPU, which by all means is 64-bit capable is not
detected for installation of amd64. Maybe it isn't d-i's fault and I have
to switch something in the BIOS, but until then I see it as a bug in d-i ;).

Kind regards

Sebastian

So it seems the default keyboard configuration is correct but some 
program is overwriting it.  What desktop environment are you using - 
gnome, kde, etc?  What display manager - gdm, kdm, etc?  Please send us 
the output of the following command (run in a terminal emulator):

setxkbmap -print

Had you chosen "64 bit install" in the boot menu?

Bug#624466: installation-report: ineffective input devices and network interface

2011-04-28 Thread Kenneth W Foy Jr
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.44
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable

I chose Xfce, and when the GDM login appear, neither my keyboard nor my mouse
would have any affect. I couldn't type my username or switch to a console, and
I couldn't move the pointer with the mouse. I couldn't login with SSH because
the network interface, eth0, was down because it starts in the down state.
Some other error messages I've noticed are as follows:
1. Cannot create directory '/run/udev/rules.d/': Read-only file system
2. modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha
(/lib/modules/2.6.38-2-686/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock_sha.ko): No

2b. (personal note) Encrypted partitions reportedly mount fine.
3. Starting rpcbind daemon...rpcbind: Cannot open '/var/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr'

3b. rpcbind: Cannot open '/var/run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr' file for reading,

The mouse, keyboard, and network interface all worked fine during the graphical
installation, so I'm not sure what went wrong or what I did to mess up. The
installation was almost identical to the flawless one I did on my Dell
Inspiron 6000 which I just submitted.

Bug#624481: debian-installer: kfreebsd-i386 unstable d-i cannot fetch partman-zfs

2011-04-28 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

I pulled the kfreebsd-i386 installer from here:

http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/daily/netboot/debian-installer/kfreebsd-i386/

and i launched it in expert mode.

I looked for the partman-zfs udeb in the list of "download installer
components" but i couldn't find it.

I also tried (from the terminal):

 anna-install partman-zfs

but that failed with the usual warning about package not found (sorry,
i don't have the exact error message handy).

however, i was able to fetch the package from the web with wget,
unpack it with ar, and install it with tar, which ultimately enabled
zfs support in partman.

I'm not sure why it wasn't listed as available.

2011-04-28 Thread Cyril Brulebois

> I'm not sure why it wasn't listed as available.

Probably because it used to be kfreebsd-amd64-only:
  http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/partman-zfs/news/20110213T212457Z.html

Might be missing an updated on the d-i side; you could check the
debian-boot@ archives if you want to know why/when/how it got
disabled.

apparently no. I'm sorry, I did not know that it was a bootmenu choice,
I presumed some d-i magic would detect my architecture. unetbootin
modifies the boot menu and I seem to have fallen for this in spite of
being a longstanding debian user and a memory of having read about this
fact somwere in the wiki or installer faq before. ;)

Thank you for the quick reply. I resolved the situation for me today by
using the 180-MB amd64-iso. This bug is bogus.

Kind regards

Sebastian

The installation process went very flawlessly.

My problem is that the CPU, which by all means is 64-bit capable is not
detected for installation of amd64. Maybe it isn't d-i's fault and I have
to switch something in the BIOS, but until then I see it as a bug in d-i ;).

lower debconf priority and install additional package via a postinst script

2011-04-28 Thread Nikos Voutsinas
Hello,

I am trying to install some additional packages via a custom .udeb
that run just before finish-install step of the debian installer
(which runs with priority critical).  What seems to be tricky is how
to lower the debconf priority for these *specific* packages and get
prompted for questions of these  packages that have lower than
critical priority.

The following lines from the udeb postinst script doesn't work.

. /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
set -e
db_set debconf/priority medium || true
/bin/apt-install ssmtp

I suspect that this is a file descriptor problem, because when I try
the following command lines from another VT it works as expected
debconf-set   debconf/priority medium
/bin/apt-install ssmtp

Any ideas?

Nikos

No, I'm not familiar with those.  I did the kernel installation
selection myself because I've worked on it before.

So it depends on when the d-i team decides to switch to 2.6.39 (or
later).  But you can get your patches ready before then.

Sorry, but I doubt that it is the job of postinst to work around
broken foreign package dependencies or other "installation accidents".
IMHO we have to assume that this package has been installed on purpose.

AFAICS keyboard-configuration is required only by some console-setup*
packages and xserver-xorg-core. That seems OK to me. Do you think
that the information configured by postinst could become necessary to
run a server without local keyboard, e.g. a XDMCP server providing
remote Xwindow login sessions to thin clients?


Another idea: Maybe the postinst script could print a message saying
"Keyboard configuration skipped, since there is no local keyboard
attached"?

Side comment, but D-I does, by default, run with priority high, not
critical.

I din't really see any of these are harmful.

The problem apparently lies in X.org input drivers. Hence reassigning
(hopefully to the right package, but I guess the X folks will cope
with that...they're CC'ed: for once, I remembered they ask for this
when reassigning).

It could be good to provide the X.org log file. Probably by booting in
single user mode and then go to /var/log and get Xorg.0.log from
there.

Re: lower debconf priority and install additional package via a postinst script

In our case, the installation procedure  is mostly driven by a
preseed.cfg and I had to change the default d-i priority to critical.
The critical priority of d-i proved to be a good choice because of the
sane defaults and because it allowed us to keep the preseed.cfg quite
simple.

However for only 2 or 3 extra packages I need to lower priority to
medium and since I haven't found a way to achieve this from within
preseed.cfg (Is there a way?), I created an extra .udeb that runs at
the last stage, hoping that this would help. Unfortunately the results
were not  what I expected.

No, it looks like udev b0rkage.
