Bug#666393: Debian Testing Install Successful

Bug#666399: s390-dasd fails to work with >20 devices visible (mostly in LPAR mode)

[Philipp Kern]

Package: s390-dasd
Version: 0.0.27
Severity: important

s390-dasd has the following code snippet in dasd-config.c:

| static enum state_wanted get_channel (void)
| {
| if (di_tree_size (channels) > 20)
| return get_channel_input ();
| else if (di_tree_size (channels) > 0)
| return get_channel_select ();
| return WANT_ERROR;
| }

I'm not sure about the rationale for this.  When removing the check, the
program segfaults upon hitting "Finish", despite listing the devices
correctly and allowing to configure them.  Sadly strace didn't help at all
and gdb was unable to generate traces.

If you've got a lot of devices visible, because you're in LPAR mode, you
cannot configure the disks because the state machine goes GET_CHANNEL ->
ENABLE -> FORMAT -> WRITE -> GET_CHANNEL and there's no way to exit the
GET_CHANNEL input field with a finished state.  So you're caught in an
endless loop instead.  An alternative to just showing the select widget all
the time would be to fix the state machine so that it's possible to exit with
sucess from the channel input when at least one device was brought online (or
is in configured).

Kind regards
Philipp Kern

Bug#666424: task-lxde-desktop: please include a webbrowser

[Holger Wansing]

Package: task-lxde-desktop
Severity: wishlist


I have just did a test installation of debian wheezy/testing.
During installation, I didn't choose any x packages to be installed.
After installation, I installed the package xdm for a graphical
login manager and then the lxde meta package.
Everything works fine so far, lxde desktop environment seems really
cool to me, but there is no webbrowser installed by default.
Maybe you want to include one?
There is a "Webbrowser" button in the lxde panel, but it has
no function.
If you want to save space and keep the lxde environment small,
you could include the dillo webbrowser as a minimalistic solution:
I installed it (xdm and lxde packages were already installed, as
wrote above) and only the package libflkt1.3 was additionally
added by dependancy.
Installing dillo (plus the libflkt1.3), resulted in the additional 
use of 2688 kByte on harddisk here (according to apt-get output).


So long
Holger

debconf not recognizing template pattern from custom udeb

[Ryan Braun [ADS]]

I'm trying to setup and run the scripted partitioning udeb I found on the list 
a while back (http://hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/scripted-partitioning/).

I've got the vast majority of it all working,  just for some reason whatever 
pattern I preseed,  debconf always reports the pattern as NULL.  Which throws 
a pretty big wrench in the whole process.  If I hardcode the script into the 
udeb,  it will partition the system as it should,  I just can't get the 
debconf hooks to work properly.

I've never worked with debconf and it's templates,  so it is more then likely 
an implementation issue.

Here is the templates control file from the udeb.

Template: debian-installer/scripted-partitioning/title
Type: text
Description: Partition automatically via a shell script

Template: scripted-partitioning/script
Type: text
Description: What script do you want to run to partition your disk?
 The filename must be relative to /lib/scripted-partitioning, and must
 already exist and be executable.


From the docs,  I should be able to preseed a pattern for whichever script I 
would like to run to handle the partitioning (no I'm no longer interested in 
using partman for preseeding,  this is WAY easier once I figure this hooks 
issue out)

In my preseed file,  I have the following 2 lines to enable the udeb and set 
the pattern (the udeb is included in a custom repo on a remastered iso)

d-i preseed/early_command string anna-install cdebconf-udeb parted-udeb 
xfsprogs-udeb hw-detect md-modules mdadm-udeb lvm2-udeb dmsetup-udeb 
ntfstools-udeb xfs-modules ext2-modules ext3-modules; udpkg --unpack 
/cdrom/ads/repo/sp.udeb

scripted-partitioning/script text z400

I can see the early_command works fine,  the udeb does get unpacked.  The main 
issue is that debconf will never recognize the pattern scripted-
partitioning/script and always reports both patterns from the template file as 
NULL.  Here is the result from debconf-dumpdb configdb|grep scripted

debian-installer/scripted-partitioning/title text (null)
scripted-partitioning/script text (null)

Is there something off in the templates perhaps somehow?

Package: partman-auto-lvm
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i squeeze

With grub2 being installed by default in squeeze, it should be possible 
to instruct partman to create all partitions as LVM logical volumes, 
however an error is generated in this configuration.


Working preseed configuration:

d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string\
  boot-root ::
\

  128 50 128 ext3\
  method{ format } format{ }\
  use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }\
  mountpoint{ /boot }  \
  
.  \

  1024 1 10240 ext3 \
  $lvmok{ } lv_name{ root }\
  method{ format } format{ } \
  use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
  mountpoint{ / 
}  \
  
.   \

  1024 512 1024 linux-swap  \
  $lvmok{ } lv_name{ swap }   \
  method{ swap } format{ } \
  .
The above produces /dev/sda1 as /boot and /dev/sda5 as an LVM VG with 
root and swap LVs.


Attempted configuration:

d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
  boot-root 
:: \

  128 50 128 ext3 \
  $lvmok{ } lv_name{ boot }   \
  method{ format } format{ } \
  use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
  mountpoint{ /boot }   \
  
.   \

  1024 1 10240 ext3  \
  $lvmok{ } lv_name{ root } \
  method{ format } format{ }  \
  use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }  \
  mountpoint{ / 
}   \
  
.\

  1024 512 1024 linux-swap   \
  $lvmok{ } lv_name{ swap }\
  method{ swap } format{ } \
  .

The above produces a red screen during install:

"Failed to partition the selected disk"

"This happened because the selected recipe does not contain any partition
that can be created on LVM volumes"

Yes, I tried to fix the mirror but I don't unterstand the awk script
included in apt-move. See bug [1]. Maybe someone of the Debian Installer
Team can help and fix the awk script?

Related to bug [1], I got a reply there asking if the md5sums are still
neded somewhere in the debian mirror. On the official Debian Mirror I can
still see MD5sum. Can someone of the Debian Installer Team reply to the
post on bug [1] please?
