Thanks for your follow-ups.

Any chance you could attach the installer's syslog file? It should be
stored under /var/log/installer.

It's 2017 year, and like every year, Debian is a volunteer project. So
if you care about being able to *install* Debian from a *live* image,
feel free to give a hand.

In the meanwhile, there are installation images which allow you to do so,

Are you sure you selected the /dev/sdc entry when you were prompted where
to install grub, and not the default “Enter manually” which comes with an

I cannot remember what I chose. But grub was installed on /dev/sdc 
because grub started on next boot.


The problem was that it was not installed correctly.

What about this?:
Jun 20 18:34:13 main-menu[583]: (process:9773):   Volume group "sdc" not 
found
Jun 20 18:34:13 main-menu[583]: (process:9773):   Cannot process volume 
group sdc


I did the installation 2 times. First with normal mode and the second 
time with graphical mode. Both times I did get the same problem.


Best regards

The current version of subarch-mips-linux.c tries to detect if the CPU
is 32 or 64-bit using the CPU type. It's therefore not prepared for the
"GENERIC QEMU" type returned in /proc/cpuinfo. The code should probably
be modified to use the "isa" field as a fallback if the "cpu model"
field can't be used to determine the flavour.

That said, the quick workaround is to emulate a real CPU in QEMU. For
example you can select the 5KEf CPU which is a MIPS64R2 CPU with FPU.

So I've tracked this to udev in systemd.git calling blkid functions to
get the partition type, and to libblkid/src/partitions/dos.c in
util-linux.git; it doesn't seem to have been called msdos previously,
so I think the proposed change looks good.

This needs to be backported to jessie and stretch AFAICT.

Cc-ing Steve since this involves EFI though, to have another pair of
eyes go over this.

Comments/Problems: Installed in 'expert' mode, as I...

Built Reiser4-enabled Unstable (svn) Debian Installer and Reiser4-patched 
kernel from Sid source
specifically for a Debian native Reiser4 partitioning, formating, and 
installation on my
development environment. Given its bleeding edge changing nature, Debian
simply installed flawlessly its Debian Desktop environment.

Only issue is that upon instantiation, d-i did not recognize my command:
preseed/late_command="in-target apt-get install -y sysvinit-core"

as I don't want *that* systemd thingy-magingy with my Enlightenment subsequent 
build. Thus,
had to give the above command myself after first boot.

I have noticed, since a while back, that the GDM3 behaves buggy, i.e.,
CTRL + Alt + fn to get a virtual terminal usually hangs the system; it
could be as a result of not having systemd(?) -- notwithstanding still seems 
GDM3 behaves laggardly.
I usually replace it with XDM -- which works beautifully to instantiate (and 
customize) Enlightenment.

Please note below that since I build my own SSL-enabled BusyBox UDEB for
d-i so that it can fetch its Reiser4 kernel &/or utilities from
metztli.it, I usually customize its option for an 'OS name' as Xonecuiltzin
(which is appended to uname -a output ;-)

Comments/Problems:
Analyzing the 'various bugfixes and fixed vulnerabilities' in Sid kernel 
4.8.15-1
I realized I had to do a Jessie-backports for Reiser4 (SFRN) 4.0.1 AND test 
neboot
installation in massive KVM Cloud instance of 12-cores / 48 Gig RAM.

"We also encourage installation reports to be sent even if the installation is 
successful,
so that we can get as much information as possible on the largest number of 
hardware configurations"
< https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.html.en#submit-bug >

Smooth installation of Reiser4-enabled kernel 4.8.15-1 & reiser4progs 
built/fetched for Jessie
netboot installer.

Only conflict is with nfs-commmon -- which hangs the newly installed Reiser4 
Linux OS upon boot.
Accordingly this particular Debian netboot installer will purge nfs-common at 
end of installation
so that GNU/Linux Debian Jessie OS boots without issues from its initial ext2 
boot ~150MB partition
into Reiser4 root file system.

https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/Cohuatlicue_UpCloud.png

Notice below - netboot installer UDEB kernel only differs in name 'Cohuatlicue' 
from kernel 4.8.15-1
downloaded via SSL from meztli.it

Comments/Problems:

Smooth Reiser4-enabled Jessie Debian-Installer in non-expert mode.
elvis-tiny has been integrated into this d-i -- since I found nano awful;
I wish I had elvis-tiny available as I was intially working on Reiser4 hack.

SSL-enabled Busybox in d-i automatically downloaded Reiser4-patched Linux 
kernel 4.7.0-1
-- modified for Jessie's GCC 4.9 -- as well as reiser4progs 1.1.0-1.x built for 
Debian Jessie AMD64. 

d-i also fetches linux-base from backports to satisfy recent kernel 
requirements.
Overall flawless installation for a non expert.

4.9.10-2+reiser4.0.1 (2017-02-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Reiser4-enabled netboot debian-installar 
(debian-installer_20150422+deb8u4+b2_amd64.deb), my preliminary release.
Small netboot ISO 'burned' to USB stick and began installation until prompted 
for additional USB media to search for firmware.
Inserted additional USB stick with iwlwifi firmware at /lib/firmware/.
Debian-installer detected wireless network without issues.

During Expert Install, d-i downloaded and installed Jessie-backported 
components via SSL from metztli.it:

linux-jessie-4.9.10-2+reiser4-amd64.deb
jessie-reiser4progs-sfrn-4_0_1.deb
nfs-common_1.3.4-2.1_amd64.deb

libkrb5-3_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb
libkrb5support0_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb

Alternative URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/debian-reiser4/files/

And from Debian offical jessie-backports repository, d-i automatically fetched:
linux-base_4.3~bpo8+1_all.deb

Yielded a smooth subsequent Reiser4-Debian Jessie boot procedure. d-i moves 
*all* my custom files into /var/log/.

After boot, I dmesg[1] showed systemd-udev segmentation faults which manifested 
in latency; notwithstanding, after an
 apt-get -t jessie-backports update/dist-upgrade
and reboot, dmesg showed no more seg faults.

Upon successful Debian Jessie installation, wireless network settings persisted.

Comments/Problems: Netboot debian-installer was unable to load firmware from 
second USB for wifi connection;
accordingly, in another virtual screen, I mounted the 2nd USB and manually 
copied the firmware
directory onto the installer environment /lib. d-i then detected the wifi 
signal, etc.

I selected a non-expert installation & d-i proceeded normally, by downloading 
via SSL from metztli.it
jessie-packport 4.9.16-1+reiser4.0.1 (2017-03-24), reiser4progs 1.1.x, as well 
as bp replacements of:

nfs-common_1.3.4-2.1_amd64.deb 
libgssapi-krb5-2_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb
libk5crypto3_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb
libkrb5-3_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb
libkrb5support0_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb

In this installer I noticed a lot of debugging verbosity (F4), but overall 
installation was successfull.
In this Reiser4 'retrofitted' d-i, a non-expert install will leave the regular 
kernel in addition to
the Reiser4-enabled bp kernel.
< https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/xiuhcohuatl_0.png >

notwithstanding a netstat will show same services available as in a non-reiser4 
install.
Regular kernel may be purged by user -- who, if having selected option 'Debian 
Desktop Environment' will see:
< https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/xiuhcohuatl_01.png >

Again, as in the last installation, dmesg shows segmentation faults as user 
operates her/his new jessie, as shown in snapshot:

< https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/xiuhcohuatl_02.png >

which introduce latency in the operation of the newly installed jessie. These 
issues will go away by doing:

apt-get -t jessie-backports update
apt-get -t jessie-backports dist-upgrade

Except that non-expert install does not provide jessie-backports option or by 
default. The user thus has to add directive:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

(at least) to her/his /etc/apt/sources.list

Finally, unlike user who reported bug 858078 with i915,
< https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858078 >
this system booted normally into a GUI without modification on my part:

Hi Oksana,

It's been a few months already and we didn't hear back from you. We

Why go through a script when you can just set the parameters through tha

Well, I can understand the argument, but the user could very well expect
disks to be in mirror mode as soon as possible, and not wait until a few
days after the installation before the initial sync ends…

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to stick a hardcoded value there,
even if we were to lower the available bandwidth… Too many different
cases, be it about actual hardware, disk sizes, etc.

Hi KiBi,

I did attach all the log files to one of my messages — as a gzipped cpio 
archive.

The log files are at:
   
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=834974;filename=installer-logs.cpio.gz;msg=77

The message itself with the attachment is at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=834974#77

Let me know if you would like me to perform further tests.

Hope that helps!
Rick

There's no syslog in there?

Oooops!

syslog is mode 600, and I wasn’t root when I created the cpio archive.

Here is is

Package: d-i.debian.org
Severity: normal

Part of a debian-installer upload is about including a file computed
by calc-release-status; it's somewhat frustrating to see it fail
because this or that tag wasn't pushed to a repository, meaning a
failed checkout/translation lookup for said package. Then I get to
chase people instead of keeping on preparing the upload.

It would probably be a good idea to integrate that in a crontab to
help detect such issues as soon as possible, and to get a quicker
release step when everything else is ready.

Mraw,

Package: d-i.debian.org
Severity: normal

Comparing fonts in ttf-cjk-compact is a bit hard, so it might be nice to
store bits of the build tree, like characters/glyphs. My memory is a bit
sketchy, but a rebuild should do the job, even if it isn't too practical.

Various ideas:
 - The jenkins instance might be of some help here, if we were to store
   some artifacts for all builds.
 - Shipping the said bits in a dbg package would be an alternative way,
   making it possible to compare everything just with the archive (and
   snapshots etc.).

Mraw,

We moved away from using ttf-cjk-compact, so closing this bug report.

Speeding up l10n/calc-release-status

2017-06-24 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Hi,

It's been an annoyance during all releases: this script processes all
packages in turn, and that takes quite a while. I've tried to make it
run in parallel by defining a function and calling parallel on it, but
it would need a few other functions and variables to be exported as
well, so I've taken an easier route and split the interesting part into
a calc-release-status-helper script, to be called for each and every
package.

Now, calc-release-status will treat packages in a parallel manner, using
as many cores as available, and it now finishes in under 3 minutes on my
d-i development machine, which makes me quite happy. :)

Other consequence: output will no longer be sorted by package name due
to parallelism.


Current errors are:
E: error getting madison info for partman-newworld for 'testing'
E: error getting madison info for partman-zfs for 'testing'
E: error getting madison info for prep-installer for 'testing'
E: error getting madison info for quik-installer for 'testing'
E: error getting madison info for yaboot-installer for 'testing'

partman-zfs is kfreebsd-* only; others are powerpc-specific, which is no
longer a release architecture. Christian, which update would be the best
one to reflect those changes? Add a minus sign after those packages in
packages_list? Or remove them from there entirely?


Note: It's still on my todo list to make it run on dillon regularly,
instead of waiting until release day to possibly notice missing git
pushes (see bug report #762055).

Bug#841842: debian-installer: should use EXT4's native file-system-level encryption

2017-06-24 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Control: tag -1 moreinfo

Hi Marcos,

Marcos Mobley  (2016-10-23):
> it would be nice to be able to use EXT4's native file-system-level

As far as I understand it, this would only protect the contents of a
given directory instead of the whole filesystem, so that doesn't look
like a suitable replacement for LUKS?

If my quick research is correct (you didn't much information in your bug
report), then I think the admin is supposed to be setting this up; and
that's not really a job for the Debian Installer.

But... the buildd variant still explicitly (and not only implicitly through
dependencies of essential:yes packages) installs Priority:required packages,
no?

Can you please attach the installer's syslog, which might have some clue?

You'll find it under the /var/log/installer directory.


Please find attached the file syslog from /var/log/installer.


Thanks!

This looks weird:

Jun 20 18:33:58 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on ''


Are you sure you selected the /dev/sdc entry when you were prompted where
to install grub, and not the default “Enter manually” which comes with an
empty string by default?


I did the installation once again and had got the same problem. I 
downloaded the iso from another location:

http://debian.netcologne.de/debian-cd/9.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.0.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso
I took another USB-stick than before for installation. During 
installation this USB-stick was /dev/sdc and the debian system was 
/dev/sdb .

I selected /dev/sdb for grub install.
When rebooted grub came with this error message:
"error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
 Entering rescue mode...
 grub rescue> "

I solved the problem the same way as before.

Best regards
