Bug#854989: debian-installer: Two times "Show Password in Clear"
Package: debian-installer Severity: minor Tags: d-i I test Debian 9 with debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso. During "Set up users and passwords" i can set "Root password:" and "Re-enter password to verify:". Under each of these inputs there is a check box with "Show Password in Clear". I don't se why it would be neccesary to have two check boxes with "Show Password in Clear". Why not just one? In what senario would you want to only see one of the passwords in clear and hide the other one? Also when you type the first password and hit TAB the focus goes to the first "Show Password in Clear". It would be better jo one have one "Show Password in Clear" and have it below "Re-enter password to verify:". That way when you press TAB after typing the password the first time the focus will go to the second input. Also the same for the screen where you create a new user that is not root. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=da_DK.utf8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
Bug#825916: installation-reports: Installing Debian with AMD/ATI Radeon graphics card does not go well
Package: installation-reports Severity: important When i install Debian on computer with AMD/ATI Radeon graphics card it does no go well. After installation there is problem booting into the graphical desktop (GNOME) because it needs firmware-linux-nonfree and other packages to it seems. This is a big problem for a new user that wants to try Debian for the first time and have no idea why the system cant start the graphical desktop and what commands to type. I would at least expect to be able to start the desktop into some low resolution mode like in Windows where you can get into the desktop even though you dont have the correct driver. Then maybe the user is able to find information on the web/IRC to fix the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=da_DK.utf8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

Then maybe the user is able to find information on the web/IRC to fix the problem. It might be helpful to specify which model of graphics card you have. I think most cards do work in some basic mode without firmware. Some are a bit weird and the driver in X doesn't really know ahead of time which ones that is. I guess it could have better fallback handling in X if the card fails with the first driver chosen. It's ATI mobility radeon HD 5650 graphics 1 GB.
Bug#868187: debian-installer: Wrong keyboard layout (en) selected i GNOME
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I select danish keyboard layout and select to install GNOME during Debian 9 installation. But after the system boots and i log in to GNOME it says "en" in the toppanel. I can click the "en" to switch to "da". I would like "da" to be selected as default when that is what i choose during installation and i dont know "en" to be there. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=da_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=da_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
