Report from the first tests of d-i beta 1 candidate images
Hi -boot/-cd, Steve prepared candidate images for d-i beta 1, which I've started testing in virtual machines. Unfortunately the default desktop install (gnome) seems badly broken. So far, I didn't even manage to get a gdm3 prompt: #681830, #681837, #681855. http://bugs.debian.org/681830 http://bugs.debian.org/681837 http://bugs.debian.org/681855 So I'll delay d-i beta 1 until those bugs are fixed. That should buy us some time to try kde/xfce/lxde/server installations, and possibly report some more bugs. Given the images are going to be re-built at some point, I think the pointer to the (known broken) images will be kept somewhere in #debian-boot's topic, to avoid confusion with later builds. I'm not sure whether we want to use this delay to possibly merge a new busybox with the s390x fix prepared by Aurélien Jarno. http://bugs.debian.org/681760 Given the m-i-t fun lately, I think I'd rather avoid uploading a new d-i at this point, and just get new images built once the gnome bugs are fixed.

Christian, maybe you could call for fixing the translations of the installation manual, so we can upload it to get it onto the beta1 images?

Bug#678066: debian-cd: Boot prompt for powerpc does not make install64 sufficiently prominent
unarchive 614583 reopen 614583 severity 678066 normal forcemerge 678066 614583 thanks I've tested the proposed patch on a wide range of powerpc machines, it works without issues. It will certainly remove confusion users face when booting on 64-bit powerpc machines (see #614583). Thus reopening 614583 and merging the bugs together.

I think I saw that when I rolled my own images before Steve built them officially. I was too sure I didn't screw up things. Might be #676302. The call is probably wrapped through chroot, which explains why it mentions /var/lib/apt… even if it really worked with files under /target, hence the EEXIST.

Being currently travelling post-Debconf, such things are not that easy for me (this mail is currently written from an eco-ledge lost somewhere in forests of the Norther mountains, through a 3G connectionwhich is quite amazing to have in such distant place). Moreover, tracking of who is translating the D-I manual is quite loose ATM and I can't even use podebconf-report-po on a bunch of PO files given that most D-I manual translators *don't* use gettext (and some don't want to). So, in short, it's hard to send a real call for updates except by posting a mail to debian-i18n which (I know how these things work) will immediately trigger a bunch of questions, half of them being sent in private to me, such as "I would like to translate it to 'foo', how should I proceed"and, on this, I don't really want to spend the few time I still spend during these two weeks for geeky stuff. So, well, absolutely *no* promise made. If I can do something, I'll do it. Otherwise, anybody else is welcome to do it. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
