Known bugs

This is a list of known bugs in the Etch-based DebianEdu, and please provide links to the bugs in the Debian BTS or the DebianEdu [http://bugs.skolelinux.org/ Bugzilla].

Fatal (can't make test CD with these)

Important (need to fix before release)

Annoying (should fix if we have time)

  • Source CD should include source for only the binary packages included -> set SOURCE=1. then e need to check if all the source packages from the binary packages on our CD are on that CD... [http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=1149 #1149]

things we need to upgrade in the newdriftbook

  • etch in general (?NeedsBugId)

  • the webmin replacement (?NeedsBugId)

  • [http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2006/12/msg00110.html sound on ltsp-thinclients] - isnt that automatic / (?NeedsBugId)

  • [:DebianEdu/HowTo/LocalDeviceLtspfs: local device support with ltsp (ltspfs)] (?NeedsBugId)

  • add a short chapter how to use backports.org (i just read a mail from someone who upgraded to etch because sarge doesnt have openoffice.org2) (?NeedsBugId)

  • barebone profile? (whats that?) via expert mode ("Again if you want to install with the debian-edu-expert mode type the following line at the boot prompt and press enter: "linux debian-edu-expert" (?NeedsBugId)

  • manual partitioning via expert mode (?NeedsBugId)

  • Setting the nagiosadmin password.
  • Perhaps hint towards /usr/share/doc/slapd/README.DB_CONFIG.gz

new features since Sarge release

  • graphical installer
  • boot splash with usplash
  • webmin removed, replaced with <foo>

  • amd64 and powerpc support

Fixed

  • The etch-dvd build is not using our local repository for udebs. The localization-config-udeb package is missing on that DVD.
  • usplash terminates tool early during boot, when the inti.d/console-screen.sh screen update the console font. A fixed version is in the etch-test respository.([http://bugs.debian.org/423025 #423025])

  • wrong keyboard layout on tjener, [http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=1131 #1131]

  • Wrong keyboard layout in LTSP. Fixed (in debian-edu etch-test) by patching ltsp-client-builder with fix from bts bug [http://bugs.debian.org/421762 #421762].

  • etch-cd from 2006-11-16 partitioning doesnt work, loops forever, etch-test works.
  • Access to local devices for the console user (audio, floppy, etc)
  • CD image do not install because of kernel version skew between the kernel and the module udebs on the CD.
  • Fail to install on a HD where lvm have been used previously, this is fixed in D-I daily builds from sid (Verified 16/10-2006 -Ronny). Migrated to etch 20/10-2006
  • LTSP artwork -> added to ltsp preseed, ldm artwork ok.

  • Broken LTSP boot, first client attempth fail to boot, after server is restarted - fixed in initramfs-tools 0.82.
  • Wrong keyboard layout in some countries. [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319859 #319859]

  • usplash in ltsp booting clients.
  • slapd fail to start because /var/run/slapd is missing. It need to be owned by openldap:openldap.
  • Unstable CD build, no longer build broken CD when unable to reach the apt sources.
  • Installer fail if running in GUI mode [http://bugs.debian.org/282147 #282147]

  • LDAP NSS is broken [http://bugs.debian.org/375077 #375077] We have a workaround in the current cd's.

  • Package manager (adept) for KDE is missing in etch [http://bugs.debian.org/388023 #388023]

  • Graphical Installer fails to work while installing with nogui works as expected
  • standalone install is not localised. i.e., I selected german and KDE is still english [http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=1127 #1127]

  • USB hotplug no longer work after KDE switched from pmount to hal. [http://bugs.debian.org/377689 bug #377689] see also [http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/10/msg00752.html pam_group info]. This might be fixed 2007-05-05, but someone with a real test machien need to test and verify it.

  • Adding windows machines to samba is broken [http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=1177 #1177]

  • Adept_notifier runs on all users kde on the thinclients. [http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=1151 #1151]
