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 Bugzilla.
bugs.skolelinux.org lists all (filed) bugs in our distribution
the bugs with priotity 1 and 2 we will fix before we release debian-edu etch
some of them still need confirmation - you can help here easily: - confirm that the bug is still in etch-test and then remove the word "confirm" from the bug-title - or if the bug is gone, close it
some of them are documentation related
- 11 bugs are mentioned on this page and need a Bug ID...
Fatal (can't make test CD with these)
Important (need to fix before release)
- Spell checker configuration is needed (KDE to use myspell?)
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... #1149
make our LDAP FEIDE compliant #537
Annoying Artsmessages box about permision denied on /dev/dsv for each user that login. (on the thin clients? it works nicely in the standalone install) #1152
Empty resolv.conf in ltsp chroot after installation #1073
ltsp-make-client for diskless worstations breaks dhcpd.conf, see #1060
- Artwork should be generally improved
CD is not signed -> setting SECURED=1 in CONF-$flavor.sh was not enough (?NeedsBugId)
Setting up networking and Configuring network interfaces fail in the booting of ltsp clients, looks ugly. (?NeedsBugId)
Expand on the nagios v2 configuration. (?NeedsBugId)
warning about problems configuring cups via debconf from debian-edu-config at the kdm-login screen after a standalone install (?NeedsBugId)
setting up a printer on a thinclient does not work on terra #1174
Samba configuration needs enhancement: #1064 samba configuration needs to be corrected for domain logons
Reminder for putting some lines into the documentation: #941 Needed place for serving global data to clients
Reminder for correcting the script: #1213 slbackup fails to start slapd after dumping ldap during nightly backup
things we need to document in the new etch release manual
h01ger suggest to just drop these two things. Sound should be working fine and that other hint is way to broad. - Objections? Otherwise I'll do so...
sound on ltsp-thinclients - isnt that automatic / (?NeedsBugId)
- Perhaps hint towards /usr/share/doc/slapd/README.DB_CONFIG.gz
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 init.d/console-screen.sh screen update the console font. A fixed version is in the etch-test respository.(423025)
wrong keyboard layout on tjener, #1131
Wrong keyboard layout in LTSP. Fixed (in debian-edu etch-test) by patching ltsp-client-builder with fix from bts bug 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. 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 282147
LDAP NSS is broken 375077 We have a workaround in the current cd's.
Package manager (adept) for KDE is missing in etch 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 #1127
USB hotplug no longer work after KDE switched from pmount to hal. 377689 see also 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 #1177
Adept_notifier runs on all users kde on the thinclients. #1151
firefox localisation problem, see #1045
Please fill in with more info and links to the BTS's in the list above.
