Issues we need to fix

  • PXE installer ask for mirror to use even when the default choices work just fine. The preseeding do not seem to work.
  • Installer hangs at the end after accepting the finish-install message when installing in a virtual kvm machine on Lenny.
  • Several error messages are reported from update-alternatives in the installation log. This leads to bogus error reports from the self testing.
  • Default partition sizes are too small for workstation+thin-client-server installation (/opt, /var/ and /usr/ are too full).
  • KDM do not understand the kdm artwork provided by debian-edu-artwork and refuses to start.
  • KDM configuration file have moved from /etc/kde3/ to /etc/kde4/, and the settings we want are no longer applied.
  • libnss-ldapd have been split in two, and our preseeding need to preseed the nslcd package instead. Probably want to replace libpam-ldap with libpam-ldapd as well.
  • We need to use the new pam-config stuff instead of replacing the files in /etc/pam.d/.
  • KDE report about old kde3 configuration that need to be converted to kde4 configuration on first time login. First time users should not get such bogus message.
  • Celestia is missing norwegian translation of the GUI and demo.
  • Is automount support missing? The autofs-ldap package is not installed, at least.
  • The multimedia plugin for Iceweasel is no longer installed, making all non-flash based video and audio fail to work.
