Status for Debian Edu based on Squeeze

Debian-installer boot kernel and initrd can currently (2010-01-25) be fetched from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/ .

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.
  • When installing using norwegian langauge, a question about which (nb/nn) wordlist to use is asked. This should be preseeded.
  • hwdetect warn that the file /etc/modprobe.d/debian-edu-install need to end with .conf to be read in the future. This should be fixed.
  • The htpasswd call from cfengine to set a random Nagios password do not work. htpasswd show usage info instead of setting the password.
  • Installer hangs at the end after accepting the finish-install message when installing in a virtual kvm machine on Lenny.
  • The grub background image is not activated any more.
  • 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).
  • Something is wrong with the generation and/or with the distribution of the LDAP SSL certificate. LDAP connections using TLS do not work.
  • Samba fail to start on a main-server.
  • The munin cron job complain with email to root about /var/www/munin/ not being available.
  • NFS exports do not seem to work when installing main-server+thin-client-server.
  • 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. Perhaps it changed name to autofs5-ldap?
  • The multimedia plugin for Iceweasel is no longer installed, making all non-flash based video and audio fail to work.
  • Some init.d scripts are not using the output functions in /lib/lsb/init-functions, causing inconsistent output during boot (and no message displayed when running usplash in non-quiet mode): openldap, autofs, xfs
