Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.38
Severity: wishlist

After installation I had a reproducible kerneloops in the radeon kernel module.  Near the oops-report in kern.log I find an error log about unloadable firmware.  As I knew that Debian excludes non-free firmware I searched the web for the package name, i.e. firmware-linux.  I tried to install it but couldn't locate the package.  Thus I looked at /etc/apt/souces.list to verify that non-free isn't included by default.  As changing sources.list isn't something I'm doing on a regular basis I had to lookup the syntax.  After 'apt-get update' I could install firmware-linux, which made the oops vanish.  All in all this might be a little to much knowledge required by the user to finally be able to install firmware.  One possibility might be to add a question in the installer, whether contrib and non-free should be included in the generated sources.list.

Otherwise the installation experience was a bliss.  I'm using Debian since about ten years now and the installation process is getting better and better.  Congratulations and thanks for that.

> After installation I had a reproducible kerneloops in the radeon kernel module.  Near the oops-report in kern.log I find an error log about unloadable firmware.  As I knew that Debian excludes non-free firmware I searched the web for the package name, i.e. firmware-linux.  I tried to install it but couldn't locate the package.  Thus I looked at /etc/apt/souces.list to verify that non-free isn't included by default.  As changing sources.list isn't something I'm doing on a regular basis I had to lookup the syntax.  After 'apt-get update' I could install firmware-linux, which made the oops vanish.  All in all this might be a little to much knowledge required by the user to finally be able to install firmware.  One possibility might be to add a question in the installer, whether contrib and non-free should be included in the generated sources.list.

Such question already exists in expert mode.

Given that your installation was a complete success, I do as
usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-)

This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.

Many thanks for your time testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
