Bug#976808: Bullseye arm64 d-i Alpha 3: Items cannot be selected by space
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20201202
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
As I reported at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=976807
Bullseye arm64 d-i does not provide graphical installation
to QEMU VMs. So I tried text-based installation. The
installer says:
<Tab> moves; <Space> selects; <Enter> activates buttons
But <Space> is not recognized. When I type an alphabet letter,
the selection moves to an item starting with that letter,
but when there are multiple items starting with the same latter
(e.g. Africa and Asia), I cannot choose the second item (e.g. Asia).
This really prevents me from installation...
qemu-system-aarch64 is started as follows:
#!/bin/sh
ARCH=arm64
IMAGE=/var/tmp/qemu-disk-${ARCH}.qcow2
CDROM=/var/tmp/debian-bullseye-DI-alpha3-${ARCH}-netinst.iso
rm -f $IMAGE
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1 -o lazy_refcounts=on -o preallocation=off $IMAGE 20G
cd /var/tmp
cp /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd .
qemu-system-aarch64 \
-nographic -enable-kvm -machine virt,iommu=smmuv3,acpi=on -cpu host -m 3072 -smp 2\
-net nic,model=virtio -net user -object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng0 \

-drive if=virtio,file=${CDROM},index=1,format=raw,readonly=on,media=cdrom \
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd,readonly=on \
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=AAVMF_VARS.fd
