Re: Bugs on Debian 12 RC2



Hello Philippe,

Thanks for your efforts, posting in English and French, but I'll stick
to English in this reply, since this is a development list, English-only
by convention.

Installation reports are the best way to let us know about issues with
the installer[1] but this mailing list in the next best thing…

I don't think we're supposed to support WPA3 in the installer just yet.
I know at least WPA2 Enterprise isn't supported at this time.

Can you please expand on that? If you're talking about bookworm-updates,
I've just fixed that bug in apt-setup, in this very RC 2 release.

Are you talking about going through an offline installation? Or are you
talking about deactivating wired or wireless connections in your desktop
environment before rebooting?

If the latter, that's definitely not a bug for us, but for the desktop
environment and/or its connection manager.

You'd need to provide more details about that, like a log (/var/log/apt
might be useful); definitely not a topic for us, rather a bug report to
file against the linux package I suppose.
