Bug#825840: localechooser: image display inverts red and blue color
Control: reassign -1 localechooser 2.68
Control: retitle -1 localechooser: image display inverts red and blue color
Ok, so here is my latest experiment.
1. Get the latest Debian Installer Stretch Alpha 7 release
wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha7/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-stretch-DI-alpha7-powerpc-netinst.iso
2. Burn to USB key:
dd if=debian-stretch-DI-alpha7-powerpc-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync
3. Plug/Unplug to Mac Minig G4
4. Reboot Mac Mini G4
5. Press Cmd+Opt+o+f to get to Open Firmware
6. Boot USB key:
> boot usb0/disk@1:2,\\yaboot
7. Type:
install32
At this point you should see the localechooser screen with a nicely
inverted color (red background instead of blue background).
Now simply go to alternate screen (eg. Alt+F2), and then type:
# localechooser
And be amazed that now the background is a nice blue background !
Looking at the source of localechooser I could not figure out what
code path was used during debian-installer that gave it some sort of
byte-swapped idea.
Anyway please revert that change and leave the default `localechooser`
background to make big endian (powerpc?) behave the same way as little
endian.
