<h1>Errata for <humanversion /></h1>
<p>
This is a list of known problems in the <humanversion /> release of the Debian
Installer. If you do not see your problem listed here, please send us an
<a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.html#submit-bug">installation
report</a> describing the problem.
</p>
<dl class="gloss">
<dt>GNOME may fail to start with some virtual machine setups</dt>
<dd>It was noticed during Stretch Alpha 4 image testing that
GNOME might fail to start depending on the setup used for virtual
machines. It seems using cirrus as an emulated video chip is fine.
<br />
<b>Status:</b> Being investigated.</dd>
<dt>Desktop installations may not work using CD#1 alone</dt>
<dd>Due to space constraints on the first CD, not all of the
expected GNOME desktop packages fit on CD#1. For a successful
installation, use extra package sources (e.g. a second CD or a
network mirror) or use a DVD instead. <br /> <b>Status:</b> It is
unlikely more efforts can be made to fit more packages on
CD#1. </dd>
<dt>Theme used in the installer</dt>
<dd>There's no Buster artwork yet, and the installer is still
using the Stretch theme.
<br />
<b>Status:</b>
Fixed in Buster RC 1: <a href="https://bits.debian.org/2019/01/futurePrototype-will-be-the-default-theme-for-debian-10.html">futurePrototype</a> has been integrated.</dd>
<dt>Buggy shortcuts in the nano editor</dt>
<dd>The nano version used inside Debian Installer doesn't
advertise the same shortcuts as the regular nano package (on
installed systems). In particular the suggestion to
use <tt>C-s</tt> to <q>Save</q> seems to be a problem for
people using the installer on a serial console
(<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/915017">#915017</a>).
<br />
<b>Status:</b> Fixed in Buster RC 1.</dd>
<dt>Broken rendering for Gujarati</dt>
<dd>It was only discovered too late for the D-I Buster Alpha 4
release that rendering for the Gujarati language was broken,
due to an issue with the needed fonts for this language
(<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/911705">#911705</a>).
<br />
<b>Status:</b> Fixed in Buster Alpha 5.</dd>
<!-- things should be better starting with Jessie Beta 2...
<dt>GNU/kFreeBSD support</dt>
<dd>GNU/kFreeBSD installation images suffer from various
important bugs
(<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757985"><a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757985">#757985</a></a>,
<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757986"><a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757986">#757986</a></a>,
<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757987"><a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757987">#757987</a></a>,
<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757988"><a href="https://bugs.debian.org/757988">#757988</a></a>). Porters
could surely use some helping hands to bring the installer back
into shape!</dd>
-->
<!-- kind of obsoleted by the first "important change" mentioned in the 20140813 announce...
<dt>Accessibility of the installed system</dt>
<dd>Even if accessibility technologies are used during the
installation process, they might not be automatically enabled
within the installed system.
</dd>
-->
<!-- leaving this in for possible future use...
<dt>Desktop installations on i386 do not work using CD#1 alone</dt>
<dd>Due to space constraints on the first CD, not all of the expected GNOME desktop
packages fit on CD#1. For a successful installation, use extra package sources (e.g.
a second CD or a network mirror) or use a DVD instead.
<br />
<b>Status:</b> It is unlikely more efforts can be made to fit more packages on CD#1.
</dd>
-->
<!-- ditto...
<dt>Potential issues with UEFI booting on amd64</dt>
<dd>There have been some reports of issues booting the Debian Installer in UEFI mode
on amd64 systems. Some systems apparently do not boot reliably using <code>grub-efi</code>, and some
others show graphics corruption problems when displaying the initial installation splash
screen.
<br />
If you encounter either of these issues, please file a bug report and give as much detail
as possible, both about the symptoms and your hardware - this should assist the team to fix
these bugs. As a workaround for now, try switching off UEFI and installing using <q>Legacy
BIOS</q> or <q>Fallback mode</q> instead.
<br />
<b>Status:</b> More bug fixes might appear in the various Wheezy point releases.
</dd>
-->
<!-- ditto...
<dt>i386: more than 32 mb of memory is needed to install</dt>
<dd>
The minimum amount of memory needed to successfully install on i386
is 48 mb, instead of the previous 32 mb. We hope to reduce the
requirements back to 32 mb later. Memory requirements may have
also changed for other architectures.
