Package: nvram-wakeup
Version: 0.97-12
Severity: important
When installing nvram-wakeup as part of the debian-edu automatic
installation, the installation was interrupted with a note giving
instructions on how to get nvram-wakeup working. This note seem like
debconf misuse to me, as it would be better to give such instructions
when running the tool. Then the information will be available when it
is needed.
This is the problematic code in nvram-wakeup.config:
# show manual install instructions:
db_input high nvram-wakeup/install_instruction || true
db_go
This is the text of the popup. I suggest moving it to the tool itself
and give the instructions when it is unable to talk to the kernel
driver.
Description: Install instructions
There are two ways the NVRAM can be accessed. To use direct I/O access you
will have to specify the --directisa option. Alternatively you can use the
nvram kernel module. If this kernel module is available, but not loaded,
you may need to perform these steps:
.
- modprobe nvram
.
- add nvram to /etc/modules
.
- alternatively you can use modconf to reach the same result
