AFAIK the only installer issues atm are due to yeeloong-base hard depending on certain versions of linux-libre, and linux-libre getting updated a lot.

In another ticket someone reported more recent installer builds were working okay, so need to test this again.

Please install & run "laptop-detect" on a running system.

Also, which version of Linux did you use for installing?

This is with Dec 12th daily build netinst, although I've also seen these problems with older builds.

(a) If you try to use tasksel at install time, after reboot when you do a "aptitude dist-upgrade" all the tasksel packages are removed.

(b) tasksel isn't detecting that the yeeloong is a laptop / installing the laptop bundle

(c) even with the tasksel install of Desktop and Standard, some important packages don't get installed.

As a workaround until these bugs are understood / fixed, I've been using the attached file and doing

# dpkg --set-selections < *.selections
# apt-get dselect-upgrade

after installs.
