The kernel updates overwrite user settings without a good reason. "Sorry, I won't do that" is no answer and sounds much like "I'm too lazy". I either expect a acceptable reason "Why you wont fix that" or a fix. And it can't be very complicated, as the strings are replaced by some script. Then an "if(string matches our naming scheme){replace}else{leave string as is}" can't be an overcomplicated fix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nothing against that. What I request is only, that you do as you do only in case the name of the entries also matches your naming scheme. This means you should leave hand-written names as they are. This was one of the major problems of yast and is now mostly gone. Don't introduce it at other places again. And the automatic kernel naming is easy to distinguish from hand modifications. In Perl e.g it would be: if($oldname =~ / +- +2\.\d+\.[0-9.-]+$) { $name = $newname;} else { $name = $oldname;} Is that so complicated? If you find this does not work fine with multiple kernels, fine then enforce the naming scheme for multiple kernels, but for single kernels allow user defined names. Making a bug for nearly every user only to easier support a feature for a very small number of users is very bad style. And when I look at /sbin/update-bootloader I don't find anything, which prohibits to fix that bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

E.g. For my father (>60) it is a big difference if there is "Linux" or some strange text like "openSUSE 10.3 - 2.6.22.1-10.5". For sure I get questions what to do, when the text changes. Having "Linux" and "Windows" there makes it clear and unquestionable. For you and me it may be a matter of style, but such things make it more complicated for people like my father. Yes I know this is no showstopper, but wrong and fixable, so it should be fixed. 2) For my personal use it is a matter of style. The autogen-texts look ugly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
