Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell-web@zmi.at QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2 I've just installed a new openSUSE 11.4 with "minimal" selection, as I don't need a graphical console on it (will be used as a server). But then I got unhappy. I want the graphical "yast2", and for that I need yast2-control-center-qt, which in turn requires 145 packages that need 352MB disk space. Is all that really neccessary? Is there a more minimalistic approach to getting graphical yast2? I just want ssh connections that allow wireshark, yast2 and similar to be called from remote. I don't want to blame anyone, but maybe there's a way to reduce the requirements for a minimalistic server that still wants wireshark/yast over ssh. On the other hand, calling "yast2" after that enormous installation still only shows the console yast2, as "xorg-x11" is *not* installed but required for that :-( Maybe possible to make this smaller? # zypper in yast2-control-center-qt Daten des Repositorys laden ...

Maybe possible to install "xorg-x11" when installing a package like yast2-control-center-qt, because otherwise yast2 still won't be graphical: # zypper in xorg-x11 Daten des Repositorys laden ...

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install "minimal" packages without graphical console 2. install yast2-control-center-qt to get graphical yast2 (big update!) 3. still need to install xorg-x11 to get graphical yast2 Actual Results: lots of seemingly unneeded packages on a server Expected Results: maybe footprint can be made smaller? -- 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.
