[Bug 239631] New: Dialog prompting for Add-On CD is confusing / does not identify it as the Add-On CD!
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239631 Summary: Dialog prompting for Add-On CD is confusing / does not identify it as the Add-On CD! Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: webclark@rochester.rr.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com This is OpenSuse 10.2 Final (The OS field does not seem to list this) I probably have the terminology wrong because I do not have the screens in front of me, but I believe it will be clear. During install, when loading CDs, the system periodically prompts for the next CD. The main window lists the CDs that will be used in groups: The 5 CDs of the main system, then the "Add-On" CD as another group. When a CD is needed, a dialog box pops up asking for CD1, CD2, etc. Eventually it asked for "CD1", which I associated with the first CD of the 6 CD set. What was WANTED was "CD1" of the ONE CD set for the "Add-on". It did not occur to me to put in the Add-on, since it is referred to as the Add-on CD everywhere. "CD1" always means the first CD of the 5 CD set in other contexts. This kept me going for several days until I noticed the background list and tried the Add-on CD and it worked: Solution: Enhance the pop-up dialog box which requests CDs to ALSO indicate the group (e.g. CD1 of the "Add-on" group). Thank you. suseforum post (for exact details, nothing new conceptually, but it shows the confusion that occurred): Install started by booting "CD1' downloaded, dated 12-1 on server. Checked MD5SUMs on download, verified CDs before starting. Went smoothly through CD1, 2,3,4,5, and addon, then wanted CD1 again. I fed it the same CD1 I started with (Booted), and it said that it was not the right CD. It wants "20061214-195003 CD1' The CD1 I started with has the number 20061201 132443 in media.1/media. I assume that this is the pertinent number. Any ideas why the install wants a DIFFERENT CD than the one I started with, and where I can get it? I checked all 6 CDs, and the CDx's have the same number (20061201 132443) and the add-on has 20061201 153538 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
