https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258846 ------- Comment #1 from mschmidkunz@novell.com 2007-03-30 01:13 MST ------- In order to have a consistent YaST it is important that all modules behave in the same way. Most of them present an initializing page and a "writing the configuration" page when the user changes something. Some modules (e.g. Hostnames, Proxy, Remote Administration, DNS, Routing) don't behave in that way. So to increase consistency and to meet user expectations I would strongly recommend to add a "writing the configuration" page when the configuration is written and not to leave the user with a temporally frozen module. -- 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.

It doesn't provide any useful information to the user and IMHO its the only "configuration saved" pop-up in the whole YaST. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258846 ------- Comment #7 from kmachalkova@novell.com 2007-04-23 01:22 MST ------- Well, we can remove it, but what about Remote administration module? - it finishes writing the configuration with a popup as well, telling user to restart display manager so that settings can take effect. Shall I remove this popup, too? But how to notify user about the fact that he/she need to do something extra (relogin, restart dm) to apply the settings? I think putting this information into the help text is not a good idea, since users usually read the help text only if nothing else helps ;-) -- 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.

Is it the help text to the left of write progress (saving configuration) dialog? -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258846 ------- Comment #11 from kmachalkova@novell.com 2007-05-03 08:20 MST ------- I did some further investigation into this, as me and Miso did not quite like the possibility of moving information from popup to the label (frankly, it did not look as well as we expected). According to bug #55458, the popup in remote administration module was originally there because calling 'rcxdm reload' killed the running X session and that's why display manager needed to be restarted manually. It no longer does 'rcxdm reload' works well for kdm and xdm. Unfortunately, not for gdm, but for gdm it is enough to run appropriate SuSEconfig module to enable/disable remote administration. Conclusion: we can drop the popup completely, without any further changes to UI. -- 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.
