[Bug 215236] New: No way to change language selection for installation
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215236 Summary: No way to change language selection for installation Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: thoenig@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: sh@novell.com No way to change language selection for installation. There is no possibility to revert the language selection at installation time: Once one has chosen the language (first step at installation) and clicks "Next", there is no way to revert that change as the "Back" button is disabled on the next screen (License Agreement 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=215236 ------- Comment #1 from sh@novell.com 2006-10-26 06:10 MST ------- The language selection should probably handle "going backwards" differently than going forward. Right now it seems to return `auto if the user selected his language in the Grub screen. It should do that only in forward direction, not backwards. IIRC the "going backwards" flag is passed to those YCP modules. -- 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.

There is the possibility - you can enter language selection from the Installation proposal menu. 2. Disabling of Back button was done some time ago for some reason, I don't know why. Maybe Lukas knows. -- 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.

Maybe that was a reason for disabling it. See point 1 of comment #2, the report could be marked as invalid anyway. -- 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.

The one who tried to handle everything by one module for licenses made a mistake by disabling the back for every case but obviously wanted to enable it for the fist stage installation. -- 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.

1. There is the possibility - you can enter language selection from the Installation proposal menu.
I think Timo's point was that you don't get that far before you accept the license, and if you don't understand the language, you'd have to accept something you don't understand. This might even cause legal problems: Somebody might claim he wanted to change the language so he can read the license, but he had to accept it without understanding it just so he could change the language, so that "accept" click might be void in a legal sense. -- 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.

This doesn't depend on the language selected for the installation. -- 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.

No, actually I was afraid of choosing a wrong language by mistake (so I did) and not able to revert that change without rebooting. -- 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.
