Now my question is, was the ability to duplicate for a private bug disabled, or is this just a new policy? Yes, seems to be a new policy. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435214#c5 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435214#c6 I don't understand what has to be so secret about the volume keys on a laptop. Pressing a key generates an event, which simply needs to be tacked on to the current OSD function that is already present. It's not the bug content. It's the way SLE-bugs are created: non-public. And when those meet public ones you need a clever bugzilla, a clever bug assignee and a well known policy.

Actually it is the content, I have opened SLE bugs in the past, but can't if it contains information from a customer. I also dupe the SLE bug on the openSUSE bug if the openSUSE bug has more information (did maybe 5-10 this way last week). However in this case investigation already began in the SLE bug before the openSUSE one was reported, so we arrived at an awkward circumstance. I kept the other one open not wanting to dupe it to something the reporter couldn't read, not a perfect solution of course, but hopefully reduces the issues. -JP -- JP Rosevear Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
