[yast-devel] is TW installer on mirrors currently known to be broken?
I just tried a 32 bit HTTP installation initialized from Grub using previously downloaded from online repos boot/i386/loader linux and initrd. Process starts with license agreement, does system probe, stops for adding online repos and/or include add-on...., then jumps directly to suggested partitioning, within which none of the existing 31 partitions on the single SATA HD on ICH6 are found by YaST, even though fdisk on vtty2 shows a normal listing of all 31. I found no corresponding existing bug for component installation and product Tumbleweed opened in past 2 weeks, or 2 months. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi Felix, Please report a bug in Bugzilla, attach all Yast logs and describe steps how to exactly reproduce the behavior. Just a side note: Is 32 bit openSUSE still supported? Haven't we dropped that?

It depends on what "supported" means. 32 bit images for TW are still provided as well as full 32 bit repo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

How can logs get saved when installation can only barely get started as I described? https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:YaST_logging_to_USB_stick_during_installation had last write 4 years ago. Is it up to date?

32 bit got dropped so far only for Leap. Only reason I was doing another TW installation was to respond to an ancient bug just turned NEEDINFO that doesn't occur on 64 bit: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700416 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Installer tries to setup DHCP network for you ASAP, that is long before setting up online repos.

Some things don't change.

I see, then, if you can't provide logs, please, try to summarize a step by step workflow how to reproduce your issue. Example: 1. Download this from here 2. Boot your machine from X with these parameters 3. Choose Y in installer 4. ... 8. On a Z screen, you get this error Thanks in advance Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, Systems Management (Yast) Team Leader SLE Department, SUSE Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Here it's usually even before then, fixed IP configs on installer cmdline as per linuxrc catalog. :-)

Need is moot for now. I guess there must have been a transient HTTP method glitch. Current installation attempt is proceeding normally. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

OK, just please next time think in this way: You need to tell us what you did, what was the result, and what you consider to be a bug. We know only what you tell us. And especially this piece if information - static network setup via Linuxrc - seems to be quite important when you are installing over HTTP.

Hmm, you are right, I think I've seen some error at api.opensuse.org this morning (at ~7:00 - 7:30), so might have been related. We might try to make it better for next time, do you remember what was the error message? Maybe we could simulate some HTTP error during installation and make sure that user gets some error message and details that they can understand and maybe even fix themselves.

I neglected to visit vtty's other than 2 and 7, and saw nothing I construed as an "error message", unless maybe the partitioner comment as to absence of partition table that fdisk found on vtty2.
