Hi there,
excuse my previous posting in german. I forgot, that this list prefers
english.
I have the following problem with autoyast:
After being almost finished with the cloning of some R51 Thinkpads, I got the
following Problem:
a) The Hostname ist not setup correctly
b) X11 is not configured, though there are enties in the config-file (see
below)
c) user are not added
It seems to me, as if the entire <configure> section is ignored. Software
selection and configuration of the boot-loader works, nevertheless.
The section looks like the following:
---snip---
<configure>
<groups config:type="list">

<groupname>video</groupname>
<userlist>user2,user4,user2,user1</userlist>

As I read before, the file is parsed and partly understood and exectued. But
the <configure> section does not work. Oh, yes: If I add an preinstallation
script, that works. The other sections are ignored all the time.
I do not find any relevant information in the logs:
---snip---
2004-11-29 14:07:05 <5> linux(997) [ui-ncurses] YNCursesUI.cc(idleLoop):163
idleLoop error in select() (9)
2004-11-29 14:07:05 <5> linux(997) [ui-ncurses] YNCursesUI.cc(idleLoop):163
idleLoop error in select() (9)
---snap---
more than 90% of the logs are made up by this line. I use Suse Professional
9.1, and I tried in with and without patches and upgrades. No change occured.
What did happen here?
kind regards,
Oliver Osburg

note : All above is my opinion unless specified otherwise.
9:30, Computing Center: Mainserver died. Hairdo okay.
