Feature changed by: Clayton smaug42 (smaug42) Feature #307942, revision 8 Title: change YaST PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT behavior from EXIT to RESTART openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: andrea florio (anubisg1) Description: YaST exit after a packageinstallation appear as crash. According to /etc/sysconfig/yast2 # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured. So, set value to summary is not useful, since the only time I need to read a summary is when something fail. I think the best solution is to do as any other package manager on debian/ubuntu, mandriva, fedora, does, just go back to "package search/selection" screen. That means set as a default PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT="restart" Discussion: #1: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2009-10-08 01:17:21) Any feedback is better then simple exit without any notification what happened. Summary can be helpfull for some cases, but at the moment I test it so I can't say exactly what is good about it, or even do I want it as default, but I'm sure I want to see package manager after installation, as that is both, feedback and what I expect to see. I'm sure that I'm not alone annoyed, when right after system installation, I look for additional packages, and every time I install something the dummy exits. Like he knows better what I want. #2: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) (2009-10-08 01:47:03) Absolutely have this the default. I requested this as soon as I saw the aweful way YaST Package Manager behaved back in 11.1. I also asked that settings be persistant (such as show debug packages) once set. The way it is right now it really blows. #3: Clayton smaug42 (smaug42) (2009-10-08 09:15:28) Another vote yes. The questions I get asked most by new users is... "What just happened to the software installer? Did it work? Why doen't this work like synaptic?" Setting the default to a summary would be a HUGE improvement. As well... offering an option within the package manger to toggle the summary off if advanced users don't want it would be very useful. + #4: Clayton smaug42 (smaug42) (2009-10-08 09:17:25) (reply to #3) + Errr.. make that return to the package installer screen not summary : -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307942
