[yast-devel] buttons buttons buttons
by Martin Schmidkunz 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi, when testing openSUSE 11.1/SLES 11 I came across a rather curious situation: many modules have already switched their label from Abort/OK(Accept, Finish...) to the style guide compliant Cancel/OK label. However in every case there is a third, inactive "Back" button included. This doesn't make sense as there is nothing to go back and the dialog is just an overview. I suppose this is due to many of you using wizard.ycp as base template for creating your module. What do you think about using the button box (http://lizards.opensuse.org/2008/08/28/button-order-in-yast-trying-to-make-…) instead of the buttons of wizard.ycp? In my opinion this would have the following advantages: * consistent button order in pop ups and in the module * user would not need to deal with an inactive button * button order in YaST would be consistent with the desktop used by the user What do you think about that issue?

[yast-devel] Wizard module: Dropping deprecated functions
by Lukas Ocilka 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, I've just dropped these deprecated functions from Wizard YCP module: * /ReplaceNextButton/ - replaced with *SetNextButton* * /ReplaceBackButton/ - replaced with *SetBackButton* * /ReplaceAbortButton/ - replaced with *SetAbortButton* These functions have been reporting a warning for a very long time and except one module /yast2-drbd version 2.13/, it is not in use anymore. This hasn't been done just for fun but because of using UI::WizardCommand in there instead of UI::ReplaceWidget. Have a nice day Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano. Moudry rozkaz.

[yast-devel] announce: API changes in yast2-users and yast2-ldap
by Jiří Suchomel 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi hackers, those of you who are using neither .ldap agent nor any yast2-users API may hit Delete now. For others, I would like to announce that .ldap agent now uses original LDAP names of the object keys that are returned as a result of a search. For example, the search for user object which returned $[ "uidnumber" : 1000, "homedirectory" : "/home/hh", "uid" : "hh" ] now returns $[ "uidNumber" : 1000, "homeDirectory" : "/home/hh", "uid" : "hh" ] This change (required by feature 303596) affects the return value of all .ldap.search calls, so please check your code. I tried to grep for agent usage and update yast2-mail, yast2-ldap-server and yast2-samba-server, see the attached diff. Please review, or at least test it and submit the changes. The change also affects the API of yast2-users, since the module uses for its internal user and group representation the same keys as are defined for LDAP. So if you are using the keys directly, e.g. you are changing user name in this way: Users::SelectUser (1000); Users::EditUser ($[ "uidnumber" : 1111 ]); Users::CommitUser () etc. you have to change the line where the internal key is used, i.e. Users::EditUser ($[ "uidNumber" : 1111 ]); (However, I haven't find anyone using yast2-users module to add or edit users) If anything is not clear enough, please ask.

[yast-devel] DBus/PolicyKit support in Yast in openSUSE-11.1-Alpha1
by Ladislav Slezak 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi all! I'd like to inform you about a new feature in Yast in openSUSE-11.1-Alpha1. The feature allows you to configure role based access to yast. The current implementation is limited only to some yast functionality (the SCR part), e.g. it doesn't allow to install packages by a non-root user. WARNING: the DBus support is still in development state, it may be buggy or whatever else... I ask the brave people here to give it a try. See http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/DBus_Integration for more details. There is an example how to enable "time zone change" task for a non-root user. If you find any problem with the DBus integration report it to bugzilla.novell.com and assign the bug to me. Do not forget to attach also the non-root log file (described in the link above). -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak(a)suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] unicode strings in ncurses gui with libyui
by Jan-Simon Möller 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi! I wonder how i can get special characters "äöü" to be displayed in the ncurses gui. I use python-yui (libyui-bindings for python). An example is attached. The "äüö" works for QT UI, but not for ncurses. Any hint in the right direction ?! Best regards Jan-Simon

[yast-devel] AutoYaST Update Feature
by Arthur Rodrigo Sawazachi Valadares 30 Jul '08

30 Jul '08

Hi, I wanted to ask if there is any initiative on developing a "Distro Update" feature for AutoYaST. I believe that, as of today, AutoYaST can only be used for a new installation, right?

$subj doesn't work Software error: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can't connect to the database. Error: Too many connections Is your database installed and up and running?
