Hello, I have to specify an additional repo from our open build service instance for the installation. I try to add the repo as a "add_on_others" in the xml. But the installation process fails with: "THROW: File './media.1/products' not found on medium 'http://packages.babenhausen.marco.de/marco/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/?alias=marco…'" My specific part in the xml: <add_on_others t="list"> <listentry t="map"> <alias>marco_mbs</alias> <media_url>http://packages.babenhausen.marco.de/marco/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/</media_url> <name>marco_mbs</name> <priority t="integer">99</priority> <product_dir>/</product_dir> </listentry> </add_on_others> Any idea what am I doing wrong here?

Autoyast and tumbleweed: does it make sense?
by Daniel Spannbauer 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Hello, does it make sense to install Tumbleweed via autoyast cause of the rapid changing of the package versions? Or can I define packages without a specific version in the autoyast rules?

Hallo, es sind eigene Programme. DIe Programme haben als Shebang /usr/bin/python3. Wenn jetzt von 3.10 auf 3.11 upgedated wird, werden nicht alle Module auf 3.11 upgedated, die für 3.10 installiert sind.

remove opensuse repos
by Daniel Spannbauer 13 Oct '23

Hello, On a Leap 15.5 installation via autoyast there are always the opensuse repos configured. How can I get rid of them? Simply delete them in a post script? Or is there a xml switch for the repos?

Howto use RIS service in autoyast?
by Andreas Vetter 08 Aug '23

08 Aug '23

Hi, is there a way in autoyast to use a RIS service (repoindex.xml file like https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-repos/blob/main/opensuse-leap-repoinde…) instead of a list of repositories? Something to replace: <add-on> <add_on_products config:type="list"> <listentry> <media_url><![CDATA[https:// ... </listentry> </add_on_products> </add-on> -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter

Yast2second stange (testX) hangs while installing via autoyast
by Daniel Spannbauer 14 Jul '23

14 Jul '23

Hello, I try to install our Systems via autoyast (which works like a charm with 15.2) with a preconfigured Leap 15.5 After a reboot it hangs when starting the second stage of yast. /usr/lib/YaST2/startup/YaST2.Second-Stage starts some processes, also /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/testX. The X is started, but textX becommes a zombie and it hangs. Any ideas, how to debug this?

Bug in autoyast documentation or validation profile?
by Daniel Spannbauer 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

Hello, in our autoyast profile we use: <sound> <autoinstall config:type="boolean">true</autoinstall> <configure_detected config:type="boolean">true</configure_detected> </sound> If I check the profile with jing oder xmllint aganst the autoyast rng, it claims about an unallowed "autoinstall" tag. "error: element "autoinstall" not allowed here; expected the element end-tag or element "configure_detected", "modules_conf", "pulse_audio_status", "rc_vars" or "volume_settings"" But this tag is listed in the documentation at https://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ 4.38.2 "Sound devices". So whats wrong, the rng or the docs?

Correct/best way to specify path to autoyast
by Daniel Spannbauer 21 Dec '22

21 Dec '22

Hello, we create an iso image of an installation media. This can be used for burning an DVD or for copying it on an usb key. What is the best way to append an "autoyast=" line? Atm. we use two files for syslinux and isolinux, but I wan't to simplify it. But when I use "autoyast=file:///autoyast.xml" the file could not be found, when I start from USB. When I add "autoyast=usb:///autoyast.xml" it can't be found when starting from DVD. So is there a config which lets yast search it on alle media?

Re: Getting verbose progress back on 15SP4?
by Frank Steiner 25 Jul '22

Hi Imo, sorry for ignoring you here :-) I posted a similar message on the yast-devel list and we a little discussion there. My last (although unanswered) proposal was adding a little button or sth. similar that would either open a popup or display a window below the progress bar that would show the output of sth. like "tail -f /var/log/YaST2/y2log |grep -o 'Executing.*'" That would be trivial to implement but give at least the info which packages are currently installed. Definitely better than nothing. And as it would be hidden by default, "normal" users would still just see the single progress bar. Maybe that's worth considering for the next release... cu, Frank igonzalezsosa wrote: > El 2022-07-05 06:27, Frank Steiner escribió: >> Hi Imo, > > Hi Frank, > >> Imobach Gonzalez Sosa wrote: >> >>> Sorry, but there is no way to show the package names.

Getting verbose progress back on 15SP4?
by Frank Steiner 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Hi, doing the first installation of a 15SP4 system with AY we see the progress report has been reduced to the progress bar and the number and size of the remaining packages. In all previous version we could see the list of repos, how many packages from each repo had already been installed etc. and (most important!) the name of the package currently installed. All this info is now gone. I didn't find an option in the AY doku for SP4. Is there any way to get the verbose information back? At least the name of the currently installing package? Thanks! cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
