Hi, with openSUSE 11.2 you can use "static_text" as type in ask-dialogs. You can read about it in my blog: http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/02/static-text-in-ask-dialogs-with.html -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-autoinstall] ayast_setup.ycp
by Jochen Schaefer 16 Feb '09

Hi Uwe, is ayast_setup.ycp supported for SLES10 also? I didn't find it in any autoyast package. I used it for a bond configuration and it worked very well but customer is interested on the support state.

[opensuse-autoinstall] oS 11.1 own repository without MD5 and SHA1 sums ?
by Guenther Haas 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi again! I have another question: Is it possible to have own repositories without MD5 and SHA1 sums in setup/descr and the content file? I tried to use all of the following options, especially the first: <signature-handling> <accept_unsigned_file config:type="boolean">true</accept_unsigned_file> <accept_file_without_checksum config:type="boolean">true</accept_file_without_checksum> <accept_verification_failed config:type="boolean">true</accept_verification_failed> <accept_unknown_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</accept_unknown_gpg_key> <import_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</import_gpg_key> </signature-handling> But my own repository has not been included without all those checksums, one has to update after every little change, e.g. in a pattern file. Adding them in the MD5SUMS and content file, everything works fine, using the repository I created for openSUSE 11.0 with the graphical Tool given for that purpose and correcting some little bugs of the result manually. So, is it possible without checksums as in the good old days of SuSE 10.1? Thanks in advance, -- Guenther Haas, Uni Ulm, Institut TAIT, guenther.haas(a)gmx.de

[opensuse-autoinstall] oS 11.1 autoyast installation with only KDE 3.5 or with KDE 4.2 (and 3.5)
by Guenther Haas 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi all! I have the following questions concerning openSUSE 11.1 autoinstall and KDE. Maybe they are trivial. For me they are not. So perhaps someone could help me with that: Which patterns do I (not) have to choose for an autoyast installation completely WITHOUT KDE 4.1? In the manual installation process one has to choose at the very beginning if it should be an KDE 3 or 4 installation. Is this possible with autoyast as well? Trying that I always got both KDE versions in the end. The following could be an interesting alternative: (How) Is it possible to have the KDE 4.2 repository integrated into the autoyast installation, so that 4.1 is replaced by 4.2. I tried to integrate the repository, but anyway, 4.1 rpms have been installed and not the rpms of 4.2. Although the 4.2 packets are available in the (auto)Yast software section, so the repository has been included. Thanks in advance, -- Guenther Haas, Uni Ulm, Institut TAIT, guenther.haas(a)gmx.de

[opensuse-autoinstall] setting root password in autoyast
by Werner Hack 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi, how can I set a root password in autoyast installation (openSuSE 11.1). I tried following syntax in autoyast.xml but the password for root is not set after installation is done: <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <user_password>encrypted password</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> </users> Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? While doing an installation manually it is possible to set a root password, so I think it's also possible in autoyast installation via xml control.
