on the server I have some templates("rules") for different partitioning,software etc.

But I like the user who installs the system to select these rules (instead of the automatic matching)

During Autoyast, before the installation starts, a window should appear which shows all rules by Name and the user then clicks the rulenames which he wants to be applied to the autoyast.xml file.

I have implemented that for openSUSE 11.3 and I did a backport for openSUSE 11.2 (that driverupdate might even work for openSUSE 11.1 but I did not try).

I blogged about it: http://ugansert.blogspot.com/2009/11/interactive-autoyast-rules.html

official documentation: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/rulesandclass.html#rules_dialogs

driverupdate for openSUSE 11.2 (might work for 11.1 too): http://www.suse.de/~ug/download/driverupdate_11.2.tar.bz2

Hi there, I just wanted to try this feature within my openSUSE 11.2 autoinstallation. I installed the driverupdate in my installation source and copy/paste your example from your blog into my rules.xml. During installation the dialogbox pops up but I can not switch the selection. Timeout seems also not ot work. Any ideas? Is there something missing in your example?

okay, the first version was impressively broken. I put a new driverupdate to http://www.suse.de/~ug/download/

Thanks Werner for testing and reporting the issues. It seems to work now.

Testing with openSUSE 11.2 and the driverupdate, I think I found some more bugs. Or are they features? First: Deselecting one ore more (default) elements in a dialog box and NOT selecting a different element doesn't lead to the expected result. The rules are still "matching" and executed after pressing OK as long as no different element is chosen before pressing OK. I would expect, that selected elements/rules are "on" and deselected are "off" independent of the switching "history", same for the next point... Second: Elements not selected by default (e.g. with an never matching rule) are not locked and can be chosen additionally to the default options, even when marked as conflicting with them. The are only locked (and marked grey) after changing the default. Third: I had several tries when not only the default elements/rules where marked as chosen/matching automatically but all elements, even when conflicting. And last, not a real bug(?) but strange anyway: When the autoinstallation pauses at the first dialog box, switching to console 3 with CTRL+ALT+F3, I can read the following: ... dud: nfs:/linux/suse/x86_64-11.1 ---- or dud: nfs:/linux/suse/i586-11.1 ---- depending on which type (32/64bit) installation I try. Is this connected to the "driverupdate"? If yes, I would expect 11.3 or at least 11.2. Additionally: With the "driverupdate", I managed to get some segmentation faults with one certain rules file. After changing the file, interactive yast rules seem to work now with the effects described above. I know, it's a openSUSE 11.3 feature, but is it possible, to get another version of "driverupdate" for openSUSE 11.2? That would be great!

I can not reproduce that here. I'd need your rules.xml file for that

Second: Elements not selected by default (e.g. with an never matching rule) are not locked and can be chosen additionally to the default options, even when marked as conflicting with them. The are only locked (and marked grey) after changing the default.

Werner found that one too. It's indeed a bug which is fixed by the driverupdate I have uploaded a few minutes ago The other issues you had I can not reproduce. Please send me you rules.xml file. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Spark (Burikusu RMX)" by Assemblage 23 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
