[opensuse-autoinstall] autoyast 11.2 keyboard, firewall and /etc/sysconfig problems
Hello, I can't figure out where i can select the keyboard that i want to use. I think i looked everywhere but apparently not since i still haven't found it. My next problem is probably not too important but it confused me. In the autoyast i disabled the firewall and when the install stops and shows the settings, it says the firewall is up and that ssh will be blocked (or something similar). However when the system is installed the firewall is disabled in yast2. Last problem is when i go in the sysconfig section of autoyast. For example i select kde4 and save the configuration file, quit autoyast, restart autoyast and reload the configuration file and nothing shows up in that section. There's no items anymore in the left side. However when i click ok -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Hardware -> Keyboard Layout (just <keyboard> in the XML file) and maybe System -> Language (just <language> in the XML file). I can't find it in the docs right now, maybe it isn't in there.

It is disabled by default, so you should not need to disable it explicitly (but you can, of course). This stuff in the Summary Screen happens, I always get "root password not set" although it works perfectly fine afterwards. I don't know if it is being fixed, but you can safely ignore it.

From my experience, it is best to always have the XML file under version control (like RCS), because editing it via the GUI does funny
Premature enterculation? things, like default values getting added in one edit and disappearing in the next or the package "autoyast-installation" being added to the package list one more time on every edit, although it is already in that list. You can easily spot and fix or ignore those then (eg. with rcsdiff). I haven't seen user-configured non-default stuff being removed, but you can fix that with VC too for now. If that bug was not yet known, I guess it will be fixed soon. tty, 686f6c6d -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

Hello, Wile formerly there was a keyboard section at least the DTD files dont have it now. I put it into sysconfig, in my case: <sysconfig config:type="list" > ... <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>KEYTABLE</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_path>/etc/sysconfig/keyboard</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_value>de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> ... </sysconfig> If I recall correctly Xorg made even without configuring a good guess about keyboard layout. While linux-console was us-american on a european keyboard in that case. But what to do if one wants to have more special switches? Also there seems to be no <x11>-section anymore. But even without configuring Xorg runs reasonable well here. Except for some ati-drivers where I had to choose Xorg-server from extra repository. Greetings, David
