[opensuse-autoinstall] Failure setting keyboard , language and timezone
Dear AutoYaST crew , doing autoinstallation for SuSE 12.1 i didn't suceed to configure our MEZ time , german keyboard and language the same way we did for 11.3. I searched for hints , learning this configuration has moved and i tried the following places for the next lines: <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone> </clock> <keyboard> <keymap>german</keymap> </keyboard> <language>de_DE</language> 1) after <install> <general> as for 11.3 2) directly after <profile 3) after <configure> 4) directly writing to sysconfig <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_path>clock</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_key>HWCLOCK</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_value>--localtime</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>TIMEZONE</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_value>Europe/Berlin</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> but working with y2confirm timezone , keyboard and language are not recognized in installation settings and not installed . Please show me the right way.

this works fine here on my 12.1: <language> <language>en_US</language> <languages>de_DE</languages> </language> <keyboard> <keyboard_values> <capslock config:type="boolean">false</capslock> <delay></delay> <discaps config:type="boolean">false</discaps> <numlock></numlock> <rate></rate> <scrlock config:type="boolean">false</scrlock> <tty>tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 tty8 tty9 tty10 tty11 tty12 tty13 tty14 tty15 tty16 tty17 tty18 tty19 tty20</tty> </keyboard_values> </keyboard> <timezone> <hwclock>localtime</hwclock> <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone> </timezone>
I searched for hints , learning this configuration has moved and i tried the following places for the next lines:
<hwclock>localtime</hwclock> <timezone>Europe/Berlin</timezone> </clock> <keyboard> <keymap>german</keymap> </keyboard> <language>de_DE</language>
the <language> is not valid. See my XML example above
1) after<install>
don't use <install> and <configure> anymore. Those are deprecated since around 5 years
4) directly writing to sysconfig
<sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_path>clock</sysconfig_path> <sysconfig_key>HWCLOCK</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_value>--localtime</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_entry> <sysconfig_key>TIMEZONE</sysconfig_key> <sysconfig_value>Europe/Berlin</sysconfig_value> </sysconfig_entry>
but working with y2confirm timezone , keyboard and language are not recognized in installation settings and not installed .
if you configure it via sysconfig, it'll not show up in the y2confirm screen anyway. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "Stalker" by Covenant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org

Oops! In my /root/autoinst.xml there is <language> <language>en_GB</language> <languages></languages> </language> so that the strange syntax seems to be really correct. But right now I don't find where this is documented. At least I cannot find it in http://users.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_en.pdf Where is it documented?

language is the system language in languages you can put additional comma separated languages that are getting installed (like language packages for Libre Office and so)
But right now I don't find where this is documented. At least I cannot find it in http://users.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_en.pdf

there is no documentation for that IIRC. If you use the UI to create that snippet, it gets clear how the syntax is. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
If the doc(source)s were on your github account, I (or anybody else) could fork you so hard right now and document that. Is there a legal reason that prevents that?
