https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388773 Summary: YaST2 change date and time depends on complete system update (takes absurd length of time) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda(a)ij.net QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- To reproduce: 1-Do complete system update (zypper dup or smart upgrade) 2-shutdown for 8-10 hours 3-turn on to discover EDT (-0400) time is 4 hours earlier than it should be 4-open YaST Control Center (from KDE3 kicker) 5-open Date and Time 6-note synchronize with NTP server and save NTP configuration are already checked, but NTP server address is blank 7-select synchronize now Actual behavior: 1-applet announces dependency on SuSEfirewall2 2-YaST proceeds to refresh sources 3-YaST proceeds to install various updates wholly unrelated to clock or NTP, such as oxygen-icon-theme, sane-backends-autoconfig, mozilla-xulrunner190, perl-doc, ispell and many others 4-NTP server address finally populates 5-NTP adjusts the clock to correct time Expected behavior: 1-NTP adjusts the clock to correct time Note: I have a hardware firewall, and therefore no tolerance for wasting disk space on software firewalls, or the waste of time and bandwidth updating software firewalls and their deps. SuSEfirewall2 was not installed on purpose. YaST should not reinstall it just to enable automatically correct system time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 383086] New: GRUB default set to "Floppy"
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=383086 Summary: GRUB default set to "Floppy" Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 1 Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tilman(a)imap.cc QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer During initial installation I entered the boot loader configuration section to change "splash=silent" to "splash=verbose" and verify that the first entry "openSUSE 11.0" is correctly set as the default entry in the boot menu. Nevertheless, once the system rebooted, /boot/grub/menu.lst had "default 2", selecting the third entry ("Floppy") as the default. This leads to an endless loop of reboot attempts until manual intervention. Tried this twice and it happened both times. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 157078] thunderbird segfaults upon startup when nss_ldap is in use

It has become much more serious because in my experience nscd is even more unreliable under 11.0 than it was under 10.2, so the workround is less effective. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 402812] New: LiveCD Installation aborts when installing on mounted filesystems
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402812 Summary: LiveCD Installation aborts when installing on mounted filesystems Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jpryor(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- (Gnome) LiveCD installation (and probably non-LiveCD install) aborts if it tries to format a mounted filesystem. Instead of aborting, the installer should notify that the user that the partition cannot be formatted, and allow the user to retry w/o restarting the installation. To reproduce: 1. Boot off the LiveCD. 2. Mount a partition (say to backup /etc from a prior broken install or something equally useful ;-) 3. Forget to unmount the partition 4. Double-click the installation icon on the desktop, go through wizard, and specify that the root partition (to be formatted) is the same partition mounted in step 2. 5. Installation aborts when attempting to format partition in (2). Desired behavior: In (5), the installer should note that the partition is mounted, and open a dialog , e.g. "Could not formation partition XXX, as it is mounted." [ Abort Installation ] [ Retry ] The user will then know to unmount the partition, and can easily resume installation. Other: This likely isn't limited to LiveCD installs, as it's quite possible to mount filesystems from the terminal in the stand-alone installer, I just haven't tested this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 361419] New: Invalid resume device in /boot/grub/menu.lst
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 08 Jul '08

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=361419 Summary: Invalid resume device in /boot/grub/menu.lst Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: msvec(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- On 10.3 it's put there as resume=/dev/sda3 which breaks as soon as another disk is put to the system (and disks are often renamed). It could even prevent kernel update from installing correctly (due to mkinitrd taking resumedev from /proc/cmdline and then failing). IMHO the correct way should be like at other places: resume=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3200826AS_4ND05MYS-part3 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 396635] New: Bootloader: Unable to upgrade LABEL-mounted system

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396635 Summary: Bootloader: Unable to upgrade LABEL-mounted system Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: juhliarik(a)novell.com ReportedBy: locilka(a)novell.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com CC: abittner(a)stud.fh-heilbronn.de Found By: --- Originally reported by Andreas Bittner: See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330705#c29 --- cut --- hi there, back to this bug again, i did an opensuse 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade. the workaround at http://en.opensuse.org/How_To_Upgrade_System_with_Separate_/var_Partition is not complete / faulty. did you guys actually try what you have written and documented there? :( first of all, labeling a mounted partition doesnt work at all, i get constant error "-3024" or such from the yast "disk" module when trying to set the label for the /var partition and change the mounting style still in the old 10.1 system. second the screenshot http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/7/78/YaST-Disk-FstabOptions.png clearly displays the radiobutton at "mount device by name", although the device label field is filled out and the whole workaround is supposed to mount the /var by label, so the radiobutton "volume label" needs to be selected ofcourse, otherwise it doesnt do anything at all to fstab. and then there is the issue that the volume label apparently cant be changed/written to a mounted partition, and booting into the old system uses all the partitions, thus needing to go to "init S" / single user mode and dismount all the disks as /var is a essential partition to many processes and stuff that needs to be actively dismounted and programs and daemons ended so that the /var partition can be cleanly dismounted and then the yast disk module being able to write its label stuff. finally, the whole process (upgrade to 10.3) didnt really work after all, the label stuff not helping that much. the packets get installed/upgraded so far so good, but the bootloader installation at the end fails utterly. i tried to look around in /etc and in /boot and all kinds of places where there could be some leftovers and problems, but during the last steps where the 10.3 upgrade tries to write the grub bootloader it gives many errors. i will upload the yast2 log directory. please do analyze the logs and fix this grub bug. i still havent managed to start this messed system. grub complains about missing bootup-screens (thats not really a problem), then the textmode grub startsup but then it gives all kinds of errors with old and new /dev/sda and /dev/hda errors and all that stuff and never boots anything. i tried to bootup some rescue / live cd opensuse and tried to look around and fix some stuff, but to no avail, im not that of a grandmaster in fixing opensuse upgrade messes :( thanks. Created an attachment (id=219640) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=219640) [details] yast2 logdirectory from 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade - grub error even when using var with label here come the yast2 logs from the opensuse 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade when using a disklabel for /var partition. --- cut --- -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 328305] New: Make "Create Image" window friendlier

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328305 Summary: Make "Create Image" window friendlier Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: ASSIGNED Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: jsuchome(a)novell.com ReportedBy: francisg(a)gmail.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com Found By: --- An idea I thought might be nice for the future. Turn the "Create Image" into a dialog box with a progress bar (I guess extra work would need to be done on tracking kiwi's progress), and above it could have the text of the relevant section, i.e.: _____________________________________ | Compressing Image... | |###################### | | Abort | |___________________________________| ..sorry for the crude portrayal. If there's an error then that small bottom pane could be shown with the error output, and on fail/success there could be a button along the lines of "View Full output" or "Save Output to File.." I think this could be nice, just an idea =) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It actually wants say that one should not use umlauts, however the way it is written (and then translated to e.g. German(!)) makes it sound like no 'special' characters like $, %, & etc should be used. Later in the text it does explain why Umlauts should be avoided more precisely but no hint is given about how good password look like (and good password should contain non-alphanumeric chars). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
