The reasons for that are * consistency with dektop labels (GNOME & KDE use both "Cancel" as label) * conistency within YaST modules (some use "Cancel", some use "Abort" and having one label will make the work easer for translators, look the whole YaST more professional and icrease usability) * consistency with YaST libraries like popup.ycp which uses "Cancel" * "Abort" has a disrespecful connotation in English Please replace the "Abort" string in progress.ycp with "Cancel" Thanks a lot in advance! -- 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.

If the load decreases (e.g. ^C of bonnie) the interface recovers after some time and is usable with light network load (e.g. ssh). -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=405793 Summary: knetworkmanager doesn't handle vpnc well Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers(a)suse.de ReportedBy: chris.brown(a)sybase.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Other I'm using kde 3.5.9, openSUSE 11.0, 64-bit. In comparison to openSUSE 10.3, knetworkmanager has some regressions when using the vpnc plugin, as listed below. 1). No progress bar is given when trying to connect to the vpn server, and the icon doesn't change in any way once connected (if it connects). Therefore, no feedback is given to the user as to the status of the connection. 2). If the VPN server returns a message (for example, something to the effect of a 'security notice' .. in 10.3 that would be shown on the screen in a dialog box. This no longer happens in 11.0. 3). The vpn connection drops after a few seconds / minutes of use, with no indication to the end user. Command-line 'vpnc' doesn't have this problem and will stay connected for 8+ hours. -- 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.
