http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1150790 Bug ID: 1150790 Summary: Unexpected behavior when installing Tumbleweed without recommended packages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: hagen.buliwyf@t-online.de QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed20190824-0 with the option "Install recommended packages" disabled from the very beginning. After the first reboot i was confronted with two unexpected behaviors 1.) Instead of the expected graphical login screen i got a command line login prompt. 2.) The user interface language was a mix of english and the language i had selected at install time (german). I tried this on different hardware with identical results. One hardware configuration was: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 31,3 GiB Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB (pre-partitioned with GPT but otherwise empty) How to reproduce: ================= Boot the openSUSE Tumbleweed installation media and change the defaults of the installer as follows Language + Keyboard Layout: select "German" Network Settings: skip System Role: select "Desktop with KDE Plasma" Expert Partitioner - Start with existing Partitions => ESP (fat32), /(ext4), home(ext4) Clock and TimeZone: make no changes Local User: create a user with "Automatic Login" and "Use this password for system Administrator" both disabled Authentification for System Administrator: provide a password Installer Settings: select "Software" Software Selection and System Tasks: select "Details..." on next screen: select menu item "Dependencies" and disabled "Install recommended packages" press "Accept" and you will be presented with a list of packages to be installed pressing "OK" will bring you back to "Installer Settings" press "Install" On reboot you will be presented with a command line login prompt (althoug you selected "System Role: Desktop with KDE Plasma"). You will find that no display manager is installed. Installing sddm will give you the expected graphical login and you can login a plasma session but the user interface will be a weird mix of english and german. Going through yasts package list one by one you will discover that for many installed packages the correspondig -lang-package was not installed. What i expected: ================ to get a graphical login screen on system startup to have a desktop completely in the language i selected at install time. I asked for help on opensuse-support@opensuse.org and there were basically two contrary opinions on this matter: a) All works as expected. My choice to disable the option "Install recommended packages" from the very beginning of the installation is supposed to result in a behavior as described above. b) The behavior described above should be reported here (because it is not the expected one?). I don't know what the truth is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
