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.
