https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248668 Summary: yast ncurses interface not equivalent to the qt-gui Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nine@detonation.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: aj@novell.com man yast2 tells: "YaST2 comes with three frontends: GTK , QT and ncurses. All frontends are functionally equivalent." This is not true. The ncurses interface is not able to do all things that the qt gui can. The ncurses interface of the software management does not feature the important options All Packages/Update if newer versions available and All in this list/Update if newer versions available. This would be the recommended way to update packages (for example from packman) and people like me, who like the ncurses interface more have a real hard time finding out about how to do that. On servers one often even does not have a qt-gui. When trying to add a new virtual machine, yast even tells one: "Virtual machine installation requires access to a graphical environment." It's currently impossible to manage xen domains with yast if no xorg (for X forwarding) is installed on the server. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
