zypper search flash found it just fine, but when I tried to install it, and said yes to install the package, an agreement page came up, shown with less.
As far as I can tell, the only way to get out of this page is to press 'q',
Yes, i realize by now, that there is no hint for the user about what to do to quit the pager. We'll keep this bug in order to fix this. Maybe it would make sense to fix this even though the message will not be translated (too late for that), since the license texts are not available in many languages anyway :O)
which makes zypper abort with a message about the agreement not being accepted.
This has been fixed already in bug 390027.
Could it be that the keyboard buffer is not cleared after exiting less and my 'q' gets fed to zypper as well?
The problem was something with cloning the stdin for the less process. Using the same stdin as zypper solved it. I don't know the details, Josef knows more :O) -- 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.
