I agree with comment by Ladislav, the best solution for users is adding the "Don't ask again" check box. Sometimes i forget to install any package and i have to launch software management again and this is troublesome, although software management is much faster since 11.0. -- 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.

Please elaborate: Why is it troublesome to simply start it again?

It still running me on the background, on the another virtual desktop. It´s my habit and i´m too lazy to start software management again ;-).

If you started it from a shell, you can simply use the shell history. If you started it from the YaST control center, that control center should still be open, and it requires a grand total of one click.

I don't start it neither from the shell nor from the YaST control center. I start it directly via the Install software. Never mind, do as you like. If you want, you can close this bug :-) -- 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.

You don't lose any data. Start-up time is quick now. Really, why can't ANYBODY accept decisions being made by the people who have to run after the bugs all the time?

The fact that something gets removed that some have become accustomed to is sure to get noticed. One situation where it's very useful to return to the software screen is when applying incremental updates (like zypper needing to be upgraded before other packages can be upgraded) or if wanting to check that updates or different versions might be available, check the changelog of a freshly installed package or just browse for extra modules you need. I think it's cutting it to short by saying you've been somewhere where others are trying to think and look at the best solution for all.... not all these things end in a hated compromise.

Sure, once you are done with that program, it shuts down. Why not? What's the problem?

We did have that "Install more packages?" pop-up in the past because the startup time was so bad, in particular with all the package management related things. But now that this has become so fast, this is no longer necessary. But quite a number of people were annoyed by that pop-up, so we removed it.

You've probably annoyed MORE people getting rid of it, Stefan. I want it back, too. I don't install all my software at once. When I add software, I tend to do it as a package at a time, so I can look at the additional dependencies, etc. I really don't like the current behaviour at all.

You apparently didn't change the action performed at exit:

2009-01-24 19:58:01 <1> linux-uigx(5805) [YCP] clients/sw_single.ycp:600 PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT: close

You have to change PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT variable in /etc/sysconfig/yast2 file either to "restart" (restart the package management after package installation) or to "summary" (display the new summary dialog, use [Back] and [Finish] buttons either to go back to the package management or to exit).

The default is "close" which is the same as in 11.1-final.
