Is there a possibility to choose the default target in some proposal while installing? There is a patch in comment #0 but the patch hardcodes graphical target for Live Installer. IMO we should rather ask users and let them decide. -- 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.

It is good that it is not there in live-installer, keeping it simple is perfect way to go, adding every small option will just make it more complicated to use and maintain. - If text mode was used then add a check if yast was run in ncurses mode and default to multiuser But not getting to graphical desktop when kde/gnome live CD is installed is not very good option. I am sure live-installer is not made to handle all use cases, there is a discussion on factory ML of dropping it(yast2-live-installer package) completely so I am sure no one will complain if the default runlevel is graphical by default and they have to change it after installation. -- 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.

Anyway, thinking of it a bit more: Why to set it at all unless set explicitly by user (if possible)? Properly configured live image should have the target set already and YaST just copies the setting from the live media. There is no reason for the installer to touch the setting, or? Then the patch could look like: - ServicesManagerTarget.default_target = Target::MULTIUSER if ServicesManagerTarget.default_target.empty? + ServicesManagerTarget.default_target = Target::MULTIUSER if ServicesManagerTarget.default_target.empty? && ! Mode.live_installation (not tested) -- 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.
