https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223895 Summary: YaST (Installation) - redirecting stdout/stderr to the /var/log/YaST2/run-std* Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: mvidner@novell.com ReportedBy: locilka@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: ms@novell.com, suse-beta@cboltz.de It's not easy to catch all error messages that are produced by running (broken) YaST. Some Perl modules complain about wrong commands, for instance, and there is no way how to report these errors well. One way is to find your camera and take a monitor-shot :) This could be fixed by redirecting stdout and stderr to some files under /var/log/YaST2/stdout and /var/log/YaST2/stderr or maybe even 2>>/var/log/YaST2/y2log Only redirecting doesn't make sense for same cases, so using `tee` would be probably better. There are at least two places where this should be implemented: * /sbin/yast2 * Installation startup scripts (YaST2.call) ..and maybe others. -- 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.
