[Bug 279045] New: Alter and add CD/DVD disk access during installation script on disk read failure
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=279045 Summary: Alter and add CD/DVD disk access during installation script on disk read failure Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@tpg.com.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com When Installing from CD/DVD particularly in the scenario of a full system or update is undertaken: If there is a read failure a windows with appear with 3 option "Cancel" (????????not sure from memory) "abort" "retry" If a re-try fails to read the disk there is currently no way of ejecting the disk to clean it as the draw is locked. And to clean the possibly dirty disk means aborting the whole installation. If we change the error response to the following options "Cancel" (????????) "abort" "retry" "Eject Disk" If "Eject Disk" is chosen the CD/DVD is unlocked and opened permitting the cleaning or wipe over of the surface and re-insert>close draw>click on re-try the odds are it will read successfully and you wont have to terminate the whole install procedure. We all know only too well the best kept disks probably wont have bad scratches on but very very frequently have dust, dirt or the occasional grubby finger prints. For those who had to terminate an installation because of a faulty disk read that can be corrected by cleaning the disk - we the get really dirty on the fact they cannot access the disk during installation to clean it. This should only be a few lines of code added to an existing error level and should be very very easy to implement. This should such a feeble enhancement but one a user faced with the above would die for. -- 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.

Libzypp currently supports EJECT result only in the MediaChangeReport callback. Jano, assign it back to me when support in libzypp is ready... -- 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.
