Logs would really be helpful at this point. There's always a shell running on console 9. -- 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.

However, I think that the console, which comes up when you click out of YaST, refuses keystrokes remains a problem. -- 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.

What exactly is VMware Player doing? How comes it that there is a autoyast profile involved? How does that autoyast profile look? You could try adding "ssh=1 sshpassword=emil" to linuxrc command input field, if your vmware instance is setup up accordingly you could the ssh to the system to access y2log files. -- 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.

When VMware Player/Fusion/Workstation sees the an ISO it recognizes as OpenSuse it creates a virtual floppy disk containing an autoinst.xml file and sends Yast the command line telling it to use the autoinst file it finds on fd0. It appears from the YaST log that YaST is encountering difficulties when it tries to locate this file. From the command promot /dev/fd0 exists, and mounting it shows that the autoinst.xml file is present as expected. -- Jason Denton (jdenton@vmware.com) -- 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.

The bug is how we handle url schemes starting with "device:" or "usb:" in 13.1. I will attach a driver update disk that fixes the problem. This driver update disk can be used with e.g. adding dud=<ulr> to installation command line. As a workaround in case of a floppy image, it would also help to use "AutoYaST=floppy:///autoinst.xml" (note the three '/') instead of AutoYaST="device://fd0/autoinst.xml" since then the buggy code path is avoided. -- 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.
