[Bug 220243] New: Customer registration contacts server for details
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220243 Summary: Customer registration contacts server for details Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: volker3204@paradise.net.nz QAContact: jsrain@novell.com During customer registration, one expects the "details" button to say what information will be transmitted to Novell. However, the first response on clicking the button is "contacting server". That's not the right way round, and there shouldn't be difficulty in already knowing what info will be transmitted. The resulting window says: "* Installed Desktop Enviroment: (command: installed-desktops)" But there is no such command installed-desktops. And note the spelling mistake in "enviroment". -- 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.

Having yast "contact the server" to find out what will be given to the server before actually doing so is unexpected. find / -mount | grep installed-desktops finds no such command. There is only one partition. It should be spelled "Environment".

During customer registration, one expects the "details" button to say what information will be transmitted to Novell.
FYI, Volker: By design we can only show what 'could' be transmitted. This list will never be 100% correct (but the guess is quiet good :). Until that point one did not enter any "Activation Code" so the server does not know what further information has to be provided by the user/customer. -- 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.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220243 ------- Comment #7 from mc@novell.com 2006-11-20 06:15 MST ------- "installed-desktops" is a virtual command. It does not realy exists on the desktop. If suse_register get this command it evaluate the installed patterns a find out which desktop enviroment is installed. You can have a look at the source code (/usr/bin/suse_register) if you want. I know that this is not realy nice and we try to give a better view on the sent data for 10.3. -- 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.
