https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=362523 Summary: XFCE4 is not installable from textmode installation Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Xfce AssignedTo: bnc-team-xfce@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jonas@jonasbjork.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I do a Text Mode (on installscreen "Desktop Selection" I choose Other -> Text Mode) installation. When installation is finished, I log in as root and start YaST2 to install XFCE4 pattern. I get an error about "cracklib-dict-full". Can't install because of cracklib-dict-small is installed. There is no way to install XFCE4 pattern from a text mode installation. If I do the installation again and select Other->Text mode on Desktop Selection screen in installer, then I click on Software on next page and choose install pattern XFCE4 Desktop everything works. I get XDM login, and I login to fvwm2.. I had to change /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager : WM_DEFAULT to "startxfce4" to get things working. XFCE4 does not seem to be a prioritized WM in openSUSE. Installationmedia is openSUSE 10.3 DVD. -- 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 installation is finished, I log in as root and start YaST2 to install XFCE4 pattern. I get an error about "cracklib-dict-full". Can't install because of cracklib-dict-small is installed. There is no way to install XFCE4 pattern from a text mode installation.
I don't' know why Xfce should require “cracklib-dict-full”. For me, this looks like a package manager error, reassigning to libzypp maintainer ...
I get XDM login, and I login to fvwm2.. I had to change /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager : WM_DEFAULT to "startxfce4" to get things working. XFCE4 does not seem to be a prioritized WM in openSUSE.
Installing a pattern doesn't seleect the default desktop. But we're woking on a more convenient Xfce installation, see also bug 298558. -- 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.
