[Bug 329702] New: yast2-repair module broken
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329702 Summary: yast2-repair module broken Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: jsuchome@novell.com ReportedBy: jsuchome@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: odabrunz@novell.com Found By: --- yast2-repair doesn't run on GM because of recent change in the API of yast2-bootloader (ReadFiles function from lib_iface.ycp called from bootloader_routines.ycp) Olaf, which parameter should yast2-repair use while calling this function? The fix is probably easy, the update of GM most probably not. We should release an online update for yast2-repair, but the main problem is the module that is present on installation media (used to start Repair instead of installation). Is it possible to fix this (using driver-update disk)? -- 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.

As already wrote above, that "FIXED" is related to the fact that the fixed version of yast2-repair was released as online update, so it is available for users who want to run it from installed system. Yes, it doesn't help the users who are not able to boot the system, as stated in early comments.
My point EXACTLY, nothing is fixed. The people that need it the most can't use it
But AFAIK there will be driver update disk released, that should fix even this problem.
Here we are, months after the GM release and that has not happened either so the many people that downloaded the GM release who have a problem and cannot get 10.3 to boot (and thus cannot download the 'fix' either have NO way to fix their problem except to use Knoppix or other repair method. The repair program on the GM release disk IS NOT FIXED, a substitute (remastered disk) was never released, a 'driver update disk' to use your words, was not released, the repair options using released 10.3 GM disks depend on successful installs followed by successful downloads of patches which don't fix underlying problems in the repair modules anyhow, only the API that allows you to call it which doesn't really matter because you have already had to use other means to fix the system in order to be able to do the download and patch in the first place.
And please, do not mix more problems into one report. That doesn't help with finding solutions.
I wasn't the one that characterized this bug report as "yast2-repair module broken", If you wanted to limit it so it was unambiguous then perhaps you could have said 'API calling repair module fails on GM release' or some such, but when you say the yast2-repair module is broken, you are right, it is and it still is even with the patch to enable calling it. The patch only enables calling a still broken module that doesn't do many of the things a repair module is supposed to do. Don't get on my case for managements' bad decisions or for having been the one to characterize this bug as 'yast2-repair module broken'. I only maintain that to say it is resolved is SEMANTICS. To properly resolve 'the proper bug' would have been to implement Comment #1 at a minimum, ideally to simply remaster the GM and the problem would have been moot. -- 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.

... has anyone at Novell/SuSE GmbH given any thought to the recommendation to create a 10.3 specific wiki entry as an interim (with suggested work arounds), or is that up to the opensource support community for SUSE?
Reference this comment #13, a "work around" wiki was created for openSUSE-10.3 users who overwrite their grub: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Howto_repair_boot_manager_Grub_on_opensuse_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.
