[Bug 678650] New: suse 11.4 installer cannot install openSUSE without windows domain
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678650 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678650#c0 Summary: suse 11.4 installer cannot install openSUSE without windows domain Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mlg7@yandex.ru QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=418672) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=418672) I cannot bypass that screen User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.107 Safari/534.13 I am installing openSUSE 11.4 (just released) in the VirtualBox (network installation). Everything was ok until I got to the "Windows Domain Membership" screen. I do not want to join any Windows domain (by the way, it requires following specific guidelines about computer names, and I have not yet been asked for a computer name.) Anyway, I want to avoid entering a domain or workgroup, but it seems that it is not an option. When I press the "back" button, it goes to "automatic configuration" and back to the windows domain. I press "help" button, but it does not say anything useful. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 2. At the Windows domain membership, do not provide any domain passwords (assume that you don't know any) 3. try to install SUSE without joining any windows domains Actual Results: The installer asks to provide a valid Windows domain name and a valid administrator password. I do not have any. Expected Results: Bypass Windows authorization, leaving all windows-related options unconfigured until I decide that I need Windows domain. I say it's critical because it prevents me from using SUSE. In fact, it hangs on that screen. -- 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.

Yes, there's a bug here that the screen cannot be skipped:
When I press the "back" button, it goes to "automatic configuration" and back to the windows domain.
but that seems to be all. The first part (selected Samba, but do not want to use it) does not look like an error to me. Lukas, what do you think about that part of skipping interactive YaST module opened from automatic configuration? Looks like we do not have a solution for this... -- 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.

I think we could actually use Abort button to abort current step instead of aborting whole installation, but this seems like quite a big change... -- 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.

But this is not part of automatic configuration, it's interactive. And yes, aborting that module aborts whole installation. But I thought about simpler solution and I'll make it possible to abort/skip from the inst_user client module. -- 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.

I don't think this is relevant. He just chose Windows Domain Membership in the first stage of installation but did not want to configure it at the time of its regular configuration. To me, this looks like an invalid scenario. Could you please confirm? However, I think we should make it possible to skip such step, but it's going to be fixed in Factory (after 11.4) -- 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.

Aborting during LDAP/Samba/NIS/Kerberos setup does not mean aborting of the installation. -- 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.
