http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519329 Summary: Under a Default Application Installation there is NO "system info" - type Application Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042700 SUSE/3.0.10-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.10 The easiest was I can describe this problem is to describe what I mean by system info. In M.S Windows we have "My Computer" In KDE Konqueror we have sysinfo:// In Gnome we do not have one display that I can find that summarises the information above. The closest thing is to install the optional "System Monitor" which does give some information. If I had a gnome issue and I needed to call Suse Teck Support - how would I answer the support persons first questions like What Version of Suse are you running? What Video Card are you using? Do you have enough hard disk space left? How Much RAM is Installed in your PC and currently available? Do you have a DVD drive or only a CD or Neither? Are you running out of space on any partition? What Kernel are you Running? What type of CPU do you have - is it 64Bit - what speed is it running at? So unless I have missed something - there appears to be no sysinfo type screen to answer typical questions for trouble shooting. If someone installed Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop and selected Gnome, how does the user provide this basic information to the support assistance. I really hope I have just not found this sysinfo information application in Gnome, but if it is absent, this is a huge error and bug for both open and Enterprise Gnome Desktops which a simple patch fix could correct very quickly Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Unable to find any Sysinfo Application or Summary Expected Results: There should be an easy to activate System Summary display in an application that is clearly obvious to the user. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
