https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455768 Summary: Usability problems while installing software from firefox Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bwhiteley@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development If I click on a link to download an RPM from Firefox, I'm presented with the options to install the software or save the file. If I choose to install the software, I'm asked for the root password. So far, so good. However, nothing appears to happen after entering the password. The user is left to believe that something crashed. Only after doing an 'rpm -qi <package>' and checking the Install Date, or release number, can you verify that the package was actually installed. Some sort of progress indication and a 'package successfully installed' dialog should be displayed. -- 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.

Maybe that the progress window was opened in background (below the firefox window). Could you check whether there is a new window opened after starting the installation? And please attach the Yast logs. -- 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.

There is a progress at the beginning (loading the package manager) but that's all. And also suseconfig call is missing. -- 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.
