https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=369523 Summary: Yast Software Manager opens many short-living popup modal dialogs during startup Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: benderamp@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When Yast Software manager is started and there is a big number of 3rdparty repositories added and all of them are check during startup, yast opens modal dialogs one by one with the update progress for each of the repositories. Forgetting, that it takes rather much time to do this, the Software Manager looks totally out of control at this moment - hitting "abort" on other dialog just results showing the next one, hitting abort on the next one results showing the next dialog etc. It is easier just to use xkill at this moment, rather than trying to terminate it is a normal way. Another problem - is that in some cases this windows pop up above other windows, so I can't work when the Software Manager is started. This usually does not occur, when I just start "Software Manager" module from yast - I just go to another desktop and forget about it for a while. But when I use "one click install", those windows are popping up on the active desktop and I can't hide from them. The example of the popup window is on the attached screenshot. The best solution would be not to use popup dialogs with progress bars, but to build progress bars into the main Package Manager window - the screenshot also shows, that at this moment the Package Manager windows shows nothing except blank area with the "Initializing..." caption at the top. Moving the progressbars to this blank area and getting rid of popup dialogs would make Software Manager startup interface more solid and responsive. -- 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.
