[opensuse-factory] Network YaST unhelpful defaults especially in os installation
The defaults for YaST are nowhere near to being helpful. My wireless adapter appears to have required internet connection to work, at which point I connected Ethernet cable which didn't prompt YaST installer to continue on it's merry way. I think that the installation component should try and avoid presenting all of them settings no one but sysops cares about, which means it should involve some other app like the widget from kde start bar that tries and automates things. Given that I haven't found option for testing OS from live cd and partitioning menu (for "the experts"- since keeping other OSs is luxary only they can afford) not allowing me to give some space for it to work from (like lets sacrifice windows space, and the rest of blank space is urs), it would be fair that you actually provide diagnostics for why no automatic connection to internet was offered, and suggest that they try to connect ethernet cable as a resort. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I assume you are trying openSUSE Tumbleweed. At this point you would be expected to report exactly what wireless adapter you have, and open a bug report in Bugzilla. Why then it did not continue with Ethernet, i don't know, but again you should report in Bugzilla with the exact sequence of events to reproduce the problem. About the rest of your post, I don't really understand what you say, so I will leave it to others. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
