[opensuse-factory] Multiple repos during installation?
Is it possible to use multiple repo (like primary and update) during installation? I do not see where I can add them in installer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It's only ever been available *after* the initial installation and after the initial startup of the oS. But just to clarify what *I* mean: updates to what is being installed *has* always been in place - there is a question during the installation where you are asked if you want to do an update - but there has never been an option to *add* repos which could update what has been selected to be installed during the installation stage (if you see what I mean). Comment: I have never seen the need to do otherwise because providing such an option I imagine would result in chaos - akin to changing horses a number of time while mid-stream and while riding those horses side-saddle :-) .

I think you can swap to a console and add them using "zypper ar". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I didn't use the installer since a long time (thanks to zypper dup ;-) but in the good old times[tm] [1] there was an option to add repos (maybe it's called "Add-On"?) in one of the early steps of the installation. IMHO it makes sense to add the update repo as early as possible - you'll already get fixes for package installation (%post scripts etc.) and for the second stage of the installation. I never had any problems with adding the update repo that early (but as I said: thanks to zypper dup, I don't run the installer too often ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] IIRC somewhere around 11.1 when my laptop was still new ;-) --

Yes. That is exactly the reason I ask. If it is possible, it should really be made more obvious (or even default). You cannot expect users to fiddle with options on command line during installation. Not to mention that I cannot even test it as installer GUI crashes when I switch to tty1 under qemu :)

You can add any repository as an add-on from the installer if you know its URL. There was a RFE some time ago to add update repository into the list of add-on repositories (so that you could just select it from the list rather than having to fill in its URL) but it was rejected (bnc#342573).

That's pretty stupid. How can suse get updates to users needed to install? Back in 9.0, maybe, the installation image was broken, and you were required to get the update loaded in order to install the system. It was a royal pain. MS does it right in this case -- if you are online, it asks if you want to allow it to pull down updates as it installs. Claiming that updated software that replaces the installed software (which was broken) shouldn't be allowed because the updated software hadn't been tested is a bit ludicrous -- neither was the original install SW. The only possibility of getting a fixed version if the original is broken is via updates. If you have a chance to automatically turn that on for a user, that only makes sense. To not do that is shooting yourself (and the user) in the foot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

My experience is that the update is done in the second phase of the installation, but in certain circumstances during the second phase, the network is not working and after finishing the installation and the network is not working at that moment, you have to reboot, after which, in my experience, there is a network and you have to start an update manually. At that moment you can also add more repositories, like packman, to fine tune the system. Compared to all the other work you have to do to have a system you want to work with, this is relatively a small amount of work. You might want to do this in a shorter time, but that requires more testing and development work before the final release. Apparent the community is not able to find the resources to do that. So we have to live with this procedure. -- fr.gr.

Of course you can also break installations much easier with updates in highly unexpected ways. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

(I use DVD installation, not network install) Well, yast failed to setup network during installation, it failed the test and could not download the release notes. Thus it also skipped the repository check and updates that it can do. In my case, I tried with a laptop and wifi. I configured ifup in yast, but after boot it was using NM. No wonder there was no network. You people are talking, I think, of ativating the repos at a much earlier stage, so that installation is pulled from netowrk sources if available instead than from the DVD, in order to correct known problems. I don't like that, either. It may work for those people with fast enough network. For others, it only makea sense to do it with crucial packages that impede initial boot, like a bad kernel. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

If you have more than one network interface, it could be related to bug#809843.

Exactly. It definitely must not be obligatory (I would also appreciate if one could also avoid automatic adding and downloading metadata of standard repositories) and it shouldn't be default but it's good to have such option. Personally I almost always add update repository as an addon because it saves time (I don't have to download and install the package twice).

When you install a system with a wired Ethernet connection, the network works during installation, even during the second phase. It is only after the second phase, when you can log in or have logged in for the first time, that the network does not work if that update has not been applied. But a reboot cures that problem. I can't remember what the situation was when installing on my laptop without a wired connection. But anyway after installation and a reboot I could configure a working WiFi connection, so after that new repos could be added and all updates could be applied. -- fr.gr.

I find that updating during the installation wastes my time :-) I prefer to finish the installation from the dvd, get the system running, and start using it right away. While I configure things in the system I run the updates - instead of just looking at the screen for a long time during the installation. Of course, the installation has to work. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

It only saves some time to add the update-repo _before_ doing the installation.
I find that updating during the installation wastes my time :-) I prefer to finish the installation from the dvd, get the system running, and start using it right away. While I configure things in the system I run the updates - instead of just looking at the screen for a long time during the installation. Of course, the installation has to work. -----Original Message----- hm, if you want to avoid wasting time, why are you installing from DVD? 1) it is way slower than installing over the network 2) the dvd holds only a subset of the official installation repository Update during installation doesn't wast time, if you add the update repo ontime.

There is still a lot of people who can read from DVD (much) faster than download from public repositories. Only few months ago, I was one of them. Michal Kubeček -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

How so? If I have to download, say, 2 GiB during the installation, that's 5 hours.
2) the dvd holds only a subset of the official installation repository

During the initial installation with updates I have to sit looking at the screen, I can not use the computer. I can not be tapping at LO doing work, so that's wasted time. As I don't do installs the first month after release, they may be at least half a gigabyte of updates to wait for. The faster the installation finishes and I can start work, the better. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

I didn't use the installer since a long time (thanks to zypper dup ;-) but in the good old times[tm] [1] there was an option to add repos (maybe it's called "Add-On"?) in one of the early steps of the installation. IMHO it makes sense to add the update repo as early as possible - you'll already get fixes for package installation (%post scripts etc.) and for the second stage of the installation. I never had any problems with adding the update repo that early (but as I said: thanks to zypper dup, I don't run the installer too often ;-) -----Original Message----- Indeed, the older the release is, the more sense it makes. I always include the "update"-repo when doing an install. You avoid installing packages that will be replaced during a concequent update. So for factory it doesn't makes sense, but even for 12.3 it saves (some) time... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You cn during an offline upgrade (DVD), but I have not tested it recently. It did not work well. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
