Who is in charge of Leap 15.3 initial configuration?
Could anyone tell me who is in charge of handling the initial configuration of Leap 15.3. As reported in bsc#1183125, an installation of Leap 15.3 in a VirtualBox VM does not install virtualbox-guest-x11 or virtualbox-guest-tools, and only suggests virtualbox-kmp-default. This behavior differs from that of previous versions which detected that the installation was under VirtualBox and installed these 3 additional packages. Thanks, Larry

In that context (initial config) I have a question as well: We are shipping Firefox as default browser and an openSUSE homepage. Why does this/our homepage show google as primary search engine? AFAIK is Mozilla Foundation being paid for shipping google as primary search engine. But are we? Do we have to show google as primary search engine? How about DuckDuckGo? Cheers Axel

This is about installation in guest. So the guest should detect the hardware and install the appropriate driver. I think only the installer has any logic to do that, once installed it is up to the user to install the drivers for any new hardware. Thanks Michal

In fact it is not true. rpm or libzypp ( not sure which one ) has capability to do supplements based on hardware. See e.g. nouveau spec Supplements part https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/X11:XOrg/xf86-video-nouveau/xf8... Having it in installer is possible, but it take more time and effort to keep it maintained. So having it in rpm spec file is preferred way as it works even for upgrades if you have allowed recommended packages. Josef
Thanks

I think you want to open a bug against patterns in general, that would be then openSUSE Release team. Otherwise Yast also handles some of hardware related detection and installation of related software (nvme etc...). Lubos On Wed, 2021-04-07 at 14:23 -0500, Larry Finger wrote:
