[opensuse-factory] Latest Factory Installation YAST observations:
(Using Factory boot.iso dated 01/18/08) 1. I noticed that during installation, pop-up dialog boxes requiring user action show up in the upper left corner. Took me a while to notice it, as I kept clicking "Next" with no results. Wouldn't it be better to have this pop up in the center of the screen? 2. During partition operations, I would go into fstab options. When done, it would not go back to the primary partition window. I finally realized I needed to alt+tab to get to that window to click done before returning to the main installer window. 3. When all is said and done, I log into my new system just fine with no problems. However, when rebooting, the system goes to the second phase of Installer and says the last installation attempt had failed. I've found that if I ignore this, it will still boot into the system normally and I can log in there. Subsequent reboots do not present this error again. If I do not ignore the message and proceed to re-answer the questions (which strangely enough are already populated with my previous answers) then the error is repeated upon each reboot until I ignore the error. Then it goes away. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Same here. I noticed you mentioned nothing about effects reported in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354658 . Didn't any of them happen to you? -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Hmm... I didn't pay too much attention to those column issues since I already have personal vision difficulties using the new installer. Sometimes it is hard to determine whether the issues are mine or everyone's. :-) But I will pay closer attention to the partitioning operations the next time I install and see what happens. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I concur with this bug as well. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Problem is similarly bad on the "Installation Settings" page. The blue link text does not contrast well enough with a gray background, and the to be formatted partitions are again illegible red here. -- "Either the constitution controls the judges, or the judges rewrite the constitution."

Yes, there is a bug entry for that as well. Greetings, Stephan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I searched Bugzilla without success prior to asking the question here. -- "Either the constitution controls the judges, or the judges rewrite the constitution." Judge Robert Bork Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Hi, This is actually a feature and a bug together. 1. Feature: Second stage installation keeps restarting on reboot if aborted or failed unless user decides not to do so. 2. Bug libsax2 makes installation end crash https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354386 X-Windows configuration at the on of the second stage installation aborts YaST and boots to the system. You can easily identify it by not seeing any congratulations dialog at the end of the installation (it aborts in the hardware configuration dialog). The behavior is also visible at http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev but it's not very obvious.
