Dear list readers,
So my question is
Is an installation without recommended packages by definition an installation without graphical desktop or did i make a mistake while installing?
IMHO: Report in Bugzilla.
If you want your system up now, install again WITH recommended and forget it.
I *usually* make a miniminal install with recommends and then remove the unneeded "-lang" packages (English is all I require). After, I update adding packages I require with --no-recommends. And have been doing this for many years.
If a particular package appears to present problems, I inspect what zypper would have installed with "recommends" and adjust if necessary. I do not recall an instance where that has been necessary.
Thanks for your answer to my post. In the past i did as you described and - like you - had no problems neither with Leap releases nor with Tumbleweed. However it was always quite time consuming to remove packages i don't need/want. So i thought it might be better to not install them at the very beginning. So on my first attempt (still available as another installation) i not only disabled Installed recommends but removed the packages i do not want and selected those i usually want (but are not part of the normal install). This gave me a working system except that it is an english/german language mix. Although installed as German i do have menus partly in english partly in german. I can't sort out which package i am still missing to get a complete german desktop. Because i had no complete record of the changes i made during installation i made this second attempt which i kept a precise record of but that failed even worse.
