I agree with Ralph. Darryl, you're being unduly harsh to Ralph and Richmond. It should not be necessary to look at some web page to understand the information the GUI is presenting. It seems to be a clear YaST bug.
I don't believe I am being harsh on anyone. It isn't necessary for anyone to look at some web page; I have already done that, and the solution has been posted several times. I posted the URL to that SDB article in case anyone needed clarification or more detail.
So you are saying people should read the opensuse mailing list to see how to configure the system? I think the confusion here is that you are answering a question I didn't ask, namely, how to change the display manager with Yast. In fact I had already changed the display manager before I posted to this list, and included an instruction on how to do it. My question was why was the method changed, and why was the old broken method left in there like a trap for the unwary? If you had done things right in the first place and consulted the SUSE Database, would we even be having this inane discussion?
I don't know why the sysconfig entry is still there, and why its wording is the same as forever. I have a guess or two, but if I mention those, probably this thread will go on forever. As a hint, though, Leap 42.3 is still in support, and that may have something to do with it. If for any reason that sysconfig entry is still needed, could it have been amended to included a statement, "Deprecated for Leap 15+. Use Misc/Alternatives instead"? Of course, and it probably should have been. So instead of carrying on in this thread, you could have done something useful like sending a note to the YaST team, or opening a bug report. @Dave Howorth: /now/ I am getting harsh. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
