But the whole discussion misses the point, which is that the desired behaviour of a machine that has a display and a user when encountering a fault is likely to be different to the desired behaviour of a server with no user in front of it.
I think you have a good point, never mind that I don't know what to do about it.
Well I'd guess that a better behaviour on a desktop m/c would be to come up to the desktop and then present a widget of some kind explaining what was wrong and offering possibilities for dealing with it (e.g. ignore it, fix it somehow, shut down, WHY?). As a second best, instead of failing the boot it could pause it and offer similar options whilst describing exactly what was wrong. Then retry the boot from that point after the USB stick was plugged in or it was marked as nofail or whatever. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
