[opensuse] 11.1 yast2 ncurses sysconfig editor is still broken
Listmates, 11.1 is just plain frustrating! Every time I boot it up I end up filing another bug report on things that have worked since 8.0? The latest is the sysconfig editor. You can't add an apache2 module now we are going to have to break SuSEConfig's check of /etc/sysconfig/apache2 by manually editing the file. The bug is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474650 Details: With Bugs 457093 & 461868 marked FIXED I tried using the ncurses sysconfig editor again, this time attempting to set network -> www -> apache2 -> APACHE_MODULES to add the deflate module. There is no way to add anything or even get to the text entry line just exactly like the two bugs above. I have installed all updates. Am I doing something wrong or is the ncurses sysconfig editor still broken? I presumed that the operation of the sysconfig editor was fixed when the two bugs above were marked FIXED or did nobody check the sysconfig editor's operation beyond the DAILY_TIME variable? Please check and confirm that I'm really not the one doing something stupid here (yes I'm running it as root, not sudo) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Thanks Sylvester, Perhaps it's just an x86_64 issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I figured the problem out. The problem is that the sysconfig editor's behavior has changed from the historical norm of highlighting the sysconfig value to change in the list on the left and then pressing 'tab' to edit the value on the right. The sysconfig editor has worked that way all the way up through 11.0. The changes that were made are likely to cause configuration changes because you now have to hit 'return' before you are able to 'tab' over and change the list. So instead of the normal 'tab', now a 'return'+'tab' is required. A nasty side effect of this change is that if you highlight and hit 'return' on say a ClamAV value and then scroll down and highlight an apache2 value and 'tab' over to the input field, even though you went through apache2, you are still editing the ClamAV value because no 'return' was entered when you scrolled down through apache2. This is a problem that needs to be fixed. The 'tab' operation should be restored to normal. You should never be able to scroll down through an apache2 list, tab over and be editing an ClamAV value. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
