[yast-devel] Dialogs integration
by Ricardo Cruz 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Hi, This has been discussed a few times before, with regard to the buttons order; having a specialized API for dialogs. There is one more good reason to it: accessibility software. It seems like Orca has some functionality for message dialogs: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346987#c21 Maybe we could go with something like this: `MessageDialog ( `warning|`error|`information, heading, text, some_widget|nil, `ButtonsBox ("Ok", "Cancel", ...) ); Cheers, Ricardo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Tiny URL for "People were very unhappy because I only wrote..."
by Lukas Ocilka 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

Hi, I've just created a new Tiny URL for http://en.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ# >> People were very unhappy because I only wrote "see subject" in the Bugzilla bug description - but my subject really explains it all! Isn't it pure nitpicking to insist on bug reporters repeating that in the description field? It is http://tinyurl.com/24zvkc I wish if it only was something easier to remember! :) And why did I do that? Well, I don't think that the long URL makes anybody happy :) and we use it quite often in bugzilla :) ;) Have a nice day L. -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano. Moudry rozkaz. Sam jsem nemel v tech gratulacich jasno.

[yast-devel] Agents compatibility (new) 'process' vs. (obsolete) 'background'
by Lukas Ocilka 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi, I've decided to follow suggestions in my y2log that made an advertisement for the new 'process' agent. My first thoughts were just to replace .background with .process and see what would happen ;) It doesn't need to be emphasized much that this will probably not work at all (hope dies last [but it still dies!]). If you use the 'background' agent, you will need to read at least this: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/core/agent-process/conf/process.scr more can be seen also here: http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/core/agent-process/doc/process.html --- some examples --- Execute(.process.start_shell, "command") returns PID of the process "command" (if started) Read(.process.running, process_PID) returns whether the process with PID process_PID is still running Execute(.process.start_shell, "command", $["C_locale":true, "tty":true, "env":$["FOOVAR":"FOO"]]) similar to the first example but in a special environment --- some examples --- Have a nice day :) ;) :) L. PS: It might be good to write a blog entry or a wiki article about this new agent ;) -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano. Moudry rozkaz. Sam jsem nemel v tech gratulacich jasno.

[yast-devel] Re: [yast-announce] factory (alpha2 too?): subtle SCR bug confuses mostly yast2-users
by Lukas Ocilka 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Martin Vidner napsal(a): > Hi, > > please watch out for this bug. > As soon as Wizard::SetDesktopIcon is called, yast will fail to find > agents that was not used yet. Workaround: disable that call somehow. > I hope to have a fixed package today. Several YaST modules might be affected, for instance YaST Runlevel: Bug 366355 - yast2 runlevel doesn't show any services https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=366355 YaST shows these lines: Couldn't find an agent to handle '.init.scripts.runlevel_list' Couldn't find an agent to handle '.init.scripts.current_runlevel' Couldn't find an agent to handle '.init.scripts.default_runlevel' Couldn't find an agent to handle '.init.insserv_conf' Couldn't find an agent to handle '.init.scripts.runlevels' Couldn't find an agent to handle '.init.scripts.comments' SCR::Read() failed After checking that agent for init.scripts exists and discussion with mvidner, I tried a simple hotfix: --- cut --- - Wizard::SetDesktopIcon("runlevel"); + Wizard::SetTitleIcon("runlevel"); --- cut --- ... and YaST Runlevel started working! This problem appears in FACTORY only but you still might get strange bugreports similar to the one I got. Have a nice day Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano. Moudry rozkaz.
