[yast-devel] new classes in Yast2 - Execute and TargetFile
by Josef Reidinger 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi, I happily announce that today was merged two new features to yast2.rpm. The first one is Execute class. It is basically wrapper around Cheetah library with all its features[1]. What wrapper did is basically 1) set yast logger 2) in on_target varient operate on chroot specified by destdir option ( can change in future to parse real chroot specified in WFM call ) 3) open report popup if command failed for implementation see [2] and for example usage see [3]. The second one is TargetFile which is mainly useful with new CFA gem. It adds default file handler to CFA that respect changed root ( so if something need to be done really locally it have to specify default file handler to ::File ).[4] [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/cheetah [2] https://github.com/yast/yast-yast2/blob/master/library/system/src/lib/yast2… [3] https://github.com/yast/yast-bootloader/blob/7c2e08823fdbf3b951fb183188d986… [4] https://github.com/yast/yast-yast2/blob/master/library/system/src/lib/yast2… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] Feedback needed: users screen
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

After getting some bug reports about usability of the "create user" screen during installation we have decided to do something about it... but it's not so easy. The current status ================== Here you can see the current screen. http://paste.opensuse.org/29576621 There is quite some functionality hidden there: A) You can select the password encryption method (clicking on "Change...") B) You can select one of only one of these options: B.1) Create a user (Obvious) B.2) Skip user creation (Leaving the form blank and clicking "Next", a confirmation popup will be displayed "This only makes sense in environments with an authentication service. Are you sure?") B.3) Import users from a previous installation. (Clicking on "Change..." and then checking the corresponding checkbox -only visible if users are detected- under the section "authentication method") B.3 is so well hidden that I wouldn't be surprised if nobody uses it or if the feature is full of bugs. Last but not least, the dialog exposes a feature that is not there. The summary suggest that you can change the authentication method, but the only supported option is "local /etc/password". The option is there only to display B.3 (tricky!!). My proposal =========== First of all, I'd move (A) to the final installation summary screen, where we already have things like installing the bootloader on MBR or disabling the firewall, configuring hardware and so on. It's one of those advanced settings that most users will not touch. About B, that's how the proposal would look like... ...if no previous users were detected http://paste.opensuse.org/79458151 ...if a partition with users is detected http://paste.opensuse.org/10570162 Hopefully, everything is self-explanatory with this approach. The problem is that the last screenshot looks too crowded (maybe too much for same verbose languages). But I not sure if I like the alternatives we discussed in irc: - Tabs are discouraged (if not forbidden) in the installer - Displaying a pop-up and/or an additional previous step for importing users if they are detected can be tricky when going backwards and doesn't provide such a good overview about the 3 options. I need to hear (read) more opinions... and I want to fix it this week. So let's keep the conversation realistic :-) Cheers. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[yast-devel] RFC: Yast Logging Format
by Lukas Ocilka 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi Yasters, There's a new feature in the feature tracking tool that requests Yast to log in the same format as dmesg and journalctl. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Business Case: Easier to analyse logs in bug reports. Description: YaST should log the time in its log-file like 'dmesg' and 'journalctl --output short-monotonic' so that times in the various logs can be compared and events can be synchronized. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I don't want to spoil your mind by the feature itself as there is already some discussion happening. What I actually want is you to think a bit deeper about this request from your POV. What would it change for us or others, what would it be good or bad for, what the requester actually wanted and how to make them happy and the team as well if possible. Thanks in advance Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, Systems Management (Yast) Team Leader SLE Department, SUSE Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
