Hi all, I would like to understand this better from a UX perspective. What action can a user take during installation to remedy a situation in which some package couldn’t be installed? What circumstances lead to these failures? Is this information available in a log file? What action can a user take during installation vs after? Is the “normal” linux text boot still accessible by a switch at the bootloader stage? Best regards, Kenneth From: Lukáš Krejza <gryffus@hkfree.org> Date: Tuesday, 5.

Hi,
Josef, yhis was really a very, very bad decision. I just installed the first SP4 system and the new progress display is a nightmare.
I can confirm that from posts on openSUSE forum new progress information got rather negative acceptance. I fully agree with Frank. When installing, I need to see the RPM output in case something goes wrong and I also want to see which package(s) is/are currently installing, its/theirs size and preferably progress bar. I also need to have access to release notes during the instalation. More information is always better, especially when installing. Is there a _technical_ reason to hide this information from me or the users?
This is not MacOS or Windows where people are intentionally kept dumb.
How are your conspiracy theories relevant to the installation progress dialog in openSUSE?
This is Linux where we are used to see what's going on and get detailed information.
You may be surprised, but most *users* do not care. Please keep technical discussion technical. Regards, Gfs on the road
