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

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?

How are your conspiracy theories relevant to the installation progress
dialog in openSUSE?

You may be surprised, but most *users* do not care.

Please keep technical discussion technical.
