I wished there was an easy way how to get the error message and YaST logs out of the installation system in such cases. [...] The installation system had Internet access so if there was some YaST error exit dialog where error message and YaST logs could be sent e.g. to any email address or something similar (which the user could enter/specify as he likes),
Um, there are several problems: - Technical issues: what we should support? Email? Gdrive/OneDrive/DropBox/...? That's not simple... - Usability: For sending email you need to know the SMTP server address, port number and your username and password. I guess most people simply do not know that... And for the rest you might need 2FA which makes it quite complicated... - Legal/privacy issues: the logs might contain some private/sensitive data like passwords or registration codes (well, normally those data should not be logged, but if you run with Y2DEBUG on....), uploading that to a 3rd party server might be problematic.
then it would be easy for the user to make later (after he completed his current actual task) a meaningful issue report.
But maybe we could directly report a bug in our bugzilla and upload the logs directly. We would just need to ask for the bugzilla credentials. Ideally we could add a search functionality before reporting a bug, e.g. if YaST crashes at foo.rb:42 and we find that location in a bug title we could simply tell the user that the bug seems to be already reported, saving us a lot of work with duplicates. But I have just little experience with Bugzilla API, I do not know if that would be actually possible... -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. Corso IIa Křižíkova 148/34 18600 Praha 8
