Feature changed by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Feature #306240, revision 3 Title: Repair Network Connection in Automated Repair Process - openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Stephan Kulow (coolo) + reject date: 2009-03-30 21:00:22 + reject reason: network connection can usually not be "repaired". If you + have a DHCP server on eth0, it will work. If you haven't, you usually + need wlan credentials. And these I see as overkill for a functionality + usually run from the installation DVD. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Description: The Repair Installed System on the Boot/Install DVD offers "Repair Installed System" The automated repair works very very well, however if it finds an error in the RPM database it will attempt to download this info from HTTP/FTP Source. However if the Network/Internet software and config are missing or damaged the repair of missing or damaged RPM's becomes useless as it cannot access any repository that is only accessible via a working Internet connection. Firstly we need to offer the ability to repair the Network connection as part of the Automated and System Repair Tools. We dont do this currently so any error in either missing or damaged RPM fails as the RPM cannot be obtained. Then we have two new issues to enhance our current repair. 1.Where possible we need to change the process of obtaining the damaged and missing RPM to come from the DVD repository source. - Currently everything is obtained from an online repository. 2. If not possible in 1 above, our new ability to repair the network connection permits the normal call for missing or damaged RPMs from an online repository. so currently we can only repair installed system IF the Network connection is unaffected original: bnc 480755 Scott Couston -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306240
