Description Jiri Dluhos 2006-03-21 09:52:08 UTC
It would be very useful to have a pop-up window that appears when a YaST module fails or experiences an error (it would contain the same error message that is printed to the console). Many times the user does not run YaST from console, and this would help finding what happened.
Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-03-21 14:20:47 UTC
Stanislav: Would this have to be implemented in each module seperately or just in the base program?
Comment 2 Stanislav Visnovsky 2006-03-22 09:09:14 UTC
What kind of scenario are you talking about?
Comment 3 Jiri Dluhos 2006-03-22 14:10:16 UTC
Let's say I am a common user, running YaST from the X windows menu; when a module fails and crashes for whatever reason, I see that its window disappears without any notice. I would like to see a pop-up window saying that the module crashed, and why.

Reopening for reassign.
Comment 6 Stanislav Visnovsky 2006-08-09 12:44:19 UTC
Either yast2-core or yast2 startup script.
Comment 7 Jiri Srain 2006-08-18 12:20:59 UTC
Latering again

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
