Description Mathijs Tieleman 2006-05-20 09:59:24 UTC

When not updating directly after the installation, when Opensuse asks for updating, it would be more than nice when starting opensuse that he will ask it again.

Not having updated it directly, it resulted in a non-configured update setup. It would be nice having opensuse report this to the user and helps getting it configured.


Kind regards.

The distribution is still named "SUSE Linux" - openSUSE is the project around it. Adjusting summary ;-)

Enhancement for KDE/Gnome, adding Klaus into CC.

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2006-05-22 17:35:27 UTC

can't follow you what this has to do with KDE/GNOME.

Comment 4 Michael Gross 2006-05-24 11:57:38 UTC

OK then let's ask the YaST maintainers, some program/tool would have to be started (maby the YaST registration module itself) at the first login after the installation.

Why should an additional application report, what you (the user) choose during installation??
If you choose to not configure the online update, then you will get an unconfigured onlie update setup. Right as you wanted it to be.

IMHO, the packagemanagement should report on the first attempt to install updates/patches that an installation source for updates/patches is missing.

I installed suse without having an internet connection (I need ndiswrapper for my wireless card). 

As far as I could see, no updating of the OS was activated, without manually starting an update session. This could lead to a non-auto-updating system. For suse its better if most systems are setup with automatic updates enabled, because of future security issues.

So, first, it would help the user to think about activating the automatic update option and it will increase the number of auto updated systems, which is a good thing looking at security.

We have the opensuse-updater now and it will remind the user that there is no update source registered.
