Description Felix Rommel 2007-06-24 13:29:22 UTC 
Description:

If I click on "Install software" in Gnome's main menu nothing happens.

How to reproduce:

1. Click on "Computer"
2. Click on "Install software"
3. Nothing happens

Expected behavior:

YaST2 software installer should start after clicking on this item. It also does NOT work under 10.2 if I use openSUSE package management instead of ZEN stuff.

Does this always happen:

Yes

Scott, is this solved now the same way as the control center issues were?

I don't have an alpha7 box to try this on and see the exact error, but it's almost certainly the same error with the package-manager. This is now fixed in Beta3.

Of course you can't test it because the icons are missing due to Bug #302324. You can trivially fix that though by running the application-browser, type "install software" to filter down to that tile, then right click and "add to favorites". Then from the favorites section you can drag it into the System section. From there you can see it's working (hopefully on your box also).

 QA machines with have the icon seem to work.  The missing items can continue in the other bug.
