Description Tobias Burnus 2007-07-17 06:27:02 UTC

The new LAN module of YaST has at top four tabs:

[Global Options][=>  Overview][Hostname/DNS][Routing]

For "Global Options", "Hostname", "Routing"
these tabs are not shown in 24x80 mode, which is a typical resolution. If one enlarges an xterm they are shown, however.

Comment 1 Katarina Machalkova 2007-07-27 07:49:01 UTC

The minimum supported resolution for yast dialogs in text-mode is 25x80 (which is default size of xterm, and afaik serial console as well). See our UI layout guide:
http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.2/tdg/bk08ch01.html We're not going to adjust our dialogs for anything below that.

But you're right that the bug you've described is present in Global Options and Hostname dialog (Routing is OK in 25x80). I know about it and I'm working on the fix.

The original problem will be fixed in yast2-network 2.15.66 and yast2-ncurses 2.15.26, but I'm leaving this bug open due to necessary string changes after the text freeze

Comment 3 Katarina Machalkova 2007-08-24 11:55:20 UTC

Karl, I need to adjust two strings in yast2-network.
The reason: they're too long to fit 80x25 console horizontally and if they contain line break, the upper dialog navigation bar disappears and it makes the whole module unusable once user switches to this dialog

Please advise how to proceed further (need updated .po files, I suppose, anything else?). Thanks

Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2007-08-24 12:14:49 UTC

If you accept me raising the severity I can accept the string changes.  Functionally seems to be seriously limited because the user might not see that there are GUI elements hidden.

Please, send the new .pot file to me (or attach it here).  If possible, within the next 2 hours ;)

New text submitted, closing as fixed then
