Oh, this is opensuse-updater...

Bbut a similar problem exists in yast (but not that severe, yast opens a new popup for each exception so the popup wouldn't be so big). I'll open a new bug for yast...

It seems to me that this overlong error message occurs because zypper doesn't output media errors in xml format in but on stderr as text. I will open a bug for zypper.

Then opensuseupdater would show each error in a own messagebox like yast? Is this a appropriate solution for the overlong error message?

Comment 4 Ladislav Slezák 2007-08-22 11:04:06 UTC
It depends on how opensuseupdater receives the error messages.

If you receive each problem in a separate report than you should display it in a separate popup (so there will more small popups). If you are able to stop or retry the process there should be also Continue/Cancel/Retry buttons.

If you get just one complete report you should display it in a scrollable widget to have a reasonable size of the popup window.

When Bug #302428 is fixed opensuseupdater will get each error as a separate message. Opensuseupdater tries to prevent overlong error messages now (svn r6849).
