Description Casual J. Programmer 2008-03-04 09:26:00 UTC

YaST2 Repair currently uses DefaultDesktop::SetDesktop ("text"), based on the "desktop selection", it looks for packages required.

Now I see there's no "text" value for DefaultDesktop::SetDesktop, there's only "textmode". With "textmode" it works for me.

Lukas, DefaultDesktop.ycp still contains some occurences of "text" (mainly in help texts) and some of "textmode". Please fix it to use one value.

> With "textmode" it works for me.

... it works for me on the installed system. When calling repair from the media, it doesn't work from different reasons (bug 368104)

... and tell me which value is the correct one.
Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2008-03-13 08:57:52 UTC 
All possible "desktops" are available here:

http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/yast/trunk/packager/src/modules/DefaultDesktop.ycp
  DefaultDesktop::GetAllDesktopsMap() returns map of them

See
  map <string, map> all_desktops = $[...]

(I'll fix the other comments that were not changed.)
