Description Scott Couston 2009-08-14 09:52:24 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042700 SUSE/3.0.10-1.1.1 Firefox/3.0.10

Login fails - which user login do you want here as there are file installations from DVD and update servers, local users, root users, Novell Account Users, Fate Users, Wiki Users

From a usability option the application opens before any help text can be physically activated, normally at the time when, the installation of program pauses to ask for a NetWork Bridge to be configured.

With my very poor and uneducated mind, it may be a good idea to have the help, and its expanded form be present with Hypertext URL references to a Suse.de Site.

When I took NetWare 2.15 CNE, we spend days of the limitations and issues related to comms packet bridges between servers and this is nothing to ever be covered up with the poor poor user and offer NO URL HYPERLINK SITES that should be in a web site that can reference sites to expanded suse.de AND actually provide the help.

Having not so much as the user being able to enter this application and functionally be designed the ability to look up just what they are doing is criminal.

VM Ware is complicated enough with poor and 3rd rate script writing in a candidate this is already in production???????????
Words fail me, and when I was about level in pecking order of a huge development shop this module and I got it so very wrong - I would would have been send back to Australia on the next plane, with my tail between my legs; would never be contracted out for 5 tears, and made to pay out of my pocket for the man hours to re-write in a totally usable for that worked - or at least logged in.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected Results:  
It gets tested before getting anywhere near close to release

Comment 2 Scott Couston 2009-08-14 20:31:05 UTC

After I re-booted from Xen, and logged in as root, I executed Yast from command as the boot from Xen dumped me at a login prompt.
I executed the, now present, Create Virtual Machines and was presented with a shell script to configure my first VM. The script was presented as a text (huge cgi type letters) and was a line editor. Being a line editor, a response to a question on configuration that was mistyped, had to be backspaced erased and re-typed.

I completed the script with as much information as I could then halted the PC.
I re-booted the PC and logged in as root from a command prompt and nothing happened.

Words fail me that we cannot present a GUI install, configuration etc, and provide no help and NO way of removing the hypervision tools that were created in Yast.

I would strongly recommend that at least, we have a 'de-install of 'Hypervision' next to the Yast Installation.

Comment 5 Ladislav Slezák 2009-08-31 14:13:18 UTC

Scott,

- to remove Xen related packages see 'Xen Virtual Machine Host Server' pattern
- VM installation is started in text mode when there is no X server available (eg. X not installed or the installed is started on a console)

How and where did you start the VM installer?

Comment 6 Scott Couston 2009-08-31 19:21:51 UTC

The installation of Hypervision .RPM was done via Yast in a KDE default Winndow. After installation I re-started the PC via 'ZEN' which was added to grup menu. I was dumped at a console prompt as NO X Server was able to start after ZEN loaded. I was at a console prompt and a 'Line Editor' to run the 'Create Virtual Machines' shell script.

Comment 7 Scott Couston 2009-08-31 19:24:59 UTC

I can try copy and paste the shell script if you would like to view what I saw? I can use keyboard controls to copy I think should work.

Comment 9 Ladislav Slezák 2009-09-22 13:16:19 UTC

The behavior is correct IMO and solutions were provided in comment #5.

Closing as INVALID.
