*** Bug 100459 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Verified with Cambridge-9.0.93.0. Cancel will exit entire program instead of taking you back to the main interface. I also encounter this bug with Red Hat Severn. After clicking cancel, the program shuts down as described above. Afterwards, I cannot access the CD-ROM's file system untill I mount it again. I can repeat that as often as I want: the CD gets somehow unmounted everytime I try to install packages using this GUI. This also seems to occur when attempting to install packages directly from the cd using nautilus. Any package that has a dependency causes the installer to crash and immediately unmount the cd. Packages without dependencies install without problems. *** Bug 100961 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can concur that any installation from autorun _which requires a dependency_ will cause a constant repetition of "insert Disk #", with a *very* breif flicker of the CD drive light, and then the dialog just disappears, without *any* error message. *** Bug 101535 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 101080 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I don't know if this is the same issue, or separate, but I've burned a Severn beta 2 DVD made with Chris Kloiber's script (ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber/mkdvdiso.sh). I can mount the disc, but redhat-config-packages doesn't try to use it (on my beta 2 machine). Either this is the same issue, or it's a different one because redhat-config-packages might not support DVD's yet (although I hear RHEL supports them, so maybe it should?) FYI, the .discinfo file looks like: 1064433227.89 Fedora Core 0.94 i386 1,2,3 RedHat/base RedHat/RPMS RedHat/pixmaps I just installed Severn test 3 (0.95), still the same proplem, any package ( at all, tried them all ) makes it behave like that, this maybe doesn't matter to much since apt-rpm solved the problem for me, it still is annoying. I use: redhat-config-packages-1.2.5-2 The bug is still present in the latest beta (Fedora Core Test / RH 9.0.95). The only way to install packages is either via the console, or by opening a window with the CD contents and clicking on the icons. IMHO, this is not just a minor annoyance, but a serious lack of performance in a *necessary* system tool. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 105767 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
