Hi, raw data[1] was published for Leap 15.3 retrospective and I use that opportunity to look into it if there is something related to yast.
General impression is that people are in general not so happy about older versions of some packages and that update repos are confusing. Also some people do not update before upgrade and there was quite lot complains about conflicts in patches caused by some SLE patches. Yast Specific feedback (unsorted): - Lack of translations EVEN THOUGH I am the (Finnish) translator! Some strings are missing even though I am sure they’ve been in the localization files for a long time. Like the system roles (KDE Plasma, GNOME, Xfce): they were translated in time for Leap 15.2 and remain translated in Weblate, so why are the strings not being used? - yast settings like ratbagctl (NOTE: in section "what is not going well" and to be honest I do not get what reporter mean, if someone has clue. Maybe missing yast module for configurable mouses? ) - I have very old hardware Dell Inspiron 1525 which had Leap 15.2 installed and the upgrade to Leap 15.3 via external USB and choosing upgrade went very smoothly. The NET image was available just a few hours after launch when I tried and I had no hiccups during the download of packages here in India. All in all this method worked well for me. ( NOTE: as negative was that zypper dup failed for that user due to need of more repos and failed to do it properly. So he do snapper rollback and use usb for upgrade ) - After installation I checked for updates and got error messages that 1. a dependency for a file could not be resolved (can't remember which one). 2. no data for NonOSS and NonOSS update repositories could be found, I then replaced the "$_releaseserver" in the URL with "15.3" and it worked - I cannot install or boot it on my laptop because of the shim issue https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185232 so I unfortunately am using Fedora until opensuse is fixed - guided installing to disk. no major changes with installer probably a good thing - The installer did not recognize my internal ssd and could not install. My device is an Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-56DJ. - 1.I did a new install.Re-install (It clears out old rubbish). It worked but the install instructions need MUCH more clarity, to BOTH reformat root"/", mount it, THEN SELECT snapshots in pop up, then select to mount swap and /home or you get mini installation in old root "/" without "/home" being added and without snapshots. 2. This ability to only add snapshots AFTER you select mount "/" is bad it needs it own clear box. The instructions should say snapshots wanted as a BOX on the page, before ticking 'mount'. then if low storage a reply "snapshots not available due storage limits" can be displayed 3. I experimented (with a friend) and found why others missed this 'snapshot' enable process. - * Yast team was always super responsive. Thanks to zypper team for fixing a lot of last minute issues. - Did an offline upgrade; the installer didn’t manage to install some packages (six libX packages, I forgot the exact ones) from the SUSE repository but otherwise successfully completed the installation. When starting YaST the first time, it notified about the missing libX-packages and prompted to install them, which it successfully did. Also there seems to be a problem with some libreoffice packages (libreoffice-icon-themes, and libreoffice localisations) being available in a newer version than the main libreoffice package, making them impossible to update. Additionally, zypper up wants to remove yast2-trans-en and install yast2-trans. YaST, however, marks yast2-trans as unneeded and wants to replace it with yast2-trans. - almost translated installer download packages while installing clever disk partitioner in installer repository filter in yast software install updates by one-click in taskbar boot linux system easily by linuxrc in installer media ( NOTE: in positive, negative follows, non yast related stuff is filtered out ) can't hide grub loading message installer will install ibus ime,but it can't change theme.installer should install fcitx mute led in keyboard isn't working kde connect can't connect to phone,I should modify firewall setting gnome edition can't display all yast settings in my pc - a) the partition manager, if you use your own layout, is... uncomfortable, at least. - 2 - the ${releasever} feature in repo file is very good - The hardware detection and driver loading part of the installing took way too long. when I try to open YaST software management and It's already being used I get a ruby error instead of a proper error message saying that it is already being used. I hope you find it useful and maybe for some issues it makes sense to create proper bug reports? Josef [1] https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.3/Retrospective
