But the UX is poor in such cases because in practice
it is then basically impossible for the user
to make a meaningful issue report.
As long as that red "an error occurred" linuxrc popup is still open,
you can switch to console 2 and use "save_y2logs" and copy the logs
away.
That has been clearly documented since the very first version of the
Bug Reporting FAQ that I wrote (yes, my version was the original!)
almost 20 years ago. ;-)

I know, I know, but my mail was

because what I actually wanted to do is
to "just try out something on Tumbleweed"
but that error exit interrupted my ongoing work

Just read what I wrote ;-)
SCNR too ;-)
