Description Mike Fabian 2005-08-09 10:10:45 UTC

How to reproduce:

Try to install SuSE Linux 10.0 Beta1 via SLP and choose "German,
"Japanese", or "simplified Chinese" in linuxrc.

The installation proceeds until the installation summary screen.

Then the machined searches for a long time for the packages to install
and finally fails with the message (in German):

   "Keine Quelle unter 'http://10.10.0.100/install/SUSE-10.0-DVD-Beta1/CD1/' gefunden"

The problem is the same when choosing "Japanese" or "simplified
Chinese".  I guess the problem occurs for all non-English languages
but I tried only the above 3.

It doesn't matter whether one chooses http://, ftp://, or nfs://.

When no language is selected in linuxrc (-> English) it works.

Same problem occurs when choosing the language not in linuxrc but
later in the first YaST2 screen where the list of languages is
offered.

Comment 2 Mike Fabian 2005-08-09 10:32:11 UTC

The same problem occurs when I try to install the x86_64 machine in
32bit mode.

We need the y2logs. 
 
But it seems to be a broken setup on your side.

Comment 4 Mike Fabian 2005-08-09 14:48:27 UTC

Broken setup? What setup?

Comment 5 Stanislav Visnovsky 2005-08-09 14:56:58 UTC

If the bug is real, that would mean we can't install in any language - which   
is certainly not the case.   I can't reproduce it so far. 
  
Maybe the SLP source is broken?  
  
Could you, please, attach the y2logs?

Comment 6 Mike Fabian 2005-08-09 15:08:30 UTC

Difficult now because I cannot reboot the machine at the moment.  I
could successfully complete the installation by starting in English
and then change the language to Japanese in the summary screen.

Zhe Su <zsu@novell.com> and me are currently debugging Bug #103004 on
that machine, if I reboot now I will disturb Zhe Su's debugging.

I'll reboot as soon as possible and then reproduce the problem
once more and attach the logs.

Please, reopen the bug and attach YaST logs if you reproduce it... Thanks.

Comment 8 Mike Fabian 2005-09-02 14:27:49 UTC

No, I cannot reproduce it anymore. Beta3 and Beta4 work fine
if I select Japanese or Chinese in linuxrc.
