Description edgar nielsen 2005-12-17 01:05:21 UTC
OpenSuSE 10.0
Reproducible on multiple machines

Unable to set the runlevel from the default runlevel 5 to runlevel 3.
I have tried both formats that supposedly should work:

  <runlevels>
    <default>3</default>
  </runlevels>

  <runlevel>
    <default>3</default>
  </runlevel>

I have tried them together and separately but no permutation works.
Does not work in any of my configurations, server or desktop.

My current workaround is to have confirm turned on, then fix it
in the GUI before proceeding with installation, but that
makes the autoinstall process less useful!

thanks,
edgar nielsen

OK, here are the attached yast logs as a compressed tarball.

I did not manually touch the runlevel, I let
it get set by autoyast.
Here is what got set:
grep default /etc/inittab
# The default runlevel is defined here
id:3:initdefault:

Hmmm, that is interesting! The Yast installation GUI said the runlevel
will be 5, even though I had said 3 in my autoyast config file.
Perhaps the bug is that the GUI doesn't reflect the settings
in the autoyast config file for runlevels?
Or is it getting set to 3 because my installation does not
have any X installed?

Will have to run a test on a desktop autoinstall.




Also attached is my yast xml file, albeit with
passwords and such modified for security.....


thanks,

Indeed, it looks like it works correctly with my desktop autoyast, 
but it is not reflected in the autoyast gui. 

I'll let ya'll decide if that is a bug in autoyast/yast or
if just a matter for documentation.
