Description Holger Sickenberg 2006-10-25 11:03:02 UTC

I finished installation (via Network) an it looked fine so far. But when rebooting the system I do get following message:

"Starting Installation ...

The previous installation has failed.
Would you like to start again?"

Just answer [No].

Comment 3 Holger Sickenberg 2006-10-25 11:19:04 UTC

But this appears every time I reboot the system ...

Comment 4 Lukas Ocilka 2006-10-25 11:29:49 UTC

This is how the installation ends...

2006-10-25 12:41:34 <1> luna(4052) [agent-ppd] PPDdb.cc(setCheckMethod):1897 Setting PPD files checking to size only
2006-10-25 12:41:34 <1> luna(4052) [agent-ppd] PPDdb.cc(createdbThread):419 CreateDbThread started
2006-10-25 12:41:34 <1> luna(4052) [agent-ppd] PPDdb.cc(loadPrebuiltDatabase):1439 Database file parsed correctly by YCP parser
2006-10-25 12:41:34 <1> luna(4052) [agent-ppd] PPDdb.cc(loadPrebuiltDatabase):1670 Database contents is OK

this doesn't appear to be correct... rather something like `abort`

Miso?

Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2006-10-25 11:30:48 UTC

OK, Holger, remove the file /var/lib/YaST2/runme_at_boot

Comment 6 Rasmus Plewe 2006-10-25 12:05:01 UTC

I got a similar behaviour:
- installation failed at network test
- installation asked for root password
[I left the system for ~5 minutes]
-> I was presented with the kdm screen. The usual steps like user or hw configuration were omitted.

After a reboot, I was asked if I wanted to start again. I did, the expected steps were all there, and the installation finished. On subsequent reboots, I was not asked again to restart the installation. 

I will attach my y2logs also.

Comment 8 Michal Zugec 2006-10-25 12:21:15 UTC

This is already fixed in #214265

Comment 9 Lukas Ocilka 2006-10-25 12:39:21 UTC

Well, starting an installation again in case of previous failure is a new feature.
YaST is started again, if the file /var/lib/YaST2/runme_at_boot exist.

Rasmus, your y2log says:
  Removing /var/lib/YaST2/runme_at_boot
  Removing file /var/lib/YaST2/second_stage_failed
  Removing file /var/lib/YaST2/step

and 
  clients/installation_worker.ycp:528 Called YaST client returned: `next

This means everything went OK for the second time

Also this shows that the installation was somehow aborted:
grep "=== installation" y2log
2006-10-25 09:11:27 <1> linux(4168) [YCP] clients/installation.ycp:34 === installation ===
2006-10-25 11:44:08 <1> rumms(4176) [YCP] clients/installation.ycp:34 === installation ===
2006-10-25 12:10:05 <1> rumms(4176) [YCP] clients/installation_worker.ycp:36 === installation ===

It should always show that with line 34 (starting) and line 36 (finishing), but for the first time, there was only the line 34.

Comment 10 Lukas Ocilka 2006-10-25 12:48:54 UTC

Ah, I see... according to comment #8: Bug 214265 - YAST2 printer module crashes rebuilding the driver database -- fixed in yast2-printer-2.14.4

...and guess in which version is yast2-printer in Beta1? yast2-printer-2.14.3

Andreas: It seems that the printer module crashes the second stage installation, next time, the installation is restarted because it had crashed before. This will be very annoying for Beta1.
