Bug 793709

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.22+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Chromium/17.0.963.56 Chrome/17.0.963.56 Safari/535.22+ SUSE/12.2 (3.4.2) Epiphany/3.4.2

After a fresh 12.2 install using a USB thumb drive and the DVD image, the removable USB drive is left as an installation source. *This prevents software installation after the USB drive is removed.* (See the warning message below.) Disabling or removing the USB repo solves the problem, but the average user won't know how to do this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get the DVD installation image from software.opensuse.org and dd it to a USB thumb drive
2. Install
3. Try to install gcc - get the below warning.
4. Run YaST online update (twice)
5. Still getting the warning.
Actual Results:  
I get the following warning:

"Cannot access installation media
hd:///?device=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Edge_20052845210F4F819323-0:0
openSUSE-12.2-1.6 (Medium 1).
Check whether the server is accessible."


Expected Results:  
"Check whether the server is accessible" isn't a valid error message for this situation, for one thing, but for another the source should not be left enabled by default.

This also leads to frequent warning notifications from Apper:

"Problem connecting to a software origin

Empty destination in URI: hd:///?device=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Edge_20052845210F4F819323-0:0"


--------------------

By the way, I'm aware that there's an installation option that I *believe* disables the repo after installation?  (I didn't test that option since I already ran two installs as part of this report.) But it's not ever presented to the user - you'd have to scroll down the list of options that's presented just before installation begins to change the setting, and the average user won't even know what it means. We should make it seamless by default.
