Description Ivan Rancati 2005-11-09 07:31:26 UTC 
I think this message was in 10.0 also and I never really got it

...
You cannot change the medium if it is used by the system.
If it happens during installation, start manual installation
...

If it happens what?? That a media is defective?
Comment 1 Ladislav Slezák 2005-11-09 09:13:57 UTC 
No, in some conditions you cannot change the medium because it is in use (the root file system is mounted when the system has low memory).

Rebecca, are the sentences too complicated? What do you suggest?
Comment 2 Rebecca Walter 2005-11-28 12:12:53 UTC 
I think I need some more information about when the user sees this message.  Can you give me some example situations of when this opens?
Comment 3 Andreas Jaeger 2006-03-24 08:50:21 UTC 
Ladislav, please take care of this...
Comment 4 Rebecca Walter 2006-03-24 11:14:33 UTC 
Sorry, with everything else that has happened this release, we lost track of this bug.  We will fix it, but the fix will not appear until a later release.  Changing it now would break translations.
Comment 5 Bodo Bauer 2006-04-24 12:29:39 UTC 
Closing as LATER...
Comment 6 Rebecca Walter 2006-07-17 08:25:34 UTC 
Reopening so we can resolve before next product
Comment 7 Rebecca Walter 2006-07-17 08:28:58 UTC 
Ladislav, do you have time for us to work on this issue?

If I understand correctly, this pop-up appears when you try to change the medium to check another one while it is mounted.  Is this correct?  If so, can we say something like:

"The medium is currently mounted so cannot be changed.  To check a series of media during installation, start manual installation..." (whatever else more we say here)
Comment 8 Jonathan Arnold 2007-09-08 20:01:33 UTC 
I agree, as I was going to report this error. During installation, the left hand panel of the "Media Check" screen says this. As Rebecca reported, I have no idea what the second "it" means - "If it happens" - what is the 'it' being talked about? Personally, I don't think this entire Note belongs on the Media Check page.
I don't think it (ha ha) applies to the media check.
Comment 10 Thomas Roelz 2008-03-25 16:58:08 UTC 
Ladislav, any news here?
Comment 11 Ladislav Slezák 2008-03-26 07:16:25 UTC 
I propose this text:

    // help text - media check 6/7
_("<P><B>Note:</B> You cannot change the medium while it is used by the system. 
To check a series of media during installation, start manual installation
and select the media verification item in the menu.</P> 
")

I hope it is better...
Comment 12 Ladislav Slezák 2008-03-26 07:31:46 UTC 
Oh, openSUSE-11.0 has slightly changed the installation workflow, media check is present in the boot menu, the yast module is not part of the installation anymore.

There should be this text:

    // help text - media check 6/8
_("<P><B>Note:</B> You cannot change the medium while it is used by the system.</P>") +

    // help text - media check 7/8
_("<P>To check media before starting installation use the media check item in the boot menu.</P>") +
Comment 13 Ladislav Slezák 2008-03-26 14:26:12 UTC 
Fixed in yast2-packager-2.16.28
Comment 14 Swamp Workflow Management 2009-10-30 09:35:23 UTC 
Update released for: yast2-packager
