I guess this goes here.
In 11.0 when the software manager was done installing something it
would, politely, ask you whether you wanted to do anything else or close
the program. In 11.1 the thing just closes down without as much as a by
your leave, I really hate this. Is there an option to get back the old
behaviour somewhere?

The unprompted close has been added as a feature to 11.1 as others have
been requesting it.
There’s also a bug report asking to switch back to the old behaviour
that you can find here :
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421660
You could add your comments to that?

They call removing functionality a feature? Adding the option for
unprompted closing would have been a feature. Bah! i say.
Oh well, i guess i’ll see about registering with bugzilla.

I too miss this feature. Now you have to retype your password everytime.
Very annoying. Is there no way or hack to reenable it?

perhaps if they were to put a checkbox next to the “accept” button in
YaST that gives you the option to “close YaST when
installation/deinstallation complete” ?

Not if you start Yast first and then run the manager from Yast.

They should really do that. I totally dislike that new “feature”
because everytime I click the install/remove software button in Yast the
repository metadata have to be read in and cached. That costs a lot of
time and is really annoying.

Yeah… well, I’m joining your sentiment (and that of others). The bug
says enough on the devs thoughts… If they get enough requests they
might go for middle ground.
Btw. If you have an account here it should also work for bugzilla.

Another reason i do not like the new method is that i lack confidence
in the stability of computers. When the installer up and vanishes i
always have to wonder whether the installation went off without a hitch
or the instaler crashes. A nice confirmation message (perhaps ofering
the possibility of launching the recently installed program where
aplicaple) would be nice.

I agree with this statement

I totally agree. In fact, I’d go a step further and add an option “You
must restart your computer in order for the new wallpaper to take
effect. Restart the computer now or later?” Actually, I wouldn’t make
that an option, I’d make that the default, just like every serious OS
does. There!>:)

Nope. Just venting my unconditional love and admiration of Windows. Not

Won’t happen again.

Not only do they call it a feature, they are seriously annoyed with those of
us who don’t like the change, because they don’t understand why we don’t
like it. Mind you, it’s not exactly like they asked us if this was a
feature we should lose. They certainly don’t appear to be listening to us.
