the checking point is Tuesday, testing is until the end of the month, but seems that you will have more time than @JRivrain to take a look and we can report something already on Tuesday.
thanks for taking over!

Through which channel did you get notified on this? Is there a way to know the encryption passphrase for the image?

does it work the password in line 66 in kiwi file?

Exactly thanks!
How were we notified about the new encrypted image? Or did you check it personally?

I got this info from a meeting but this is the slack thread where you can find the best option to get the lastest info in ALP:
https://suse.slack.com/archives/C03G45KTP6W/p1663317317206779

Here are some initial findings, in order to sync with Jonathan.
Some of these are potential bug submissions.

• Service Manager takes long time to load Services
• System/ Date and Time : Takes long time initializing, and finally Region and Time Zone entries are empty.
• System/ Kernel dump : Enabling kdump (after reboot) yields errors: kdump.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
• Hardware/ System Keyboard Layout : Switching to different layout is not properly working?
• Network Service/ DNS Server : requires installation of bind but bind is not available
• Network Service/ iSCSI Initiator : Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs. Run save_y2logs to get complete logs. Caller: /usr/share/YaST2/lib/yast2 /compound_service.rb:43:ininitialize'`
• Security and Users/ User and Group Management : User and Group Configuration takes a long time
• Miscellaneous/ Display the system's log : Start module for reading the yast module > Asks to install manually yast2-journal. yast2-journal is not available
• Miscellaneous/Systemd Journal : Very poor performance

I could filter in bugzilla for bugs related with ALP with:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/buglist.cgi?list_id=13732836&product=ALP
I'm not sure about creating many bugs, because the product is still in development, but if you see something clear, we should report it or tell YaST team.

I tried to figure out how to test qt and web, no chance so far. After making sure my network setup was right, I tried installing some dependencies but it does not work

QT:
(in my WS I can use yast over ssh with ssh -X, I tried installing all the same libs + X11 as on my WS, no chance)

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

So in short, web and qt are far from working out-of-the-box at the moment.

for qt was reported by myself and other YaST developers that didn't work a couple of months ago in a Tumbleweed (but please, don't waste time in other OS different from ALP for this task). Could you check with developers if there is any new documentation?

High is fine, with urgent we got the bot reminders too often in the parent epic.

Hey Jonathan, after some trying around the way I got to the qt yast container to work:
transactional-update pkg install xauth and restart
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/sshd.conf
PermitRootLogin yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
X11UseLocalhost no

ssh -X to the alp machine
podman container runlabel run registry.opensuse.org/suse/alp/workloads/tumbleweed_containerfiles/suse/alp/workloads/yast-mgmt-qt:latest

Thanks, actually we need even less in sshd.conf, the following are enough
PermitRootLogin yes
X11Forwarding yes

I submit here a summary of the results I found for the first round of testing for ALP-VM.x86_64-0.0.1-kvm-Build13.3.qcow2 and ALP-VM.x86_64-0.0.1-kvm_encrypted-Build13.2.qcow2

YaST ncurses container image¶

The image has been tested both with podman and docker. The issues that follow are consistent with both container tools.

Issues¶

• Network Service/ iSCSI Initiator: Internal error.
  Caller: /usr/share/YaST2/lib/yast2/compound_service.rb:43:in 'initialize'

• System/ Kernel dump: After enabling kdump we have an error in the kdump.service
  kdump.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

• System/ Date and Time: Region and Time Zone entries are empty

• System/ Boot Loader: After having performed a transactional update pkg install, before reboot:
  The root filesystem looks like not currently mounted. If you have executed a snapshot
rollback, please reboot your system before continuing. Continue despite the issue?
  Same thing can happen in System/ Date and Time.

• Packages not being available despite being asked to be installed by YaST:

  • Network Service/ DNS Server asks for bind which is not available.
  • Miscellaneous/ Systemd Journal asks for yast2-journal which is not available.

Minor issues¶

• Poor performance on System / Service Manager, Security and Users/ User and Group Management, Miscellaneous/ Systemd Journal
• Hardware/ Printer: Asks for installation of cups-client. After reboot asks for installation of cups. It would be usefull to report both missing packages from the start, to avoid multiple reboots.

libyui-rest-api¶

Works with podman as expected with YUI_HTTP_PORT=8000 YUI_REUSE_PORT=1 YUI_HTTP_REMOTE=1 podman container runlabel run registry.opensuse.org/suse/alp/workloads/tumbleweed_containerfiles/suse/alp/workloads/yast-mgmt-ncurses-test-api:latest
GETing and POSTing via the api is possible from outside the machine as well.

Does not work with docker.

YaST Qt container image¶

The image has been tested both with podman and docker.

Issues¶

Same issues as above, plus one additional:

• Hardware/ System Keyboard Layout: Clicking on a different layout results in error:

  Internal error. Please report a bug report with logs.
  Run save_y2logs to get complete logs.
  
  Caller: /usr/share/YaST2/lib/y2keyboard/strategies/kb_strategy.rb:79:in `set_x11_layout'
  
  Details: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass
  
  return if x11data.empty?
  

libyui-rest-api¶

Not working: Connection refused

YaST Web container image¶

For now the yast-mgmt-web container is using a javascript VNC client to render a screen of VNC connection in the browser. We need to have a VNC connection established.
As there is currently no VNC server package available in the ALP repo, there is no way to test this container image for now.
