action #49703
Updated by JERiveraMoya about 5 years ago
Motivation ---------- Currently There are several cases where we cannot switch to a root console when we are in an installation, however being able to switch to a console can be very useful. This is following [poo#45020](https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/45020), in which what appeared to be a follow-up of [poo#45020](https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/45020) very trivial change, ended up as we had real hard time to exclude some remote installations for that reason. find what should be excluded or not, and two reverted PRs. Acceptance criteria ------------------- * **AC1:** Cases where a switch to console is not possible at all are identified. At the moment that we know about, vnc, ssh. * **AC2:** Adapt the current select_console mechanism to those particular more cases or all cases. Further details --------------- It seems so far that the only cases where we cannot switch to root are on hyperv, and for remote installations (remote_ssh_controller and remote_vnc_controller). But more verification would be wise.
