## Observation
In this SUT we have DESKTOP=gnome in the settings, we do install gnome, but yet DESKTOP returns textmode. This is a workaround, see here : https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/ddaee0839089ecd4d0ded00425ce503fa2fb04cd/products/sle/main.pm#L142
A better solution imho would be to change this value directly in first_boot (and only within a function) so we don't change the variable everywhere. If we cannot rely on variables, it makes it really hard to predict anything.
openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP1-Installer-DVD-s390x-allmodules+allpatterns@s390x-kvm-sle12 fails in
[installation_overview](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2706786/modules/installation_overview/steps/29)
For s390x we change DESKTOP variable as a part of hack, as on s390x we cannot connect over VNC in the installed system.
## Proposal
As mentioned above, we should try to introduce workaround in place instead of main.pm. It might introduce some regressions if we use DESKTOP variable.
To see if it breaks any further tests, we can use default test suite: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?distri=sle&flavor=Server-DVD&arch=s390x&test=default&version=12-SP5&machine=s390x-kvm-sle12#settings
## Test suite description
Maintainer: jrauch
Perform an installation enabling all modules and selecting all patterns.
This test suite always registers to have access to all modules.
## Reproducible
Fails since (at least) Build [193.1](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2706786) (current job)
## Expected result
Last good: [192.1](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2685697) (or more recent)
## Further details
Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?distri=sle&version=15-SP1&test=allmodules%2Ballpatterns&arch=s390x&machine=s390x-kvm-sle12&flavor=Installer-DVD)
