#3360 closed bug (fixed)

[InstallCD] Should show the shutting-down dialog when restarting

Reported by: Adek336 Owned by: korli
Priority: normal Milestone: R1/beta2
Component: Applications/Installer Version: R1/pre-alpha1

Description

Restarting takes a long time, it looks like it hung, after you either decline the license or finish the installation and press Quit; there should be the Restarting dialog you get when you use Restart from Deskbar.

The boot cd script ends with the following command: /bin/shutdown -r -q -d 10 It directly asks the kernel to shutdown instead of using the registrar. As only the registrar shows the shutting down dialog, no dialog is shown when restarting.

The -a option would bring up the requester. I don't think a timeout is a good idea for this kind of things, as the user might not have selected Haiku as the primary OS to boot (so when he comes back after starting the install, one cannot tell whether or not the installation succeeded at all).

Maybe a installer related message text would be better, too, which could be easily done by using the "alert" tool instead.

The -a option isn't taken into account when using the -q option.

Why -q anyway?

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Installer now reboots using _kern_shutdown directly and without waiting, so there is no delay anymore.
