[opensuse-factory] OpenSuSE Alpha 3 on VMWare
Gentle readers, yesterday i tried an installation of OpenSuSE Alpha 3, downloaded as CDs the same day, 32 bit within a VMWare Virtual Infrastructure Server, Version 2.0.1, Build 40644. I used the predefined settings of SLES 10 1. the default setting of VMWare with LSI Logic SCSI adapter failed to detect the hard disk, the alternative BusLogic worked flawlessly, 2. the default installation with KDE was terminated by an error, which i cannot describe more detailed, because the resulting installation could not be brought up to boot properly ("repair" didn't provide a bootable installation), this was reliable reproduceable, tried 3 times, root login was impossible (no password set - which "genius" invented this "security feature" ?!?), didn't try the rescue system, 3. the vim package produced an error during installation, mentioning a skriptlet failing, 4. the "other" installation with "text" worked flawlessly, i was able to install most of the stuff (i didn't try Gnome due to space limitations) after completing the first minimal installation.

known issue : see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263883
2. the default installation with KDE was terminated by an error, which i cannot describe more detailed, because the resulting installation could not be brought up to boot properly ("repair" didn't provide a bootable installation), this was reliable reproduceable, tried 3 times, root login was impossible (no password set - which "genius" invented this "security feature" ?!?), didn't try the rescue system,
try to make yast to log to a separate machine during installation, open a bug report with that information.
3. the vim package produced an error during installation, mentioning a skriptlet failing,

this was probably due to this bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263207 jano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
