One little annoyance here is that Yast (GUI) causes a kernel panic! Iinstalled openSUSE 13.2-RC1 on my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, which had previously been running 13.1. I did a clean install, using btrfs on the system partition, but retaining an encrypted /home partition (ext4).
Today I did zypper dup from RC1. I have not added any extra repositories.
The machine boots OK, through the encryption key input to the KDE login dialog. The desktop looks as expected, and the apps I've tried (gkrellm, konsole, krusader, thunderbird, firefox) all work.
When I try to start YaST in graphical mode, it asks for the root password, then goes into a kernel panic. Eventually the machine reboots itself.
I can take a photograph of the kernel panic messages. Where should I send it?

Intel graphics?
I had one occurrence of a kernel crash with 13.2 beta and xf86-video-intel installed. I had other video issues that caused me to uninstall. No errors since then. So I can't say with absolute confidence the Intel driver triggered the crash, but it is the only obvious candidate.

My symptoms are not the same as yours, but I suspect you're right about the problem being related to graphics. I noticed some smearing on movement of the mouse while composing this message. <snip>
I'm a bit out of my depth now, so what would you recommend? Should I uninstall xf86-video-intel and see what happens when I reboot? This is not a production machine.
I'm not a graphics expert, but the first thing to do is determine which graphics system you have. In the bug report I did this by: /sbin/lspci | grep VGA I'm sure there are better ways. In my case my laptop has both Intel and Nvidia. Since Intel turned out to be a problem, I simply uninstalled the Intel driver. zypper rm xf86-video-intel Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

My laptop has only got Intel graphics. I'll try removing that driver and see what happens - there must be some sort of default fallback. I notice there's a thread started by Felix Miata concerning Intel graphics and 13.2.
