[opensuse-factory] A couple of observations on installing openSUSE 13.1 Beta
I've just installed openSUSE 13.1 Beta 1 on my Acer Iconia laptop/tablet http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model-datasheet/NT.L0QAA.005 I've noticed a couple of oddities along the way - During installation, the clock is off by more than 4 hours (on both LiveCD and DVD). Compare that to installing 12.3 on the same hardware with the same settings and it has it correct time. I haven't found any bugs on this one... I'll try a reinstall on this and see if I can find out more... at this point, the only observation is the clock is way out of whack when I boot the LiveCD or DVD. - Bluetooth is not found/visible. Bluetooth shows (internal BT an external BT Dongle) on 12.3 on the same hardware. Seems 3 separate bugs on the same issue have been raised: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841715 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=829417 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841765 - RAM is not being reported correctly - this isn't limited to 13.1 though... also happens on 12.3. I'll try to sort that one out on 12.3 I think... maybe.

I guess you mean the size reported by the installer in the installation proposal. The problem is that some HW components (usually integrated graphics cards) use some part of RAM which is then not available to the system. The size reported by Yast does not include this shared memory, it can be lower than the size of installed physical modules. -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak@suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yah, that was me not realizing that Kernel Default didn't have PAE enabled. Switched over to Kernel Desktop and I see all 4GB now.
