[opensuse] openSUSE 13.1 Beta
One thing I noticed about 13.1 vs 12.3 is that 13.1 is faster and crisper in its workings. A personal feeling I know but I to me it is certainly "nippier".

Does XDMCP work properly in 13.1? It's certainly been flakey to the point of being useless in 12.x. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No idea - I don't do any remote accesses. But I am sure that if I did then they would be much faster than in 12.3 :-) .

Might be a "upgrade excitement syndrome" hehe.. however it is also very likely that lots of different updated pieces carry small performance improvements. I am not aware if any real life usage benchmark has been performed yet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have M4 installed on at least two computers and never had any problem making demos with it it may be the first time the distro works so well so soon. good :-) also I know from multimedia/marketting lists that the general aspect should not change too much to allow better refinement jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When I switched from 11.x to 12.x, I noticed a severe performance hit due to video drivers.
Then add this repository and allow vendor changes: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_12.3/ (the last number may be 1 2 or 3) It will be dramatically better. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I already resolved the problem by going with the original NVidia repository. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well that will get you the Nvidia drivers, but what about the rest of X? -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I just added that repository and online update doesn't show anything new. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It won't until you allow vendor changes. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How does one do that?

In yast, I just Click the option in while in Software Management window. Its under Options. To prevent unwanted vendor changes, I don't leave that checked, I just turn it on when I want to switch repositories for a package, do the install, and then uncheck it. That package will continue to use the new repository. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Remember that once you update X from that repository you'll most likely also need to re-install the NVidia drivers (esp. so if you installed from the Nvidia sources and not the repo). -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I think the proprietary ones that James is using would not appear in the repository I mentioned under the same name. Still, your first time attaching a new repository, and allowing a vendor change, its wise to pick and choose EXACTLY which packages you are going to allow to upgrade, and maybe lock some packages. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I suspect this is really the case. Simply moving from the 12.3 stock Xorg to the newer one in /X11:/XOrg/opwnSUSE/_12.3/ has made a huge difference over the last several months in the responsiveness of my machine and the functionality of the X server. I can now run with much of the "bling" turned on and notice no difference in performance. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
