Hello I have been playing since yesterday doing multiple fresh installs using the RC2 x64 iso (on AMD based systems) and the RC 386 iso (on Thinkpads and HP laptops): openSUSE-DVD-Build0091-x86_64.iso openSUSE-DVD-Build0091-i586.iso The fresh installs go quite fast because I use the SUSE Studio ImageWriter (USB key Writer) to write the iso to an usb key and install using the usb key Once the fresh install is finished I run a custom script which adds the Packman repo and installs my personal rpms (flash-player, vlc, codecs, etc). zypper addrepo --refresh --name "openSUSE-12.1-Packman" http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/12.2/ repo-Packman zypper mr -p 1 "openSUSE-12.1-Packman" To my surprise all my standard 'family & video related' rpms are already available and working - thanks to packman. Note: I did ***not*** do and do not plan on doing a “zypper up” on any of the systems (i.e. using the repo-non-oss and repo-oss) for a while because I am worried about a grub2 issue (which results in a no boot) problem if I do. Resume of my test results: - amorak works (Bug 712749 which has been a pain on v12.1 has been solved) - Facework (this includes YouTube attachments) works on Firefox and Chromium - my girlfriend will be pleased :) - vlc works (thank you packman!) - wifi works (tested using 3 generations of intel cards) - sound works (on all laptops as well as on my main system which has an Xonar Essence STX) - OfficeLibre works I was so encouraged by the test results that I moved my main home system (which is an AMD x64 based) to RC2 VMware workstation (v8.0.4 build-744019) works as per usual once patched. Congratulations are in order for the results to date!
