Aaaw, come on Carlos :-( .
People have been encouraged to switch to Factory. One goes to the wiki page I already mentioned and there is the URL which takes you to the directory which gives you the Snapshot to download - which is what I did.
And you now come out with "this particular snapshot has the wrong repos pre-configured." and then "It is not the generic installation procedure."
A lot of goobly-dook.
What the heck is "the generic installation procedure"? Put DVD on drive, boot, follow your nose. Literally :-)
And, who is responsible for writing the wiki page which gives you the wrong Snapshot-with-the-wrong-repos to download? The page is absolutely correct. It told you to just download and boot the dvd, nothing more.
The rest of the instructions are for upgrade, not install. It just happens that the procedure to correct the wrong repo entries are similar.
What is this, "It just happens that the procedure to correct the wrong repo entries are similar."? I install as per the instructions (as I did during the re-install) and see that the repos are for 13.1 - with no "factory" name in sight! :-) So I try to YaST to amend the repos and all I get is the "bird" from YaST.
And please remember: IT IS FACTORY.
Yes I KNOW that it is FACTORY. But we are assured that FACTORY now contains almost perfect files which have been tested before being placed into FACTORY - and all this is with the intention of providing a "rolling" version of openSUSE. Now come on :-) . Who is misunderstanding things? (Naturally moi, of course :-( .)
Meaning, that things are expected to break, you are expected to solve the issues that you find, yourself, on your own, and when stuck, ask here, in case somebody else has found the solution before than you, or knows that it is a bug, or something. And you are expected to contribute and report bugs in Bugzilla, and follow up on them.
I understand all of that. But how can one test anything and report on anything when the bloody thing does not work as expected to begin with?! The boot menu shows openSUSE 12.3. The repos shown in YaST are for 13.1 and not for "factory". If one wants to change the repos - according to what the wiki page states or as Neil tried - neither zypper nor YaST will let you. And I am asked to write a bug report..... based on WHAT? There is no "level playing field" here to even consider thinking about a bug report.
It is also expected to have new features and behaviours, which will surprise people,
Oooow, I like surprises - as long as they frighten the crap out of me and make me soil my panties :-) .
which will some times not know what to do.
Oh, I know what to do when I am 'surprised' :-) BC -- Using openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.13.2 & kernel 3.15.2-2 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX660 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
