SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha4 is ready for testing. New significant changes in 10.1 Alpha4 since 10.1 Alpha3: * Further integration of NetworkManager (note: NetworkManager is on by default on NLD/SUSE Linux and off on SLES) * Updates to all parts of the system, especially new bash version (3.1), new Linux kernel (2.6.15 rc5), KDE 3.5 final, GNOME 2.12.2, X.Org 6.9 rc3. Further details are - and ongoing changes will be - documented at http://www.opensuse.org/Factory-News . Known CRITICAL issues: * The first time a user logs in on the console, an error is reported. A second login works. * The graphical login does not work. Workaround: Login on the console and change /etc/X11/xdm/Xession as follows: --- /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession 2005-11-21 22:22:10.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession 2005-12-15 12:09:03.000000000 +0100 @@ -102,7 +102,7 @@ */rzsh) shell=/bin/zsh ;; *) shell=/bin/bash ;; esac - exec -la ${shell} ${shell} -c ${1+"exec $@"} + exec -l -a ${shell##*/} ${shell} -c ${1+"exec $@"} } * The distribution identifies itself as "10.0.42 Alpha4" - and has in quite a lot places the 10.0 branding. This is a known feature;-) * Internet test will not work since downloading to patches is not setup. Note: Alpha4 will be followed by Beta in four weeks, Alpha4 is not supported and we advice to not use it on production systems. Please report bugs in http://bugzilla.novell.com .
