You should please be looking at the official images on OBS:

Similarly, thanks and questions are best directed to the opensuse-arm mailing list since several other contributors deserve credit, too (Marcus Schäfer, Guillaume Gardet, David Sterba, ..., plus the usual suspects Dirk Müller, Alexander Graf and Adrian Schröter) and may be able to help you more quickly. I just posted a status report there the other day [0] as part of our joint post-13.1 testing efforts: Apart from Kiwi not yet resizing the partition of the image during first boot, JeOS-raspberrypi image in Factory was looking pretty good now! There's also an XFCE-raspberrypi image defined (assuming FXCE was a typo?), but that package still has a few unresolved dependencies, such as Firefox.
Larry, if you can help update the kernel-raspberrypi package in above :Factory:Contrib repository from 3.11 to your 3.12, that would probably be appreciated by other users!
The repo this image uses is missing a few libraries,
Jim, if you find libraries are missing, please mention which repo you are using and which library you are missing. You might be: ...using an outdated repository, ...facing soft-/hard-float or armv5/armv6 ABI RPM incompatibilities, ...experiencing failing package builds that no one has fixed yet, ...needing a library that's not yet packaged at all, ...needing a package where armv6hl builds have not been enabled yet, or any number of other reasons we can only guess without further info.
Please understand that SUSE has no enterprise customers for the Raspberry Pi, so this work is dependent on individual contributions, with people like you hacking on this in their spare time.
Testing new images and providing feedback to opensuse-arm as well as updating or adding Wiki pages [1] are easy ways for you to contribute. Keeping track of which packages are failing [2, 3] for what reasons is another, if you don't want to get your hands dirty and actually help with fixing or updating packages yourself yet. ;)
Have a lot of fun,
Andreas

Thanks, I'll have a look at those.

Absolutely thanks to them - and also for mentioning the arm list. I'll make sure I'm subscribed to it, as I certainly do want to get involved - at least as a user, but probably more when things settle down after we move next month.

Yeah, I plan to do that, probably when I take a few minutes out from working tomorrow. :) I know more specific information is needed, I just wanted to make sure I was starting with a build/repo that made sense before I started getting too deeply into it.

Understood. It makes sense there wouldn't really be a commercial interest in the platform, at least at this stage. It is more of a hobbyist platform.

I like getting my hands dirty, haven't done so in a while, though, as I've had lots of other stuff on my plate. But as happens, a new toy tickles that interest somewhat (I'm also a ham radio operator, though I'm mostly inactive these days, for similar reasons). It might be something I can use to revive my interest there, too. :)

Do those images work now? If so, the wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi should be changed.

I'll see what I can do. I don't have much experience building anything for Factory, and I usually end up getting frustrated.

I was wondering the same thing. I've written the 13.1 image to my sdcard, but I'm booting headless at the moment and it's not coming up. I'll take some time this evening to plug it into my projector and see what the error is.

Just saw the post about the boot partition size issue, and that seems to have fixed it. Will take some time this afternoon to catch up on the list so I'm not asking about stuff that's already been answered. :)
