Due to BNC#835695 a non-patched 12.3 release will fail to upgrade via zypper dup in some circumstances. Jeff Mahoney said he would address it: http://markmail.org/message/nfiwsnvfgdhthcsj I don't know if it was addressed. If not, the best workaround is to download the ISO and upgrade via DVD. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a vanilla OS 12.3 with /usr being BtrFS 2. Install the ImageMagick package 3. attempt upgrade to 13.1 via zypper dup -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Works perfectly on 11.4 and 12.2. Using kernel-default. Intel E8200 G43, 32-bit openSUSE. After a few reboots, my server suddenly won't boot past grub (2?) console. I re-install 12.3 and after yet some reboots the problem comes back. My knowledge is limited, but my description is: computer launches grub, which displays the grub console. It does 'find /boot/grub/stage1' properly and lets me rewrite the boot 'code', but the system will still not boot past the grub console. After re-installing 12.2 the system works properly again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot a few times. 2. 3. Actual Results: See details.

There is no problem with the hardware as the windows booting works fine for hours. I used to increase fan speed by the steps mentioned in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_control_fan_speed in the earlier versions of openSUSE. But I no longer get a /proc/acpi/ibm/fan or thinkpad_acpi.conf with 12.3 This makes my machine shutdown multiple times everyday. Please suggest a workaround or fix.

That's hard to explain when trying to help people who are inexperienced with linux. With a non-UEFI system, we can use F3 to set video choices during install. However, that is not available for a UEFI boot of the 64-bit install DVD. Perhaps also a good idea for the 64bit live media. And possibly a textmode install menu item might be useful too.
