During the install the video became completely corrupted so I initiated a system restart and was lucky that a HDD boot config was already written to HDD. There were another 2 instances where this standard Non-automotive Installation either failed due video corruption or any other number of faults. The online update errors in the log files I have corrected my end...see my Bug relating to SMIME File Integrity. After a complete massive online update along with mandatory reboot and online update continues the windowing system is still unstable and takes for ever to load from boot instructions...There are so so so many massive additional instructions to boot a 12.1 X_64 Installation. I hope my yast2 logs will show you my boot log...if not please specify what boot logs may help you. Hitting ESC during boot from HDD slows the boot process down so so much and I can just make out a few 'failed' entries amongst the hugely massive default boot instruction that make 11.4 look small. The only reason for me updating from 11.4 was due to most repositories no longer support 11.4 files. 11.4 was so so so very stable in its windowing manager and never fell over where as now I get kde crash handler errors and menu freeze error all the time during usage Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I hope my yast2 logs will show you my boot log...if not please specify what boot logs may help you.

Actual Results: Installation fell over 3 times and subsequent to online update the Windowing Mgr is not stable nor the menu system especially when you search for a word in the Application Launcher - Kickoff - Expected Results: Please let me know how I can be of help with log or testing data and info This is so unstable..what was the big change that caused us to have a 12.x anything after the wonderful 11.4 stability? Just curious as to wjhy we didn't have an 11.5 version. Installation failing more than 3 times I consider a major issue...let me know how to help so we can get this fixed and stable in X_64 -- 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.
