Timezone installation
by houghi 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

I was looking at the installation and during the installation, the default is Region: USA and the Time Zone is Mountain. In content it however says: TIMEZONE America/Los_Angeles I am not sure wether this is related or not. I did a grep on mountain an the CD1 and found nothing. Is there a way to change the default? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

Beta 6 problem with installation media cd 3 and 4 in VMware
by Ulrich Hölscher 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Hi, i tried to install the Beta 6 in VMware 4.5.2. I used the full isos for x86. I checked the md5sums and they are correct. Everything went fine except of CD 3 and 4. Yast can't mount them. I only get a media error. If I skip CD 3 and 4 the installation goes on with CD 5. Is this a problem with the installer or with VMware? uli

There seems no choice for a Beta 6 (or even Beta 8) version when entering or updating bugs in Bugzilla. FMF

Install beta6 - trouble-list
by Azerion 04 Mar '06

04 Mar '06

Tonight I installed beta6 (harddrive install). One thing went totally wrong, a few things I doubt what was going on and some little 'rough edges' ;). This is a list that has _NOT_ been checked on bugzilla-entries. I will reply on this with the bugzilla entries if they exist and otherwise I will try to make a bugzillentry with log. This is just an memory archive for me. I cant hold on that information in my head so now I have some time to check everything out. 1.) PROBLEM: I use a GeForce 2 Pro and the install freezes when yast starts. The screen goes to blank and into 'no card signal' (NOT 'no sconnection') mode with the orange led. The keyboard seems to lock (but CTRL-ALT-DELETE words....). Using the VESA option did the trick, but it seems not the right way (I mean, there are lot of Geforce 2 (and older) users at this planet. == In VESA mode Yast said: "Please supply a configfile", and continues without waiting... == 1.b ) PROBLEM : In the text-mode of the installation the keyboard did not work in the terminal (2 or 3 or so).... 2.) Question: I could not find the description-slides. Is that cause it was a HD-install? (in network install-mode you do not see them either but that is 'normal' for some reason) 3.) y2base suse for some minutes 100% cpu and 25% mem right after the reboot (into install 2). Not so nice cause it looks like the installer hangs (not everybody checks top and wait for some minutes). Is this normal? 4.) SuSE.config? Maybe it is time to make SUSE.config ;-) 5.) First KDM-start when you click on a user KDM will report that the password was wrong....I did not typed yet! 6.) Package-manager, okey just wait :-D Azerion

ibm intellistation
by Peter Czanik 04 Mar '06

Hello, Is anybody testing on IBM InteliStation machines? I just wanted to install 10.1 beta5 on a machine witch worked fine with 10.0, but it freezes at random points during the second stage of installation. I never had a smooth install, it always froze somewhere (no ping, no keyboard response), but never at the same point. It also does not boot, if GRUB is installed to a partition (as it's default). Bye, -- CzP http://peter.czanik.hu/

Re: [opensuse-announce] SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta6 is ready

Hi, for cases like the following (which occasionally occur in "final releases" as well) I wondered if SuSE Linux should have a pre-installation online update (There do exist LiveCDs with virus scanners that can be online-updated, just before you say it's impossible). Could a "driver update" medium fix such problems (in case it would exist)?

Maybe it is an idea to fix the announcement at the web also :D. Some links do link to SUSE-Linux and some only to SUSE.... http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-announce/2006-Mar/0002.html Azerion
