Hi, Just to let you know: I removed the 11.3 redirect. So if you have RC2, you can use zypper dup to update to GM. Good luck :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] KDE logging out on its own as I try to work?

All, I've been occasionally using my laptop today and 3 or 4 times, as I'm working with firefox, it just logs me out. Is this a known bug? Or am I the lucky one. note: I did enable the 11.3 packman repo recently, so it could be something I brought in from there.

[opensuse-factory] Removing extracting cracklib library pop up message during installation in future revisions

Hi all, During the initial installation, when I fill out my name and password, and clicking on the OK or Accept button. We keep getting a pop up message: "Extracting cracklib library" or something very similar. Can we look at suppressing this pop up in the future? Cheers!

[opensuse-factory] KDE live CD (build 0694) broken
by R. Tyler Ballance 11 Jul '10

I've been trying to get the KDE live CD ot cooperate in VirtualBox for some reviewing and the .iso just seems busted. I can neither get to the default KDE4 desktop nor execute an installation with the CD (there's an error creating partitions, the exact error I don't have handy at the moment). Wondering what steps I should be following to get a corrected Live CD built? Cheers, -R.

If so, GPT support for data drives should have been in openSUSE for a long while now. (ie. maybe 11.1) and it not working is clearly a bug somewhere along the line. Possibly specific to the drive. As to GPT boot drives, obviously that requires a EFI compliant system. And EFI/GPT booting support I know nothing about. The link you provided describes SLED / SLES installs with elilo as the boot manager, so I doubt it applies to openSUSE. As far as I know openSUSE installs are currently grub 1.x based only, and I'd be surprised if grub 1.x supports EFI/GPT boots. Not sure about grub 2.
