Anyone done a clean install of 11.1 beta 3? Any issues to report?

Clean install went fine. Only thing, i tryed to add Thunderbird to packages, that make Yast crash. But with default packages, everything went fine.

Don't use the standard Search in Software Management to find and add an application which you need - this causes YaST to come up with an (Segmentation) error message (and "crash").

Use the Package Filter or Patterns under the Filter option and then go looking for the package you want - select it and YaST will install it. (Or else use "zypper install from the command line as root to install the package.)

Ciao.

Well, I did a clean install yesterday, and thus far I've found: 1) Using KDE 3.5, if I attempt to do much of anything with kicker (move applets, access 'resize panel' dialog, etc), X crashes :-( 2) Can't get 'su' to work. When I type 'su' at a console to switch to root, it just hangs. I can do things with sudo, though Anyone else seeing this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes, see the most annoying bugs of Beta3. pam_fp is broken, the wiki describes how to fix it,

On Beta 3, it doesn't work for me. The wiki says: ]> Bug #437411: su and console login do not work. Workaround: sudo vi /etc/pam.d/common-auth and remove the pam_fp line. We will release a test update. I have no "pam_fp line" and I see no update at all. Symptoms: - No text consoles. - In gnome, I can "su -" to root, but Yast only works in ncurses mode. I tried "yast2", "yast", "yast --qt", and in all cases I get the ncurses mode yast. - Going the menu route, yast does not start and I see no error. - If I log in as root, in Gnome, I get the graphical Yast. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

I have no "pam_fp line" and I see no update at all.

Symptoms:

- No text consoles. - In gnome, I can "su -" to root, but Yast only works in ncurses mode. I tried "yast2", "yast", "yast --qt", and in all cases I get the ncurses mode yast. - Going the menu route, yast does not start and I see no error. - If I log in as root, in Gnome, I get the graphical Yast.

Making the change suggested in the bug report worked for me on the 2nd issue. I'll create a bug report, if there's not one already, for the 1st issue.

Well, it doesn't for me. As I said, I have no "pam_fp" line in /etc/pam.d/common-auth, so I can not remove it as the bug report suggests. Also I see no updates, YOU says there are none: ] YaST2 - online_update @ minas-morgul ] ] Initializing Online Update ] ] x Initialize the target system ] x Refresh software repositories ] => Check for available updates ] ] ] ] ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ ] │ No active update repository available. │ ] │ Exit Online Update now? │ ] │ │ ] │ [Yes] [No] │ ] └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ ] ] ] ] Checking for available updates... ] 100% ] ] ] [Help] [Back] [Abort] [Next] ] ] F1 Help F9 Abort I can su without problems.

Tried to upgrade from 11.0 and ended up with a grub prompt and couldn't get past the prompt. Anything entered including just a return gave an error that (poor memory here) the image was too large. Tried fresh install and so far the only _very_ annoying bug is the hostname keeps getting reset to the default name of linux every time the network is restarted. Also every time I make a change in YaST-->Network Devices-->Network Card I get an error that the network did not start. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
