Report problems in this thread - this is a very first try of 10.3 live CDs, so we better wait for the beta with bugs :)

So.. downloaded the KDE CD. It booted up nicely... and quite fast (in VirtualBox). Once the desktop got started up, I was presented with a popup saying that it had found a network card and would I like to set it up. I clicked Yes, and got the window for the root password... which I don't know (at least it's not obvious at this point). The NIC works fine... so only a minor issue... but still, this raises the question, what does a user need to do when he or she tries to do something that needs root level access.. for example to reconfigure a NIC.

Hi!

With openSUSE 10.3 we want to try something different: have live CDs available already during beta phase, so as a start I created live CDs of the installation set of the i386 GNOME CD and i386 KDE CD (the final version might come with a live installer if it works out).

So please give these a try:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3-Alpha7/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-A... Coolo, Downloaded this one, it is a wonderful addition to the SuSE family! my first concern is that it found my ipw2200 correctly but is missing a kernel module to configure it. It also seems to suffer many of the same "leaving YaST" error messages of 10.3 a7 , no news there. ;) more later.... -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education "let's make a difference"

1) QEMU without acceleration is still usable (about 300 MHz CPU) 2) QEMU with acceleration is fine except one has to configure default gateway. 3) eMachines 6528 (64 bit, AMD 3500, with 1 GB MB RAM, IDE hard disk) Dual screen has the same problem as in regular 10.3 a7, but end result is one good screen. 4) MSI motherboard, Athlon 2000+, IDE hard disks, nVidia MX 4000 AGP Boots with errors mentioned in other posts. Has icon on a desktop that gives back greeter. Nice. Openoffice has somewhat dark splash ;-) -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I gave the (kde) CD a spin in a HP Compaq dc7700 pc. That gave me this output after loading the kernel: Loading KIWI CD Boot-system... -----> Including required kernel modules... -----> Probing module: e1000 -----> Probing module: ehci-hcd -----> Probing module: generic -----> Failed to detect CD drive! -----> rebootExcepion: reboot in 60 sec... and it did reboot afterwards. I do recall not being able to start (DVD) install of openSUSE 10.2 on it as it said it did not find installation media. Rescue mode worked IIRC. If it would be useful I could try to boot it in recue mode with a beta1 installation CD and post some "dmesg" "lspci" outputs. What more would be useful information? regards j -- Jonas Helgi Palsson "Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.
