[opensuse-factory] Milestone #2
A piece of advice - but your mileage may vary. This morning, as usual, I went to do "zypper refresh/up" on my Milestone #1 installation. This showed that there were (for me) 1190 upgrades to the tune of 890MB. Ah! I thought, Milestone #2 is what this is about. I went ahead with the upgrade. This totally stuffed my MS#1 installation and it is now unusable - it defaults to the (?init 3) root login, and I am unable to compile the nVidia driver. Doing "zypper dup" did not help. My MS #1 is a stock standard one which uses the official repos (except for Mozilla and packman). I suggest that "you" wait until (?) Monday when MS #2 is officially made available.

the Nvidia driver needs a "patch" to compile: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2526815&postcount=6 "Then go to the kernel sub folder and open the conftest.sh search for "CFLAGS=”$CFLAGS -I$SOURCES/arch/x86/include” and replace it with CFLAGS=”$CFLAGS -I$SOURCES/arch/x86/include -I$SOURCES/arch/x86/include/generated” HTH cobexer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

-- The vulgar crowd always is taken by appearances, and the world consists chiefly of the vulgar. Niccolo Machiavelli I ran into this yesterday. I updated (using YaST) everything and then rebooted. Got a kernel panic. Had to reinstall 12.2 MS1 but have not updated it yet. Will take suggestion above and wait a few days. I did not update the kernel yet or the Nvidia driver when this occured. Wanted to verify updates before updating Nvidia and the kernel.
