Hey Group;

Fresh install of openSuSE confirmed good DVD straight to the hardisk.

I am just about to dump openSuSE because, So much of it is just broken but the X Windows stuff and some of that fails. On a machine with an Athlon 64 with 1 Gig of memory and lots of HD will not compile a factory linux-2.6.37.# kernel using /proc/config.gz (implying .config.gz doesn't agree with "make menuconfig") and other problems are X windows being forced to use drm and nouveau have the monitor not centered and so dark a sheet over the monitor and your head is needed to see it in the dark. Plus Amarok and Blinder fail. And finally! The mouse at console fails to work even after configured with Yast2 and restarted. Oh yea! at bootup while in VGA the monitor is very bright.

openSuSE did fix postgresql so that it now boots

Donn,

You do know you are by definition not running stable software, right?

There are still 4 months before 11.4 is released.

So while the feedback I'm sure is useful, especially if you put it into bugzilla, it is no reason to "dump" openSUSE.

Greg

Something else is the problem, 11.4 M4 is not broken. Everything Donn says he has problems with runs here on a i586 box, 2 x86_64 boxes and a 11.3 x86_64 box. I already opened a bug for the gpm not working in tty, no feedback to date, bug #645202 opened 2010-10-09. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

X is/was broken in factory, mea culpa, errare humanum est ,I messed it up, last incantation went horrible wrong.

Fixed packages should be available shortly.

i noticed it was broken, but that's where the new 'factory-tested' repos

came in handy. waiting a few more days in case my mirror isn't the freshest one, then back to factory. apart from that there's a few more unscheduled crashes than on 11.3 / KDE 4.5, but nothing reproducible or

horribly wrong, and not unexpected with running both oS & KDE in beta.

look here: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ the error with X11 that prevented factory from working has been solved. i installed from build 0909 a few days ago, got hit by the X11 error and did a "distribution update" from the "factory-tested" repos, which worked. a couple hours ago i switched to the factory repos again, and everything is fine. there's a few newer builds available in the location i mentioned above, but i haven't tried these. i suspect that at least the latest build will be working & installable. by the way, in this list top posting is frowned upon, because it makes it more difficult to understand the flow of a discussion, and to insert comments inline. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
