Is anyone playing with Plasma Active on openSUSE?
I've been tinkering a bit with it on an x86_64 tablet, but not having much success. I've been playing with Kubuntu-Active ISOs, but would rather tinker with openSUSE as the core.
I found this repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Active/ but the Factory repo seems out of date, and the 12.3 repo is ArmV7 no x86.
There are a couple of appliances on SuSE Studio, but they seem to be abandoned.
So, short of trying to build my own appliance... is anyone within the oS community playing with Plasma-Active on an x86 tablet, or am I the only one right now?

As fas as I know (I never tried them), open-slx uses openSUSE as base for their Plasma Active image but they call it "Balsam profesionnal". But the last image is a bit old (Sep 2012) : http://download.open-slx.com/iso/
Maybe you should ask them if they have a public repo.
I've tried out the images provided by open-slx (they provide isos). They won't boot beyond a kernel panic... basically they are waaaaay too old for my hardware. Kernel 3.8 and newer is where I need to be on this device. open-slx images are based on openSUSE 12.1 from what I can tell. I could use Studio to "roll my own" but... I'm looking at that as a last resort as I ask myself is it worth it for this one machine that has one other glaring issue that needs to be sorted first... I can't pair the Bluetooth keyboard to save my life... (a separate issue which I've posted about on the openSUSE foums and got nowhere with).

I played around with that repositories 8 month ago, there they worked. Don't know what about the maintainer, if he is still working on it. At that time it worked in VirtualBox and on my WeTab. Don't no if there are any plans for working on Plasma Active on openSUSE. Best greetings Buschmann -- Das Gesetz hat zum Schneckengang verdorben, was Adlerflug geworden wäre. (Friedrich Schiller - Die Räuber) Und der Buschfunk spielt gerade mal nichts...

I have tried using the PlasmaActive build from openSUSE on my TF201 for a while but since our beloved chameleon doesn't implement the multitouch patches for Qt4 most of the touch optimized features didn't work properly, because the touchpanel provides MT ABS data. Also there is a focus issue in Qt (at least on ARM), don't know if you experience it on x86_64 as well. The only distribution so far, which got PlasmaActive fully working is Mer. But without the proper HW acceleration features within the kernel it dies with a segfault.

Hello, how did You install it on the tablet? I would like install some normal Linux to my ASUS Transformer TF300T, but there don't seem to be much possibilities...
