Hi all, we are currently testing openSUSE 11.0 Beta 1 on portions of our equipment. Find attached the results of LTP tests that we were running during the last weekend. Other test we were running during the last days: * kernbench-0.42 for 16 hours on 32- and 64-bit: passed * CTCS 1.3.1pre1 for 24 hours on 32-bit: passed Hardware: Basic information about the configuration can be found inside the LTP reports. The 32-bit tests were performed on a dual core box, the 64-bit tests on a quad core box. This is all on bare metal, not in virtualized environments.

beta1 installation results
by Christian Boltz 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

Hello, just a short summary of my 10.3 -> 11.0 beta1 update: - network installation is broken, linuxrc tells that the IP is in use by another machine (see bug 379501#c10, workaround included) - previously used repositories are all lost (bug 379051) - some %postun failures because of missing libncurses.so.5 (bug 381479) So far, these were all known bugs. But I also invented new ones ;-) - my encrypted /home needed an fsck after installation (bug 381739) - my favorite one: my mouse pointer is "imprisoned" when using the touchpad (bug 381745) - existing permissions.local not honored on update (bug 381751) - and some small issues I also reported in bugzilla Things that are not in bugzilla yet: a) While testing the new GPG public key management in the package manager, I noticed that the GPG keys for build(a)suse.de (E3A5C360307E3D54 and A84EDAE89C800ACA) expire soon (2008-06-01). Can this be caused by the fact that I always update to newer versions or are the keys really expiring soon? b) # zypper sa \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/cboltz/Factory/ This zypper call misses the alias parameter. I tested it to verify if a translation was fixed, but got this result instead: Problem parsing the file at the specified URI: /home/var/adm/mount/AP_0x00000068/repositories/home:/cboltz/Factory: Line 1 is missing '=' sign Ist das eine .repo Datei? Siehe http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/RepoInfo für Details. This is the wrong error message. The right one would be something like "not enough parameters". See also zypper sa --help output: addrepo (ar) [options] <URI> <alias> <--- this is the mode I tried addrepo (ar) [options] <FILE.repo> It seems zypper confuses the "add url" and "add repo file" modes. On the positive side, I'm impressed with the new speed of the package management. And I'm also surprised that I didn't find more bugs until now :-) Now I'm off to create a test user for testing KDE4... Regards, Christian Boltz -- Zu meiner Entschuldigung: Ich konnte es nicht nochmal durchlesen, weil meine Kippenschachtel leer war und ich also schnell das Haus verlassen musste. Das neue Jahr - keine 11 Tage alt und die (guten) Vorsätze schon alle über Bord....

boot option
by Tamas Sarga 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I tried to install beta1, but I failed. The kde live cd says that the boot option is Live-System, but there isn't such image. At later the installer freezes after setting language and keyboard layout. I don't know the name of the boot-image, so I can't add failsafe, or noacpi as boot option. This hardware was good for 10.3, why 11 freezes, in addition 11 alpha 3 also could be installed. What should I do? TIA.

testing any special

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have an AMD 1800+ Athlon XP with 1 GB RAM, a Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 card and a Terratec EWX24 soundcard. Are there any special to test? I can do a fresh install, or I can mirror my 10.3 system and try to update.
