Hi,
talked to coolo today and he wants the 12.1 repo to be available after
Friday under the final URL
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.1/repo/oss/
so that it can get more public testing before RC2 and between releases.
Since 12.1 is already branched from Factory, there will only be
bugfixes going into it.
Switched openQA.o.o to test 12.1 now instead of Factory.
Be sure to file all Bad Bugs (tm) in bugzilla or there is little
chance for it to be noticed by the people who could fix them.
Ciao
Bernhard M.

I'm probably not the first one to run into this, but I thought I'd
post a warning anyhow. Yesterday I was running 12.1 Beta 1 and did a
"zypper update" on my laptop from the GNOME desktop. It managed to
retrieve all the packages, but during the install, the wireless
crashed, and then the X server crashed. There was no way to get back,
and I ended up re-installing. So ... if you decide to update in place,
do it on a wired connection from a console (init 3).

Hi,
For some time, I have had a problem that booting with systemd enabled never
completed. I had not had a chance to debug that issue until today, when I was
forced to do it. After a 'zypper up' on October 13, I was no longer able to
select SystemV using either "init=/sbin/init" in the GRUB options line, nor with
F5. GRUB seems to do the right thing but the console log indicates that systemd
is running.
From a Fedora article on debugging systemd, I discovered the boot commands to
enable a log level of "debug". From that, I could see that the NFS mounts were
failing.
The problem is as follows: My network connection uses wireless with
NetworkManager and the KDE plasmoid applet, thus no connection is made until a
user has logged in. However, systemd will not proceed until the NFS volumes are
mounted, and there is an impasse. I allowed the system to sit for nearly 2
hours, and it never finished booting.
The patch to /etc/init.d/nfs shown below is a workaround. It places the NFS
mount in the background so that it is completed when the network is up, but
booting can continue.
Index: etc/init.d/nfs

My change might not work when some of the system's files are contained on NFS
volumes. I have no way to test, but the patch does make my system usable again.

I have a machine running openSUSE 12.1 Beta 1:
Linux DreamCatcher.site 3.1.0-rc7-3-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 28
14:41:36 UTC 2011 (50fb02f) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I haven't tried older versions of VMware Workstation, but VMware
Workstation 8 (8.0.0-471780.x86_64) is definitely not installing out
of the box. The "vmnet" module does not compile. Fortunately there is
a patch / workaround, which I found on via VMware and Arch Linux
sites:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1842875https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware
This script worked:
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://88.191.137.189/vmware3.1rc.sh
$ chmod +x vmware3.1rc.sh
# ./vmware3.1rc.sh

Hi,
as no participants with time to attend appeared for our testing
meeting, I just email things here.
First topic was the experience with our 12.1-Beta

I have two machines running Factory full time and a third installed
with it. Most things just work.
There were several reports about problems with fresh installs of
12.1-Beta that were attributed to
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720571
I also noticed black tooltips in LibreOffice on KDE that did not
appear in icewm or gnome. Will file a bug.
openQA currently shows random problems when rebooting into the
installed system or rebooting later (hangs when shutting down network).
Overall, results should get clearer during the next days.
You may add your own experiences by responding to this thread.
Second topic was Beta Pizza Party planning.
There is one party scheduled to happen in Nuremberg in SUSE
headquarters and all 12.1-Beta or Factory users are invited to join in.
You find details on time and place on
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:BetaPizzaPartyNBGAttendees
If you plan on joining the event, please add yourself to the list.
People are encouraged to organize their own pizza party in their area
and add details to
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:BetaPizzaParty
Ciao

The next meeting of the Testing Core Team will be October 10, 2011 at 17:00 UTC
on Channel #opensuse-testing on the Freenode IRC Network
(irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-testing). Our preliminary agenda includes our
experiences with 12.1 Beta, and a discussion of the Beta Pizza Party.
The Beta 1 release of 12.1 was released approximately one week ago and has been
getting quite a bit of testing. On my systems, I have been doing updates from
the Factory repos nearly every day. Most things are working without problems.
