12.1 (GM) on sony vayo VPCEH2N1E
by yahoo-pier_andreit 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

on this: http://www.sony.it/product/vn-e-series/vpceh2n1e-w.it1 I Installed from dvd, kde and gnome3, I tested only kde, gnome3 is too much strange to use for now :-)), in ten minutes I cannot manage to use anything on it, this is my son's notebook, 18 yearsold, he will decide what use, may be a young mind could use it:-)) installation last less than an hour and went very good -screen works ok out of the box -wireless works ok out of the box, some difficulty to have the network password memorized, I don't know how, but after some restart and tenth of root and network passwords given I succeed :-)), I think some work on this should be done, I didn't used kwallet, may be this the problem?? -wired works out of the box -broadband works out of the box -sound works ok out of the box -card reader works out of the box -special keys works out of the box -sleep I will test -touchpad works as simple mouse, scroll doesn't works, I think it is the same shit of hardware as my dell latitude, we will try later when the upgrade will be ready -thunderbird crash sometimes, but after some restart and some change of theme (the original is veeeeery ugly) it seems to works, -suspend works out of the box My son's comments: it is quite complicate to have mp3 dvd and other multimedia support, putting an icon on the desktop that perform this could be a good idea, too much passwords to give to perform network other comments will follow -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-testing+owner(a)opensuse.org

12.1 (GM) on Asus M4A89 GTD w/ AMD 890 GX
by Terje J. Hanssen 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi, I'm glad to tell that my latest update to the current 12.1 (Goldmaster?) finally does boot without 'nomodeset' on my Asus M4A89 GTD Pro/USB3 motherboard based machine. That is, radeonhd and Gnome3/Gnome shell works with hardware acceleration on AMD 890 GX graphics. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717377 Rgds, Terje J.

bizarre GNOME 3 issue - how to capture what's happening?
by M. Edward (Ed) Borasky 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

I've got a bizarre GNOME 3 issue on my openSUSE 12.1 RC2 laptop. I usually am in the Chrome browser, but it fails in Chromium as well. At seemingly random times, I'll browse to a web site or activate some JavaScript widget and the screen will suddenly drop back to a login prompt! I think I can poke around and find a sequence of operations that will trigger this, but what do I have to do to get log files / crash dumps to figure out what's happening? -- http://twitter.com/znmeb http://borasky-research.net "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." -- Paul Erdős -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-testing+owner(a)opensuse.org

Weekly News for November 12
by Larry Finger 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

The next meeting of the Testing Core Team will be November 28, 2011 at 18:00 UTC on Channel #opensuse-testing on the Freenode IRC Network (irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-testing). Our preliminary agenda includes an analysis of the 12.1 testing cycle. We hope to answer questions such as "What worked?", "What did not?", and "How can we improve for 12.2?". In our last meeting help on November 7, we discussed our experiences with 12.1 RC2, and what bugs we had encountered. The full meeting log is available at http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-testing/2011/opensuse-testi…. As oppenSUSE 12.1 will be released before my next communication, I wish everyone a good installation. Three of my machines have been updated to 12.1 GM, and all are working quite well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-testing+owner(a)opensuse.org

zypper dup from RC1 -> RC2 successful every where afaics. Had initial problems of packages not being available, probably mirrors not yet current. NVidia proprietary driver installed and working. synaptics/touchpad taps do *not* work, could this be related to the nvidia driver? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-testing+owner(a)opensuse.org
