The Testing Core Team has decided to hold our third Open Bugs Day (OBD) on Sunday August 21 from 0:00 to 23:59 UTC, despite the unavailability of a formal release of openSUSE 12.1 MS4.
To ensure that all the testers are using the same code base, we are making Virtual Machines available on our server. For those people that wish to test on their own hardware, there will be KDE and Gnome virtual images, and distribution snapshots available. The virtual images have been prepared with KVM and tested with VirtualBox.
The purpose of this OBD is to test the open bugs reported for oS 11.4 to see which of them are still affecting 12.1. As there are over 1300 open bugs for 11.4, we have a major job to do. If you have any time available on Sunday, please join us. Use Channel #opensuse-testing on the Freenode IRC Network. irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-testing to get started and to get the URL for the snapshots and images.

Hi,
From yesterday's Factory Build0211 I have created two VM images that are 1GB compressed and 3.8GB uncompressed:
http://www5.zq1.de/img/obd3-gnome32.vmdk.xz http://www5.zq1.de/img/obd3-kde64.vmdk.xz Root PW is "linux" The gnome32 image uses LVM I adapted fstab, initrd and grub/menu.lst to not require virtio and tested both images with KVM and VirtualBox. After downloading you can do img=obd3-gnome32.vmdk xz -cd $img.xz > $img qemu-kvm -net user -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=52:54:00:56:34:12 \ -drive file=$img,if=virtio,boot=on -m 1000 -usb -usbdevice tablet \ -monitor stdio -redir tcp:2222::22 -soundhw ac97 I did not try if VMware works. I also snapshotted the Factory Build0211 repo to http://mirror.zq1.de/opensuse/factory/repo/oss/ but chances are that the fix for https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711760 goes into Factory this week which could allow for a new factory-tested snapshot.
