I was quite disappointed in the community participation in our Open Bugs Day. I cannot believe that no one cares about the bugs! I guess everyone wants someone else to do the work. I really thought this is to be a community distribution. Despite the low turnout and the resulting poor coverage of hardware and software, we were able to clear some of the 11.4 bugs, and demonstrate that others do not affect 12.1. I certainly hope for more participation when we have the next open Bugs Day that will have the goal of cleaning up 12.1 bugs before the final release. With the release of 12.1 MS5, I am now running the new code on 3 of my 4 real machines that were running 11.4. So far, the only problem has been with the plasmoid network manager for KDE. On all of those machines, I have switched to NetworkManager-Gnome, also known as nm-applet. It works OK, but will take a little fiddling before it works seamlessly. Our next IRC meeting will be at 17:00 UTC, September 12 on Channel #opensuse-testing on the Freenode IRC Network. irc://irc.freenode.net/opensuse-testing. We will discuss our experiences with MS5. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
Larry what is required to help. I've played with 12.1 since ms1, now on 5. Biggest show stopper for me is the frequent crashes of KDE 4.7 plasma in varous setting including reboot, shutdown, kontact. These have been reported as bugs from what I can see on Bugzilla. I'm not a programmer so I cannot help there. What else is needed? Other major problem I've got is CaLc where the horizonal slider does not work at all in 11.4 or 12.1. LibreOffice 3.4.2 OOO340m1 (Build:1204) This was downloaded from openSUSE repo so I'm not sure where to report it.

If bugs have been opened and they describe your situation, then the most you can do is add a comment saying "Still present in 12.1 MS5". That will trigger an Email to everyone on the Cc list. If the bug has gotten out of mind, then that will be a reminder. Of course, this is probably an upstream bug and will need to be fixed by KDE, but at least a reminder is activated.

Reporting is the important part. I am a programmer, but I have no clue about KDE. In fact, I don't do much C++, thus I cannot help with any GUI.

Make certain that the openSUSE Bugzilla has an entry for it. I just checked and my 12.1 MS5 install has 3.3, thus it appears that you are on the bleeding edge. Again, this is an upstream problem. It might be work checking the LibreOffice bugzilla to see if that bug is filed there. I also see that 3.4.3 is out and your problem may be fixed already.
