I did an upgrade from Beta5 to RC1, with mixed results. A few weeks ago, I filed a BZ 430284 enumerating a number of problems with the slowness of the installation system. I have just updated that BZ with further quantitative data. I waited 7 minutes for "loading basic drivers" before literally pulling the USB plug and then reinserting it. There were 5 minute delays looking for USB devices, and ieee1394 devices. Overall, it was an agonizingly slow process, but eventually I got my Beta5 system upgraded to RC1 without having to pull/reinsert the USB plug. However, the RC1 system seems to have a network problem - eth0 comes up and I can ping my printer's ethernet port, but can't resolve any addresses, especially 'download.opensuse.org', which makes completion of the installation somewhat problematic. I'll try to work on it as time permits over the weekend. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org

Hi Bayard,

I did an upgrade from Beta5 to RC1, with mixed results.

A few weeks ago, I filed a BZ 430284 enumerating a number of problems with the slowness of the installation system. I have just updated that BZ with further quantitative data. I waited 7 minutes for "loading basic drivers" before literally pulling the USB plug and then reinserting it. There were 5 minute delays looking for USB devices, and ieee1394 devices. Overall, it was an agonizingly slow process, but eventually I got my Beta5 system upgraded to RC1 without having to pull/reinsert the USB plug.

This sounds like following problem: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448807

However, the RC1 system seems to have a network problem - eth0 comes up and I can ping my printer's ethernet port, but can't resolve any addresses, especially 'download.opensuse.org', which makes completion of the installation somewhat problematic. I'll try to work on it as time permits over the weekend.

Do you have just one network interface or more? I found a problem with two NIC's. Best wishes, Holgi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org

I've been testing 11.1 RC1 since yesterday. The US mirrors didn't seem   to have it yet, but I got it from one in Germany and everything looked   OK. Is beta 6 *different*, or is it the same as RC1???

If you have Beta6 than something is wrong. There was a problem with some files released too early to ftp.gwdg.de . Try to download and install again from: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution that will make sure that you have real RC1. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org

The LiveCD I got was from ftp.gwdg.de, but it was called RC1, not beta6. Everything seems to be working ... should I re-install anyhow?

If iso file has correct md5sum that is published in: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/ as .iso.md5 than you really have current RC1. The problem is that the file names are the same, but they have different md5sum. The 11.1-RC1 directory on ftp5.gwdg.de wasn't possible to access right after the error was spotted, so I'm sure that ftp admin promptly reacted, but check with md5sum will make sure that you didn't catch the old one. I just checked openSUSE-11.1-RC1-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso.md5 is the same in: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/ and http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1-RC1/iso/ -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
