I have been using 3.17.2 from the kernel stable OBS repo with no issues but I do not need any proprietary firmware from ATI, NVIDIA, Broadcom etc so I am not a great test case. I am running 13.2 RC1 now and it is working well. It seems a little disappointing to release with out support for Lenovo hardware that is already on the market but 3.17 is relatively new and OBS is available for those who need it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I am trying to use zypper in the command language to install the various modules for the go language. I am using the command zypper -n install go-* I get the following: Retrieving repository 'OpenSUSE Science' metadata ........................[done] Building repository 'OpenSUSE Science' cache .............................[done] Retrieving repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME:Apps' metadata ......[done] Building repository 'openSUSE BuildService - GNOME:Apps' cache ...........[done] Retrieving repository 'openSUSE BuildService - devel:languages:python' met[done] Building repository 'openSUSE BuildService - devel:languages:python' cache[done] Retrieving repository 'Packman Repository' metadata ......................[done] Building repository 'Packman Repository' cache ...........................[done] Loading repository data...

[opensuse] Need to file a bug report - but to who?
by John Andersen 01 Nov '14

Need advice on an issue regarding an oddity with Google Chrome, (Their package) running on my Opensuse machine with Xorg 7.6_1.16.1-356.2 from Opensuse Repositories. Obviously when anyone has such a bug report its a total corner case. My hardware, my video card, my distro, my version of X on My version of Chrome with My desktop environment. How can anybody be expected to run down such a bug, when even specifying ALL the particulars takes 5 paragraphs and TLDR kicks in around three? Problem is Jaggies (paint bugs) when running Chrome (Version 38.0.2125.111 (64-bit) from Their repository. Jaggies appear when resizing browser the window. \ But that is the ONLY program on this machine that shows the error. Firefox, Kong, Dolphin, etc all work just fine. But chrome jaggies, Bling On or Bling Off. See the movie, showing same page with firefox an chrome: > https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9qMkpbh7Y2LT19Gekl2N2hGUUk&authuser=0 How would you guys write this up? (Already filed bug report with Google, but they are Google, so..... Would you but report this to Opensuse Bugzilla?
