I posted here a week ago with several complaints about 11.1, some of which were legitimate and others which were just "whines".
Whines: -taskbar is hard to configure (I'll just get over myself on that) -Some kde4 application settings (konsole tab button for instance) seem to get lost between sessions. -konqueror no longer has a picture view mode, (I installed google picassa, which is quite nice).
Real problems: -The kernel shipped with 11.1 locks up on this machine. No messages to the console log nor anywhere else I looked. it locks up with the caps lock and wifi leds flashing alternately. The only recourse is to power cycle the machine.
A panic... Any chance of getting the Oops / panic message?
I dealt with this by downloading and installing kernel 2.6.28-9, which is pretty new, but is very stable so far on this machine. Note that I had to get nvidia drivers from their beta area for this kernel, but that is also true of the 2.6.27 kernel shipped with 11.1.
No, the regular NVIDIA repo will work for 11.1.
I had the same 'lock up' problem with my t60p and tracked it down to the Thinkpad ACPI module, and specifically the fan control. The system was locking up due to overheating. I simply added 'fancontrol=1' and I've had no further incidents. Edit this file /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi And change to look like this... options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 experimental=1 hotkey=enable,0xffffff -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklbZNAACgkQ4SABtmppu+HxsQCgg9cUQQ91A9ZBQf2eQA4MeYmF V7wAnjbMU8X9w5u28CmbVPBJ3U8E5B7R =kZgo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
