I'm not here for help on this. There is nothing "senseless" about staying on 13.2 for the time being. If I need help with a _basic_ install of Leap on hardware that works on 13.2, I will stay with 13.2. The install was just an exercise to see where it is. Can I use this yet sort of thing. I'll try 42.3 when it arrives, but until then I'll be sticking with 13.2.
senseless - lacking common sense; wildly foolish. openSUSE 13.2 is no longer receiving any security updates Leap 42.3 will likely be available earlier than November 2017, but that still means a period of months where you will be running a machine that will be vulnerable to major security vulnerabilities. If a 13.2 machine is connected to the internet, I would consider it's use from this point to be lacking common sense and wildly foolish, therefore, senseless. If people wish to continue using 13.2, fine. If people on this list wish to continue giving 13.2 users advice, fine. But I think it's fine and fair to call those actions senseless. While it could be seen to be disrespectful, sometimes ignorance or poor judgement needs to be challenged and it is clearly in the best interest of 13.2 users to cease using 13.2 as soon as possible if they wish their systems to remain secure on the internet or stable with new hardware and peripherals. Your issue with the expert partitioner is lacking sufficient detail for me to help you debug it - and I have little desire to extend much more help on that topic given the attitude displayed. I would expect an 'expert' using the expert partitioner to file a bug. But I will say that ext4 installations work absolutely fine when using the 'non-expert' "Edit Proposal Settings" or "Create Partition Setup" options in the installer. The "Create Partition Setup" wizard lets you pick a filesystem of your choice while simultaneously letting you choose which partitions to reuse/leave untouched, which sounds like exactly what you were aiming for. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
