[opensuse] OpenSUSE 10.3 Alert!
Hi all, I got the DVD early this morning as a downloaded ISO. The old 10.2 was a little quirky, and I kept it afloat just till today, and could hardly wait to do a new install with 10.3. Well, the first impressions are pleasing. It is quicker in installation, package selection verification is fast now, no errors with any packages installed (I install everything except Laptop). My /home is usually another physical hard drive, which I then mount after the installation of the new system. Everything, all programs I used in 10.2 and were open under the last 10.2 session just popped up as it was before I closed it down. All program setups like Evolution was there as before when the new /home was mapped in fstab. Evolution used to be a pain with updates, but now it is faster and more responsive. Great!! This has been the fastest upgrade I have ever had. The online Update has now got "Community Repositories". It is similar to convienientSUSE (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43378), for all NON-OSS, DVD media playing and codecs. So far, an alert and snappy system. Well done OpenSUSE clan!! :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Hi Al, Sounds great - thanks for the review!! Is the Opensuse DVD the RC1 candidate or is it the final release version? BTW - where is the final version of the DVD iso image - I can't find it anywhere on the opensuse.org site - it only has 10.2 for download. Thanks. Otto. Net wrote:

The torrents would be great if it weren't by the suckers among us (8 seeders and 65 leechers). What it does is that decent people gets out and wait for a mirror or even get a box. In a world with decent human beings and all contributing to the same cause the downloads using torrent could have been great. Now I will kill the download. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If i remember correctly, the guys from sixxs offered space and bandwith specifically for torrent. Only drawback is that they offer it ONLY on IPv6.... And KDE (and thus ktorrent) can not cope with it. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi all, I am still positive about the alert response of the new OpenSUSE 10.3, but now some strange Windoze like behaviour puzzles me ... Last night I was flabbergasted when I could not get my system to configure the network cards. It has a WLan from Asus, a LAN on the MoBo and another plugged in for another network. I configured all as in the 10.2 system where they worked well. As YaST closed, I did an ifconfig to check. Nothing. ?? I checked with YaST again, no config. I configured everything again, and before closing YaST completely, I did an "ifconfig eth0 up", and the card was there, but not with the fixed IP I set. I closed everything in YaST, restarted and reconfigured it again with YaST. Then closed all and rebooted the system. Everything worked then .. huh .. This morning at the office I wanted to install a HP JetDirect printer that worked well with the 10.2. After 4 attempts to get the driver to work, a test page got printed, but from apps no printing possible. To a directly attached HP-DeskJet it printed perfectly from the start (install). I did the same trick as last night; installed the HP-LaserJet 5M on JetDirect, rebooted the system and it worked perfectly. I have never had this behaviour from OpenSUSE before (since 8.1). Anyone with similar astonishing OpenSUSE Lin(Win)ux apocalyptic scares? I am perfectly willing to be a dupe and done it wrong, but please do not say some type of Windoze brain-dead things are cropping up in KDE. :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Al,

It's the GM, not the RC1. Here it is now: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/dvd/ use wget -c http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/dvd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-... I used torrent late last night in the EU. The repository "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard" is not accessible as I am typing here, used by the "Sofrtware Repositories" in "YaST's Control Centre - Software"
candidate or is it the final release version? BTW - where is the final version of the DVD iso image - I can't find it anywhere on the opensuse.org site - it only has 10.2 for download. Thanks. Otto.
