[opensuse] v11.0 Beta2 on Thinkpad 390X
Just finished installing Beta2 on my Thinkpad 390X(P-3/500, 256MB, 40GB). 1. Install went smoothly. Very few dependency issues. (I did not install zypper this time). When I tried to deselct beagle, the only option was beagle-firefox. Is it actually there?(noticed same thing on my PPC install). Speed much better compared to v10.3 2. System was able to start without reboot. Maybe the prior screen should explain that a little better? 3. YaST started in text-mode after installed system came up for hardware config(noticed same issue on my PPC install). 4. Power management still broken. v10.3 did not work either. Possibly a model specific issue. Power management works properly on my Powerbook. I installed KDE 3 as the desktop. I tried KDE 4 on my Powerbook, but it was very different, and I didn't care for the setup. I couldn't figure out how to change stuff. I did not install any eye candy(partly due to low end machine, partly because I don't care for it). Good work devs. I think v11.0 will be a huge improvement over the v10.x series. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Ok, couple of more Things: 1. The YaST printer module didn't get installed by default on either of the 2 machines I have. After installing the module, YaST tried to install zypper, which I had set to taboo. 2. Since the graphical YaST doesn't work, I used text. Upon starting it gives a red box with the follwoing error: UI Syntax Error Invalid arguments for the PushButton widget Check the log file! 3. Setting up the printer was confusing. I use a network printer, and when selecting the options, I missed the setup for the model, and then I missed the paper type. This module should probably be condensed into 1 option instead of 3. 4. Selecting the printer - boy that was fun. a really little window came up(that of course can't be resized in text mode). And the refresh on trying to page down through the manufacturer list was really slow. 5. Printing did work properly after setup. Wireless - Did not work on my Powerbook. I did a make uninstall from the madwifi directory, but I haven't had any success getting the wireless to work. I will probably try to re-install and see what happens. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
