[opensuse] First experience with Leap 42 on Lenovo G 505
Hi all, Finally I gave a try to Leap this weekend. Installation with KDE (replacing 13.2) went flawlessly, but the result is not pure joy. The graphics is, well... de gustibus non est disputandum. I began to use this laptop with 13.1 and finally, suspend now works with 42. As a matter of fact, it worked also with 13.2, but the system could not come out of coma. So it is awakening, but kills the usb2 port, which I use for the mouse. Plugging the device into usb3 it works again. I spent most time with making LibreOffice5 to work and I did not succeed fully. Writer, Calc and Math now seems to work, but Impress and Draw still crashes and lead to reboot automatically. Hoped this is a KDE bug, but the same happened on Xfce. And as always, kdewallet tries to drive me crazy. Did you meet with any of the problems, especially with the suspend libre fault?

I haven't tried hibernation yet. Thunderbird has some ugly font used in the mail body, dunno which (on XFCE). -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

I installed Leap yesterday, I had tried the Beta several weeks back. So far, I am extremely disappointed with it. A lot of this has to do with KDE upstream and some of it with my optimus video card. But in my opinion, for what it's worth, the artwork IS terrible. And it appears that there has been minimal Suse customization, even the desktop folder contains virtually nothing, except one folder and trash. The installation was at first impossible (it froze at "starting udev" and gave a black screen with only a blinking cursor) until I added "nomodeset" to the kernel parameters. I have not had to mess with anything like this since I can remember (started with Suse 6.3). The rest of the installation was very straightforward and it seems improved. I don't know about the suspend issue, I have not gotten that far. Kwallet has rendered my system unusable. I can not disable it now because kwalletmanager asks for a password (which I never entered) to disable the use of kwallet. I tried to configure my wifi connection (which worked during the install) but at the end (as usual) kwallet wants to store the password. I always disable kwallet because I have never been able to configure it properly. This time I have no working wifi connection, because I can not delete the "new wifi connection" I set up, and kwallet will not allow to connect. I tried to log in as root and disable kwallet, but I guess that disables it for the root user only. I am tempted to re-install the whole thing again rather than search for an answer on how to disable kwallet. I am not complaining, these are my experiences. For me, even os 11.0 was not this hard to work with. My laptop is an 17" HP envy with optimus video setup. I installed Leap on separate partitions than my working system (os 13.2), so there is no real harm done. My 2 cents, Gustav. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
