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?
No panic message. The machine just locks up solid with the wifi and caps lock leds flashing alternately. I know how to deal with a kernel panic, but this but seems to put the kernel to sleep. Its not in a tight loop or the fan would come on eventually. There are no messages in the logs around the time the machine locks up. its just dead :(
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.
Ciao, Marcus
If you recompile the 11.1 kernel (for instance to turn on tracing cause the kernel's buggy) then the yast provided driver no longer works. so you have to get one from nvidia and install it by hand :( wcn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
