Hi folks,
did anyone realized that milestones 4 and 5 are only 3 days apart ?
Are you going to add anything significant within these three days ?

Any suggestions for a firefox 3.5 install that keeps simply not running? The error message only flashes up for 0.1s, so impossible to catch. un-install / re-install has fixed it once, but now it’s gone again.

Congratulations! Grateful work. openSUSE 11.2 M2 is a huge step, it’s great, fast and easy to use. M2 is also a good way to use up to date applications and to close the long gaps between the 9 months release cycles.

Since 1985 I have used every available OS as well as suse-linux since 1997. There is no need anymore to use windows for standard applications. Sooner or later special applications will be at least available for unix too.

I’m not very pleased to see, that children have to use windows in school. In schools they don’t know any other operating system than windows as well as no other office package than msoffice. In this way schools and teachers mutate to an one of the most important dealer channel for microsoft- with long term effects.

M2 is very promising. The default KDE4 works great. Time to say goodbye to KDE3… Keep up the good work!

I submitted a comment on 6/03, and the configuration of my Dell 2400 is the same, so I won’t waste anymore space covering that. I tried another complete install from the LiveCD. I received a message that I have less than 1 GB RAM (I have 768 MB). A little later during the installation, a window popped up that said “Error activating KDB configuration. If you report the situation as a bug, please include — the result of xprop -root | grep XKB and — the result of gconftool -z -R /desktop/gnove/peripherals/keyboard/kbd” (However, I can’t get to these since I can’t get past installation).

Shortly thereafter, I got a window asking to reboot. I chose to reboot and it came back in 1024 x 768 mode, showing “Preparing 1st System Configuration.” A windows showing the system would now probe graphics card. The system reverted to an 80-wide text screen and a number of messages flew by, but so fast that I wasn’t able to read, let alone copy them. Then the monitor went blank and my system hung. The hard drive LED flickered about once a second, as if a log file was being created. However, I couldn’t get the keyboard/mouse to do anything.

I rebooted and chose failsafe mode. A window popped up saying the previous installation failed, did I want to continue? I chose “yes.” It came up in 1024 x 768 mode and showed it was working on automatic configuration. When it got to probing the graphics card, it hung my system again.

Since the LiveCD part of the installation works at 1024 x 768 already, I’d like the developers to let me bypass the probing the graphics card until the completion of installation. Something has changed between openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1/11.2, because my Dell 2400 installed and works fine with openSUSE 11.0. Can someone check what has changed? Unless I can install 11.1/11.2 on my Dell 2400, I’m going to have to install Ubuntu or some other version of Linux that works. I’d prefer to stay with openSUSE, because I also have a Dell 8300 that runs openSUSE 11.1 flawlessly.

installed just fine, however it wants me to set up update repositories, but errors out each time. the “configure one now” will show a repository and finish but then kde puts up a notice asking to configure one again, and the repository is blank…this one errors our on looking for either a key file or key site (key being in the name). love the new look and feel, and it seems faster on my old gateway 675 laptop than 11.1 did.

Did a test install of milestone 2 went smooth but it will not connect to wireless network WPA2 (personal). Router shows connection but network manager does not complete the connection. Atheros.
