As allready posted above to another one having a problem not even remotely related to the subject of this news:

Please go to forums.opensuse.org for all your technical problems with openSUSE. That is where your fellow openSUSE users volunteer to help.

12.1 Update were handled via the beginning via this mechanism.

The signing issue is unrelated that.

Users will not have to change anything. The real change for the packager is still comming. We will communicate that when we are ready.

Elvin,

If you are using Windows 7 and you are going to Dual-boot, you MUST install Windows first. I went through this process a few months ago and was unable to recover my existing Linux partition after having to play around with my setup to get a Windows 7 service pack installed. Also note, make sure you install all Windows service packs BEFORE you install Linux, because the MS service pack installation won’t work if the Windows Boot Manager isn’t your boot manager. I believe there are a couple of hacks out there that will let you work around this limitation to get a service pack installed, but can’t find the link to the one I used. Best to get the Windows partition fully updated before you install Linux.

As an aside, I also use VirtualBox under Linux to run Windows, and it works great for everything (I use Visual Studio running on XP under VirtualBox) except a few games, which is my only reason for having Windows 7 as a dual-boot option. If you don’t have some specific reason for dual-booting, VirtualBox is a very viable option, though I would suggest 4 gigs of RAM on your machine for it to work well.

Hope this helps,

Chris

IMHO this is far out of the scope of what is talked about here.

Just start like you install opensuse. When you abort the installation you’ll see a screen
with some options. one of them callsstart installed system.May you have to choose the right partition (it’s / ). If all runs well you can repair now the bootlader with yast.

After upgrading from suse 11.1 to suse 12.1, apache2 not started. It return with this error
“Can not load /usr/lib/apache2/mod_php5.so into server”. Could anybody explain why?

No, nobody forces me to read every news in the world, but as an openSUSE user I glance through these openSUSE news. That narrows it allready down from “every the news in the world” considerably. And when a news item then talks about the openSUSE Update repo, which I use regulary, I would like to understand if this news is something I must understand or if I must take action. I am not alone here, as the comment of ‘ali above proves.

But your answer to ‘ali answers my curiosity also. Thanks.

Well, as we got some reports about the unsigned repository, I liked to share the information about “what’s going on with 12.1 and beyond” with a wider audience, so people who were unsure about the unsigned repository are informed that this was the result of a software/sync problem and not of a hacked server or something else.

If you like to skip the information: just do it. Nobody forces you to read every news around the world. ;-)
