Hi, i am using the dell i7 laptop with 16 GB memory. I start the Suse OS 12.2 and i see the temperature raises from 65% to 84% with just the firefox browser opened. Also i have a inbuilt graphics and a nvidia graphics card, i am unable to switch between the two, and as nvidia provides the install itself can we use that in the build itself. Can you please help in fixing these in the latest versions.
Also can you please include the sesudo software and please also add the non oss and any other opensuse links in the repository.

Sorry i did not meant to say anything negative, as i always love linux with Open Suse installed, just trying to make better of it.

64 bit DVD install hangs at little over 30% .

Tried to install it alongside of win 7 on ASUS X5DC laptop.

Partitioned as:
sda6 /boot
sda7 /SWAP
sda8 /
sda9 /home

GRUB2 set to sda6

Previous DVD iso hanged same way too.

Sure. I made up a quick-and-dirty guide, with screenshots. Click my pseudonym to go there.

When will UEFI support be implemented? Difficult to get any Linux on a new laptop.

Real men who dare to install this on real hardware should also be aware that their boot manager can be damaged by 12.3 Beta 1.
And of course, that SUSE does not offer any way to fix boot manager, there is no such option in the DVD, Yast or whatever. Grub2 does not even have a menu editor in Yast.
Just lost half a day in trying to get my other operating systems back. I would never dare to endanger my work computer, but this all worked with same partitioning with GRUB2 and SUSE 12.3 milestone 2.
Anyway, the Yast message “The GRUB2 is still under develope and test. Proceed?” adds to the flair.
Never trust software with typos in it.

Also for me OpenSuse 12.3 beta 1 would not be installed in a Virtualbox. Can you give me some detail steps to fix it. (I red about runlevels but do not understand that.)

Can we PLEASE have Mono 3.03 (the absolute latest) version as the default in 12.3 ?

Yes, its marked as the BETA non LTS version on the go-mono page, but the features are worth the jump. Allow fallback to LTS 2.10.x in the repository.

Features in 3.x vs 2.10 are:

C# 5.0 compiler
.NET 4.5 Profile

Microsoft OpenSource Frameworks which include:
System.Net.Http.Formatting.dll
System.Web.Http.dll
System.Web.Razor.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll
System.Web.WebPages.dll
System.Web.Mvc.dll
System.Json.dll
EntityFramework.dll

New SGEN, Garbage collectors etc etc…

From memory the last build had 3.01… Which had a few issues.

3.03 built from source seems very stable in my testing.
