R.S. Tse on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": I have not succeeded in making openSUSE 11.2 to print on the Brother MFC7440N printer at 192.168.2.12:9100 which I have been using with open SUSE 11.0. Printer installation was smooth, and pinging was fine, but when a test page was sent out --- to nowhere. The MFC7440N.ppd is the same. However, if I use a wrong .ppd, the printer would respond, by printing a large number of blanks. I have noticed that openSUSE uses CUPS 1.3.x. Ubuntu 9.10 uses
Alan Gruskoff on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Release 11.2 really is the best Linux ever on my systems. Very nice look & feel. Dolphin is much improved. And so many excellent Packages included. Having PostgreSQL 8.4.1 in the Distro was nice. Still a manual process to load my Nvidia driver, but once done its gets 1920x1080. Keep up the good work.
Bent on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": I was waiting for this distribution. Downloaded the same day. However, my conclusion is, after testing it, after 10 years with S.u.S.E, Suse, OpenSuse, ... - that it is time to move on. I have enjoyed Suse a lot, used it every day. on many pc's - in virtual machines, but I am tired of the problems with the installation and the upgrades that never work. I wish all that work with it, good luck and thanks for your effort over the years.

DarkMac on "Reminder: Second openSUSE Board Election Deadline Approaching!": I never liked the fact that this election is technical based only. There are several peoples out there that promote opensuse in schools, kindergartens, etc. This is what makes opensuse (in my opinion) the best linux distro ever. It is a shame that those people are not recognized at it should. Maybe next time you`ll consider adding them to a opensuse board election.
obiwan on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Yes, of course I used the Packman and VLC repositories. The trouble with 11.2 is that so many packages depend on (the useless) factory-shipped xinelib that deleting the latter truly breaks the system (which wasn't the case with 11.1). So I disabled *all* standard repos, enabled just Packman, and tried to update all xine-related stuff, only to find that some packages needed by the Packman xinelib could not be found. So I had to start all over again (enable oss and non-oss repositories,
dhruv on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": virtualbox not starting VM after upgraded to latest version upgraded to kde 4.3.3. please post some tips regarding xen to handle nvidia driver! great release opensuse 11.2!
Dich on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Folks, did anyone get ATI drivers successfully installed on 11.2? 1-click install is not available, the repositories would refuse to add, rpms downloaded from ATI site are 64 bit (though you specified 32 bit) and if you manage to modify the download URL and finally get the 32 bit ones, they are for older libstdc++ version. Are we ever getting proper accelerated graphics for linux?

Dich on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Wow guys, try the "weather" background plugin in KDE4! Still needs some tweaks and extra weather service providers, but the idea is cool! Imagine having the weather backgrounds from different cities on different desktops, named accordingly!
Respek!
P.S. Second attempt to bypass this idiotic spam filter

P.P.P.S. 4Michael on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Sorry this change doesn't help. Only this helps: edit: /etc/sysconfig/proxy note that although the proxy urls are written there, they do not include the authentication parts. i.e. only http://my.proxy.com:8080 rewrite to include: http://username:password@my.proxy.com:8080 or: http://workgroupusername:password@my.proxy.com:8080 Attention: your password is not secure (cleartext)!!!
Easterner on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": 11.2 is a great release. I was unable to install from DVD iso image. I burned the iso image on DVD however the DVD was not recognized. I have used this process before with 11.0 and 11.1 and worked. The zypper upgrade process was excellent the upgrade was very smooth compared to upgrades of past. The new gnome is awesome! Thanks to to great effort by the extended team of developers and testers who have contributed to this endeavor and results
Joe on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Can you say Slackware?
Bharat on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": Great release. I upgraded to 11.2 from 11.1 through zypper -dup and everything working nice. In fact I get the feeling I am still using 11.1 sometimes. No more hassles of burning disks, and all that come with installation. Congrats to the devs on making this possible. Both KDE & Gnome are great & polished. And I installed 11.2 with XFCE with netinstaller on an old laptop and its working like a charm on it too. Thanks
duke on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": seems plug and play does'nt work any more. I mean in 11.0 I plugged my printer on and everything installed automatically and worked perfectly. 11.2 does'nt even want to know about my printer.
MasterPatricko on "Reminder: openSUSE Project Meeting Wednesday November 18, 2009 at 16:00 UTC": The date in the message header/title is wrong ... somewhat misleading
outside_n_wnc on "openSUSE 11.2 Released!": 11.2 is a horrible release- I have been using Opensuse since 9.x and have dealt with the ati issues and broadcomm wireless issues no problems, but it would always install- when installing 11.2 I have never had as many problems- my machine will not even boot to a text mode/ terminal while 11.1 installed effortlessly- I've done the install media checksum checks at every stage- the Opensuse team has failed miserably on this one-
