So far good.

I'm only a bit surprised of the kernel, see my sig...

I just finished installing and I've configured the NFS and Samba shares
from the server to mount as usual.

I've also booted with systemd. Everything works fine, about an hour of
experience only though

I can't haven't found the usual multimedia stuff from Packaman yet.

I'll see if the Tumbleweed-Packman stuff will work...

I used "zypper update" to update my M3 test system to M5. That's the 32 bit version. I might later download the install media for 64 bit, and give that a try.

Noticed thus far:

I still can only boot the default kernel. The desktop kernel hangs at boot - it seems to hang while trying to load the kernel. This was already a problem with M3 (reported as bug 708214).

NetworkManager now seems to work in KDE, though I have not tested this extensively. I have not yet attempted to define any network. It is running off previous definitions that existed in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections" and previously configured in gnome.

In KDE (seems to be KDE-4.7.1) there are two firefox launchers and two dolphin launchers in the panel. One of each looks much like the launcher from 4.6. The other uses a smaller icon and is to the right of the pager. I tried removing those (the ones with smaller icons). They remove without problems. But if I logout and login again, then they are back there.

I guys thank for being on time for this milestone
I have problem with my wireless card :
realtek RT8188CE

And I have this information :

Is this a well known problem or I will stay with my wired connexion ?

other question : when you release a milestone like that what kind of feedback to you need ?

I have opensuse 12.1 M5 64 bits kde

See ya

Those messages are for your sound card. See the ALSA? They have nothing to do
with your wireless.

We need nothing as we are not developers. Other people do that, and very few of
them are reading this. If you have really found a bug, you need to file one at
https://bugzilla.novell.com, but before you do, we will try to fix your wireless.

FWIW, I am connecting to the Internet using my RTL8188CE, so I know it works.

First of all, install the rfkill package using:

sudo zypper in rfkill

Next see if your network is being blocked:

/usr/sbin/rfkill list

If the output indicates a "soft" block, try to clear it with

sudo /usr/sbin/rfkill unblock all

If the output indicates a "hard" block, then turn your wifi switch on.

Once the blocks are cleared, then run

sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan

and post the output.

I have met a same problem, After install M5, it can't recognize the wireless card. The card is intel N 1030

Let us know if the Tumbleweed multimedia stuff works. I'll give it a shot too if it does! Seeing as 11.4 has some problems for me, I'm eager to put 12.1 as my "production" box ASAP.

So I just installed openSUSE 12.1 M5 as a virtual session (VirtualBOX) and it is working like a champ. I had no installation problems. If you try to download the 64 bit DVD, you get a 404 error. The bad link says:

http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...137-x86_64.iso

But the real name link is:

openSUSE-DVD-Build0250-x86_64.iso

So the link is just bad for the file name, but that is the only issue that I have found. I am using 12.1 M5 right now with this message.

Thank You,

The little launchers point to your default file manager and web browser regardless of what it is. That's a feature of 4.7. Whether or not there should be two sets...I'm presuming that will be banged out later.

I got it eventually working by increasingly adding stuff from Tumbleweed
(deps).

The more Tumbleweed it became the better it worked.

Conclusion with my poor skills:
Tumbleweed just works, M5 doesn't (yet) in this respect

I'll do another install and try it as a LAMP serever.
