KDE crashes Xorg when used in kvm or virtualbox, but I don’t
consider it grave enough to delay Milestone, so I would like
to release this week. The Xorg crash does not hit on real
hardware I have available and GNOME and XDE do not have
this problem (we assume it’s related to KDE windows effects
on unaccelerated hardware).

64bit LiveCD KDE shows the crashes oldcpu described on 32bit. Couldn’t catch it quick enough, but AFAICS it crashes on /tmp/dbus-server not being available. Checked, dbusd runs.
The Xorg crash does not hit on real
hardware I have available and GNOME and XDE do not have
this problem (we assume it’s related to KDE windows effects
on unaccelerated hardware).
I had this issue on 11.3 after doing a zypper dup from the factory repo so I assume there are some changes in kde breaking X. I don’t like using the stable 45 repo because some things aren’t there ie smooth tasks/fancy tasks from kde extras won’t run.
Thanks for that quote. I use a hardware KVM switch, but I think Stephan is refering to a different KVM ?? I suppose I could crawl under the table and for a test change my wiring, to bypass the hardware KVM, although I am not keen to do so (I’m getting too old for such crawling).
It does make me think what I encountered is a known problem, and that it might be counter productive for me to raise a bug report.
… it does ‘beg the question’ to me, … who typically updates those “most annoying bug” pages ? Are regular users like myself encouraged to make such updates?
I’m wondering the same thing, Oldcpu. Milestone 2 has yet to be officially announced, so I suppose there’s still time for the most annoying bugs page to be updated.
When I move windows in GNOME on this system, I see window redraws. And it’s quirky.
My guess window effects should be disabled for this (Intel) graphics adapter.
I am very pleased that Wireless connectivity works out-of-the-box on both those systems.
BTW: For some reason, I got the same Smolt Public Profile for this system (bug in Smolt? Same external IP address, as LAN is behind router with NAT?)
So system details can’t be fully shared.
Has someone had same kind of issue (same Public ID for two different systems) with Smolt?
I use KDE 4.4.x on this netbook, and there are no stability problems.
Screen redraws are ok, so problems with window redraws mentioned above (11.4 M2) can be caused by recent updates in Xorg or GNOME.
I invite everyone who experienced this problem go to https://bugzilla.novell.com/ , login (same login/password as for Forum) and vote for this bug.
You can also comment directly to this bug, and add attachment (if problemn is specific to hardware - we do not know yet - that #hwinfo > my-hwinfo.txt would be helpful)
I note the bugzilla needs updating for Milestone-2 and openSUSE-11.4 also, as it is missing fields, and they will reduce the quality of bug categorization, and I am concerned could have a overall negative impact on team efforts to ensure bugs are properly assigned and prioritized to fix. I noted this on IRC #opensuse-factory (but had silence in return).
Build 770 from the factory iso’s seems to work a lot better. No problem with log in. Desktop effects work a lot better. Although they are a bit slow. I notice that compiz works a lot better but there is no title bar
