I have installed RC2 in one system. I’ll try on another later.
One problem, which I’ll report in a followup to this post.
First problem with RC2 - crypto did not work on initial boot.
Background. Both “/home” and swap are using LUKS encryption.
On the first boot, the system hung at:
Creating device nodes with udev
I have no idea of the cause, but am guessing that it might have been crypto-related. I had to force power off.
Booted a different system (12.1 on the same computer). Running “fsck” showed no problems. Since I forced power off, I think that means that no file system had been mounted.
I edited grub.cfg (in “/boot/grub2”), and removed “splash=silent quiet” from the kernel line.
I then tried booting again. The boot screen was noisy. There was never any prompt for the crypto key. However, the system did boot without swap and without “/home” mounted. Yast started to complete the setup. It warned me that “/home” was not mounted.
At that point, I used CTL-ALT-F2 to get a terminal shell (already logged in as root, it seems). There, I manually open the encrypted “/home”. When I tried to mount, I found that it was already mounted. So something was running in the background to complete the crypto handling, and it mounted “/home” as soon as it found that it was available.
CTL-ALT-F7 got me back to the Yast screen, where I allowed the final configuration to complete.
Then, logged into KDE, I opened a root shell and manually opened the encrypted swap and did a “swapon”.
Next I ran “mkinitrd”.
Note, that I added the swap first, because it is my impression that “mkinitrd” partly goes by what is running on the current system.
The “mkinitrd” looked successful.
I rebooted. This time the plymouth splash came up properly, I was prompted for the crypt keys, and all went well.
I’ll report this as a bug later. However, it is hard to tell what the problem is. I cannot repeat the same circukstances without doing a fresh reinstall.
I’m hoping that others with the same problem will see this and add their reports. If several people have the problem, then it will be easier to know how to report the bug.
I installed RC2 tonight it works - for me - better than RC1.
- plymouth prompts for the crypt key (encrypted /home) : OK now
- the KDE NetworkManager applet is able to cope with my old WLAN card again; first time in 12.2
- Apper does not apply updates: regression from RC1; I need to investigate this further before filing a bug report
… to be continued …
happy testing!
hi there!
duly: is 12.2 rc2 same as “FACTORY”?
so…why’s asking me so many packages to install\upgrade?

The following product is going to be upgraded:
openSUSE
1157 packages to upgrade, 199 new.
Overall download size: 880.0 MiB. After the operation, additional 1.1 GiB will be used.
Installed 64 bit Gnome on the desktop, no problems so far. Now I install 32 bit Gnome on my netbook, surprisingly kernel-firmware isn’t on the default selection for 32 bit while it is for 64 bit. In 12.1 I used 32 bit on both machines and had to manually select the package, makes at least my wireless work out of the box.
…?..
btw: ‘nada’ on distrowatch!
…?..
No, I am pretty sure it is not. As far as I know, FACTORY is already working on the early stages of 12.3, and 12.2 was split off into a separate development line.

No; Factory is 12.3 now.

SO I have a big big problem with openSUSE 12.2 RC2 with my real install (as opposed to a VM). I normally install the nVIDIA video driver. After a zypper dup command, when I log into KDE my display goes upside down and backwards. There is no way to guess where anything is at to select with your mouse. You can do an Ctrl-Alt-F1 and get a right side up terminal session. I have seen this before after an update of openSUSE 12.1 with the latest xorg and KDE4 files. I don’t know how to over come the issue. I can do a Alt-Shift-F12, turn off Desktop Effects and the display goes back to normal. It seems to be a nvidia/KDE4/xorg problem, but you can do the same deed to openSUSE 12.1 if you want to. Not sure what to even complain about or to whom, but its stops me dead for now, at least using any desktop effects.
Thank You,
Thx folks!
after the
zypper up
all went fine! now I need to know how to change my repos for **Factoy repos ?
**tia!

Are you really sure you want Factory repos? At this point, they are for 12.3 and
much of the stuff is unlikely to work.
If you still want them, you need to set repos to

You really want dup here, not up.

folks who don’t know they should not use factory or ‘up’ are not gonna
be extremenly helpful in finding, documenting or squashing RC2 bugs…

No, Factory and 12.2 RC2 are two different things 
Good day, here is my feedback on openSUSE 12.2 RC 2:
- the upgrade process from RC1 to RC2 went well, all 1400+ packages where upgraded without any problems. The major issue i had here was that after i rebooted the system the bootloader menu did not appeared, after seeing ”welcome to grub…” the screen stayed black. To solve this i had to reinstall Grub 2 using one of the live CD and chroot. After this issue was solved, using the system did not prompted me with any problems while running KDE plus apps like Firefox, Yast → Software management or Desktop Settings
- testing live CD`s went also well, even if i could see in the output that the Vbox module failed to load. I could say that as a normal user i did not encountered any issues for the programs used. Excellent work in fixing the bugs so far !
Hello,
I don’t speak very well english.
I had the same problem. It’s because of the update of the kernel. And the grub.cfg file cannot be actualized. I had this:

The file grub-mkconfig_lib is in /usr/share/grub2, not in /usr/lib/grub. So i made a symbolic link and it works!

a little tiny typo: factory [factort]
