[12.3 64Bit RC2]-New Native Install-Clock Is Wrong?/No Internet?

[12.3 64Bit RC2]-New Native Install-Clock Is Wrong?/No Internet?

Hi,

I did a fresh native install of openSUSE 12.3 64Bit RC2.

During the install it setup the timezone and clock but the time was incorrect?
I changed the clock manually, but it incorrectly changed the BIOS clock time?

After successful installation, I had no Internet connection?
(tried with two different network cards: Realtek PCIe Gigabit NIC & Intel PCI Gigabit NIC)

I tried to look in the bug tracker to see if these two issues were reported, but could not verify.
Anyone else have these two issues with 12.3 64Bit RC2 ?
Thanks!

Hi
You have to use YaST to configure the network, it’s using ifup… else
change to Networkmanager.

Time, not sure, mine was fine but I use UTC (as in BIOS clock set to
this), then registry tweak for windows…

Hi,

The most important thing is Internet access.
This should just work right after an installation?

I hope this is fixed for the official release on the 13th.

If you installed from the DVD, then your system is probably configured for “ifup”.
If you installed from live media, your system is probably configured for “NetworkManager”

The release-notes (found in “/usr/share/doc/release-notes/openSUSE”) explain how to switch between “ifup” and “NetworkManager”. You probably can’t switch between them with Yast

If you are using “ifup” mode, then configure your network cards with Yast. Set them to start with “Cable Connect” rather than “On Boot” - otherwise the routing might default to using the card that is not plugged into an ethernet cable.

I don’t know about the time problems. I set the hardware clock to UTC, and I had no problems.

Hi,

The Internet should just work out of the box.
I’m not the only person complaining about this.
This has to be fixed in release version on 13th.

So? Don’t tell us, we know. We are just users like you.

I have not seen that issue. Are you perhaps using local time in the
bios? Can you elaborate?

Hi
AFAIK this is the new default… suggest you raise a bug or hit the
development mailing list with your concerns.

For me and the GNOME desktop, my wireless internet worked fine from the
get-go with NetworkManager without user intervention (after a reboot
on RC1). Only the wired interface didn’t come up, which for me is a
minor issue as it’s not used 99.999% of the time.

There is a bug report at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806993
Add comments there. So far it is getting no action. I find the RC2 default really inferior to RC1.
