Whenever I start a browser, it asks me to enter my root password because of some pgp keyring issue. (no idea what that means) I googled and I set my password as standard in seahorse, but no change.
The Gnome3 interface sometimes lags very noticeably.
Packagekit constantly blocks my zypper use, and it won’t shut down. Not even after I log out and log in again. I tried just removing everything related to packagekit, but that just breaks everything.
Searching for repositories is a pain and there are too many different ones and I never know which one is the latest and how these will be upgraded in the future. Zypper itself is awesome, everything else about package and repo management is not.
I can’t uninstall applications properly. I remove them via zypper, and when I do a distro update they get added back in. (gnome games for example)
Whenever I install or search for anything in zypper, I get hundreds of these errors:
GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See GConf configuration system for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: The connection is closed)
…but it still finds something.
This is not some kind of threat, please don’t take it the wrong way, but I fear that I’m gonna have to go back to Fedora because of these issues. It’s just not easy to work with Opensuse like this.
No need to uninstall anything packagekit related, just press alt+F2 and enter gnome-session-properties <enter> and disable (uncheck) it to start in the list.
Yes I did. In fact, I installed OpenSuse multiple times, each time trying a different route. First with one-click installation, then on the command line. I also tried the Gnome2 and KDE4 route. KDE4 doesn’t recognise my second monitor, and in all installations I had this packagekit issue.
It’s just surprising to me that so many issues exist which seem like a pretty big deal to me. Unfortunately I really like Gnome 3 and can’t go back to Gnome2.

Just an off the wall idea, try installing opensuse 11.3 and then select
VirtualBox, VMWare, KVM or Zen virtualization and install 11.4/gnome 3
into a VM.

Impossible. You can not install openSUSE that way. You get the CD or DVD
and boot it. It is something else you installed the way you describe.

Well, G3 is experimental.
