All kinds of issues with 11.1 Update when all was well 11.0

Here are the things that all broke:

  • USB WebCam drivers not available
  • Vmware Workstation 6.5.1 for Linux
  • Bluetooth mouse no longer works

Of course these three things for me are showstoppers becuase I use them all the time. Is this becuase it’s RC1? if things are supposed to work why did all this break after the update as well as a clean re-install?

By definition 11.1 RC1 is still in development. Stick with the current version if you don’t want these problems, or be involved in submitting bug reports etc.

As stated from openSUSE News » Development Release: openSUSE 11.1 RC 1 Now Available

Remember that this is a release candidate, and is not suitable for use on production systems, however. Though many openSUSE users can and do use the Factory distribution and/or testing releases for day-to-day work we want to stress that it’s entirely possible that you will encounter serious bugs.
