I keep looking for someone to comment on the Gold Master -but- so far all is quite. Does that mean that it is good and most, if not all, of the bugs have been fixed?? I would hope that is the case -but- I really can’t see that happening.
Take care,
Chuck

Look in this thread: 12.1 RC2 Is Now Available
Start at post #47. There are a number of comments on the GM there.
I think the official release date of openSUSE-12.1 GM is 16-November … I imagine shortly after that we will read all sorts of comments, across the entire spectrum of good and bad.

Here’s a link I posted yesterday:

I d/l it last night when I found that one of the opensuse mirror sites had not set the correct access permission level.
Just installed it this evening. Not that different from rc2 to be honest from my initial impressions. I still got the frozen screen on installation (like rc2) but hopefully that was due to me adding nomodeset to the boot code.
When do you get the frozen screen ? Immediately after the software/boot-manager install, as part of the kexec controlled reboot ?
I left the p/c installing and when I came back the screen was frozen with the same strange graphic as with rc 2 (as per the screen shot that you included with your own posting about rc 2).
I just did a hard re-boot and kde started normally (i.e. the install must have had completed before the lock-up). That was different to my experience with rc 2. With rc 2 after the hard re-boot the screen showed the message along the lines of ‘there was a problem with the install would you like to continue…’ Then the install continued at the ‘setting up configuration’ stage and completed normally.
I am sure that the problem must be just down to me adding nomodeset to the boot code and that an standard install will be fine as if not it may be very confusing for new opensuse users!
… maybe, but I’m not sure. I’ve seem similar without adding nomodeset (in the 1st reboot when kexec should be handling a reboot):

that is the screen
i do hope it is just down to me using nomodeset as otherwise it will be off putting for new users. There is nothing special about my p/c to have caused the problem - just a standard intel core 2 type.
On a more positive note - once installed everything runs fine. I’ve installed the nvidia driver plus all the packman multimedia rpm’s - all looks good.

It’s not nomodeset that is the problem. I also get the same as you and
oldcpu. Also, the problem with nVidia graphics - and Radeon - was
fixed at RC1 - or was it RC2? - and so nomodeset is not necessary.

GM on the 16th??? I thought that it was to be released on the 11th and the PR released on the 16th. That is why at this time (Tuesday November 15th @ 6:02am in Phx, AZ) the CountDown only has a one(1) in it. And “Last-today” being the 14th, I just thought that one of the privileged would have something to say by now.
I will check out that mention of the GM in the RC2 Available. Thanks.
Take care,

It’s great.
Is that what you wanted to hear?
YMMV of course.
Well… yeah that is what I really wanted to hear. :shame:
Not sure on the meaning of YMMV… Your Mileage May Vary -or- Your Method May Vary… Guess either would fit.
Thanks,

ymmv, in this case is obviously (imnsho) “your mileage may vary” meaning
your experience may not exactly match “It’s great.”
because you may “drive” and care for your system different from the writer…
or, you might put 12.1 in a machine with hardware which barfs…but,
Carl’s did not.
many many variables affect both fuel use on the highwayse, and
