Disabled PulseAudio and sound came back and now no delays in sound
alerts.

Also fixed after disabling PulseAudio but I doubt there’s a

That has also gone after disabling PulseAudio so I guess that was what
was raising the cryptic warning messages. Pity it couldn’t identify
itself.
So, only remaining problems are (1), (2) and (5).

I installed the 32Bit version with KDE from DVD on my old test-laptop. I encountered the same installation problem as in M2:
After the first reboot during installation the second part of the installation (configuration) is skipped and the normal login window comes up.
There I need to login as root (the only available user) and configure everything manually.
My Computer has been removed due to the fact that kio_sysinfo has been dropped for openSUSE 12.3. Most likely due to the amount of features that are broken.

Just installing GNOME3, I still have the problem with not being able to
log back in.
I downloaded the KDE Live x86_64 build 348. It wouldn’t install within VBox 2.4.6 on my 12.2 host. The live cd won’t run either. If I choose installation, I get “Failed to access perfctr msr” is one of the first messages, then other text rolls by and then I’m taken to a command prompt.
Major problems with the 64-bit dvd install also. The installation went okay but the configuration part went to YaST2 ncurses mode and then stalled with the following message:
“Redirecting to systemctl --ignore-dependencies stop network”
Nothing happened after that. I guess installs within VirtualBox have issues.
The message I mentioned above about “perfctr msr” also appears with the dvd install.

Yes, I’ve entered a bug with a workaround for what I found. Bug #799492.
The message you’re seeing is because the GUI isn’t started. It can be
worked around, just Host+F2 to another VT, log in as root, and remove the
packages I list in the bug, and then install the host tools.
You’ll get an error on compilation, but the necessary guest components
will install. Reboot the VM and you’ll have a GUI.
Root password requested for shutdown/reboot
Both these reported in bugs
Also seeing system issues when working in su - terminal (I have been working with grub)
But was finding once I’m working in the terminal I can start any more applications
On both my desktop PCs (running 12.2) Kinfocenter only provides information under the “summary” menu item. None of the other menu items respond when clicked. This is also true in 12.3. “My Computer” gave a useful selection of info in one place.
Does everyone else see the same with Kinfocenter? Can it be classed as a bug or is it simply something waiting to be completed one day?
