Goodbye everyone and thanks for your time and help! Last updates I applied from Yast, broke my system completely.
It took a while to realize, since i needed to reboot to use them, and I opted for some repartitioning before using them.
My network card is no longer recognized, iptables are not started, Yast crashes. Please save yourself the trouble and
stay away from 12.2! I am moving to greener pastures with Ubuntu.
Cheers,
Nikos

Well, apart from saying goodbye to @nbal, we should say goodbye to this thread and send it to soapbox!!!
As I noted in this person’s original thread and a lesson to all that follow, beware striking out on a path of your own. When “normal” packages like Network Manager don’t install from the beginning that should not be a sign to start making manual edits, it should be a sign you didn’t set up properly in the first place… You need to fix what you did wrong and START OVER.

Did op know that Ubuntu ships the dreaded “Unity” ?
Never mind Unity. He is probably going to get stuck on the same networking problems that troubled him with opensuse. He has failed to adapt to change.
Please hold off on any further posts to this message thread until it has been moved.
Thank You,

Why do humans have this egotistical need to announce that they are leaving a group for another? Why not pretend that you are in a crowded theatre and quietly exit house left?
Sometimes, i repeat sometimes ,some useful points may come out such threads when there is meaningful exchange of quantifiable/understandable data/feedback.

and that +1 is not because that Goodbye was about openSUSE. Given
literally hundreds of linux distros (and all those other
software/hardware whatever else which is discussed) out there, if
everybody who is unsatisfied with one of them does that kind of dramatic
posts when leaving then soon all fora from all distros will be filled up
with nothing than that.

They want us to know that they are dissatisfied and for us to feel disappointed in their departure. It is a way to strike out against frustration (which I assure you will follow you to any distro).
Good luck to you.
Well this is ridiculous, nothing would ever get advanced with the schema you are suggesting. Someone needs to shout out or give the send off, otherwise nothing would ever change even if we do not think anything needs changed. Maybe it is a “folllow me” type syndrome I donno. Hmmm’ this is a Good question. Do we have any human behaviorist in the crowd?

In general, it’s a “flounce”. It’s seeking attention, and about as
useful as responding to an offensive post by saying “plonk” (ie,
indicating that the user has been “plonked”, or filtered so the reader
isn’t seeing their stuff any more).

Yes Yes, we know what it is…but why does it happen that is the question. Bhaa, I am uninterested now anyway. I still think it might be genetic or cultural perhaps.
I do like that word though, flounce. It reminds me of what happens when I have not had my coffee or whatever you Dutch have.

It happens because people are seeking attention. They want to feel like
they’re slamming the door in someone’s face.
There are rare occasions where it’s more than that - but generally not.
When it’s just “I’m leaving - good bye!”, it’s a flounce. When it’s “I’m
leaving because I’m unhappy and I want you to know why” and the person
sticks around and interacts to help improve what they see are problems
(or to try to understand why their interpretation of events isn’t
accurate), then it’s helpful.
But if I had a dollar for every angry “You guys stink, I’m outta here!
Bye!” I’ve seen in my time in online forums, I could retire.
And I tend not to get too invested in people who act that way. It wastes
my energy and my time, and since they’ve left and aren’t coming back,
arguing with them is a pointless and futile exercise.

I’m not Dutch. I’m American, and coffee or tea is what I have.

To the OP: goodbye to you too.
Like in real life there’s a couple of ways to leave as well as to say goodbye. I’ve seen posts here where people stated they could not find a happy situation for the combo of their hardware and openSUSE, I’ve seen the pure rants. It says something about personality, like it says something about personality if one does or does not like these posts to be made. Personally I think that the majority of goodye-rant-posters will leave and enter other distros just as easy, exactly the same way.
My thoughts exactly.
In this context, perhaps for the same reason some leave a suicide note; to explain their suffering and say enough is enough. Why on earth is it egotistical to say goodbye politely as the OP did? You may as well say that if they chose to leave quietly it’s due to low self-esteem, even when they just didn’t think it worth bothering about.
In any case, a forum has nothing in common with a theatre audience not wishing to be distracted, even when subjected to the occasional farce. I see the OP (soon to be ex OP) even believes in “going to a better place”. Good luck with that, I say.
