Well, it depends. (f.e. on how/where it locks up or what doesn’t/does work)
If you can somehow get into your system and connect to the Internet, you could still remove the Factory repo and do a “zypper dup” to switch everything back to 12.3 and it should work again.
Have you tried to boot to recovery mode (“Advanced options” at the boot menu)? If you already have the Factory kernel you should also be able to select the 12.3 kernel there.
Or when it locks up (it does during boot, right?), try to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text mode login (at least a wired network connection should be possible even in text mode with ifup). Hint: As I already showed you once, you can run YaST also in text mode to set up the network f.e. (“sudo /sbin/yast”)
There would also be other ways to repair the system (at least for advanced users).
But since it was a quite fresh install anyway, a reinstall might be the easiest thing to do… You should be able to at least keep your home partition with your user’s settings.
I did a reinstall and it was painless. It even retained my customizations including 2 open pages in Firefox.
pretty impressive.
So I am back at ground zero and ready to start anew.
I see that a repository has libhangul1 available to be installed but it is scary, the number of things it affects.
It also has a lot of 32 bit stuff in it.
I think I am going to do a bunch more reading and practice on a test machine tomorrow.
As has already been said, you don’t need any extra repo for libhangul1. It is there in the standard repo!
Also as it is a library, you shouldn’t have to install it manually. If you install a program that needs it (ibus-hangul f.e.), it will be installed automatically.
And for the future: be careful with those extra repositories and 1-click installs!
Only use them if you are sure they are for 12.3… (otherwise the Factory repo may get added automatically f.e. )
And even then, better use them sparingly because they CAN break your system, expecially if it is some random home:xxx repository.
Most of what you need, should be in the standard repo anyway (maybe a bit outdated though)…
If in doubt, ask.
A question: when I am looking in Yast and I see software entries, some having a checkmark in the box and others without, does the checkmark mean that the package has been installed ?
Also pay attention to the tabs at the bottom right they give you a lot of info on the package. Also notice the extended search features they can be very helpful (the check boxes below the search entry).
I replied about getting korean working in another thread but it seems to have disappeared.
Anyway - you will need to install in IME (like ibus)
in addition you will need to install a language file for ibus - for Korean ibus-hangul
I’m not sure but you may also need to install libhangul (or it may get dragged in as a dependency)
In addition you will need to install some korean fonts
Once installed launch ibus and you will get an icon in the tray that looks like this
Yeah, I posted about getting it working and those posts along with a bunch more got lost in the giant bit bucket.
It had to do with having the proper release of fcitx.
