Just wondering if there were any plans for a live Tumbleweed CD in the future?

No, as tumbleweed installs from the most recent distribution release and this one has a live
CD. That is, the CD is now the one for 12.2.

That’s unfortunate because the live cd doesn’t work for me, as soon as I configure everything and boot into the desktop the mouse and keyboard freeze, same thing with the DVD. Everything works while installing, but as soon as I get finished installing the mouse and keyboard freeze, no input. I can try installing from a 12.1 cd, add tumbleweed repos then update and hope for the best or wait for the next release. I’m still deciding. In the meantime Sabayon 10 works great.
I’d really like to know what kernel in tumbleweed now as I was using the 3.5.3 kernel and everything worked great, then I updated to the 12.2 disaster, if it’s at 3.5.x it might be worth giving the 12.1 cd a try.
Maybe a strange idea, but did you also unplug and then again plug in the keyboard and mouse again.
It helped me and had no problem after this strange way of error handling.

There is no 3.5 kernel in Tumbleweed, yet, sorry, so even if there was a
“live cd”, it wouldn’t work for you.
What in 3.5 fixed problems for you that you are having in 3.4? Please
let the kernel developers know about this so it can get resolved for
everyone (on the opensuse-kernel mailing list, not here.)

Interesting idea, but I tried using a PS3 keyboard which didn’t work either and the usb one still didn’t work after switching back.
I’ve been using tumbleweed since 11.2 or 11.3, almost from the start. Up until now everything’s worked pretty well. There was a problem with dolphin for awhile, necessitating the use of konqueror, but other than that no major problems. USB 3.0 was a little flaky and slowly caused increasing mouse cursor problems (freezing, erratic movements) when a 3.0 flash drive was plugged in, but 3.5 fixed that. I removed my usb 3.0 card to see if that would help now, but it had no effect.
The only reason I’m interested in a 3.5 kernel in a tumbleweed cd is that everything was working so well until the 12.2 “update” which downgraded the kernel back to 3.4. The kernel version may be irrelevant, but what I do know is that 12.2 and the 3.4 kernel do not work on my system and without a keyboard or mouse I don’t think there’s any way to even troubleshoot anything.
Thanks,
