Hi all
First the good news. I used my media box (hardware about half year old) as a play environment for beta, RC1 and Rc2. Beta and RC1 I encountered the reported issue with not being able to select additional SW during install. RC2 was ok.
Since I had only play data I did a new install, which went without a problem !
Could add repros etc…all worked.
My laptop, Asus intel 2 core 4 years old, I tried an upgrade which ended up with a suspected video driver issue with an unreadable screen. Reboot did not make any difference. Can’t recall if I tried reboot in fail safe mode. So since the data on the laptop where all secured, I did a fresh install. Same issue. Here I did reboot with fail safe, which worked. Went into yast and run an update to get all new packages. I also noticed that an intel video legacy driver was installed which I did not alter. Should have taken some notes to document all the steps…hey I just wanted it to work.
Anyway, did reboot and everything was fine. Success.
For my main machine, hardware about a year old, I secured all user data including my mail. Did an upgrade. During upgrade the system froze during automatic reboot. I restarted the machine and was prompted to “config not completed”…something like that. Put the installation DVD into the drive and off it went. This resulted in scrambled screen.
Did Ctrl-Alt backspace backspace and with some imagination I could see the login in screen. Rebooted with failsafe, which worked.
…I did not document all the steps but I got it to reboot.
Kmail did not work, the whole thing was not responsive. I saved some additional data and did a fresh install, which worked. Adding repros worked and I got all the SW I had before.
As a conclusion, update did not work for me ?!???
The question I have is: Where does Kmail now store the e-mails ??? could not find it ! My saved e-mails can be read with the new Kmail, just need to know where to put them.
