Great idea, if you have the time to do it, not everyone has. I donate free time elsewhere to other good causes, thanks, and I won’t be going back to the mac any time soon. This thread has taken a direction I am uninterested in travelling further along. Personally I couldn’t be less interested in whether gnucash works in 12.2, it works here just fine, along with all apps I want to use.
I have no idea, if you’re interested go look yourself.

You are the person interested in that application, so it is in your
interest to help having the issue solved. I’m not going to do it, I don’t
use that app.

I understand your point. I used to have the same view. Then I learned I actually SAVE time by adopting the approach I recommend. Instead of ‘messing’ around with the GM (final version0 with an app, and trying various versions of an app, or wasting time fruitlessly trying to find an elusive configuration setting for the app (which in fact does not exist due to an unreported bug), I have the bugs that impact me sorted during the milestone phase, and the GM version typically then ‘just works’. Ergo I don’t waste time after the ‘GM’ version is installed, and overall I spend far less time.
I see it like this … its like an old well, … one has to prime the pump with precious water, before the pump will deliver good water in return.
I have never once asked you or anyone else to resolve the problem. As I explained before, I resolved it another way, by using another distro. All works fine here, thank you.
No offence, but given the choice of reading to my children at bedtime or resolving an issue in gnucash, gnucash will lose every time. Family life comes before the internet here. In terms of supporting the community I regularly donate ££’s to server fee appeals etc etc, time is something I cannot donate unfortunately. There are 1000’s of distro’s to choose from, I just chose another, that’s the beauty of linux.

I don’t think openSUSE 12.1 will be upgraded to KDE 4.8 unless you are using Tumbleweed if my crystal ball (and reading posts) is correct.
The same here. Family first. Which is why I adopt the approach that takes the least time, which is to ensure the apps I want to use work in the milestone releases by a quick test. As I noted, I save time that way and I have MORE time for my family.
wrt seeking help, Carlos speaks for himself here. Our forum is all about providing help, so if you have an openSUSE problem, please feel free to ask.

that was not a very good move on your part! you had caught the interest
of a hacker/developer who probably had a good idea what you should do
next…
but, i guess you are probable now in his kill file…so, it is your loss…
and, by the way there is nothing wrong with Gnucash…it is just that
12.1 has the wrong version of guile to support it…
i’ve overheard (in another venue) that the selected guile2 won’t work,
and with an earlier version of guile the 12.1 version of Gnucash
-2.4.7-3.1.2 works fine…and i heard that the openSUSE devs have
been informed of that by the Gnucash devs…but, so far no movement has
been made to flow a replacement for the guile in update…
btw, i think this bug is interesting:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=724917
it includes work arounds…
To be fair, this thread has put me off this forum for good. I have asked an admin how to delete my account, once they reply I am gone. Thanks for the info anyway but I tried a few things on that list & finally had to give in as I had no time left.

yep, the cost in terms of price to purchase software it perfect here,
and then so many expect the same ease provided by the very costly
alternatives…
happy trails…

What does DistroWatch write about YOU?: http://tinyurl.com/SUSEonDW
Oh dear. Do you quit a forum every time you lose an argument? Poor you.
As it does for all of us. You are not replying to oldcpu here. Did you even read what he wrote?
+1 for the view that taking the time to understand what a tool is and how to make it work is not a waste, but an investment. In the sense that ultimately… it will save you time.
Let’s avoid engaging in personal attacks.

I think this sums it up. Shouldn’t this thread be closed or marked [SOLVED] or something?

I have done the process of renaming the repos and using ‘zypper dup’ to upgrade
from 12.1 to 12.2 as recommended in the blog. On a different computer, I booted
the NET install CD and did an upgrade with it. Both worked.

I am a suse user since the SuSe 8.0 ( old time better times!) and yes I did it in the same way from opensuse 12.1 to the 12.2 but, …. after some problems with my current Hardware, which during all the older versions of OS running well, I decided to re install OS12.1 back.
My HW is a notebook Lenovo T61p nothing special, with a standard nvidia graphic card and Intel CPU, including WiFi, blootooth, simple and standard, etc………
- Nvidia driver. I install the proprietary driver all the time but, with OS 12.2 ( kernel, 3.4xx) to install a proprietary driver is a hell. After day google some workaround only to start grub2 with init 3 and after that to tell the system where the header of the kernel source is, etc… I was not able to install the Nvidia driver which I like, only the last ones.
I use the driver 275.43 which all my games with wine working well. Some games in Wine couldn’t work properly or simple crashed when I use the last certified ones.
The last one kernel was install properly, but when I started the X graphic ( init 5) it was recognized only one screen ( I use an external screen in Twin mode, ect…).
- Bluetooth is not working properly.
My Bluetooth mouse is not working. Bluetooth service is available but is simple not working. Under OS 12.1 I have had some problems also but I could solve it, in OS 12.2 the work around solution for 12.1 was not solved the problem.
OK, I could accept the issue with the Bluetooth (despite my new Logitech Bluetooth mouse) but the Nvidia driver issue not. At the end the rpm nvidia repositories for 12.2 offer me a proper nvidia driver application but …. No Wine games sad.
I have installed the OS 12.1 back, tuning my system correspondingly and I decide to skip this version waiting for a mature system, where the standard current known Hardware should better supported.
