For general information about reporting bugs, see Submit a Bug. During the factory/alpha tests do not report partly translated dialogs or completely missing translations; expect updated translation during the beta tests. Also see the OpenSUSE Localization Guide.

To directly report a bug against openSUSE 11.1, here's a shortcut.

openSUSE 11.1 Beta1

General

• Bug #425480, Mail from Zonker: The Intel e1000e driver might have a serious issue with the potential to damage the network card in a way that it cannot be used any longer. Please DO NOT USE openSUSE 11.1 beta 1 on systems with Intel e1000e hardware.
• Bug #427923: Distribution uses openSUSE 11.0 branding
• Bug #427678: Build key ring of openSUSE-build-key missing in initrd. Workaround: hit "Import" on Public GnuPG Key error message, to import openSUSE:Factory OBS Project key.
• Bug #427664: openSUSE-images missing from install media. Note: Installation will be slower. Images will be added for Beta2
• Bug #427692: Desktop selection still offers KDE3. This option will go away in Beta2, and KDE3 will be moved to "other window managers."
• Bug #418585: Error: Failed to detect print queues. Workaround: Just hit OK.
• Bug #427741: 2nd stage install: Error: no network running. Workaround: hit OK
• Bug #427738: Autostarting compiz doesn't work on Thinkpad R51 -- white screen after login in GNOME. Workaround: remove "ati radeon radeonrandr12" from /usr/bin/compiz-manager line 71
• Bug #428127: Grub fails on initial installation -- appears on x86_64
• Bug #427859: gnome-settings-daemon hangs. This causes error dialogs when starting control center items and causes certain panel applets to not respond. Workaround: mkdir ~/.pulse and relogin

openSUSE 11.1 Alpha2

General

• image-based installation on x86_64 will not work without problem, as the images on the ISO don't match the RPMs. You'll get errors around "unable to remove pam-config". Workaround: disable image-based installation on x86_64!
• Bootloader: wrong boot order - Failsafe selected as default Bug #413280 Important: Please make sure to not boot into Failsafe -- boot the correct kernel instead!
• Bug #418592: gdm doesn't start on some maschines
• Bug #418577: Bootloader: cannot update the dynamic configuration policy
• Bug #418729: Could not find /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_...
• various AutoYast-related bugs

 * Bug #418574  AutoYast is ManualYast in 2nd stage
 * Bug #418707: Firewall services still enabled although disabled in Autoyast profile
 * Bug #418568: uuidgen missing

openSUSE 11.1 Alpha1

General

• LiveCD KDE4 Alpha1 freezes in VirtualBox Bug #412007
• Alpha1 bootloader setup broken -- installation unable to boot into 2nd stage Bug #411937
  • --Federico-mena 18:32, 28 August 2008 (UTC) This worked for me to fix the non-bootable MBR: boot into the LiveCD. Open a terminal and become root. Mount the boot partition under /mnt. Go to /mnt/boot. Then, "dd if=backup_mbr of=/dev/sda bs=1 count=512". This restored a bootable MBR. I thought that would then boot me into my old system partition, but when I rebooted, I got dropped into the second-stage installer just fine. WARNING: Don't mess with your boot sector unless you know what you are doing; you could totally screw up your hard drive's data and partition table.
• linuxrc can't boot into installed system Bug #411904
• no package provides gnome-session-branding. Hotfix package available from here
