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
