The most annoying bugs and their suggested workarounds:

For general information about reporting bugs, see Submit a Bug. Do not report partly translated dialogs or completely missing translations before milestone 6; expect updated translation during the beta tests. Also see the openSUSE Localization Guide.

To directly report a bug against openSUSE 11.2, here's a shortcut.

Issues that do not cause hazards but will be crucial for the acceptance of the distro should be reported at Vital_Issues.

openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 7

• grub, bootsplash and splashy still use 11.1 artwork (Bug #538949, Bug #538955, Bug #533989)
• License information on install is displayed in German (Bug #533026)
• HAL may crash, leaving XOrg without keyboard and mouse (Bug #537452), work-around: update with 'hal' package from Base:System
• Intel 4965 wireless is completely broken (Bug #537112)
• KDE desktop
  • Dolphin cannot mount fixed partions due to PolicyKit restrictions (Bug #533246), work-around: polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed

  • Live system asks for root password to mount file system (Bug #537343), work-around: just "Cancel"
  • YaST Control Center cannot be started (Bug #537470), work-around: see comment 8 of bug report
  • PackageKit permanently requires authentication (Bug #538353), work-around: apply comment 7 of bug report
  • ^C and other shortcuts doesn`t work in gnome-terminal when booted LiveCD with russian language as default (Bug #540494), work-around - re-add US English keymap or use xterm.
  • gnome-system-monitor eats much memory (Bug #519015)
• Encrypted root hangs with "waiting for /dev/system/root" to appear (Bug #535013), work-around: add cryptomgr to %udevmodules in /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-luks.sh
• ATI-cards: X: display stays dark: move /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf; look here for further instructions.
• ksoftirqd 100% cpu load bug has not gone: 100% disk load instead; see Bug #540550.
