Progress with openSUSE 11.3

Mar 08, 2010

Marcel Hilzinger

The openSUSE project has released milestone 3 of its version 11.3 right on schedule. The update to GCC 4.5 has unfortunately caused a few problems.

The openSUSE 11.3 milestone 3 release is the first distro compiled entirely with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.5. The update caused a couple of major problems with the openSUSE Build Service and packages that wouldn't compile. The openSUSE project management decided to release nevertheless, specifically to test and make improvements to the new GCC 4.5 upgrade. Milestone 3, therefore, is an actual alpha release to be addressed only by experienced Linux users.

Among the new mileston 3 features are Kernel 2.6.33, the Nouveau drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards and the current GNOME developer version 2.29, including the GNOME shell.

The following bugs are in a known state:

YaST log files are truncated.
Network installations choke on the wrong SHA1sum for cracklib-dict-full.
VirtualBox is uninstallable (details).
With the LXDE desktop, rcxdm fails to stop the lxdm login manager (details).

A glance at the Most Annoying Bugs site might be appropriate before installing 11.3. The list may indeed get longer in the next few days. For download, go to the openSUSE Get It page.

The openSUSE project has released milestone 3 of its version 11.3 right on schedule. The update to GCC 4.5 has unfortunately caused a few problems. Those that are convinced that the headline of this article content is cool, probabilities are you are thinking about using Linux as your number 1 or just an optional Operating-system if you find yourself basically done with your old OS. Sadly the majority assume that Linux is too advanced that it is of interest only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com will be able to confirm that this exceptional os is in reality for almost everyone. It is actually quite interesting to learn about Progress with openSUSE 11.3.
