openSUSE 12.1 RC2 Part 2

Okay, I forgot about the favourites bar. If you hold onto the icon too long, you pretty much lose the trashcan icon. So pretty much, they made it common sense. You grab the icon and immediately head toward the bottom of the favourite bar to get the trash icon to appear. No need to do the awkward curve-ball to get rid of the icon.

I haven't gotten a chance to test out network manager, but so far I haven't been able to get it to work with eth0. When I was still plugged in, I couldn't access the internet. I had to switch to ifup to get anything done. I'll try again at some point with wireless when I'm at home to see if I can't get it to work.

Oh, so the power button puts the computer to sleep. I tested it out when I partially crashed GNOME3. So now the power button does something.

Well, there's 6 days and one more pre-release (maybe) left before the full release.

Looks like I'll just stick with this until the final release date, then I'll test that one out to see if it's something I'll be "upgrading" to.

openSUSE 12.1 RC2 Part 1

Well, downloaded it last night, installed it earlier and got everything updated. Installed VLC as well.

So a few changes. Finally can shutdown/reboot the computer without having to logout first, and VLC actually works (sadly it works better than in 11.3).

So it seems that I might move onto 12.1... as long as network manager is fixed, since it's not easy or fun to use ifup.

Haven't really seen a whole lot else changed... or at least, that's all I've noticed so far.
