Generale

Unable to Detect Display with Lid Closed

During the installation YaST resp. SaX2 are trying to detect displays and determine the display size and resolution. If you are installing on a notebook with the lid closed it is not be possible to detect the display. To avoid this problem it is highly recommended to keep the lid open during the installation.

If the detection failed, start YaST and click "Hardware" -> "Graphics Card and Monitor". Then configure the display manually.

Detecting Lenovo ThinkPad Laptops

Lenovo ThinkPad laptops have special code in the MBR (master boot record) because of the "Blue ThinkVantage button" functionality. If detecting and preparing it properly fails, it might be necessary to restore the boot sector.

If you have a ThinkPad, ensure that the bootloader is not installed into the MBR (verify it in the installation proposal!) and the MBR is not rewritten by generic code (in installation proposel select Bootloader -> Boot Loader Installation -> Boot Loader Options -> Write Generic Boot Code to MBR -- should be unchecked).

If your MBR gets rewritten, the ThinkVantage button will not work anymore. The back-up of the MBR is stored in /var/lib/YaST2/backup_boot_sectors/.

Informazioni tecniche

Displaying Man-Pages With the Same Name

The man command now asks which man-page the user wants to see if man-pages with the same name exist in different sections. The user is expected to type the section number to make this man-page visible.

If you want to get back the previous behavior, set MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 in a shell initialization file such as ~/.bashrc.

YaST LDAP Server Configuration

The YaST LDAP Server module does not store the LDAP Server configuration in /etc/openldap/slapd.conf any longer. The module now uses OpenLDAP's dynamic configuration backend, which stores the configuration in an LDAP database itself. That database consists of a set of .ldif files in /etc/openldap/slapd.d. To access the configuration either use the yast2-ldap-server module or an LDAP client such as ldapmodify or ldapsearch.

For details on the dymanic configuration of OpenLDAP, see the OpenLDAP Administration Guide.

netconfig Utility to Apply Additional Network Settings

The modify_resolvconf script is removed in favor of the more versatile netconfig script. The new script handles specific network settings from multiple sources more flexible and transparent. For more informations, see the updated manuals and the netconfig man-page.

In the shipped manuals, modify_resolvconf is erroneously referenced. We will correct it in the next release.

WLAN Channels 12, 13, and 14 Disabled

By default, the WLAN channels 12, 13, and 14 are disabled because it is not allowed to use these channels everywhere. If you want to use them in your region, see http://en.opensuse.org/Tracking_down_wireless_problems for more information.
