Well one more day has passed and all my cron jobs seem to be running without problems as they did before the upgrade. My server is emailing me the logs from the backups as usual, so send mail and my backups are cool too...

I've run into quite a few issues in my "upgrade" to 10.0. I backed up my data and cleanly installed 10.0 (because I installed many packages from source without using checkinstall to enable clean uninstalls).

If you view this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=374128 you will see several of the issues that I ran into. Right now I am the only one here running 10.0 - I decided everyone else will stay at SuSE 9.3 for now until either updates via come available via YaST or 10.1 is released. Novell really should not have shipped 10.0 retail with a very broken Evolution and Exchange connector.

KDE/Samba integration is still somewhat broken but it's usable. If I use smbmount or mount to mount a Windows share, it mounts immediately. If I browse the network with konqueror, it takes minutes to mount a share, and yes, LISA is properly configured and running, and lwresd is installed and running. I was going to try (another) clean install on another workstation this weekend but had to shelf that effort until next weekend due to priorities (working on a php web site to migrate the corporate site off of ASP.NET this weekend - that is a FAR higher priority).

Also: kde/kwin is broken where desktop URLs are concerned. If I click on desktop URLs (e.g., trash:/, remote:/) to open them, konqueror reports "malformed URL" so my workaround was to create a link to konqueror using commands like `konqueror remote:/` but that doesn't provide visual feedback or integration for dynamic icons like the normal trash:/ icon. I have found that if I install KDE without installing amaroK then URLs work okay but as soon as amaroK is installed, desktop URLs break.

As a server, SuSE 10 is a fine choice, and it's also a fine choice if you don't need to browse SMB shares.

I recently upgraded from 9.3 to 10.0 with no real problems. I downloaded the DVD ISO and used that. I had a few compatiblity issues which I tried to solve to the best of my abilty and everything was fine.
I did the upgrade hoping the new kernel would help my sound card to work but it didn't.
However everything else works great and it was relatively painless. I had to reinstall Thunderbird, other than that everything worked fine.

I've recently updated 9.3 to 10.0 and I've run into problems..

amarok won't work properly. I used to use the arts engine, but that option is no longer there, so I have to use helix or xine. Xine is broken and causes amarok to crash, while the helix engine does not play when it says it is playing. This also occasionally makes amarok crash. Possible conflict here?

Also Mercury MSN (a java application) is now randomly locking up, and I am assuming this is because of the JRE update. Someone correct me if you know otherwise.

Mplayer stopped working, so I had to install the CVS, and everything works besides encrypted DVDs.

It is worth noting that I am having arts trouble on my SUSE 10.0 install on my dell laptop, but I'm not bothered by that yet.

Both machines I updated from 9.3, I will probably try installing clean versions at some point.

Drop a line when you have done a clean install and note any differences. This would be cool... Thanks for the post though.

I did an upgrade of 9.2 to 10.0 (DVD)

Athlon64 3200+
FX5700LE
1G ram

dual boot with windows 2000pro, which is default (my wife likes it that way)

Update first looked good to me until system rebooted (because it was DVD, no hands-on work was necessary). unfortunately i was back at the machine a few seconds too late, so
it did an intermediate windows-boot. but after shut-down, 10.0 did not boot neither with
normal (broke off after bios-check) nor fail-safe (broke off after PCI-Bus)

so i'm not sure if it would have worked without once starting windows
any experience on that?

i tried the repair system a few times but it looked that at least the boot-manager was
broken. i was not able to fix this and installing of LILO did nothing to improve the situation

by the way there are quite some oddities in the repair-system concerning boot-manager repairs

so i tarred all my data to the windows partition and did a new installation - this did the trick, but has anybody an idea if it would have been possible to fix the updated system
without too much hassle? this might be useful to know for the next update

Ok, have done a clean install..

I'm reverting back to 9.3. The sound problems have cleared up, however I am unable to get my surround sound working with the nvsound driver. The nvmixer that comes with it doesn't work properly, and mplayer still has the same issue with playing encrypted dvds. I also note that the CVS versions I have used make some popular video formats not as smooth as I'd like.

I havent tried my Mercury MSN yet, but I use my computer to play DVDs and play music and to not have 3d sound nor the ability to play DVDs is unacceptable to me.

I'm a sucker...

I've tried again with SuSE 10.0 on a clean install and was very careful to install and not install what I did and didn't need. In the end I got the surround sound working and Mercury (the Java app) working correctly. I am going to try downgrading my gcc compiler for the mplayer and dvd issue as I think that would fix the problem.
