Dear Beta participants,

we are happy to announce beta 6 release to beta testers (but fourth
Beta) of

         SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Extension 12.

ISO images are now available for download now. Please go to
http://www.novell.com/beta and select "View my beta page".
Here you should see all Beta's you are part of.

We offer 2 DVD ISOs: DVD1 contains the binaries and sources, the second
DVD the debuginfo packages.
The final product will not contain the debuginfo packages on the media.

To use this extension (together with SLES 12 Beta6):
 - start SLES installation
 - you MUST register to SCC and then only choose "use add-ons from
media" to select the Add-on ISO image (retrieving the extension for SCC
is not enabled yet).

Highlights:
  - Many bug fixes in the entire distribution
  - switching to runlevel 3 (from runlevel5) is working again !
  - openJDK web plugin (icetea-web) was updated to 2.4.7

Known problems:
 bnc#865339 - Secure Boot not working on some systems (HP z220 for sure)
 bnc#869127 - keyboard focus lost in gdm
              (keyboard focus lost in gdm, workaround is to press
              "Ctrl-Alt-Tab" until you have focus again)
 bnc#861543 - ICAClient not installable
 bnc#870625 - No addon dialog without registration 
 upgrading from SLE 11 SP3 is not working flawlessly, requiring manual
interaction

Happy testing!

        Your SUSE Linux Enterprise Team
