[sles-beta] YaST2 dont find a driver - Upgrade to SLE 12 - Gnome from SLE 11-3 with KDE

[Waite, Dick]

Many Thanks for the Quick Update,

upgrading from SLE 11 SP3 is not working flawlessly, requiring manual
interaction

I did read the good words, what would be grand are some words so that the "manual interaction" is done how SUSE would like it done. If we are given the 1 to n steps to run the manual interaction, then we all get it right and we can then run our applications checks against SUSE 12-0-beta6 and the results will be helpful to you and are-selves. If we do the manual steps as each of us think it should be done then I'm not sure the issues we find with Beta6 will be so meaningful. Some will get it right and some (me) might not.

Wishing you all a grand day.

I have found Beta6 is making the upgrade better, but when you get into the upgraded machine it's sitting on a command prompt, and our users / customers would be expecting a Display Manager (GNOME)

Then maybe we can start checking their own application.

As mentioned in the announcement for Beta6, we are still busy fixing
bugs in the upgrade path, including from KDE desktop (SLE11) to SLE12.
The expected upgrade path should not include manual steps but it is not
here yet.
