Most Annoying Bugs

As this is a milestone release, 11.2 M5 does contain a few bugs that we know about, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. The big bugs in 11.2 M5 are:

* Live CD ISOs will not boot from USB on some hardware
* The GNOME Live-CD image is missing Tomboy, Beagle, and GNOME-Do.
* Bug #529098: x86_64 DVD ISO doesn’t fit on DVD
* Bug #522025: X doesn’t display properly in VirtualBox machines with big video memory. Workaround: reduce video memory size or switch to first console and back (default: right Ctrl-F1, right Ctrl-F7)
* Bug #529113: and Bug #482749: kdesu does not work (for example, starting YaST), work-around: ’su -c “unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS;yast2″‘
* Bug #528397: X server might hang with some video drivers (vesa, intel) in runlevel 5 before the KDM logon occurs. A workaround can be found in this comment.

You can track the Most Annoying Bugs on the wiki along with 11.2 development.
