Hi Karel, > [@nunak;17290](#): > > In support case said me about this forum for solution. I know that the Cloud 2.0 is young product, but from the payed product this problems … if that was a service request you opened with SuSE, would you mind sending me the SR number via personal message? Concerning the error, I’ll have to investigate further and so invite anyone to jump at this thread 😉 Regards, Jens ---
