Is there a particular reason that the kernel in TW has been lagging behind so far from the official stable? Current stable is 6.11.10 or 6.12 (depending on who you ask) and TW is at 6.11.8.
I don't care per-say - I grab mine from the HEAD on OBS. I'm just curious why TW has been lagging in the kernel dept lately. Did they find something in 6.11.9 or 6.11.10 they didn't like?
(I'm not aware if GNOME usually asks for password while trying to reboot/shut down. Is this a GNOME thing?)
I've installed MicroOS (I used MicroOS installer, not Aeon ISO, and chose GNOME in package selection page) with LUKS2 encryption. Is there any way to use a symlink or something to prevent GNOME from asking the password everytime I try to shutdown/reboot while being logged in? (I kept a separate /var partition and I'm using systemd-boot if that matters)
Tried slack, google meet - nothing works. Anyone else got this issue?
Hey! Saw this recent talk by OpenSUSE:
- https://youtu.be/Pc76nFI1yuE?si=b0Y77-txIt-AejVJ&t=419
The video starts at a timestamp when they talk about Docker. It's not long, maybe 30 seconds. Can anyone explain what this is all about? Thanks.
I don't know how to explain this properly. When i use touchpad on my Lenovo Thinkpad or other Asus Vivobook whit Tumbleweed i have inertia to moving cursor sometime. It's not related with cursor acceleration, because when i disable it, problem not solved. I use latest update on KDE version. I can't guess what could have caused this, because I haven't installed or changed anything recently.
Bit unsure what to do here. I'm on Leap 15.6, and usually do weekly updates so I'm not sure how this got out of sync. I always run zypper update
and not really had issues. For the first time I've opened the Online Update in YAST and got the following conflicts:
the to be installed libOpenCL1-2.3.1-150100.8.12.2.x86_64 conflicts with 'nvidia-compute-G06 < 570.0.0' provided by the installed nvidia-compute-G06-550.135-lp156.28.1.x86_64

[ ] do not install patch:openSUSE-SLE-15.6-2024-4060-1.noarch
And noticed if I run zypper update
I get this:

Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.

The following 4 package updates will NOT be installed:

Nothing to do.
Not really sure if I should just leave this alone, or do the de-installation option its suggesting in Online Update? When I select this it doesn't offer an option to update the Nvidia drivers only de-install.
I installed Tumbleweed on my system, and I SPECIFICALLY said not to modify any windows partitions. I install my brand new OS, and lo and behold, Windows boot manager is gone. The drive is there still, but os-prober isn't showing Windows 11 and I can't get into Windows 11 through the BIOS manager. Is there any way to restore Windows Boot Manager short of reinstalling Windows 11 entirely?
I like having a kernel-longterm to boot from incase the latest kernel has issues or I'd like to compare system stability. However, I'm having NVIDIA driver issues with the longterm kernel 6.6.63.
I have an NVIDIA Asus GTX 1050TI GPU with an integrated Intel GPU, both of which boot to SDDM graphical login if booting from the latest 6.11.8 kernel. However, if I boot from kernel-longterm 6.6.63 it boots to console with no graphical user login. If I login and run 'startx', I get errors saying no screens found. I've reinstalled the NVIDIA binaries from the official NVIDIA repo; even reinstalling the previous base version and upgrading again to the latest (in case the latest is just a patch over a previous base). I still get the same result. Meanwhile the latest kernel 6.11.8 boots fine.
On my AMD system using amdgpu gpu using the stock kernel drivers on a longterm kernel I have no trouble getting to a graphical login. So is it wrong to assume that the NVIDIA install binaries are not getting the modules into the kernel-longterm path somehow?
While it's not essential at the moment to have the longterm kernel working, I'd like to at least try to rectify the problem and learn what I'm missing for future reference.
Anyone else having NVIDIA issues with kernel-longterm on OpenSuse Tumbleweed?
Thanks to all for any advice. Take care
This seems to have started happening the in the last month or so on Tumbleweed KDE, all current updates as of a couple days ago...
Every time I boot up my PC, both of my monitors are reset to 23% brightness during boot... It is easy enough to adjust them back to 75% (where I like them) in the GUI, but it's kind of annoying to have to do it every time I bootup. Any way to get the system to "remember" that 75% level?

I run MicroOs for my container. I use the nvidia container toolkit. For updates on the toolkit or various nvidia parts for it the EULA needs to be acknowledged. However transactional-update does not do so and I need to check every so often if a manual intervention is necessary.
From this post I understand that Aeon uses the auto accept license option for 3rd party licenses when updating.
How to set this for MicroOs?
After the latest updates of openSUSE Tumbleweed, graphical glitches related to the LibreOffice 24.8.3 menu appeared: submenus started to appear randomly in different places on the screen (on average, this occurs in about 40% of cases when the menu is opened).
Does anyone know what the problem is?

So i've got some questions.
Does KSM under MicroOS kernel work with the same APP run in several DistroBox containers, simultaneously that:
a) are of the same distro type (let's say - all run the same APP on top of Arch )
b) of different distro types (let's say - first one is OpenSuse, the other one is Arch. Both running the same application but installed from dedicated repositories)
Does KSM under MicroOS kernel work when KVM host is installed under root Distrobox OpenSuse while KVM guests are installed in regular Distrobox container?
What is the recommended way to run KVM host/guests under MicroOS?
YouTube videos refuse to play on my Kalpa installation. From reading around, the usual advice of "just install packman codecs" doesn't apply to an immutable distro - and in theory, the flatpaks for firefox should have come with all the necessary codecs. Is this right? If so, what troubleshooting steps can I take?
Hi! I was thinking of trying openSUSE after giving Fedora a try, mainly because I wanted to use something different.
I was wondering if you'd recommend me using Leap or Tumbleweed, since after reading that some people update the OS daily and I'm not going to daily-drive the OS I'm worried that Tumbleweed could get broken and it might be better to go for Leap instead.
Any other advice is also appreciated
My experience with linux so far was trying Fedora earlier this year and after fighting with grub and being unable to set Windows first as default (and installing it on my HDD, terrible decision) I gave up. Regardless of this, I consider myself tech savvy so I don't mind messing around with configs as long as I don't have to read 3 books in order to get something working lol
So I've been using OpenSUSE TW for a few weeks and I decided to install Waydroid following this guide: https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/discussions/1463, however, one of the first steps there is to install kernel-longterm
and kernel-longterm-devel
and optionally, delete kernel-default
, but I was wondering if it was safe to do that since I've heard mashing old stuff with new stuff causes problems. I've done this since yesterday and there are no issues yet but 1 day is not enough to determine, so my question was if this is safe to to so in the long term?
Hi,
i just upgraded to OpenSUSE 15.6 from 15.5.
Everything seams to work so far, excpet for Nautilus.
When i start it via CLI, this is what i get:

I tried rebooting, running nautilus as root, zypper up, zypper patch, remove and reinstall nautilus. No changes so far. Any ideas?
hi!
new to OpenSuSE tumbleweed here.
I installed it on my laptop (Ryzen3, amd gpu, 12GbRam) and everything works fine but when I try to update the system (by sudo zypper dup command) system reebot suddenly, without asking And the system reboot gets stuck right before the operating system loads (the small spinning circle and the word "Tumbleweed" at the bottom).
I must hard reboot and then everything is ok.
This has happened after every update. I don't think this is normal behavior, and in any case, it is extremely annoying.
How can I fix it?
thank you
Just noticed that Thunderbird is now ESR, when I'm pretty sure it wasn't before as evidenced by this now fixed bug. Just curious why the change? I know that Firefox is not ESR and is the latest version, and I understand thunderbird is technically a browser so I would assume it gets the same treatment as Firefox?
I tried the following
(DID NOT WORK)
(WORKS)
Any suggestions? Thanks
EDIT1: My motherboard gives me the option to boot into something like a boot manager. USB sticks with openSUSE does not show up there. USB sticks with Ubuntu and Windows are listed.
I ran `zypper dup` yesterday and I just realized that podman is broken. I thought rebooting was a good idea but now containers are not starting up anymore.
Is there a way to downgrade podman to it's previous version which was working just fine?
One of the required dependencies is missing (that is the one present in the repos is a lower version)
2 questions please
because it's missing the correct version for a dependency, I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the package should build at all!
If the required package/version is missing, is this reflected on the build service (build.opensuse.org)?
Thanks
This may be a stupid question, but i'm currently fighting with the partition sizes in microOS. I used the default partitioning and than, after installing a few containers, i realized that 20GB for /home isn't enough (the 20GB on /home are full and the 1.8TB on /var are barely used by my setup)
Right now i'm even set up to reinstall everything and change the partition sizes during installation but i can't figure out how to just change the sizes of each partition. The guided setup always goes 1.8TB for /var and /etc and 20GB for everything else and i don't see a way to configure sizes in the expert partitioner...
Or i could just put a bunch of symlinks to /var for my stuff on /home and pray that it wont mess with podman?
Hi, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I can't find any solution. My problem is that I can't list the snapshots with snapper and can't remove ./snapshots. I'm not using OpenSUSE but Gentoo. The snapper used to work but now I have this error:
snapper list
The config 'root' does not exist. Likely snapper is not configured.

-the root file is missing from /etc/snapper/configs If I cp it from an snapshot snapper still gives the same error.
-I can boot to my snapshots from Grub2.
-I can't delete snapshots or create a new one. The only snapshot rm -R ./snapshots removed was the number 1, others are RO.
How can I remove the ./snapshots? Thanks for reading!
EDIT: SOLVED!
I needed to sudo btrfs subvolume delete /path/to/snapshots
Then sudo snapper create-config /
and then:

Hi guys,
i just found a driver for the fingerprint reader on my Dell Latitude 5420 for Ubuntu as a .deb-package in this post:
Is there any chance to get this to work on OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 ?
Any solution for this issues?
VLC show errors
Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "hevc" (MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265))
Codec not supported:
VLC could not decode the format "eac3" (A/52 B Audio (aka E-AC3))
I've had issues with the nvidia drivers that come with tumbleweed (either 60hz on X11 or flickering on wayland). Uninstalling them and installing the newest ones directly from nvidia fixed this for me. When I updated, it reversed back to the other ones, so I figured disabling the repository would help, but now when I update it deletes them completely.
