I've used OpenSuse TumbleWeed as my daily driver for several years and have unfortunately hit a problem that has got me stumped.

https://ibb.co/s64V68X.

The message reads: "GNU GRUB version 2.12. Minimal BASH- I like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. To enable less(1)-like paging, " set pager=1".

When I type exit I get a boot manager screen listing two devices with the same name. If I select either I get sent back to the original screen as in the picture.

If I input "exit" again I get "boot succeeded - opensuse-secureboot." As the output but I'm still stuck.

Typing "help" gives me a list if commands, half of which I can't read as I dont seem to be able to navigate back to them using my keyboard.

Many thanks to anyone who can help me work out what is going on and fix it.

My laptop is a HONOR MagicBook 14 with AMD Ryzen 5 5500, 8gb ram and a 256gb ssd.

I installed TW several years ago and did not use LVM and did not encrypt the drive.

Hi all, im thinking about switching to Tumbleweed as my daily driver, as I really like the rolling release approach with my current Arch Distro (EndeavourOS), but I have some arch related issues I cant find time and will to fix them.

Testing Tumbleweed as live system really went great and Im about to make the switch. Now my only issue is, I have an existing separate /home partition from Arch, formatted as BTRFS, but not as BTRFS subvolume. I re-created the partition scheme now in a install in the VM, which seemed to work fine to mount the partition under /home and skip the creation of a new subvolume on the root partition.

Can I expect that to work with the live install also? Current scheme for reference, nvme0n1p3 is the partition in question:

I'm unable to get DroidCam working fully... it will work correctly at low resolution, but I don't know enough about linux to get into the v4l2 loopback config and change resolutions

I was unable to generate v4l2loopback_dc due to not being able to install "linux-headers-'uname -r'" as that doesn't seem to exist in my repositories. If i can't find them, i think I'm stuck using v4l2loopback-dkms so any help on how to get into the configuration and set resolution would be appreciated

i've reached out to dev47apps on twitter/x and if i receive help i'll post a solution here for the benefit of other OpenSUSE users who may be stuck too

With fedora I can use the command:

sudo sealert -l "*"

This will provide a detailed description of the problem along with suggested fixes, such as:

ausearch -c 'tlp' --raw | audit2allow -M my-tlp
semodule -X 300 -i my-tlp.pp

I tried installing 'sealert' via the 'setroubleshoot' package on opensuse. However, the above sealert command spits out a bunch of error lines about python and gtk 3.0. Unfortunately, I cannot post the exact message, because I have since switched distros. But if someone can tell me how to get sealert working, I'll try opensuse again.

Hello,

I often do editing with Kdenlive (24.02.2), and since I've done the latest updates, the software has become unusable (both the flatpak and rpm versions).

I also tried the previous version (23.08.5 (Qt5)) which used to work but now it doesn't! (So, I suspect a system-level issue...)

The error message is quite surprising:

"Too many files open simultaneously

Failed to open metadata file: Too many files open"

and yet the ulimit command responds with unlimited...

I admit this is quite urgent... Does anyone have any idea where this might be coming from?

Many Thanks!

Hi all,

Yesterday I got a bunch of updates, but, Tumbleweed being a rolling release distro I didn't care much.

Ran the updates, kept on playing VRising, finished my evening,.. This morning I start my computer and Steam window won't show up, although the process does show up.

Thought it was limited to Steam but after some testing to me that all my flatpak applications were behaving this way (Heroic, Discord, Telegram, Brave webbrowser...), whereas the non flatpak apps were behaving correctly (firefox, discover, system setting).

How to roll back ?

(during the time it took me to write this post, I double clicked again on Steam and it started., same for all the other apps... haven't got a clue as to what happened)

Anyone here mining crypto with Open Suse Leap or Tumbleweed?

I did a fresh install of TW last evening and ran into an issue when setting up the packman repo. When I I tried to add it to through yast, the process froze. I added it through zypper but when I ran dup with change vendor, the updates would freeze. The progress spinner would actually be frozen. It would retry and get to the next package once or twice but would always end up stuck.

Installing flatpaks worked so I'm thinking it's a packman issue

Edit: updating the post because it looks like people cannot just going behind the obvious. I can read what is written and that the sub is banned because there is no moderation. But the banner is not telling”why”. There was some useful content that is not accessible anymore and I find this a pity. Thanks

If anyone, like me, will encounter the "wrong-repos" bug^(*) on a fresh Tumbleweed installation, just fix it by installing the proper package with this command: zypper in --recommends openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA

^(*)see: reference in this post

output of `zypper in`

Fresh install of Tumbleweed: why is openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA the default?

Shouldn't be openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA the default one on Tumbleweed?

I use a modern convertible laptop, yet many things don't work out of the box when using Aeon. Basic stuff like connecting my Bluetooth or autorotation when I switch to tablet mode is a real pain. I had to switch to fedora silverblue, which is flawless, but I still miss Aeon. I suspect that the rolling nature of the OS may be the reason for this cause other distros work for me. So it makes sense if I slowroll Aeon and things start working. Please correct me if I'm wrong or If there is a better solution. Thanks for making awesome things openSUSE.

after not using my pc for 8 months i got on and decided to update it. it froze in the middle of the update (about 3600 packages) so i hit the reset button. when i do a zypper command it always says "zypper: error while loading shared libraries: librpm.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when i tried to rollback it gives out "snapper: symbol lookup error: snapper: undefined symbol: _ZN7snapper9SystemCmdC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb" can anyone help out? thank you in advance. (i'm using a ryzen cpu and, a nvidia gpu)

Hey there,

Been working with OpenSUSE for a bit as my [potential] daily driver. Is there something I can read or study regarding how the snapshots work for BTRFS after an initial install?

I have most things understood, but, I feel like I am lacking in understanding how to handle the case of when an update [potentially] breaks the system and how to rollback.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hey,

do you know when LxQT 2.0 will arrive for Tumbleweed?

How can I install KDE Plasma 5.27.11 on openSUSE Tumbleweed? I found the KDE:Frameworks5 repository, but when I try to install the plasma5-desktop package, I get an error:

nothing provides 'libQt5Gui.so.5(Qt_5.15.12_PRIVATE_API)(64bit)' needed by the to be installed plasma5-workspace-5.27.11-1.1.x86_64

Do I need to add any additional repositories or something else?

A Ward Geographical Naming Committee in South Africa could potentially name a street after openSUSE and other open source projects. The decision is not final but it's on the shortlist. There's still time to add your name suggestion.

Hello guys i need help with partition during installation. I have an old labtop where i ise win11 on drive c and used Ubuntu 23.10 on drive d. i completly deleted and reformatted drive d.

i want to install tumbleweed xfce but when i reach to partition screen during installation it is too complicated for me. İ just want to use whole d drive for linux. What to choose or how to configure it? İt was very easy with linux mint or ubuntu but i am stuck and i dont want to harm anything on drive c.

Drive c is sda3. My drive d is sda5. 128gb. Can anyone tell step by step what to choose for a full install on drive d/ sda5.

Thanks a lot.

Hi all, a question just out of curiosity: why openSUSE has two images? One live to try the OS and one for installation? Why they dont have the usual live "try and install" image?

Anyone care to explain reasons behind this?

Yes i know, that the live image can be installed, but on the website they strongly recommend to not use it as a daily driver.

For newbies, or people like me (switching from years of using "standard" distros like Kubuntu in my case) having two images might be very confusing or even discouraging.

Hi all

I'm not trying to start a war and I love Firefox but lately it just feels so sluggish and Youtube is unusable on it due to Google's ongoing attempt to seize control of the internet.

I have tried refreshing Firefox, new profiles, fasterfox, arkenfox, the lot and I'm just fed up. I surrender to the Chromium-based monopoly. Can anyone please help me choose a new browser?
I basically just want something fast, customizable and with good integration with the Android version. I would also prefer a browser that looks good on KDE Plasma and not have the horrible plain GTK (I think it's called Adwaita) theme when choosing a menu or a dialog box. I tried Vivaldi a while ago and, while I liked it overall, whenever I was using it on my phone, I would start typing a URL and I would get bookmark suggestions. After trying loads of different settings, I couldn't find an option to stop this from happening.
Please let me know if such a browser exists.

Thank you all x

I have been trying out OpenSUSE Aeon. The only customization I have made during the installation process was to resize the partitions slightly (made ESP 1 GiB and the Linux partition max) and I changed the timezone.

After a few days, I wanted to get into my laptop's (Acer Swift SF314-52G) UEFI settings, but I couldn't - the screen would remain black with only a white, non-blinking cursor in the top left corner. This would happen both when spamming F2 or choosing the UEFI option from Aeon's boot menu.

I nuked Aeon and installed Win11 - the UEFI settings started working.

Afterwards I nuked Win11 and installed Aeon again. This time, I have also enabled encryption for the Linux partition. The UEFI settings worked when I tried to access them before first boot. However, after booting a "Secure boot dbx" (or something along those lines) update got applied, and after a reboot the UEFI settings don't work again. I assume that update is the culprit. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Hey guys,

I switched from Ubuntu to openSUSE Tumbleweed and really enjoying it with KDE. One thing that really annoys me is that pycharm and webstorm randomly freezes. I always have open 2 or 3 of them and noticed that if I close one of them, sometimes it starts to behave normally. By freezing I mean if I click something on ide like a tab, it jumps to a browser window on the desktop at the location of mouse pointer.

Any ideas what may cause it or how can I fix it. Right now, all I can do is quit and restart the ide but that is far from optimal.

I have been trying to install openSUSE tumbleweed but can't get any bootable usb to work. I tried both the offline and online image as well as the LIVE image and an older snapshot image.

Sadly they all give me the screen shown in the image and then shutdown my PC either after a few seconds or after I press any key be it on my keyboard or my mouse.

I don't think it's a problem with the usb as I tried multiple and they all failed in the same way. The openSUSE Leap image on the other hand works just fine so I am very confused.

Any help would be very appreciated.

I've been researching Tumbleweed and I installed it on my system to discover that the Nvidia driver doesn't seem to work at all. Following this guide installs the packages but the nvidia module cannot be found and refuses to load.

The research I've done suggests that Tumbleweed's kernels are generally incompatible with Nvidia. I've seen people say "just wait a couple weeks and it'll catch up", so maybe I'm testing on a bad week.

But, is that true? Do Tumbleweed updates randomly break Nvidia drivers? I don't recall it being this bad when I used openSUSE before..

EDIT: When I modprobe nvidia, it says modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) and of course, there's no error in dmesg.

EDIT2: I gave up on the repo packages. Getting the driver installer from Nvidia's website and running it in a tty worked and now I've got my Nvidia gpu working. Thanks everyone.

Hello r/opensuse

I'm doing a research on where to take our openSUSE-welcome project https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-welcome

What welcome app do you appreciate the most among all Linux distros and why?

I was looking into plasma-welcome as well as https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-control-center which was a nightmare to build btw. gnome-initial-setup is nice but it's not typical welcome app especially if you previously used installer.

I'd like to consider use either the welcome (or additional tool) also for upcoming Leap EOL notification and prompt users to upgrade (not the case for rolling distros). I am also aware that this should not popup always as some cashiers and similar devices might be knowingly running EOL version and do not really want to see that popping up.

The size most likely matters for live images ... perhaps not so much if it's fetched as e.g. a flatpak after the firstboot.
