Hi! I need a virtual machine for Win11. when I try to launch the installation of Windows I've got this error:

I tested this in laptop (AMD too) some week ago and it works fine (I tried right now). Now I tried to make a VM on the laptop and I have the same error.

What io scheduler do you guys use? I know for nvme the default is noop (sata ssd defaults to mq-deadline and has less issues), but really heavy io (for instance btrfs scrubbing / balancing) can cause issues in that it makes the entire system unresponsive or laggy while those tasks are running. Changing the scheduler may actually decrease maximum disk throughput, but if it keeps the desktop usable it's actually worth it for most tasks.

It appears for latency over throughput, either kyber or bfq are the best. Then again, most of the information I find is at best a few years old. You agree, and what do you use and why?

Right now I have even disabled balancing because it makes my workstation so unusable, but that's probably not the best solution.

I have tried many distros, but I have never seen such smoothness of KDE. Every action is fast and as it should be without any flaws. I think you will understand me when I say that this distro behaves like Windows.

What is the secret of openSUSE? Although Arch is close, it doesn't reach such efficiency.

And since I asked the question, please tell me

- the flags for auto-import of keys and consent to installation. In another case it would be just -y, but here it's more serious. (sudo zypper in *flag yes* *flag auto import key*)

- how move in Dolphin Open terminal in this folder from right click menu->actions to right click menu

P.S. Although downloading something to make something popular work normally is quite strange. For example, libatomic1 for Discord, libgthread-2_0-0 for JetBrains XD

Hello.

I would like to install openSUSE Tumbleweed on a Lenovo workstation, and I'm not sure how to do this properly.

Attempt 1. Install openSUSE Tumbleweed on my (rather temperamental) X230 laptop. It has one system drive, a SATA SSD, 250 GB in size. Result - success.

Attempt 2. Install openSUSE Tumbleweed on a Lenovo S30 workstation. This has three potential drives for installation. 1) SATA SSD, 250 GB in size, bootable; 2) NVMe drive on PCIe3 riser card, 1 TB in size (much faster than #1, but not bootable); 3) 1 TB HDD (very old, effectively junk). In the end I installed the operating system on the SATA SSD. Result - success, but possibly sub-optimal.

Is there a way to take advantage of the 1 TB NVMe drive? As it stands I'm not making best advantage of what is in the box. I seem to remember that you can make a NVMe drive bootable - the system BIOS is too old for it to natively boot off this drive. The installation software offered a selection of boot drive, or a manual partition system which I did not understand.

Thoughts please.

About 17 years ago I decided to try Linux because Windows Vista had just been released and it was utter garbage. It looked beautiful, and I was impressed with visuals, and I did appreciate the enhanced security measures, but otherwise it was clunky, slow, and ate RAM for breakfast - back when RAM was much more expensive per GB...

So began my relentless search for a beautiful and fully featured Linux distro - as a novice user with only some prior experience. Today I am expert in Linux and can bend it to my will, but obviously almost 2 decades with it will do that to you, especially since I made Linux the only bootable OS on my machines. That's right, no dual-boot for me. So I was fully dedicated to making it work because I was never going back to Windows. I deleted it's restore partition, and refused to buy a new license to reinstall it. There was no going back. Linux was going to be my daily driver on both desktop and laptop, period.

I tried (may not be in perfect chronological order, but I tried to):

• Ubuntu (okay, but not what I was hoping for. Hyped up for no good reason)
• Kubuntu (my favorite of the Ubuntus)
• Lubuntu (my least favorite of the Ubuntus)
• Mint (my second overall favorite)
• Fedora (not very mature at the time)
• Debian (too watered down)
• Mandriva (utter shit)
• openSUSE (obviously my favorite)

As you can see with my mostly chronological order, I tried openSUSE last, with the KDE desktop, and fell in love with it after about 2 months time. The installation experience is one of the best out of all the options. Zypper and YaST make life a whole lot easier, and the list goes on.

Since then, I have been loving openSUSE ever since. It has been my only home-use distro for 15 years now. Whenever I build a new desktop (I build my own with my own parts) I only install openSUSE. When I buy a new laptop I destroy all remnants of Windows and reclaim the entire drive space for openSUSE.

I do have plenty of CentOS and AlmaLinux experience, as well as Amazon Linux, due to my occupation.

Hands down openSUSE is my absolute favorite. I've been through countless releases over the times. I now run Tumbleweed and have been doing so for many years now. Tumbleweed has been rock stable despite all the bleeding edge updates. The time taken to ensure it "mostly works" (or better) is one of the best things about it.

Sometimes I hear about GNOME being the preferred desktop now, but whenever I have to reinstall openSUSE, KDE is still the first, and pre-selected, option. So I don't know how much credit to give to that. I have tried both GNOME and KDE and KDE wins hands down. The included software is far more customizable, feature rich, and well thought out. Plasma is decently stable with very few bugs these days.

I have recommended and installed openSUSE (although with dual-boot) on all my willing friends machines, and I'd say about 1/2 of them have mostly good things to say about it and roughly 1/3 drop Windows and stick to it. My wife's machines are similar to mine - openSUSE and that's all, no dual boot. She's never had issues that I couldn't solve easy and fast. She mostly uses it for browsing (Firefox), emails (Thunderbird), Blender (for work), LibreOffice (it's very good now a days), and some other minor things.

I even have almost no issues at all with Nvidia drivers. I have an ASUS Nvidia ROG STRIX 4090 OC edition and the Proton compatibility layer from Steam is extremely well thought out, useful, and ensures almost all the games I want to run "just work".

I have only grown more and more fond of openSUSE over the years and love it more each year. I can't recommend it to enough people. Most stuff just works, and getting additional media codecs isn't that difficult. Setup is easy. Tweaks are easy. Full on bending it to your will is nice and easy (imo).

I greatly appreciate the default firewalld settings are basically "lock-down" mode, but aren't too difficult to open things up for media servers such as Jellyfin (a MASSIVELY better alternative to Plex).

Needless to say, I recently decided to test the waters out of some new and highly rated distros again in a VM run on VirtualBox and haven't found one worth a damn to make a switch to. openSUSE still has the crown in my opinion. I don't expect that to change much unless something goes utterly wrong on a major level, but I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon, if at all.

What do you guys think? Has anyone been running it as their daily driver for as long as, or longer, than myself? I am really curious what the thoughts of other long-term daily driver users have on it.

My computer specs for the interested:

• Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E WIFI 2
• RAM: 128GB Corsair DOMINATOR TITANIUM 6600MT/s (only works at 5200MT/s for stability when using all 4 sticks of 32GB)
• Processor: Brand New (replaced the first one) Intel Core i9 14900K (immediately flashed the 0x12B microcode fix after installing the new one) - undervolted really well, temps never exceed 70C even under full load
• GPU: ASUS Nvidia ROG STRIX 4090 OC Edition (never exceeds 60C even under full load)
• PSU: Corsair RM1200x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold 1200watt ATX Power Supply
• SSD: Samsung 4TB 990PRO NVMe
• HDD: Seagate 20TB Ironwolf Pro SATA3
• Case: Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW (rather large) Mid-Tower (and boy when you load it up with tons of fans it really does have a shitload of airflow)

In Grub you can enter loglevel=0 to limit unwanted firmware warning messages during boot. But how can I do that in systemd-boot? Anyone has experience doing this?

I use a reMarkable, and tw it is the only distribution where I can use the desktop app under Wine. Can somebody tell me what dependencies YaST installs for Wine under tw? Mono, fonts, etc.

Hello folks

I'd like to know your opinion. I was playing with dialog and it seems that at least in cases where we have truecolor available (e.g. gnome-terminal) we could show a nice green dialogs for TUI apps utilizing dialog on openSUSE. Related PR https://github.com/openSUSE/opensuse-migration-tool/pull/20

The downside is the cases with 16 or even 256 colors, where the green is killing eyes, there we could stay on thd default blue or go with B&W only. I was secretly hoping that this could be used in jeos-firstboot for Leap Micro (will be also used by WSL in the future). Thoughts?

I'd like to know your opinion about that, but also about what do you think should be the default color set in console where we don't have true color, this would be the case for initial configuration of Leap MIcro in the system console etc... Screenshot from Fabian in the PR shows how would such case look like.

After every reboot the audio playback device port is set to headphones/speaker, when it should be line out/speaker.

Is there any way to have this setting stick between restarts?

Hi guys, i use tumbleweed for some time now. Generaly i am very happy with the system and i just decided to look into (and solve) some minor issues i have noticed.

One of those issues is, that Dolphin does not update the free disk space in real time at the bottom of the window after moving/erasing/adding some files and also the files i send to trash are not visible in trash immediately. If i erase a file, i need to close dolphin, wait some time and open it again to see the file in a trash, or the update of free disk space.

I dont think this is a normal behavior, since these "file operations" were updated instantly on my previous systems (my previous OS was Kubuntu). It is nothing i cannot live with, it is just a little annoyance.

Thanks for the hints on how to resolve this.

Hi guys, i m running tumbleweed on my main desktop and i can successfully use remmina to remote desktop RDP into my Windows laptop. Everything works except any keys to do with the ctrl key, such as ctrl-C, ctrl-V etc do not work.

I have checked all the remmina settings but couldn't find any thing that stands out being the problem.

Looking for some ideas please?

Thanks

Hey all. Was curious why yast looks so bad? I'm running TumbleWeed with gnome and yast is literally unusable.

Edit: was able to enable KDE plasma in the terminal and switched over to KDE. Problem solved lol. I'll probably stick with KDE at this point. May later go in and see if I can figure out why its borked. But the whole reason I opened up yast was to switch over to KDE 🤷🏻‍♂️

what is this and what should i do?

I am a beginner linux user and doing nothing fancy job on tumbleweed.

please enlighten me on this matter :)

Thank you !!

Hi folks! I have some issues with power management and password in my New opensuse tw (plasma)installation. I set shutdown monitor in 10 minutes and suspension in 30minutes with password at wake up in both cases. But monitor stuck black and it turns on just after I digit de password (in blind of course). Disabling password request makes thé things go right but I'd like to put thé password enable..

Any advice?

After the latest update, I'm getting a black screen instead of my login screen. I can get into tty, so it's not crashing or freezing. Had to rollback to before the update.

I'm using KDE and SDDM.

Use cases

I have a shared family desktop PC used for web browsing and Internet access. And maybe for managing some personal documents with LibreOffice. Sometimes I may plug in a USB flash drive or portable external hard drive to copy files in and out for backups. That's all it is ever used for.

Requirements and Preferences

1. I have no wish to do system administration on it, or reinstalling its OS every few years to keep it updated and secure.
2. I hope that updates would be downloaded and installed silently automatically in the background, or they're installed on bootup if need be.
3. I hope it doesn't prompt me with update notifications everyday and asking me if I want to install them; if there's an update, just do it.

When the hardware eventually fails after 5 to 10 years (e.g. power supply, motherboard or storage drive), and it can't power on or start, I would just send the whole machine for recycling. I won't bother with troubleshooting it. Again, just to emphasize how little care and maintenance I would bother to perform on it.

It's just a box that always work, is update-to-date, sits in one corner, for office productivity, managing personal data and Internet/Youtube entertainment, nothing else. And I can just get on with my day.

Is Tumbleweed or Leap more suitable for me?

That said, I am wondering if OpenSUSE Tumbleweed would be an ideal choice for my requirements. Or should I look at OpenSUSE Leap instead? I welcome any comment. Thanks in advance to those who bother to chip in with your insightful wisdom.

Before I give up and go back to TW, does anyone have any advice on getting VMWare Remote Console installed on Aeon?

It installs with an executable .bundle that must be run as root. No flatpak available. When I run the installer in distrobox, I get an error that it can't determine the version of glibc. No matter what, the install just fails without much info.

Installing VMware Remote Console 12.0.4
Copying files...
Configuring...
Rolling back VMware Remote Console 12.0.4
Removing files...
Deconfiguring...

There doesn't seem to be a --verbose option or anything for further troubleshooting. I'm assuming there are some general things to check in cases like this though.

I really only need VMRC to solve the issue of the browser continuing to handle browser shortcuts (i.e. Ctrl-W will close the tab running the console instead of sending it to the VM). If there's a workaround for that, I could do without the console.

Anyone having experience with a Windows server VM and a rather large chunk of disk space (tenths of Terabytes) running on an openSUSE Leap hypervisor?

I need to have qcow2 snapshots and wonder if anyone has some experience with running a Windows VM and additional storage disk, which is rather large. Any caveats one should be aware?

After updating my system i have started experiencing sudden delay upon playing any kind of audio. I have had this kind of issue previously, and it seemed to have been related to wireplumber, and i fixed it with the solution listed on archwiki, but now its back and it doesnt seem to work anymore and I'm kinda unsure what the issue might be at this point. It disappears when i rollback to before the update. Here is the output of journalctl when i attempt to play something.

Hi!
I'm installed Opensuse TW right now in my main pc.
here I have 3 hard disk AM2 nvme (one for OS, one for data and one for my astrophotography stuff)
after the boot just the OS SD is available and for the others I need to insert root password every time to mount them:

how can I have all 3 hard disk ready at every boot?

thank you

PS : I am Italian, I hope you understand my bad English

today i connected my phone to pc using usb cable but when i try open phone's storage it just goes to home directory and it cannot mounted ethier it seems like problem after zypper dup because when i tried to connect in snapshot from days ago, it just works fine like it always did previously when rollbacked it was worked fine but after running dup, it doesnt work again does anyone has same problem? its not cable issue since it worked in windows dualboot and older snapshot i don't know what spefic change caused this but i don't think its caused by installing third party package btw adb seems like it works

somewhat fixed(?)

type mtp:/ in dolphin's address bar and it shows my phone connected and i can browse and copypaste my phone's files idk it seems like theres problem with others not the mounting's problem?

I just kicked Windows 10 out of my Laptop, it was living rent-free. I installed OpenSUSE on that SSD. My question:

Do I need to do any special configuration to prevent my SSD from damage with OpenSUSE?

My tumbleweed install all of a sudden displays a black screen on Wayland after the latest update today.

My conky will show, and global hot keys work (ie I can invoke konsole using super+t) but other than that the screen is black. No desktop, no wallpaper, no nothing.

On X11 everything is honkey dorey.

I do not have Nvidia. I have amd-si using the amdgpu driver.

Any suggestions where to look? Right now I am rolled back to prep update and all is well again, but still.

I have this doubt is all the applications on opensuse tumbleweed repository is safe and secure, and how can I be sure is the answer is yes?

does this mean we have to wait for 570? another several months wait?

Hi all, maybe someone can help. I’m on Tumbleweed. Sometimes my USB apple keyboard is unresponsive on boot. If I restart once or twice, the keyboard will start working again. I’ve done some testing while unresponsive by SSHing in to confirm that the OS can see my keyboard and has loaded the correct driver for it. But typing does nothing. Unplugging and plugging in doesn’t help either. Any ideas? Thanks!
