openSUSE

Hello! I am running Tumbleweed on a desktop with an RTX 4070 and I am have tried to run sudo zypper dup 3 times now over the last 2 months and each time it has messed up my nvidia graphics drivers somehow causing me to revert to the snapshot taken just before the zypper dup. I thought at the time that there was just some issue that would be resolved which is why I kept reverting but at this point I just need to bite the bullet and figure out how to fix it.

I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall the drivers several times using the command. sudo zypper remove \*nvidia\* && sudo zypper install x11-video-nvidiaG06 The only notable thing that this seems to do is fix my resolution from like 480p to 1080p, but only for the next reboot. However even with the resolution change it seems that the nvidia gpu is not being used at all.

sudo prime-select get-current tells me that there is "no driver configured"

The command xrandr --listproviders prints

Providers: number : 1 Provider 0: id: 0x40; cap: 0x2 (Sink Output); crtcs: 1; outputs: 1; associated providers: 0; name: modesetting output None-1

Also task manager (or whatever) can't detect the gpu I guess?

I'm still pretty new to linux so any and all guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Read a distrowatch review that dropped earlier today discussing the two of them and kind of tears them apart: https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20250714. I used both a year or so ago and Aeon seemed to perform well enough, but I was pretty disappointed with Kalpa. What are folks experiences with them and how do they compare with something like Fedora Atomic Desktops if you have experience with both?

Don't personally use 32-bit arm but if you do and want to express your view or contribute you should check this out!

Congrats openSUSE on 20 years of being the best OS out there!

Haven't tried this installer yet but I am interested to give it a go next time I setup another suse based system!

I have gotten pretty used to Yast at this point, but I am curious to give Myrlyn a whirl. Definitely gonna be giving it a try.

Packages coming very soon https://openqa.opensuse.org/snapshot-changes/opensuse/Tumbleweed/diff/20250618

I had to reinstall Tumbleweed recently, and I think I made a bad choice in the installer when asked if my BIOS clock was UTC or not. Honestly, at the time, I wasn't sure.

When I boot my laptop, the clock is usually correct, but when I get back from lunch it shows 2 hours later than it really is. My timezone is UTC+2.

How do I fix this?

Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

I’d like to install Leap 15.6 on an older laptop which is currently running Tumbleweed.

I have a single partition with btrfs and the standard subvolumes created during the original Tumbleweed installation.

Can I install Leap while preserving the btrfs @home subvolume? I played a bit the partitioner in expert mode but couldn’t find an obvious way.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.3.5.

Every time I open an app which needs root privileges (such as myrlyn) I’m greeted by the KDE su window to enter my password. Even if I tick “Remember my password”, this does not have any effects, and the next time I’m asked for my password again.

Any idea on how to ensure the “Remember my password” setting in KDE su is honoured?

Thanks!

Hello, I'm still a noob when it comes to computers. I had a dual boot Windows 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15.6. My problem is that I was using my laptop as always and I was simply searching through internet when the system glitched. So I tried to restart my laptop, but then it showed screens with sth like Bios corrupted, blue screen etc. And then it restarted but only with Windows 11. When I check the settings partition has fully free memory, so it means that my OpenSuse is gone.

What could have gone wrong?

Sorry for the noob question and thanks for any help. I'm just really davastated.

I didn't notice this until the other post about them potentially deprecating YaST (at least putting in on maintenance mode). I figured we could use a thread to discuss other changes coming in Leap 16.
