Hi Larry, I just followed the process in Bernard's below and it worked fine. I have a VM running slowroll now. I used the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20230822-Media.iso he references below then replaced the repos and zypper dup.

Makes it impossible to do updates and you are stuck with a broken Tumbleweed. I even went as far as to install a 3 year old Tumbleweed ISO with a 5.X kernel but it was so old that zypper could do a dup with the current slowroll repos - said all were invalid format. I think an ISO with a 6.4 kernel might be the only way. I will disable the network in VirtualBox and download and try again the DVD iso. Larry On 9/19/23 06:59, Bernhard M.

I have created 24 different vms that have not worked a zypper dup to a valid result. Slowroll will update to the 6.4.24 kernel and get deleted because the install image put 6.5.3 kernel and the reboot deletes the 6.4.24. Can someone make a valid slowroll install iso and not install tumbleweed but a true slowroll? I would take a slowroll virtualbox vm that works. I have no idea how to set virtualbox to work with slowroll - it seems to get recreated with every Tumbleweed kernel but seems to be backward compatible. We don't have dedicated media for Slowroll atm, so the easiest way is an offline (no network so it does not use repos with newer files) install with https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/ALP:/Experimental:/Slow... and then replace repos as described in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Slowroll btw: Slowroll has the 6.4.12 kernel. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:ALP:Experimental:Slowr...
