Hi.
I decided to upgrade from 13.2 to Tumbleweed, but couldn't get the login screen to load when I did the steps with `zypper dup` in the Tumbleweed installation guide. Some failure with Plymouth or X to load properly.
Since that failed, I went ahead and downloaded the Tumbleweed ISO for KDE and installed it within my LUKS partition setup and by also importing the mount points from my previous installation. Amazingly enough, everything worked out of the box with the wipe and reinstallation of /, and I didn't have to reconfigure my core applications.
However, I have now been running into frequent crashes and freezes, where the computer stops responding. This seems to happen every time online video is being played, for both Flash and HTML5.
I have toggled the compositor via KDE's settings to use OpenGL 3.1 as the screen stutters on OpenGL 2.0. I suspect it is a compositor issue.
Any thoughts on how to track down and resolve this issue?
Does it only happen when you play online video? Or are there other actions that cause crashes? With the information you've provided, the first thing I'd suggest is to switch from OpenGL to XRender. System Settings/Configure Desktop > Display and Monitor
Compositor > rendering backend
Tumbleweed repositories should replace 13.2 ones. I have no experience with installing to LUKS partition setup. If I were in your situation... I'd back up /home/YOURNAME Install Tumbleweed from scratch without reformatting /home In that case, some of your configurations are probably going to be incorrect. But without some knowledge of your current set up, it's hard to tell what might need to be different. Might be good to rename KDE configuration files to filenameOLD and let the KDE set up create new ones. I just looked at my set up and I'm hesitant to say which things to hide like this. (~/.config has a bunch; ~/.kde4, ~/.local/share If this doesn't make your machine feel right, then (if it was me) I would back up the entire home directory and then reinstall everything including a newly formatted home directory. Then you can copy necessary personal files from the backup into your home.
