[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the week 2016/1
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This is the first review of the year – and will cover the four snapshots 20151231, 20160101, 20160105 and 20160107. First off, we heard about your issues with Plasma5/Akanodi/KDEPIM5. A short explanation: only things up to ring2 are tested in stagings to not break with checkins. Up to now, kdepim4 is in ring2 (as part of the default patterns, it is installed). kdepim5 is not. And thus, breakage, direct or indirect, is hardly seen. I heard from the KDE Team that there is a plan to correct this – then we will see kdepim5 as part of the rings and get more testing attention, as it deserves. Now, to the ‘better’ news – what did you get with those 4 snapshots: * Plasma 5.5.2 * KDE Framework 5.17.0 * KDE Applications 5.12.0 (sadly, not complete, which causes above mentioned issues) * Mesa 11.1.0 * Rework Tumbleweed theme, based on the new graphics. Some minor glitches here and there to be corrected * and as usual, all the smaller library updates What are the things to expect soon: * Hopefully a fully working and stable Plasma environment with a complete set of KDE Applications 5.12.0 * systemd 228: still pending as our test machine loses network connectivity after updating from 13.2 * gcc 5.3.1: some more failures to fix with yast/boost: gcc got a bit more consistent and raises -Wdeprecated-declarations to errors when -Werror is also passed. This in turn makes some yast modules fail to build (yast uses -Werror, but the deprecation warnings come actually from boost). Have a great weekend, I’m looking forward to another exciting year for openSUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I really appreciate all this hard work and I really do like being on the bleeding edge but after 5 months on TW with no real problems - I would like to state that I had to move my main machine at home to Leap this last week due to an annoying bleeding cursor problem after the 20160105 update. I uploaded a screenshot to show what I mean URL: http://paste.opensuse.org/11465402 I believe that the bleeding cursor problem (which started as of the 20160105 update) is due to my video card : SAPPHIRE NITRO R 280 4 Go openSUSE picks it up as a "Tonga PRO [Radeon R9 285/380]" I did a fresh install after the 20160105 update (the next evening just to check) but the annoying bleeding cursor problem problem was still there. The reason why I think that the problem is due to my video card is that I did not have any problems after updating another TW machine which is basically the same as my my main machine except for an older AMD video card. I also did not have any problems after updating my Lenovo X200s Thinkpad (which has an intel chipset). I just did a zypper dup on to double check again and all is OK. I downloaded the openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot2016010 this weekend and wiped Leap and did another fresh install yesterday on my main machine and added updates (20160107) but the bleeding curseur problem was still there. I did another fresh install and restalled Leap and it went away. No problems to report on my other test machines however. I am eager to move back to TW but I would like to go on record and say that running VMware Workstation 12 Pro for a day or 2 at a time is more stable on Leap than TW (but I guess that is what Leap is all about).
