Next time, when you see that something important like "firefoxsomething" is getting removed, abort.
well this is the problem i have really no idea why it went into a situation where it removed by firefox example etc. I only unticked those python311 prefixed/named packages on that one repo inside the yast software module.
Could I simply reboot or turn off this system and maybe save my neck by reverting to a snapshot or something?
I hope it did not kill the basic parts that I can boot somewhat into this fde grub menu and select an earlier snapshot there? i never tried this snapshot stuff before. This is kind of a hope, or any other hints on this matter?
Absolutely, revert to the snapshot made just before your yast operation. You can check before rebooting what snapshots you have.
so after the first password unlock of fde, then the grub2 menu showing up, I select some snapshot listed there or how would this work or where does this show up exactly? then the second password entry to actually boot would come along, right?
Alternatively, look in the log what packages were removed and install them back. All of them, one by one.
/var/log/zypp/history
Another possibility is to boot from the installation full DVD or USB, then choose upgrade installed system.
can the 15.5 iso image with its install module use and mount the apready present fde situation of the disk? i really hope so, i already thought about this. in the past, without using fde, i sometimes used to install onto/into the already present and existing opensuse system of the same version e.g. 15.3 iso booting and installing over 15.3 opensuse present on disk already. it would then kind of repair, replace or install certain packages and missing rpm and stuff and fix things for me. thanks for helping.
