I apologize for being silent, I just spend the last days on my MTB in the fields and forest and was too tired to do meaningful work in the evenings. This morning, until almost to this moment, I managed to install Leap 15.5: the installation process went smoothly, some steps were extremely time-consuming, e.g. installation of the LaTeX. So, this kept me busy (with long waits!) all day. But at last I have Leap 15.5 running and I can write this reply under 15.5.
I do not even plan to install 15.6, rather I decided to wait for the successor version (Leap 15.7?). Therefore, I consider this matter closed. Except:
You should report your problem in Bugzilla. Otherwise, it may never be solved and might appear again in the next release.
Installation of Leap 15.5 triggered two issues:
1) the installation process seems to suggest the use of the brtfs file system. For obvious reasons I insisted on Ext4 for the /home partition. Question: Are there compelling reasons to switch to brtfs? If so, how should it be done? In the course of a future system installation?
openSUSE devs prefer btrfs for the root system. The snapshot system allows a user to revert an update, that seems to be the most salient feature. I do not like it, mainly because when it crashes, it crashes royally, and handling of breakage needs an expert. I can not do it on my own, which is reason enough for me to refuse to allow it. But the default for /home was XFS, I am not aware of that changing.
2) On starting applications from the command line my new Leap 15.5 produces strange "Qt" messages. Examples:
fjp@Tuxedo:~/Admin/TuxedoCA1702/Leap15.5> kate Leap15.5-current.txt& [1] 3429 fjp@Tuxedo:~/Admin/TuxedoCA1702/Leap15.5> Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication rejected
Ask in a new message to attract people that know about such issues. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
