updating Firefox
I wish to watch Netflix. Messages say need latest Firefox. Downloaded and unzipped the firefox-83.0.tar.bz2 file, which produced a large directory, but no readme, and nothing that looks like I can go further. So what now, experts? Thanx for the help--doug

Hi Leap 15.2?
No, he is on Tumbleweed. Doug, don't do any of the following, that advice is not for you.

If you are using Tumbleweed (as I seem to recall from some of your earlier emails), you don't have to do all that. The latest Tumbleweed (since snapshot 20201127 [1]) already has firefox 83.0. Just make sure you are up to date with the TW releases by running: sudo zypper dup If your netflix issue persists despite updating TW, it may be due to something else. Hope that helps.

Don't try to install that, or you will bork your system, as usual. Delete that directory and firefox-83.0.tar.bz2, and don't ever do those things again. You are on Tumbleweed, you already have the newest Firefox available. So go to the help/about box in firefox and tell us what version you see there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Probably too late for all that. I tried the version that required updating the system (zypper dup) and got some failures, including elfutils, waterfox, libpoppler, libstorage -ng-ruby (I think that's the problem one). Trying to start Netflix produces a failure of ruby.ruby2.7. Told me to save logs at /tmp/y2log-udaSxM.tar.xz I did that, but I can't find it. I have too much to save on this system to reinstall it. If I can't watch Netflix here, I can probably do so in (ech!) Windows. Thanx for trying, guys! --doug

Doug, you are in Tumbleweed. Some of us told you that Tumbleweed is for experts, you must expect problems now and then, and you must be able to solve most of them on your own. Now, the only method to update Tumbleweed is "zypper dup", and you must do it about once a week. You can *not* use any other tool or method to update Tumbleweed. Please do remember this.
Trying to start Netflix produces a failure of ruby.ruby2.7. Told me to save logs at /tmp/y2log-udaSxM.tar.xz I did that, but I can't find it.
That's not Netflix, that is YaST complaining. Not related at all. YaST uses ruby, if you bork ruby then YaST fails. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Hi The user appears to be on Tumbleweed already.... this is so they can roll back to the Tumbleweed version which is already at 83.0, my original post was about changing on Leap, which it seems the user did without reading it was for Leap :( -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) Tumbleweed 20201203 | GNOME Shell 3.38.1 | 5.9.11-1-default Intel DQ77MK MB | Xeon E3-1245 V2 X8 @ 3.40 GHz | Intel/Nvidia up 17:57, 2 users, load average: 0.53, 1.37, 1.30

What did you get? Just paste it here.
PS: release in use is latest from attempt to make Firefox run netflix, i.e., a day or two ago.
And which is it?

Just add "tumbleweed" to your signature. See mine as an example. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
