Anyone else tried lately? I cannot do any editing of grub stanzas, only look or F10 or ESC. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

Yes, as $SUBJECT reports. After entering edit mode with e key, cursor keys do nothing, so editing is impossible, so appending various debug parameters for debugging is very time consuming, having to complete a boot just to try on. Note this began happening at least as far back as 20180707. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

I had a major EFI breakdown last Friday. Went from TW20180626->TW20180712. It turned out to be efivars and it also messed up my plasma DPI. Somehow it set DPI to 144 and ended up with huge fonts and consequently huge frames for windows and taskbar etc. Remedy downgrade efivars from 36->31 (as suggested in bugzilla #1100077) run: update-bootloader --reinit Set DPI to 96 in plasma settings. -- /bengan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
