One mirror - repository for Tumbleweed: https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/Factory/Essentials/ There is no "current". I think I saw in the past a symlink named "current", but it was for Leap, not Tumbleweed. Today there is no such thing. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Tumbleweed is able.

I think the latest version of Tumbleweed allows for 15.3 LEAP. I I am not because I would like to see more testing. I want to learn about bug reporting and talk to people. I cannot since I guess, it's life. Sorry for trying with - Tumbleweed - Thanks for all your setting up, I can see the difference yet not leaving. panorain

I'm having trouble with the dhcp config in the installer, it takes very long and sometimes it just fails. It is a network install. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland.

VS Code on openSUSE? (yes really)
by David C. Rankin 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

All, I would never use such a thing, but given the frequency questions arise on StackOverflow regarding its use, I decided to see if I could install it on Leap. To my utter amazement, MS has a repo for openSUSE making it trivial to install the IDE. So I did. Works absolutely fine. (few rants about the tooty-fruity C/C++ syntax highlight colors aside) Yes, you have to opt out of usage statistics (I left the crash reporter enabled). They try and hook you again by suggesting you download and install the C/C++ extensions which automatically re-enables usage stats, but you can just write a tasks.json file to build C/C++ without it. I spent about an hour with the settings (there are many, but no way to change the syntax colors). The have the nice mini-map like kate/kwrite in plasma (that gets a Meh... in usefulness, but you can patterns in your code and jump easily with it -- that was about the only use I found for it, even in sources with thousands of lines -- crayons issue) Nothing will ever beat kate/kwrite as simple code editors. I'll use them both in plasma, but prefer the KDE3 versions of both. Once you have learned the shortcuts (at least in the KDE3 version -- for the most part unchanged in plasma), all other shortcut key layouts just seem horrible inefficient by comparison... So bottom line, if you like VS Code and wish you had it on openSUSE, well it's as simple as go to the download page, configure your "code" repo per the instruction on the page, import the gpg key (kudo for the security), and then zypper in code done.. a 94M download and about 250M full install. Even with the "nanny" feature rich environment it has, it is kitten-light on CPU usage (compared to something like TI CCS which is implemented through chrome). So there you go, my $0.02 review. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Can't log in any more to Bugzilla
by jimc 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

I last successfully logged in to https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/ on 2021-03-16. Today 04-20, I could not authenticate. It looks like there is a new authentication infrastructure (whose name I didn't copy down). I went through the "reset password" procedure twice, and finally got on once, but once again I'm unable to get on. The login page shows an error message, "Bugzilla requires a valid user name and password". This month I've installed a password manager, Bitwarden. When appropriately clicked on, it will insert the user ID and password in the login form, which it "successfully" did with all three passwords (original and two new ones). But whatever it inserted, was not acceptable to the auth system. For the new passwords I generated new 16 byte random ones, and saved them in a file, and pasted them onto the password change form, and then the Bugzilla login form (after Bitwarden's rendition was rejected). These also were rejected. The one time I got on, I was very low tech: I typed everything letter by letter. But 3 hours later I could not repeat that performance (with the same password, the second new one). (I tried several times.) So I signed up with the mailing list system, which uses a different infrastructure including a choice of Identity Providers; I used the OpenSuSE one. Actually I gave it my latest Bugzilla credentials, but it wanted to sign me up with a new identity. Apparently the Bugzilla provider shares identity info with it; it knew my e-mail address without being told, but it did not re-use my user ID, which combines my normal loginID and my work site name, so is very likely to be unique. Does anyone have any idea what's going on, and how I can authenticate to Bugzilla? I'm thinking that the login form has been updated with Javascript provided by the new outsourced Identity Provider, that can distinguish keystroke input from program-generated text and which rejects the latter as a defense against bots. While bot defense is not bad, you get a whole lot better defense if you encourage the users to use a password manager with long random passwords. -- James F.

No KB in Plasma (X11) after TW update
by Rodney Baker 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hi all, I've just updated my TW installation (first update for 3-4 weeks, so included full glibc update) and after rebooting I have no KB in Qt applications under Plasma (X11). Non-qt applications are working ok (e.g. Thunderbird, Firefox, xterm) but no qt apps (i.e. no native KDE apps) are accepting keyboard input. I'm using nvidia drivers (installed "the hard way") with dkms. I've tried installing the 2 latest driver versions (465.24.02 and 460.73.01) as well as the version I was previously running (460.73) - no difference. I've tried rebooting to the kernel version I was previously running (5.11.6-1-default) and the latest (5.11.15-1-default) - no difference there either. Qt applications do work using a "Full Wayland" plasma session, but my desktop is borked using that and I cannot change the second monitor from "Folder View" to "Desktop View", no matter what I do ("Some settings are locked by the system administrator", which is weird). They don't work under Plasma Wayland (X11) or Plasma (X11). This would seem perhaps to point to an issue between X11 and KDE/Plasma, but not sure. Any hints/pointers? TIA, Rodney. -- ============================================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au ==============================================================================

Hi, I am installaling openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop computer. The live usb starts up fine now with the "nomodeset" flag. The problem I am having is at 98% of installation completed I get a warning concerning GRUB2 (Installing grub2 to device failed-/usr/sbin/grub2-install: Decompressor is to big). I have attached a link containing the error message here: -> https://ibb.co/6Jh4t7C I have posted in the forums on this also. I would appreciate your help on this as it seems i'm just so close to being able to successfully complete installing. :| Thank You
