Some of them will, no doubt. Others might just say "rebuild your initrd". If Carlos is at that point - googling, having to apply his own imagination, read a man page - he'll work it out. > and you will somtimes face a bug for the workaround you will > nee to do yourselfe a mkinitrd. example: > https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1181768 Certainly, that will always remain.

[oS-EN] Questions on Gnome classic
by Carlos E. R. 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Hi, I'm trying gnome classic - what I use normally is XFCE, so the normal gnome is way too different for my taste. The classic seems more comfortable to me. I expected after a reboot to get the same desktop, but no. I had to restart the terminal and gkrellm. When closing, I did not see a tick or something to save the session. Is it somewhere else? When I press [Alt][F2] to type a command, it doesn't autocomplete (XFCE does). Is it a setting somewhere? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

El Reg Smiles on 15.5 Beta - good press
by David C. Rankin 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

The Register, Has done a test-drive of the 15.5 Beta and provided good ink regarding the experience. Though it hasn't fully kicked the tires, the install was "impeccable". Also noteworthy is the increasing traffic seen by SUSE/openSUSE as user apparently shy away from Ubuntu's "containerized" snappy offering (are you listening SUSE?) Good press is -- good press. https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/28/opensuse_is_thriving_and_leap/ -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

System rollback
by Roger Oberholtzer 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

A colleague did a zypper dup of his Tumbleweed system a bit ago. Seems it borked his system. So he is using a read-only snapshot. I want to help him revert to the state before the backup. He has a standard Tumbleweed layout (initially installed in November, so surely using the current preferred layout). He has made no changes to the system since then. I have read the information related to this here: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-reference/c… Which is pretty good. Before I follow the advice contained there, I am just asking if this is what one should do: 1. Boot with a recent read-only snapshot. We are using the one just before the current non-functioning one. 2. Run: snapper rollback 3. Reboot into the default image That's it? If so, seems too easy. Which makes me suspicious... -- Roger Oberholtzer

Tumbleweed: Problems with YapStocks Widget in Plasma. Did we change something particular in Tumbleweed with QT?

I tried with the qt6 version of charts, did not help, then did a QT5 version install parallel to it but the error persists. This widget worked flawlessly for years now, I am somewhat puzzled about what may have changed, must have been very recently. Any suggestion?

Leap 15.4 on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro R5H/16/512 14 - graphics, trackpad, mouse problems
by Per Inge Oestmoen 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

Problems with Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro R5H/16/512 14! I have the above machine, but cannot get the graphics, trackpad and mouse to work properly. The problem is that with kernel version 5.14.21-150400.24.46-default (64-bit) the trackpad and mouse works with no problem. However, the screen resolution is limited to 800x600. The screen's native resolution is 2880×1800. Then, I tried to upgrade the kernel, with the kernels found here: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable:/Backport/standar… When I upgrade to one of these kernels, I get 2880×1800. But, there is a big "but" here: The mouse and trackpad do not work properly. The cursor just jumps unpredictably over the screen. As a result, both the mouse and the trackpad become unusable. I then had to go back to the 5.14.21-150400.24.46-default which was installed when I installed Leap 15.4. Then the trackpad (and mouse if I choose to attach it) both work properly again. However, I am then stuck with a very coarse 800x600 screen resolution, which is certainly not functional. There is no way to change the resolution, as far as I can see. So what do I do in order to make the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro R5H/16/512 14 work with Linux? Is there a known kernel which will do the trick, or is there a way to change the resolution (and also get the correct color depth)? I assume that the correct kernel will solve the situation, but where is it to be found? Here is my machine. You can see the technical data of the machine in detail: http://www.coldsiberia.net/technics/20230318_224141_2000.jpg Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

I 100% endorse this. It's an excellent little plugin that makes Xfce, already by far my favourite desktop on openSUSE, Debian, Fedora etc., far more versatile as well as much more modern-looking. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven(a)cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lproven(a)gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
