update 1.6 RC to GA
by Darryl Gregorash 31 Jul '24

Am I correct in thinking that the proper way to update an installation from a release candidate to a general release is via "zypper dup" rather than a simple "zypper up"?

Any word on 6.10 for TW?
by David C. Rankin 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Devs, all, Just curious what the outlook for the Tumbleweed update to Linux 6.10 is looking like? Are we looking at a couple weeks for testing to settle down, drivers to be updated, etc.? Not a complaint, just trying to get an idea when we may see the kernel update so I can set aside time to deal with the Nvidia G04 driver if needed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Printer Problems and Suggestions?
by Lew Wolfgang 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Hi Folks, I've got a conundrum going on here. I have a Xerox 6180 color laser printer here that's about 15-years old. Recently it started to print a blue streak down one side of the paper and to add speckles at random. This is likely the cyan toner cartridge that's leaking, but the darned thing costs $150 or so. But if I bought a new one it might not fix the problem! So I thought about just buying a new printer, maybe one with a built- in scanner. The Brother MFC-L3780CDW looks nice, but will all the functions work with Leap? Does anyone have any experience with that printer? So both paths have risk. The problem might not be the cyan cartridge in the Xerox printer, and the Brother might not be compatible with Leap! What am I to do! Any suggestions will be appreciated! BTW, I've got a Canon ink-jet printer that never did work with Linux. I had to run Windows in Virtualbox to use it. Not particularly satisfying, and now even that doesn't work. Regards, Lew

I am at 15.5 fixing to upgrade to 15.6. But I think I need to fix the below error first. I get this when in yast2 I click on "Yast Software Repositories". Errors occurred while restoring the repository configuration. Error refreshing service openSUSE (dir:/usr/share/zypp/local/service/openSUSE): [openSUSE:repo-oss|http://cdn.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.5/repo/oss] Repository already exists. Regards Mark

avidemux on Tumbleweed
by jdd＠dodin.org 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hello, just a word to say I could finally make avidemux work on openSUSE Tumbleweed, even in an ugly way... here: https://www.snapfiles.com/downloads/Avidemux/dlAvidemux.html you can download not a snap file but an exe file for Windows, and this one runs on Wine... so install Wine from zypper, download "Avidemux_2.8.1VC64bits.exe" and running "wine Avidemux_2.8.1VC64bits.exe" installs avidemux and then it's available on kde menus (wine part) why not directly on linux: because it don't compile. Some library(ies) don't works. Appimage dont works either (load the video, but with only sound, no image, weird). I love avidemux to cut a 4 hours take in small chunks, like this: http://dodin.org/piwigo/index.php?/category/10933 thanks reading jdd -- https://artdagio.fr

Hi, is the list server - lists.opensuse.org acting up? I can no longer send to, and am not receiving emails from the users, factory, kde, and packaging @lists.opensuse.org mail lists. I am using the website at lists.opensuse.org to post/start this thread cuz I can't do it from Thunderbird any more. I tried changing my password but no joy. FYI - I ran some tests from mxtoolbox.com on my email server, nothing wrong with it... Marc...

Is there a Virtualbox Non-OSE rpm for Tumbleweed?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jul '24

27 Jul '24

All, I'm not great deciphering the various virtualbox 7.0.20 rpm names in the various OSS or community repositories to tell if the rpm is Oracle branded non-OSE with USB support. Virtualbox puts out rpms for openSUSE for the non-OSE version, but only has 15.3 as the latest rpm (which is used for Leap 15.4 and 15.5) E.g. in https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/ or if you prefer https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.20/ I've not yet installed virtualbox on Tumbleweed for that reason. Any help would be appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
