Agreed and I'm damn sure going to do a wipe and reinstall instead of a zypper dup. I could have done 10 fresh-installs in the amount of time I've spent chasing these weird zypper dup side-effects. FWIW, I have done a few of those, from 42.3 and 15.0 - all clean. Only on servers though.
I wouldn't hesitate on server installs, the base dup went fine. (the mouse issue is a strange outlier). The hiccups have been with peripheral applications, desktop oddities and strange font issues that don't make sense and from what I can tell (given creating new users and checking behavior there) there is a system library file, symlink or stray config file somewhere that is causing the problem. I've searched and been trough the .rpmnew and .rpmsav differences and nothing of any significance was found. Little things like typing your password into the DM echos asterisks (actual '*') instead of the normal dot glyphs that are normally displayed. There is no way of explaining things like that (okay LOCALE, but that's correct) -- which is what got me started down the which font is the right font? issue. (however on the 15.0 and 15.1 fresh installs I have the same basic fonts selected by default and they show the dots correctly instead of the asterisks in the DM login.... Go figure. How do you sort out why one system is displaying asterisks instead of dots when you type your password in the DM? (it's not going to throw an error, it's just using some base mask character instead of what should be used by the desktop) The search goes on... -- David C.
