As might be noticed in https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-08/msg00407.html and https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1025725 and elsewhere, the online upgrade procedure is anything but foolproof. In that mailing list thread at https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-08/msg00410.html I noted my variations on the described procedure intended to make it more reliable. I'm considering including components of my procedure as alternative options in the "official" offline procedure in the wiki, essentially replacing zypper dup with at a minimum zypper in zypper libzypp rpm libsolv-tools zypper dup Any comments? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-wiki] SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards
by Felix Miata 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards It was terribly out of date. I noted the general inapplicability of Xorg "configuration", and did some cutting and updating, such as replacing instances of 11.3 with Leap and/or Tumbleweed, nv with amdgpu, and run level 3 with multi-user.target. Also bug references I changed from novell.com to opensuse.org. Most significant addition relates to significance of using nomodeset and the availability of Xorg's integrated modesetting driver. I didn't have any luck trying to match current release note and other doc references to the obsolete ones that need to be excised or updated. Much more is needed. I can't do the things related to proprietary NVidia drivers or to Grub2 menus, both of which I never use. I could do more, but I need a rest, and would be able to continue if the Grub2 and NVidia parts were reasonably current. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi PatrickD, This isn't the final design. We are working on some improvements. In next version, the page title, will be smaller, though still big enough as 56px. Other things in the header will also be slightly smaller. 2017-08-14 0:53 GMT+03:00 Yunhe Guo <guoyunhebrave(a)gmail.com>: > Hi PatrickD, > > This isn't the final design.

[opensuse-wiki] "seamless upgrade to Leap 42.3" undefined
by Felix Miata 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

"Users are advised to take advantage of the seamless upgrade to Leap 42.3." The above quote is taken from: https://en.opensuse.org/Release_announcement_42.3 and https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:42.3 Neither define the term "seamless upgrade". "Seamless upgrade" does not appear on: https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/42.3/ or https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade or https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Offline_upgrade or https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_migrate_to_a_new_openSUSE_version Google is unable to locate for me anything on opensuse.org that defines "seamless upgrade". Does anyone here know where it is defined, or what it is supposed to mean? IMO "seamless upgrade" should either be conspicuously defined, or replaced with other language. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I don't understand why the 'Difference between revisions of "Firefox" ' title needs so much vertical space. It seems to take up about 20% of my browser's vertical display. That use of vertical space doesn't contribute to the process of reviewing the differences. Likewise the macro expansion uses horizontal lines surrounded by a lot of empty white vertical space that doesn't add to the review process. Just removing the lines would mean one could use half the vertical space to separate the text. Instead of two vertical spaces, one above the line and one below, one could use one vertical space between each line of text. The more vertical white space the style sheet dictates, the less I can read in one glance. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: openSUSE <noreply(a)opensuse.org> Date: Sun, Aug 13, 2017 at 6:16 AM Subject: openSUSE page Firefox has been changed by Guoyunhebrave To: PatrickDGarvey <PatrickDGarveyt(a)gmail.com> Dear PatrickDGarvey, The openSUSE page Firefox has been changed on 13 August 2017 by Guoyunhebrave, see http://en-test.opensuse.org/Firefox for the current version.
