Do you need any other hardware specs? I’m no longer sure if I installed tgw nvidia drivers both times so I suppose that may have been it but I do think its one of the first things I tried to do. Thanks a bunch for replying!
It’s currently being staged. I guess how much time for it to make to TW is mostly a matter of how well it’ll pass QA. Hopefully, it’s a matter a (very) few days.
Further to this, my sound stopped working. “No input/output devices detected.”
Turned out if I went to the settings and turned on “show inactive devices”, then changed the Profile from ‘none’ to ‘Analog Stereo Duplex’, it went back to normal and worked. sigh
That’s what I get for a rolling release, I guess. I just hope the friends I set up on Linux Mint don’t get similar issues, since I’m not around to help when things break.
I had more or less the same problem in my laptop and in my main PC. But you can get around it just by login again and doing the update through zypper. I believe it restarts the session 3 times, and one of those after login, you just have a black screen. Use Ctrl+Alt+T to bring up the terminal and zypper dup again. After zypper is done just restart and everything will be fine.
Did this with both PCs and both are working with no problems.
Yeah, if I’d known what was going on I could have just switched to VT1 straight away and finished the update. Did the other machine fine by updating from VT1 from the start.
I wanted to try a different DE to get things working, but with network manager down I couldn’t install anything else! Tumbleweed already had IceWM, but without any networkmanager control there either.
Course that was before I discovered I didn’t need any internet to finish the job and fix it. I assumed the update completed but broke something, and hoped against hope there’d be a fix issued quickly that I could further update to.
P.S. I assume you mean zypper dup, but perhaps you’re using the new Irish Culinary/Political Linux, and supper DUP is the right command.
Already wondered what’s causing a 5GB Update, but this explains it:
For snapshot 0328, Ring0 has been completely bootstrapped (as the attack vectors for xz were not fully known, we went the safest route) and for 0329 all of Tumbleweed rebuilt against that new base; Ezpect that snapshot to appear ‘large’ (even though many packages will not be different).
Anyone here using Slowroll as a daily driver? I guess the upgrading to Plasma 6 will be quite smoother than with Tumbleweed, which clearly shows the utility of this distribution, but I was wondering about how it goes as a daily driver.
Also, anyone knows whether consecutive snapshot upgrades are openQA’d specifically for Slowroll?
Not sure why they included random Python packages in the KDE Frameworks section.
Good work to everyone patching the various exploits, April was a spicy month. Oh, and I'm loving KDE 6, so awesome work getting the ready too (I think that was last month though).
I'm thinking of switching to Aeon from Tumbleweed, but i always wonder how you would work with cli tools, like LaTeX or various compilers. Is distrobox the way to go? Does it work seamless?
Same. I think you just use transactional-update instead of zypper when you're ready to install something permanently. I don't know what the package selection looks like though.
But anything that's going to need frequent updates should probably be installed outside of transactional-update. For compilers, I generally use some kind of compiler version manager (e.g. rustup for Rust), which would be outside of the immutable base.
The main benefit is that the base system is immutable, which should make it much more reliable. So to get new software, instead of doing a zypper install ..., you'd leave the base system alone and only install packaged apps (e.g. flatpaks). That way you don't get conflicts between package versions and upgrades can be predictable.
I don't have direct experience with it, so I don't know how well that works in practice. But I definitely like the idea of using it for my NAS, which doesn't need a lot of updates. It currently runs Leap, but MicroOS should be a relatively straight-forward switch.
