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.
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.
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!
Interesting, I can’t post here if I select “English” as the post language.
I get an error 400 HTTP status with a JSON error: “language_not_allowed”.
It works fine if I leave the language as “Undetermined”. Are these just the OpenSuse community settings?
And without YaST, you can set GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub, then run update-bootloader or grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg as root.
It’s just one of the things I noticed.
Yes, Printer setup on openSUSE is still a clusterfuck, for reasons. You're best off in openSUSE KDE to just point your webbrowser at http://localhost:631 and log directly into CUPS and setup your printers that way.
If you want all your web video and whatnot to work, you need to install the codecs from Packman, in their entirety, or use a flatpak'd web browser. openSUSE won't ship patent encumbered codecs from the official repositories.
Unless you really know what you're doing, with Leap, or Tumbleweed, stick with the OSS and non-OSS repos provided. They are the ones that have been through the openQA process, and are officially "supported". If you enable a bunch of home:devel: or other repositories, just assume that they're unstable, and use at your own risk. If you're looking at a repository on OBS, and don't see openSUSE_Tumbleweed as one of the build targets, then forcing the install with a Leap or SLE package, may, or may not break things.
Regarding zypper ref and autorefresh, I can't recall exactly, but there is the chance that just running zypper dup and hoping that it refreshes everything on it's own, with non-standard repositories may fail, which can lead to some weird edgecases.
Just in general, you're going to want to run zypper ref && zypper dup (not the other way round) As far as YaST being targetted more at Leap than Tumbleweed, you're exactly right. And there's a reason that we don't ship it with newer flavours of the distribution.
I haven’t used openSUSE in a year or two, but I did really like it. You can easily adjust the Grub timeout with YaST. It was under System > Bootloader.
I ultimately stopped using openSUSE because I kept getting conflicts with zypper and Packman, but that was probably my fault. If you’re on Discord, the openSUSE server is one of the more friendly ones I’ve seen and very helpful.
