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).
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).
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.
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.
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?
Thanks, I had a look and I wanted to ask even though it is kinda obvious but I want to confirm about the “community packages”. Who is building them? The word community implies that it may be a community behind them but the naming system suggests that they are personal repos (and most probably not checked). What is the case?
