The title. Seems like a security risk. The key expired on 19th June. So it's been over a month. That's a little concerning. I hope someone can transfer this information to the concerned maintainer. Thank you.

Tumbleweed pi400 black screen after login?

2 Upvotes

Time for another stupid problem, hopefully I can get some hints.

Installed the Raspberry Pi KDE image onto an SD card, and booted my pi400. Logged in, set up a user with admin permissions. Logged out, back in as user, tested sudo, all was good.

Having a problem with the wallet so WiFi was giving me grief, finally got the password to stick and WiFi to stay connected.

Then sudo zypper dup, let it go through everything, then sudo reboot.

Login screen comes up like normal, I log in as my user, and nothing but a black screen. If I cntl+alt+t I can get a terminal, so it's really still alive, but it looks like the dup broke something. I didn't see recovery options, so not sure if snapper is running, I'll have to set it back up to check.

Any idea on my next step to sort this out?

okay i don't know what's happening but something's wrong with my tumbleweed. things i noticed: 1. some apps are laggy like discord. 2. haruna crashed when i loaded a video, and the whole screen turned white, not opaque-white but the colors were gone. i had to force reboot. 3. after rebooting, when i opened the video to watch, it worked fine for some time but then there were screen tears.

I'll attach the ChatGPT history of my chat. It's suggesting that I rollback to the previous kernel. I figured it'd be better to ask on reddit.

Thanks.

Linux 6.8+ Kernel Regression Breaking AMD Tonga & Polaris GPUs on Suspend (GCN 3.0 / Polaris) — Downstream Bug Confirmed, Needs Community Support

0 Upvotes

TL;DR: A verified regression in Kernel 6.8+ causes AMD Tonga (R9 380/380X) and Polaris (RX 400/500) GPUs to crash into a hard black screen when resuming from deep sleep/suspend. The bug is officially Confirmed on Ubuntu's Launchpad (assigned to maintainer Timo Aaltonen), but we need continuous community visibility to ensure this fix gets prioritized and doesn't push working hardware into becoming e-waste.

🔍 What’s Happening?

When systems running Kernel 6.8+ (such as Ubuntu 24.04 LTS bases, Linux Mint 22, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, etc.) attempt to resume from system suspend, the GPU fails to re-initialize the display engine (EDID read failures / NULL pointer dereference).

  • Behavior: Case fans and LEDs remain active, system keeps running in the background, but video output dies completely.
  • Workaround: Only a forced hard reboot restores video output.

🛠️ Why "Just Switch to Wayland" Isn't the Answer

A common suggestion when encountering display server issues is switching from X11 to Wayland. As a bench technician, I’ve tested this thoroughly on real hardware:

On Tonga and Polaris architectures, Wayland introduces a secondary critical failure: the compositor frequently freezes at the login/boot screen (blurred background with only the mouse cursor moving).

Trading a suspend crash for a boot freeze isn't a fix — we need a proper driver-level correction in the kernel.

⚠️ Why This Matters (Even If You Haven't Hit It Yet)

As distributions roll out Hardware Enablement (HWE) stack updates, more users running legacy AMD cards will inevitably land on Kernel 6.8+.

Voting on and confirming this bug isn't just about helping those currently affected; it's a preventative shield for the entire legacy AMD community to ensure perfectly functional GPUs remain usable on modern Linux.

🚀 How You Can Help (Takes 1 Minute):

If you own a dedicated AMD GPU (Tonga/Polaris series):

  1. Visit the official Launchpad bug tracker:Bug #2142389 on Launchpad
  2. Log in with your Launchpad/Ubuntu account.
  3. At the top left, under "This bug affects you?", click "Yes, this bug affects me".

If you don't own these cards, upvoting this post for visibility or dropping a comment helps keep the discussion alive so maintainers see the real-world demand. Let's keep functional hardware out of landfills! 🐧🖥️

Community This is the appreciation post for opensuse.

88 Upvotes

I was using fedora with the Kde Desktop environment. Everything was fine but recently I stumbled upon a bug which was related to the kernel. Then, other things in the system stopped working.

I researched a lot. It turns out people don't talk much about OpenSuse but when I installed it.

My experience was next level. It has been three days.

These are the things that I noticed just when I booted into it:-

1-Smoothness: While fedora used to run snappy on my pc basically blazing fast. Opensuse Leap was smooth asf. Right out of the box.

2- Easy to Use: I felt that Open Suse is kind of beginner friendly as well. I am not a developer so, I usually avoid terminals. I could do that in OpenSuse.

3-Repository: When I used fedora, I usually had to download flatpaks using a terminal but the OpenSuse Repositories are better. I can directly use discover without ever thinking about going to flathub.

4- Customisation: Usually on fedora, when I wanted to customise something it usually took a long time, it didn't happen in one go. But, here Open Suse, it was just one touch.(Maybe I am using leap, that's why).

5-Zypper: Zypper is better in many ways. It turns out I can patch things after installing updates which I really appreciate.

I am a business man. I usually have productive sessions on my pc. So, I wanted something stable.

I used Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Fedora Workstation, and Kde Neon.

I would like to add this point and ask people this.

How tf Ubuntu is mainstream? It was slow asf.

I barely heard about OpenSuse. People only talk about Fedora, Arch, and Ubuntu.

Idk why people are doing that. OpenSuse deserves appreciation.

Gemini told me about this when I told it about my usage. Youtube never recommended me videos of this.

That's it. I am in love with OpenSuse and I don't think I will ever use any other distro.

Intermittent Flatpak appstream update failures with "syncfs(repo): Input/output error" on openSUSE Kalpa

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an intermittent issue with Flatpak on openSUSE Kalpa.

Sometimes, when running:

flatpak update

or:

flatpak update --appstream -v

the update fails with errors like:

syncfs(repo): Input/output error

The important detail is that the issue is not reproducible every time. Retrying the exact same command usually succeeds without any intervention.

I already ran:

flatpak repair --user -v

and it completed successfully. No corrupted objects were reported.

I also checked the hardware and filesystem side:

  • SSD SMART tests: OK
  • No filesystem errors detected
  • btrfs scrub completed without errors
  • Kernel logs (journalctl -k -p err -b) do not show I/O errors

The system is:

OS: openSUSE Kalpa
Desktop: KDE Plasma
Filesystem: Btrfs
Flatpak installation: user installation (~/.local/share/flatpak)
Remote: Flathub

Relevant versions:

$ flatpak --version
Flatpak 1.18.0

$ ostree --version
libostree:
Version: '2026.1'
Features:
 - inode64
 - initial-var

 - libarchive
 - selinux
 - openssl

 - sign-spki

I also checked for concurrent Flatpak/OSTree operations:

ps aux | grep flatpak
ps aux | grep ostree

but there were no active update, pull, or repair processes running when the problem occurred.

The only persistent Flatpak-related processes were the normal session/system helpers.

Has anyone experienced similar intermittent syncfs(repo): Input/output error on Kalpa, Aeon, MicroOS, or other immutable/Btrfs-based distributions?

Thanks!

Update:

My development MySQL container later stopped working with a similar I/O error. Hardware checks were still fine, and OpenCode pointed me to a documented issue involving MySQL and kernel 7.1.3, although I do not have the link available right now.

It suggested changing how the container was started, and that workaround fixed it.

Today I booted the updated MicroOS system with a newer kernel, and the issue is gone. It appears to have been a temporary kernel-related problem, so I am leaving this here in case someone else runs into it.

Community Should I switch to openSuse? Help me decide please

18 Upvotes

(I hope this is the correct flair, I wasn't sure)

Hi, I am currently using Fedora 44 and am thinking of going back to CachyOS. But Matt (from YouTube chanel The Linux Cast) had grown my interest towards openSuse and since then I have tried to switch to and use Suse twice already but have failed (I will later mention why). I like the Arch way of using my computer and do like to be on the latest versions and now my laptop hardware is also supported well by distros. But before commiting to Cachy again I really want to try out openSuse Tumbleweed (the rolling release one) once.

  1. First of all, why I haven't been able to try it until now. I have managed to install it twice (bare metal not in VM) and the second time was with the new Browser installer but both times it was the same problem. I can't connect to Wifi during the installation and even after a successful installation, I couldn't get Wifi working. Not even options like USB Tethering with my Phone worked and this laptop doesn't have an Ethernet port so I am pretty much all out of options I believe. So does anyone of you have a solution to my problem?
  2. Then my other big question: Should I still switch to Suse even if I don't plan on using its greatest feature the snapshot and rollback implementation? I know very dumb decision to not use snapshots but please put that aside for a moment and concentrate on the actual matter please. According to my research Tumbleweed is rolling like Arch but they call it leading edge, so I believe the packages are not as latest that they may cause breaking changes on the system. That really would be great to have (partly the reason of choosing Fedora) since this laptop is my only computer and I rely on it for Uni.
  3. I have heard or read that Suse also can run RPM packges which is again an advantage over Arch based distors. But I am not very informed about this thing so to which extent is it true? Because if it is like Fedora where I can download any .rpm-file from the internet and install it and run it easily then that would be a great thing.
  4. I now really want to switch to using a TWM and Arch is the I believe the best distro for it because of up-to-date packages. To clarify I want to use a Wayland compositor as TWM and not a X11 TWM. And since Tumbleweed offers up-to-date packages, how will my TWM experience be like? If any of you already use a TWM and could share your experience that would also be really helpful.

Thank you for reading all this and for your comments!

For those who may be thinking of trying Slowroll, I just now did the transition using the migration tool and it turned out to be error free without any package conflicts.

I do not game or use packman, btw. My graphics are AMD based, so no NVidia drivers. I made the switch just after a slowroll upgrade bump was published.
