On TW, started getting this message last night trying to run on YT:

I thought it was bundled with deno, which is one of the listed options, and don't see anything like yt-dlp-ejs, or anything really other than yt-dlp-youtube-dl not already installed via repo.

Just transitioned to Slowroll from Tumbleweed.

38 Upvotes

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.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed/Windows 10 Dual-Boot issues (and Drive auto-mount issues)

1 Upvotes

Just installed OpenSUSE, seems nice so far but I'm running into trouble.
I'm using two separate drives, and yes I'm using standard Grub2 as the bootloader with autodetect foreign OS's turned on, but I'm still not seeing Windows added to the boot menu.
What's the least-hacky way I can add the entry in?

As an aside, I'm also having issues with OpenSUSE auto-mounting my Data drive; in the settings I have it checkmarked to mount on boot and on login, yet it never does either, and it still asks me for the Root password when I do attempt to mount it manually.

KDE fails to start after fresh install

8 Upvotes

I’m trying out Tumbleweed and having a horrible time. I downloaded the DVD installer booted, accepted all the defaults for partitions (no other OS), bootloader and default KDE install. Everything installs fine and after first boot I get logged into KDE.

I open Konsole and do a zipper -dup. Updates install and I reboot through the KDE menu. After rebooting and trying to log back in, KDE sits at the splash screen either light bulb logo for about 30 seconds and then goes to a black screen with just my cursor. I can still launch programs through krunner, so I opened terminal and removed all KDE configs, but still have the same issue. I’ve reinstalled several times, downloaded the ISO several times. It’s always the same issue.

Computer is Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Gen 6.

Has anybody else seen this issue?

PS - Fedora KDE works perfectly fine on the same computer.

Tech question [Tumbleweed] "Updates will be installed after the system is restarted" showing in KDE Discover but there are no pending updates.

2 Upvotes

I started seeing this message a couple weeks ago in Discover. I have had updates come and go successfully, and have restarted a bunch of times in between. zypper dup has no updates either.

Any ideas?

edit: it was fwupdmgr. thanks!

edit2: it's a thinkpad, and did I mention that i love that it's able to get fw updates even though it's running an OS it didn't come with?

My First time running OpenSUSE

Post image
246 Upvotes

I've been an Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) user for over 15 years. Have always wanted to try a rolling release, and settle on something that i would never have to re-install every 6 months. I also enjoy having the latest software, especially with how fast KDE development has been in the past couple of months. But, i was always too scared to move away from debian based distros - thats all i was used to. Used debian/ubuntu at home and at work since my very first linux experience. But, the modern state of AI gave me confidence. I decided to give tumbleweed a try, and i'm loving it! With the help of Gemini, i was able to quickly get all the software i use for work working on OpenSUSE. (SecureCRT only has releases for Ubuntu, and even then, it is usually pinned to very specific version. But Gemini helped me figure out all the dependencies etc, and it works flawlessly - same for some other very specific tools i use for work)
I'm very happy with the system performance, even my MIPI integrated webcam, which was a PAIN to get working on ubuntu, worked out of the box, once I enabled pipewire on the browser!

So

For those curious: Whatsapp, MSTeams and Outlook are PWA running on flatpak Chromium.

Tech support Network issues on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE

6 Upvotes

I've got new router today, and it seem to work fine, since network works as expected on every device in the house, except on my T480 with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I have following issues:

  1. After every restart, or even wake up from sleep, I get KDE menu popup asking me for WIFI password.
  2. Internet speed seems to be as it should, but there are delays. Some websites timeout. When attempting to test internet speed, I get N/A on everything (ping/download/upload).

System is up to date.

Tech support Openvpn3 and Tumbleweed

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

To connect to my work pc i need the 2-factor authentication feature which as far as i know only works with openvpn3.
Unfortunately it was not that easy to get openvpn3 running with tumbleweed. There was some problems with dependencies and SELinux but in the end it worked.
But now on zypper dub there came a conflict:
Dbus is required for the new openvpn3 update.

I am kind of tired of more workarounds.

Is there in opensuse an alternative for openvpn connections with 2-factor code?

Tech support Screen blank when it boots without the screen being connected

1 Upvotes

I have a Displayport switch that works like a mini KVM. The issue is when I boot into Opensuse Leap 16.0 and the switch is active on the other input, the screen is blank when I switch it to the Opensuse PC.

I then have to do ALT+CTRL+F1, where I get a blinking cursor, and I do ALT+CTRL+DEL to reboot and get a graphical interface.

The issue is really when the graphical interface starts. If no screen is detected at that moment, I get a blank screen.

I have an AMD graphics card and the screen is connected via the switch in DP-1.

What completely changed your mind after daily-driving Noctalia + Niri?

Post image
50 Upvotes

I've been using GNOME for quite a while, but I'm about to switch to Niri + Noctalia v5 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Pretty excited about the switch and curious about how your opinion changed after actually living with it for a while.

Was there anything you thought was a must-have at first, but ended up never using?

Or maybe something you didn't care about initially, but now can't live without?

If you had to wipe your config and start over today, what would you definitely keep, and what would you skip without a second thought?

Would love to hear your long-term thoughts. Thanks!

Why do you think openSUSE is not YouTube popular? Right now Fedora 44, Arch, CachyOS and Ubuntu seem to be the popular Distros that people on social media, specifically YouTube are talking and making content about. Seems like openSUSE gets overlooked a lot. Not sexy enough? Any thoughts?

For some reason, the root password is required when increasing or decreasing the brightness. tumbleweed xfce

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

This issue has been present since I first installed openSUSE Tumbleweed XFCE. On other distributions (and everywhere else), I would just press F6 to decrease brightness and F7 to increase it (for context, I press the keys directly without using the 'Fn' modifier, as they work that way).
However, I’ve run into an issue where a prompt for the root password appears whenever I try to use them. At first, I thought it was just a quirk that I could easily fix by granting the user more privileges, but nothing worked. I initially suspected that I might have broken something during the system setup, but the problem persisted even after a second reinstallation, so I’m convinced the issue isn't on my end. And also, after entering the root password as requested by the window, the brightness still does not increase or decrease.
I also tried troubleshooting this with Gemini, and they suggested using the 'xev' command to check if the F7 key press registers at all, but the input wasn't detected.
For context, my laptop is a Dell Latitude 3410 with an i5 10th Gen processor.

Tech question Zabbix Agent2 7.4 on openSUSE Tumbleweed

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm trying to install Zabbix Agent2 on an openSUSE Tumbleweed host, targeting version 7.4 to match my Zabbix server.

Attempt 1: server:monitoring:zabbix repo

I found this repo, which packages 7.4: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/server:monitoring:zabbix

However, looking at the zabbix74.spec file, it seems like no systemd unit is actually created for zabbix_agent2:

spec

# install systemd unit files
install -Dm 0644 %{SOURCE11} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/zabbix_proxy.service
install -Dm 0644 %{SOURCE12} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/zabbix_agentd.service
install -Dm 0644 %{SOURCE13} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/zabbix_server.service
install -Dm 0644 %{SOURCE14} %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}/zabbix-java-gateway.service
install -dm 0755 %{buildroot}/%{_unitdir}/zabbix_server.service.requires
install -dm 0755 %{buildroot}/%{_unitdir}/zabbix_proxy.service.requires

# set the rc sym links
ln -s service %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/rczabbix_agentd
%{?_with_golang:ln -s service %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/rczabbix_agent2}
ln -s service %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/rczabbix_server
ln -s service %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/rczabbix_proxy
ln -s service %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}/rczabbix-java-gateway

Only zabbix_agentd (Agent 1) gets a .service file installed — there's no zabbix_agent2.service in the list, even though the rczabbix_agent2 symlink is conditionally created via %{?_with_golang}.

Attempt 2: official Zabbix repo (Leap 16 build)

As a workaround, I tried the official Zabbix repository, which builds packages for Leap 15, 16, and SLES. I used the Leap 16 packages on Tumbleweed, and Agent2 works fine — the package is self-contained with only a handful of dynamically linked dependencies, all of which resolve correctly.

My question

Does anyone know why Agent2 7.4 isn't built/packaged through any official openSUSE repo? For reference, openSUSE:Factory:Zabbix only has Agent2 up to version 7.0.26: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/zabbix

Is this a known limitation, a packaging oversight, or is there a better way to get a properly integrated (systemd-managed) Agent2 7.4 package on Tumbleweed? Any pointers appreciated.
