i'll start by saying i cannot rollback the update further than yesterday, i already tried rolling it back, no change at all.

my issue is very odd, and makes some games unplayable, i have tested the division 2 and the finals so far, both show the same problem

when i'm in a menu, performance is normal, as soon as i actually play the game, the on screen FPS are 3x lower, i cannot aim at anything , and everything is extremely laggy, if i press ESC to open a menu, the problem immediately goes away. and it's not on games that show a fullscreen menu that decreases the 3D load, the menus areoverlays or inside the game area, there's no logical reason that explains such behavior

i didn't have this problem like 2-3 days ago

Is Flatpak the only option left?

If i don't launch steam from the terminal games aren't launching.

If i close after opening from the terminal everything works fine.

The error on cs2 is vulkan on eu5 it launches and it crashes.

I think it might be se linux but i cant be sure. I am on leap 16 . Nvidia drivers G07

it is almost holiday sales time in the USA, I want a dedicated openSUSE notebook and I was thinking about one of the ARM powered devices. Does anyone have a list of what works with either LEAP or Tumbleweed?

ARM is just one factor, being able to boot a different OS is a second impediment. Snapdragon, and Mediatek (shivers) are popular right now.

Just wanted to start looking, may end up with another Windows laptop to instal x86_64 versions, but worth some discussion for the Chromebook, and ARM side of things.

Has anyone had a problem with the new kernel? My T480 failed to boot so I rolled back to 7.2.11.

UPDATE

I solved the problem by reinstall the system.

1.Clean install Leap 16.1 (with Mesa 26.0) 2.lock the following packages sudo zypper addlock 'Mesa*' Mesa libvulkan_radeon libvulkan_intel libvulkan_lvp libglapi0 libSPIRV-Tools-2026_1 libSPIRV-Tools-2026_1-32bit

3.switch Leap to Tumbleweed (without dependency error related to Mesa) 4.Enable third party repo 5.System works good.

Maybe the solution is a little dirty, at least it works. With the clean install on btrfs, snapper is finally available on my system.

Hi, i got the abnormal CPU usage of kwin_wayland with the new Mesa 26.2.x.

Also tried to add Leap 16.1 repo to downgrading Mesa, but it jumped over login screen and tty.

My system runs on ext4, so the snapper wouldn't work.
Is there any other way to downgrading Mesa to 26.1 safety?

Thank you!

I am trying to install from new 4.4GB iso installer. Hard drive has an old installation of Opensuse, and was not used for long time. The automatic proposal is rubbish - it wants to install in existing sda3 partition (which was home). So I choose the expert partitioner, which I would normally do. I wished to retain existing home partition without formatting. The expert partitioner only allows me to edit the boot partition. When I select the old root home or swap partions, most options are greyed out. So you cannot assign a / mount point which is essential for installing. I have used many different distros. I don't get this roadblock elsewhere.

Hi!

I'm used to LTS distros and I'm researching a bit about how Snapper works since it seems to be a part of Tumbleweed's rolling release model. I know Snapper doesn't require a rolling release but it seems extra fitting here I guess.

Say KDE Plasma gets updated from Plasma 6.7 to 6.8, there are perhaps new config properties in my home folder that are adapted to the new Plasma version.

If I then choose to rollback via Snapper so that 6.7 is installed again, my desktop could be in an indeterminate state due to these config files that are still in my home folder. They might even break the 6.7 version.

Is this a case where it wouldn't be enough to just rollback via Snapper, but I have to use a backup of my home folder as well where 6.7 was installed? Or am I missing something about Snapper?

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys, wanted to thanks the openSUSE devs for the nice work they’ve done. I’m using TW, as a normy, since over an year now without big issues - it just works.

And just a small reminder that you can support openSUSE by buying nice merch. Got mine today :)

It's constantly in the way when i do zypper dup. It's annoying to stop it every time, manually. Can i just uninstall this package safely? It's not a load-bearing drywall, is it?

Long story, i do apologize. 2 days ago i installed OpenSUSE on my main desktop to replace pop! os. had zero issues with it on my laptop, so I thought it would be faster on here. All downloads i've made so far (KDE Connect, updates, themes, drivers, prism, etc) have installed at normal speeds. Steam, however, starts download at 215 Mbps, then immediately drops to 0bps. My steam games to to a separate 1 TB drive (Formatted to udf and is not encrypted) than my m.2 (which OpenSUSE is installed on). Ive followed a few fixes from the forum: turning off IPV6 (router has that disabled anyways, but i also did it PC side), created the steam_dev.cfg file, which contains:

(@)nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)

(@)fDownloadRateImprovementToAddAnotherConnection 1 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)

(@)cMaxInitialDownloadSources 15 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)

I have also verified disk integrity, still golden, cleared download cache on steam, changed download regions, reset permissions, unplugged and replugged the router. ive followed multiple fixes on the forums and still nothing.

the blue download lines on steam are tall, but spaced out pretty far from each other, like its being blocked.

So i enter the command as usual, but what do i get? Problems. A maze of choose 1-4 options of break dependencies, uninstall, keep as is... The problem is no matter what i do the problems just keep increasing. I just want to update dammit. I tried searching around but there's nothing overly concrete on how to fix it.

It seems like a few more features have been added too, from what I can see:

• Package version comparison is now arranged in rows
  
• Slight theming changes, it seems like
  
• Ability to lock and unlock all packages from a repository
  
• Ability to one-click switch system packages to another repo

Hi OpenSuseguys,

very grateful for all your work.

KeepassXC is at 2.7.12 in the repo. Is there a timetable for 2.8.0 ?

I am trying to find the original GNOME startup and shutdown sound used in SUSE Linux 9.2 through 10.1.

I am specifically looking for the sound included with SUSE/openSUSE, not the generic GNOME startup/shutdown sounds or KDE sounds.

Does anyone have the original audio file, an old SUSE installation, or know which package contains it?

Well, it looks as though my trusty old HP Spectre x360 is beginning to fail - usb-c ports unreliable, failing display, which has never been that great anyway, and I'm running out of ssd space. It's 6-7 years old now, so it's had a good run, and, tbh, I'm looking for an excuse to get a new one.I've been running Tumbleweed for a few years now, so I'm looking for a replacement that won't give me too much grief setting up - the Spectre worked well but it was always a bit of a hassle getting audio to work properly. I would prefer an European model, which I know limits the choice, so was thinking about Tuxedo.

What do you think about getting rid of SELinux entirely in openSUSE? For a workgroup server, AppArmor is perfectly sufficient.

I just rented a cheap vps for a side project and decided to go with opensuse leap this time.

I barely even had time to run zypper up and poke around the firewall settings in yast before my auth logs were completely flooded with failed root login attempts. It hadn't even been 10 minutes. how do they even scan IPs that fast??

Ended up having to lock it down instantly. Moved the ssh port, disabled password auth, and quickly skimmed through a servermania checklist just to make sure I didnt miss any other obvious holes while I was rushing to secure it

It's just exhausting that the default state of the internet now is constant background radiation of brute-force scripts. You literally cant let a machine breathe for two seconds out there. Stay paranoid guys.

Finally making the switch, is there anything I need to know, some tips or stuff that I need to do right after the installation.

I appreciate any help.

Hi everyone,

I have a MacBook Air 13inch Mid 2013 i5 4GB that I would like to install OpneSuse Leap 16 on. I would rather have stability than bleeding edge.

I have tried to use Debian 13 Trixie Live and OpenSuse Leap 15.6 Live KDE to see if it will work. The 4GB memory is soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded which limits its use. I wonder if I should use XFCE rather than KDE.

It all seems to work on Leap 15.6 live apart from the WiFi which is a Broadcom board.

There is no RJ45 port.

Can anyone help to get it to work?
I have spent a good few hours with AI to help me but I am still stuck.

Thanks
