Just a heads up in case someone else is also affected. It's most likely one of the updated packages rather than an SSD hardware problem.

I updated to the latest snapshot a couple of hours ago and everything seemed fine until Steam tried to update Cyberpunk 2077. The update was downloaded correctly but Steam got stuck during the installation process and eventually displayed a disk space error. Trying to access the secondary drive in Dolphin showed strange and incorrect directory sizes so I decided to reboot. The reboot process showed some sort of SSD-related error messages but I couldn't read them.

On rebooting, Tumbleweed went straight into emergency mode and my secondary SSD had disappeared. Went into BIOS and it wasn't there either until I powered down my system and reseated the drive. It showed up in the BIOS after this but upon logging in to the desktop and restarting the Steam update process, the problem occurred again and the SSD refused to show up until a full shutdown and power flush.

I managed to fix it by using Snapper to rollback to a stable snapshot. After this the Steam update ran perfectly and the drive is now okay.

Hello, I recently installed Tumbleweed, and everything's been great except for this one bug that I've not had on other rolling KDE distros (Arch and CachyOS to be specific).

New non-maximized windows or application popups (e.g. the LibreOffice logo) are erroneously appearing in the bottom-right corner of my screen, despite the default behavior being to have them appear in the center of the screen. Specifically, this bug occurs when no windows are visible on-screen (so when I've got no apps open, or any open apps are minimized). Attempting to circumvent it with custom window behavior rules hasn't worked. Resetting visual settings and customizations back to stock also yields nothing.

Has anyone else experienced this? While digging through KDE's bug forums, I've found a bug that's very similar to my issue, but is allegedly fixed in Plasma 6.8: LINK

Also, for what it's worth my display resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9) and I'm using an AMD Radeon 9060 XT. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT 1: After doing some testing, I've noticed something odd. Technically, the windows ARE being placed on the center pixel of my screen... but on the top-left CORNER rather than being placed on the center of the window itself. Is there any way I can force it to use the center of the window as it's point-of-reference rather than the upper-left corner of the titlebar?

I forcefully migrate to Wayland after last my KDE update in Tumbleweed and now I've lost all my session. I saw some times ago that this was resolved (maybe only Konsole wasn't fully working) but now I've lost all my session! Is it a bug or is it my configs fault? Someone can give me some advice?

I'm a linux amateur using Fedora. I've been reading about Tumbleweed because it seems interesting and I've seen posts about them and usually people prefer Tumbleweed more, but have few things I've thought about

1. If people usually intend to usage of .rpm packages on Fedora/RHEL, isn't Fedora more of a "standard"? Therefore openSUSE lacks on the software side.

2. I've read about Packman and getting codecs from there. On Fedora the RPMFusion seems more care-free. On Tumbleweed it can get desynced and postpone updating.

I think these are somewhat big and important things related to the accesability and usage of the distro.

So my question is, why did YOU pick Tumbleweed over something like Fedora?

I'm not here to rile people up and these are usually not absolutes. I am just interested.

TL;DR: Run:

sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Basically, the AppImage seems to expect the Ubuntu/Debian way of handling CA certificates.

You can remove the symlink afterwards if this ever gets fixed with

sudo rm /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Hi folks,

Basically, title. I can't install Kdenlive due to missing libQt6Qml.so.6(Qt_6.11.2_PRIVATE_API)(64bit). Is it because in the past I had Packman repository and I recently replaced it with VLC repository (reason: too many issues with Packman)? If yes, can you please educate me on how to install Kdenlive from main repository?

Thanks in advance!

I tried to install opensuse tumbleweed because I really want to try it, but while I was away grabbing something this happened, and I have no idea what to do about it.

When I did that due to having to have Windows on my system to clean install, the secure boot option was erased in BIOS, MSI motherboard. I unplug it so I will know which hard drives to install Windows OS.Again Debian SSD needs the Grub2 configuration redone via terminal, B550 motherboard, no firmware updates available for the SSD's either.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently using Arch Linux and thinking about switching to openSUSE, but I'm undecided between Tumbleweed and Slowroll.

My PC has an NVIDIA RTX 3060, and I mainly use it for gaming and everyday tasks. I'm looking for a reliable desktop experience without giving up access to relatively recent software.

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I wanted to play with It a little. I think the system is corrupted last time I was able to log in I kinda deleted the linux partition that I created and then nor windows or linux would load. I remember that some years ago you were able to use linux with your pendrive without installing It but was very slow I wanted to look in my SSD but now I got like a browser with installation configuration so It lost the point. I'm trying to install OPENSUSE for like 2-3 days tried the MBR and GPT with ISO but none would do the job SO the only option left was to use DD which kinda worked but then navigating the host tab got UNEXPECTED APPLICATION ERROR! (401) SO I'm wondering if that is because my SSD is GPT and not MBR??. I couldn't figure out the SSD configuration since the system was corrupted.

I upgraded a server on Linode from 15.6 to 16.1. I can SSH in just fine on Bitvise. It does the same in FileZilla on my Linux desktop. But the SFTP function opens, and the server immediately closes.

I can't find any logs in /var/logs related to SFTP. There is nothing relevant in the systemctl status that is remotely helpful. Is there a known bug with SFTP and in-place upgrading?

I have a couple of static sites, two Rails apps, and an Elixir app running behind Nginx, plus a few private services on a single VM, and don't want to have to start over from scratch.

Maybe I should move it to Tumbleweed, since I develop on Tumbleweed, so I don't have to do in-place upgrades, but I'm afraid I would run into the SFTP problem again.

Is there a config issue here that the upgrade process caused that I just need to rewrite?

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

I like keeping similar apps together on my panel, but I was tired of filling the Icons-Only Task Manager with empty .desktop files and transparent icons just to get some gaps.

So I made a fork that lets you right-click an app and add a spacer after it. There’s also a setting for the spacer width, and the spacers follow their apps when you rearrange the icons.

It’s working well on my openSUSE Slowroll setup with Plasma 6.7.5 and Qt 6.11.2. It’s a compiled widget, so other setups may need a rebuild.

Source and downloads

Sharing it here because I’ve seen other people looking for something like this.

As the title says, KDE 6.8 has landed on Tumbleweed. It's downloading now. 1.5G update on my system.

Lately, I’ve been struggling (perhaps due to my own lack of knowledge) to set up XRDP and access my OpenSUSE machines—previously Tumbleweed, and now Leap 16.1 RC—via RDP in an independent manner.

After some trial and error, and with the help of Gemini, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide. This procedure explains how to configure OpenSUSE Leap for RDP (XRDP) access with a graphical interface, allowing for a remote session that doesn’t disrupt any ongoing physical session—or that works successfully even when the computer is "headless" (i.e., running without a monitor or an active console session).

Step 1: Installing and Enabling XRDP

Since the modern native tool (krdp6) is designed for screen mirroring—which would either cause conflicts or require an existing active session—we have opted to use XRDP integrated with Xvnc to create isolated virtual sessions. Install the xrdp package:

sudo zypper in xrdp

Generate the initial RSA encryption keys (required for the service to start for the first time):

sudo xrdp-keygen xrdp auto

Disable any potential conflicts with krdp6 if it is active in systemd:

sudo systemctl disable --now krdp6

Enable and start the xrdp services:

sudo systemctl enable --now xrdp

sudo systemctl enable --now xrdp-sesman

Verify that the services are running without errors:

sudo systemctl status xrdp xrdp-sesman

Step 2: Opening Ports in the Firewall

If the system is running firewalld (the default on openSUSE), you must open the default RDP protocol port (3389):
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=3389/tcp --permanent

sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Step 3: Configuring the Graphical Environment (KDE Plasma) per User

To ensure the session manager knows which environment to load when logging in via RDP, define the KDE Plasma X11 startup command in your user's home directory.

Create or overwrite the .Xclients file, pointing it to Plasma:

echo "startplasma-x11" > ~/.Xclients

Make the file executable:

chmod +x ~/.Xclients

Step 4: Remote Connection

From another device on your network, open your preferred RDP client (such as Remmina, FreeRDP, or Windows Remote Desktop).

Enter the local IP address of your openSUSE machine. At the graphical Xrdp login screen:

Ensure that the session mode selected on the authentication screen is Xvnc.

Enter your openSUSE user credentials (conradot and your password). The KDE Plasma graphical environment will be loaded in a dedicated, independent virtual session.

Question regarding headless operations on Tumbleweed + Plasma 6 Wayland: With the standalone X11 session removed, what is the official/supported method to scrape the live console session (seat0) over VNC headlessly?
Currently:
KWin doesn't support wlr-screencopy (so wayvnc is a no-go)
x0vncserver has no X root window
krfb hangs because xdg-desktop-portal-kde / MegaAuth halts on interactive consent ("No entry for remote-desktop") with no physical monitor/user to click Allow.
Is there a supported config/policy flag to bypass interactive consent for headless VNC, or is seat0 headless VNC officially unsupported now?

I was using OpenSUSE tumbleweed with tpm+pin unlock in my pc, it was working perfectly until one update just broke it and I get the same error till today (using snapshots didn’t help)

sudo sdbootutil enroll --ask-pin --method=tpm2+pin

WARNING: Component 710-kernel-cmdline-initrd-entry cannot be found in the event log, PCR 9 cannot be predicted
WARNING: The prediction for PCR 7 does not contain the current value
WARNING: PCRs 9 dropped from the policy (component mapping)
New recovery PIN:

After using PIN it ask for LUKS password 3 times and says cryptenroll not authorized.

If I enroll anyways at 3rd time (3rd time shows the input in the terminal) I enroll and no I need both PIN and LUKS password, sometimes PCR 15 will fail after LUKS password.

I tried to unenroll and enroll, update predictions, changed bios settings: delete and regenerate secure boot keys, use custom/standard, reset TPM, nothing works for me, I keep getting issues with PCR 7 and 9.
I even updated bios today, same problem.

Does anyone knows which is the solution? I love tumbleweed I just want this to work 🙁

If I have a spare tablet with Linux on it and/or an Android tablet, is there a way to use it as an external display in Tumbleweed via USB? (In case it matters, I'm on Niri right now.) I did some searching and it appears like there were some options back 6-9 yrs ago but I couldn't find anything recent.

So in the past weeks there were multiple questions asked, what to choose when packman and the Opensuse came out of sync.

I understand the best suggestion is to wait for resync...

My question is - how to know that you should wait and how to know that there has been a decisions made to change the source of something?

I'm a pretty green Linux user (~6 months, tops) and I've been using openSUSE tumbleweed as my first distro. The experience has been good so far, but I'm having an issue with the pairing on my Galaxy Buds 2.

The earbuds will auto-connect to my laptop solo-booting Linux just fine, but only if I exclusively use them with the laptop. Any time I use them with my phone (Android,) it means I have to re-pair them with my laptop the next time I want to use them for it. I think I've had a similar issue with having to reconnect a wireless mouse after using once on my Android tablet.

I've tried looking online for solutions, but the closest I've been able to find was someone dual-booting Windows and Linux. Essentially, they had the same issue, but it was between two OS's on the same device instead of between two devices. Some of the comments mentioned needing to share the secret key created by Windows so that Linux can properly connect to it. Obviously the exact circumstances are not the same, but it seems like a similar solution might work. At least it seems that way to me.

Are there any practical ways of getting the key generated by Android? Is there a different solution that I am missing? I'm comfortable messing around with files and config on my Linux install, so that's not a deal-breaker if it comes down to it.

EDIT: To clarify, this is not about connecting to 2+ devices simultaneously. I'm saying I have to add the earbuds to Linux as a new Bluetooth device any time I use them on something else.
