openSUSE

Hello,

I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.3.5.

Every time I open an app which needs root privileges (such as myrlyn) I’m greeted by the KDE su window to enter my password. Even if I tick “Remember my password”, this does not have any effects, and the next time I’m asked for my password again.

Any idea on how to ensure the “Remember my password” setting in KDE su is honoured?

Thanks!

Hello, I'm still a noob when it comes to computers. I had a dual boot Windows 11 and OpenSuse Leap 15.6. My problem is that I was using my laptop as always and I was simply searching through internet when the system glitched. So I tried to restart my laptop, but then it showed screens with sth like Bios corrupted, blue screen etc. And then it restarted but only with Windows 11. When I check the settings partition has fully free memory, so it means that my OpenSuse is gone.

What could have gone wrong?

Sorry for the noob question and thanks for any help. I'm just really davastated.

I didn't notice this until the other post about them potentially deprecating YaST (at least putting in on maintenance mode). I figured we could use a thread to discuss other changes coming in Leap 16.

I'm lost here.

I'm using GNOME and fingerprint unlock and it works well, but when I tap the sensor too many times with the wrong finger so that I get a message telling me to use my password, I can just press escape twice and retry.

In such case, is there any way to disable fingerprint unlocking until the right password is entered?

Where is the openSUSE project rebranding currently being discussed? What’s the latest?

I'm finding a lot of threads with no replies and I'm wondering if openSUSE community congregates elsewhere or is it just a quiet community in general.

from the conflict between Packman Essentials and the official repository.

Also

I don't see the package on index of the Essentials repository: https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Essentials/x86_64/
TBF, I never checked the index and don't know if they are normally there.

I wonder

I am not sure if there are reasons similar to xvidcore, and don't know if I should wait or switch to the main repository. (assuming I still want the current codec capability.)

The European Commission sees open-source software as more than an IT tool. Policy makers are encouraging open-source ecosystems to drive innovation, autonomy and collaboration in a world where global trade is being redrawn.

This trade dispute highlights something most open-source advocates have known for years: open source is freedom. It’s freedom from monopolies, freedom from arbitrary pricing, and freedom from foreign influence.

I prefer LTS releases usually so Tumbleweed doesn’t suit me. Slowroll sounds doable but I see it’s still experimental. Is it as reliable as Tumbleweed?
