Slowroll Set for a Quarter of Updates
https://news.opensuse.org/2024/07/03/slowroll-set-for-a-quarter-of-updates/
Slowroll, which has a more modest update cadence than Tumbleweed, is gaining acceptance as a balance between the rapid updates of Tumbleweed’s rolling releas...
Problem: 1: the installed steam-1.0.0.79-1.4.x86_64 requires 'glibc-locale-base-32bit', but this requirement cannot be provided. deleted providers: glibc-locale-base-32bit-2.39-7.1.x86_64
Based on https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/1d798rc/another_update_breakage/ one option is to wait for the next snapshot, what are you guys doing?
Tried to update the packages this morning, got the following error:
Dependency resolution failed:
the to be installed Mesa-32bit-24.0.5-1699.376.pm.1.x86_64 requires 'Mesa = 24.0.5', but this requirement cannot be provided the installed Mesa-libGL1-24.0.3-372.1.x86_64 requires 'Mesa = 24.0.3', but this requirement cannot be provided the installed Mesa-24.0.3-372.1.x86_64 requires 'Mesa-libGL1 = 24.0.3', but this requirement cannot be provided
Follows a list of dependency issues.
I am using a mix of packman and opensuse repos, which might be the cause of the issue.
I had a look at this thread (sorry it's Reddit), and the general advice is to wait for a few days for the packman package to be updated. https://old.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/1bo3yix/issues_with_packman_mesa_update/
I'll hold on for now, and see how it goes in a few days
Finally the Onboard on screen keyboard works on Wayland
Comment #5 : Bug #1826742 : Bugs : Onboard
https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/1826742/comments/5
As a workaround you can use https://github.com/Supreeeme/extest to make Onboard work. Compile it as a 64 bit library and launch onboard with env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libextest.so onboard If you want to use it with KDE you can add X-KDE-Wayland-VirtualKeyboard=true to its desktop-file. I used kwin rules to get rid of window decorations and have it always on top without stealing focus. If someone knows how to make all other windows smaller when it's active that would be great. Only prob...
Plasma 6 Landed in openSUSE Tumbleweed
Plasma 6 Landed in openSUSE Tumbleweed
https://linuxiac.com/plasma-6-landed-in-opensuse-tumbleweed/
Tumbleweed's snapshot 20240311 delivers the sleek Plasma 6 desktop, delighting all openSUSE users betting on the rolling release model.
I have a soft spot in my heart for SUSE, started with it from Windows many years ago, since have tried many distros. I always kind of want to come back, but Tumbleweed always seems to break on me, last time it was some kind of libsoup something that managed to make every XMPP app broken. I have been on Arch since then, but was thinking Slowroll might have fixes in before the next update.
I am not sure where I want to land, want rolling release but maybe more stability.

Why is there no LibreOffice in the Gnome Software that I can install from the repos?
Might be a noob question, but I dont understand this. I'm running Tumbleweed with Gnome. When I search for LibreOffice (the whole suite, not a single program) in the Software app, I can only install it as flatpack. Still I can install it via zypper install libreoffice
which installs it from the repos, I guess. Why doesn't Software find LibreOffice in the repos?
