Looking at Linux Userspace, I like that they talk about the new installation program in version 16 that came out 5 days ago, which I've worked with for 3-5 years, but installation programs in Swedish aren't that interesting if you're not Swedish and have a release team t-shirt at Willys in Täby Centrum until Friday, I'll try to pick it up on Wednesday or Thursday if I feel better then I'm coming down with a cold and my usual winter depression

I am setting up a back up of my OpenSUSE Leap server and am unsure whether to include the /.snapshots directory, which contain the snapper system snapshots. Any thoughts or links? I tried a web search about this, but didn't find anything that seemed to provide an answer.

Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

I’d like to install Leap 15.6 on an older laptop which is currently running Tumbleweed.

I have a single partition with btrfs and the standard subvolumes created during the original Tumbleweed installation.

Can I install Leap while preserving the btrfs @home subvolume? I played a bit the partitioner in expert mode but couldn’t find an obvious way.

Thanks!

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!

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

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.

Leap Micro continues its alignment with SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro, ensuring robust container and virtual machine hosting capabilities.

Anyone use this?

The openSUSE Board is calling for the formation of a working group to explore topics focused on project governance, operational models and rebranding for the project.

This follows a call on the openSUSE Project mailing list to formalize efforts, ideas and suggestions by community members in a centralized location.
