I’ve got an effekt multiple types. Each time I’ve installed package update with the newer kernel version via SoftwareUpdater I’ve got unbootable system: black screen and no reaction to keyboard/mouse (no Ctrl+Shift+F1, nothing).
Booting in secure mode and booting using earlier kernel version all lead to the same result => unbootable system.
The only thing that works - booting readonly snapshot (previous one), reactivating it and installing packages via YAST, manually turning off update for nvidia-packages (nvidia-gfxG04-kmp-default and nvidia-glG04).
No idea why those packages get proposed.
Output of zypper update-command (before having installed kernal update):

It could be caused by my issues with nvidia driver some time ago (it was opensuse 42 or so):
I’ve installed nvidia driver from script (it was very complex case - was hard to disable niveau)
than unfortunately updated it using yast (installed nvidia binary package)
than didn’t know how to clean it up.
after some time I’ve uninstalled nvidia and reactivated niveau. NVidia driver hasn’t helped with closed video formats, but caused longer booting times and poor console.
Now I’ve added nvidia packages to the black list and hope it is “solved” for me. But the question is: why nvidia is proposed during installation of newer kernel version? (Why I had to suffer so long? or Could it be prevented somehow?)
Thank you for advice. I’ll remove the nvidia repo.
But what do you mean with repos from Factory? The only repo not for Leap15 (except the one from adobe) is for Leap42.3 and is not activate.
The term “Factory” isn’t clear for me.
The LibreOffice Factory version is for Leap 15 (or am I confused somehow?).
Factory means a repo that is for development and more or less untested. You can break the system if you play around in factory repos without understanding the possible consequences
