is there an xfce tumbleweed repo? (i’m using xfce as my DE, not gnome or anything else) and are there some others i should delete? i’m new to tumbleweed and don’t want to break suse! thanks :smiley:

are there some i should enable rather than just keep refreshed? i’m really not sure and need some help.

I followed this how-to: http://forums.opensuse.org/content/55-how-upgrade-opensuse-12-x-tumbleweed.html when setting up for Tumbleweed.

right, thanks, cdurbin. so i should definitely disable the security repo i have enabled
Index of /repositories/security/openSUSE_12.1

as well as the xfce one
Index of /pub/opensuse/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_12.1

those are the two i’m not most sure about. thanks for the help

I don’t see a problem with having specific 12.1 specialty repos attached, like 12.1_xfce and 12.1_security. If they don’t cause a problem in a pure 12.1 scenario, they should be OK in a Tumbleweed scenario, but you could test by doing a dummy run with “zypper dup -D” and have a good look at the dialog you get from zypper.

If you want to tidy up a bit:
Once you install libdvdcss, you can delete the libdvdcss repo.
These two are exactly the same so you can delete one of them: “Updates-for-openSUSE-12.1-12.1-1.4” and “openSUSE-current-Update”
I delete these because they are never used and make clutter, make it hard for me to see the rest: Debug, Update-Debug, Source

great, swerdna. thanks for helping me :slight_smile:

Yes you may use 12.1 repo`s for Tumbleweed since Tumbleweed itself is based on openSUSE 12.1.
The security repo is good to have around has godd tools to track rootkits and viruses(from mail) in your pc. The nvidia repo may cause issues in the future when a new kernel will land in Tumbleweed so eventually that will had to be disabled and the nvidia driver installed manually.

Here are mine:
