From 7.2.5 to 7.2.7 I try to update, but the apps do not open

I have tumbleweed/KDE/plasma/wayland. From 7.2.5 to 7.2.7 I try to update, but the apps do not open. I always come back to 7.1.8. Is there a solution?

Hello and welcome to the openSUSE forums.

This is also in your title. But nowhere about to which package(s) these version numbers belong. Nor what you did to “try to update”.

You should really explain more to help people understanding you as long as they can not look over your shoulder.

I always use “sudo zypper dup”. Now there are (
1461 packages to upgrade, 92 new, 80 to remove.) I tried AI, sometimes says it’s mesa packages, other it’s the screen refresh rate.

Please show your repository list.

zypper lr -d

Show the actual zypper dup output.

Add a description what the issue is. We still don’t know which app does not work for you.

Use the “preformatted text” button in the forum editor to paste terminal output.

Is this a problem?

In any case, you are new here, so I allow myself to explain you how to communicate better with the people here that will try to help you.

When you want to show something frm a terminal session (like your zyper dup), the please copy/paste all that belongs to it, starting with the line with the prompt and the command, then all output and at the end the new prompt line.
Then copy that into your post as Preformatted text, using the </> button from the post text editor.
Only so can we see what you did and what you got in the same way as you see it.

Example:

henk@boven:~> uname -r
6.12.0-160000.38-default
henk@boven:~> 

This is of course true for your zypper dup, but also for the rest of your text.

zypper lr -d

The packages fro “sudo zypper dup” there are too many and the replay refuses to accept it.

The following package requires a system reboot:
  kernel-default-7.2.7-1.1

1461 packages to upgrade, 92 new, 80 to remove.

That is not “too many” if you upgrade, say, twice a month or so, so where exactly is the problem? zypper refuses to upgrade?
When you refer to 7.2.7 etc are you meaning the kernel-default package?
If so, maybe your EFI partition is too small and you may have to delete older kernels before a successful update, but without an understanding of what he exact error you see is, it is impossible to help.

Ok. zypper dup runs through without conflict but afterwards no app is starting?
What is the the terminal output when you start one of the non working apps from a terminal?

zypper does the upgrade. But after reboot nothing is working. How can I delete older kernels leaving the kernel 7.1.8 in which I’m working now?

I disable two repositories, (sublime-text, devel_languages_zig). I did sudo zypper clean -a
sudo zypper ref -f and I try anew upgrade. There is this message, is any importand?

Message from package util-linux:

New /etc/fstab limitations for mount(8)!

This update introduces significant security hardening that may
result in breaking or incompatible changes for unprivileged user
mounts. The following changes are permanent security hardening
measures and cannot be disabled. They apply to unprivileged
(non-root) users:

X-mount.nocanonicalize:

  Paths must always be canonicalized for unprivileged users. The
  X-mount.nocanonicalize option is now ignored for non-root users.

X-mount.subdir:

  The X-mount.subdir feature for detached subdirectories is
  disabled for kernel < 6.15 for unprivileged users due to inherent
  race conditions.

Path canonicalization:

  If LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2 is set, mount target paths for user
  mounts will no longer traverse directories writable by
  unprivileged users to prevent TOCTOU races.

Future util-linux or kernel versions can remove these restrictions.
Follow the mount(8) man page.

Unless you manually changed the /etc/fstab on your system that is just a warning.
But please post:

uname -r
zypper se -si kernel-default

so we can see what is your actual situation with installed kernels.

uname -r
7.1.8-1-default

S  | Name           | Type    | Version   | Arch   | Repository
---+----------------+---------+-----------+--------+------------------
i+ | kernel-default | package | 7.1.8-1.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages)
i+ | kernel-default | package | 7.1.6-1.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages)

OK, so you are not upgrading from 7.2.5 as implied by the thread title, but from 7.1.8.
No wonder that you have some 1500 packages to upgrade.
You can safely uninstall kernel-default-7.1.6-1.1, easier with Myrlyn, search for kernel-default, go to the “Versions” tab and mark 7.1.6 for uninstall, then “accept”.

To check if you have a size problem with the EFI or root partition, please post

df /boot/efi/EFI
df /

or btrfs filesystem usage / instead of df / if you use btrfs for the root partition.

df /boot/efi/EFI
Filesystem     1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on

I tried again to upgrade to 7.2.7 and after reboot to new kernel, there was a blank screen.
