Running TW on an AMD laptop with Gnome Wayland. Non technical noob here. See below. Which should I choose? 1 or 2?

Problem: 1: the to be installed gstreamer-plugins-bad-1.26.3-1.1.x86_64 obsoletes 'gstreamer-plugin-openh264 < 1.26.0' provided by the installed gstreamer-plugin-openh264-1.24.12-1.suse1699.2.x86_64
 Solution 1: install gstreamer-plugins-bad-1.26.3-1.1.x86_64 from vendor openSUSE
  replacing gstreamer-plugin-openh264-1.24.12-1.suse1699.2.x86_64 from vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory
 Solution 2: keep obsolete gstreamer-plugins-bad-1.26.2-2.1.x86_64

Cool. I’ll try #1 and report back.

I tried solution 1 and my system hard crashed during the zyppr update. I had to hold down the power button to get a reboot. I then re-ran zypper dup and tried solution 2 and that seemed to work.

Now I’m getting kinda the same error from the “Software” app. See here for details —> openSUSE Paste

Should I just ignore this error and assume it’ll get fixed in a future update?

I browsed this thread → Gstreamer-plugins-bad wants to obsolete gstreamer-plugin-openh264

If I’m reading it correctly, looks like I just need to wait and the devs will fix it kinda soon.

Yes, this helps. And a good reminder to search first. I gotta make that a habit.
