issue with opensuse make computer useless

Hi i have much issue with opensuse some month after reinstallation its get only worst before i can boot or login but know its issue about i only get keyboard on login other pc i can only log in with root on one desktop, other did not can login or boot.

So what to do? Opensuse Tumbleweed its to much bug, so i did not know i much switch back to Leap or find other distribution?

Normaly upgrade is 5378 packages take long time and still to much bug.
I find bugs in fedora and ubuntu but not so critical ican not boot as Live DVD to make log files to find out what happed?
But i get much error

Files is corrupt, not safe to install (MD5 sum or SHA1 failed) if you install this packages it may be safety issue?

Tryed to only install KDE desktop, but buth windows 10 and opensuse is useless. Tryed but to upgrade but get issue about downgrade or not install packages, so its failed.

I hope in future its possible to start xchat or memory disk on install to find out what happed why its failed?

Its issue with https://idp-portal.suse.com/univention/self-service/#page=createaccount because i only get access to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports

It seems that you are a bit frustrated with trying to use Tumbleweed. But this is a technical help forum and nobody can even try to help you when you do not report your problems one by one in a technical understandable way.

I assume you are aware of the fact that many people use Tumbleweed without much problems since already a long time and are still enjoying it. That does not mean that they do not encounter some problems from time to time (as you can see here on the forums), but in general they do not have the experience you seem to have.

So please start a thread about the first problem you encounter (seemingly already at boot). Give thread a good title that informs potential helpers about what it is about and provide in the thread technical information about what you do and what you expect to happen and what happened instead. Only so can people make an effort to help you.

On the other hand, if you only want to vent your frustration, we have sub-forums like General Chit-chat. But even there just ranting may not attrackt many people to discuss with you about such vague problems.

You and other can make how to make package list on upgrade issue its on install or upgrade is hard to make screenshot and make files to memory stick.
I dont want to make sub-forums like General Chit-chat. tread because want its fixed, but also want to find out why i get issue? because its hard if KDE\gnome even will boot.

You can also tell why i only can edit wikidock but not make bug?

Ubuntu have more easy bug and support (ubuntu-bug + package name) not sure if opensuse have it on terminal? so easy to report it?
Its can be one files or some SVN files that is issue, but hard to find out.

Your English is hard to follow, maybe it is a good idea to use a site like https://www.deepl.com/translator to translate Norwegian to English and vice-versa.

The image as hard to read but it looks like you have installed packages from a strange source (“Hovedpakkebrenn”?) and likely that can explain much of the problems.

I think you are better off switching to Leap.

I assume that that simply translates as Main Package Repository and thus may point to the Main OSS repo.

Did not think its help to much try to use:
https://en.opensuse.org/Create_installation_USB_stick

Imageusb did not works.

But is openSUSE Leap 15.3 RC more safer? or still same issue? i can try but did not expect much. i hope its have kernel 5.12 and firefox 88

No, Leap in general has the long-term support version of FF, you could install the Mozilla Repo an switch to 88 I guess.

Kernel on 15.3

 uname -a
Linux dell5-1218 5.3.18-56-default #1 SMP Wed Apr 21 07:55:27 UTC 2021 (5f858b1) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I prepare USB-sticks with Suse Studio Imagewriter, it’s in the standard repos. Works fine.


I most boot from the UEFI mode to install or upgrade to 15.3 not sure if its will works, but i make a try.
I get error message UEFI mode can not be upgraded to bios, but try to add grub with mbr so maybe its works?

But i did not have much expetation i did not get any error message after that yet, but why did its have Tumbleweed if its so much issue?
I want updated system but its much important to get system that works not to much bug.

long-term support

I did not care about long time support, if some get wrong its wasteless. I think its did not take long time its find other bugs. But hope its not so big as with tumbleweed.

Is there legacy boot in BIOS? I keep away from this UEFI nonsense…

Hi
If single boot or UEFI not available make sense, however I would still use a gpt disk setup and pmbr_boot, protection from MBR attacks (and phone home windows ones)… If multiboot, UEFI does make multibooting different operating systems somewhat simpler but that is also hardware dependent as some manufacturers UEFI implementations are lacking…

but what is know bug with openSUSE Leap 15.3 RC?

I find out if you install RPM in Discovery it get failed or much failed messages?
I also find out that use df to show harddrives did not show correctly.

Its also a bug with set style to window or install opera\Chrome RPM with Zypper say its corrupt but works fine?

Not sure if bug repport works fine but i did no get asked for username + password?

But its look like less issue now but its missing gnome\xfce and much yet, but i think its possible to make bug more easy now.

How to add:
https://opensuse.pkgs.org/15.3/opensuse-oss-x86_64/MozillaFirefox-78.9.0-8.35.1.x86_64.rpm.html
https://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-default

Without risk of completly break down opensuse?

Because if i install much like that i get SVN files with 5400 files to be upgraded and mess up system. Its better to find way around or?

Hi
Don’t use a third party site for finding/installing packages, use the version from the Distribution (oss repo).

For example Mozilla Firefox, just because it has version XX in Leap, doesn’t mean it hasn’t had security fixes backported the only thing you don’t get is Feature updates.

Hi
For the likes of say subversion, I suspect it is pulling in ‘recommended’ packages (maybe texlive stuff), if you don’t need them then either disable the feature (I do) or install with --no-recommends.

Folks:

I believe the OP is experiencing the same problems that I have found in both TW and Leap 15.3 beta . . . possibly relating to kernel or relating to EFI and grub that went through with recent upgrades??? In my case wiping grub and booting into a whiteness of nothingness???

To OP, if you ran an install and you can get into a GParted window to check to see that “/” and “/home” are in fact installed, then try to get a SuperGrub2 disk for your machine set up and use that to boot the TW install . . . and then try to get the /boot/efi situation straightened out.

Maybe at some point the devs will realize the problem and, um . . . fix it??? Please.

Hi
Not without bug reports…

openSUSE:Submitting bug reports - openSUSE

If any UNIX® – Linux, macOS, BSD, Android, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX®, whatever – begins exhibiting problems and/or issues such as these, the usual culprit is, a hardware failure …

  • Are you absolutely certain that, the disk hardware is functioning correctly?
  • Are you absolutely certain that, the memory hardware is functioning correctly?
  • Are you absolutely certain that, the CPU is functioning correctly?
  • Are you absolutely certain that, the Mainboard is functioning correctly?

What happens if, you attempt to install the operating system ISO images you have, on another hardware?

Are you absolutely certain that, the operating system ISO images you’ve downloaded via the Internet are error free?

  • Did you verify the downloads by applying the Checksums available from the download servers?

Issue with it:

With their limited resources the openSUSE team has to focus on openSUSE-specific bugs/features. Further, they cannot be experts for every single application, so the maintainer of an application at bugs.kde.org is likely to have more knowledge and can fix things quicker.
Thus every non-openSUSE-specific bug, i.e. bugs that are valid for other distros as well, should have a report at bugs.kde.org. In case it is a really important feature, like e.g. bluetooth support not working at all, or a really important bug, which might already be fixed upstream, then it does make sense to file it downstream (at bugzilla.opensuse.org) too and add the upstream bug report into the URL field. That way the openSUSE team can keep track of showstoppers before a release and crucial fixes after a release.
If your upstream report is set to “fixed” and includes a patch, you should set your opensuse report from “upstream” to “confirmed” for the openSUSE developers to possibly backport the fix.

And i get error
Login to profile is not available for employees yet. Log in to Bugzilla so its did not help much.

So im sure that most of bug i find its opensuse not other distribution as kubuntu 21.04 or fedora 34.
Its can be bug only to upgrade from Tumbleweed to leap some like this happed, but its mirror issue, but i think its should be fixed. (Better format disk) Because bug i find in leap 15.3

Its must be disk issue or packages issue opensuse leap 15.3 works a lot better with upgrades, its can upgrades package that not Tumbleweed can after installation.
But its can be issue if UEFI\bios version be overwrited not sure if format its very good on this distribution its only overwrite so its can be bug that only i see but not is on leap in real?

@malcolmlewis:

OK, good advice . . . but, as the OP pointed out it’s not entirely “seamless” over here in SUSE-ville to report a bug. And, I thought I had a Bugzilla account already set up, but I guess the old accounts got wiped out in the transition of the forum last year?? Bugzilla wasn’t logging me in, etc. Just making for more time being gobbled up to get a fix in for something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place??? :cry:

I’ll get to it, but likely not today . . . .

Did anyone know if possible to downgrade to LEAP from tumbleweed if bios give black screen?

Did anyone know if windows 10 show on grub bios bootlist, but i get recovery (I think bootloader is useless)
IF its some thing to do without need to reinstall everthing because reinstall windows 10 may broke up linux grub config.

So anyone have idea because other pc is no useless but its a bug on tumblewed that only root user can login and i get issue with the most

Maybe make sudo zypper install leap-15.2.rc-desktop or anything?
