Under 42,3 everything was working perfectly. Now, i got sound problem went i used the sleep mode. And the core seems to have a hard time following the mouse sometimes. Now my last update has erased windows from my Grub. That the kind of thing that you must expect under Tumbleweed. But not Leap.
What is the fix for Grub ?
Is there is a way to return to 42.3 ?
For me, everything is working well with 15.0. And I think that what most folk are experiencing.
What is the fix for Grub ?
We would need to have more details.
Is Windows using MBR/Legacy BIOS booting or UEFI booting? Is openSUSE 15.0 using Legacy BIOS booting or UEFI booting?
To go back to 42.3, I suppose you would need to do a fresh install. I don’t recommend that.
To understand your current situation better, you’ll have to describe what steps you or guide you followed for your upgrade.
Then, based on what you did, the probable next questions would be to display various that display your current configuration.
Although I don’t remember trying to go back from LEAP 15 to 42.3, sometimes I’ve been successfully downgrading by using the “zypper dup” command or using a DVD to do a “repair.”
You might also be able to solve your problems by doing a “repair” to LEAP 15 (your current).
A missing GRUB entry though would probably require manually re-creating the Windows entry.
TSU
Hint: was fastboot enabled the last time you used Windows, or was it “hibernated”? If so, Win* leaves its install partition in an undefined state that can’t be recognized by Grub, so any update involving re-creation of the Grub menu (for instance, a new kernel) makes Win* “invisible”.
Can you tell me how to determine the type?
Do you have a system EFI partition? Check the output from
parted -l
Do you have a partition mounted at “/boot/efi”?
Your hibernate mode is working? In my computer, it’s not working.
Your sleep mode is working? In my computer, it’s not working.
I am not cynical. Just stating facts. Switching to Leap was my biggest mistake of the year. I am in the middle of a project. And i need these problems like a dog need two tails.
Plasma has sometimes a weird behavior. Sometimes the lagging of the mouse was so bad, I had to move it by step.( It seem to be fixed)
The Post-it widget of Plasma as disappearing act with the other desktop. (Sometimes you see it sometime you do not) ( No a major problem, just funny)
(i am using many desktops mainly because a have lost 3 months of data, thank to Dolphin. Plasma is a great desktop but is file manager is ****. But if you are using KDE based application, the readability is sometimes very difficult under a dark theme in a different desktop.)
Firefox does provide sound. I just give up on this browser.
And I have 2 control to set the language of my keyboard on the most desktop. There is a thing call Ibus appairing in all my desktop with the exception of Cinnamon.wich have a just one.
And i almost forgot. An update has to rewrite my grub for the worst. And even if a rewrite the config of GRUB. It might happen again. Because the cause is in the code of updating. ( i am sure because since a got the dual boot my sleep mode has ceased to work. I using win7 only for games. The games are working, I do not care about the problem) The solution might be 2 modes of booting: A fast mode (without checking and modifying the setting) and the actual mode.
The last time had so much problem. It was with a brand new computer, This one has the first gen of i7. It a least 5-year-old. From my point, the view, Adding one more year of support for 42,3 would have been a smart move. This version is like those baby born after 7 months of gestation. It has deficiencies of prematurity. I have been using OpenSuse since version 8 (at the time it was SUSE). And this one is not a good one.
I try to avoid hibernate and sleep. But I did accidently put the system to sleep recently, so that does work.
I seem to recall from the past, with a now recycled older computer, that hibernate/sleep did not work well with Nvidia graphics. It’s working with Intel graphics.
Plasma has sometimes a weird behavior. Sometimes the lagging of the mouse was so bad, I had to move it by step.( It seem to be fixed)
I had that happen at one time. Shutting down and restarting firefox fixed it. It seems that firefox sometimes gets into memory eating moods.
Plasma is a great desktop but is file manager is ****.
I mostly use the unix shell (i.e. the command line) as my file manager.
Have you checked that in Yast> boot loader> Boot loader options> have it checked out> detects other OS?
Usually if the mouse is slow there is a graphic problem> what features does your computer have> graphics card?
When I was updating from version to version I always deleted the configuration files, before doing it …, try to create a new user and enter with that if you see that it is better you can proceed to delete the configuration files that are between the files hidden, if it is the same you have to investigate the video card drivers.
Both were working well. But my set-up was unusual. 2 drives, 2 distinct boot. I was holding my F2 on start to choose my OS. I change it by accident while updating to leap 15. Big mistake. With this treat, I didn’t have to worry about the destruction of the Grub by Microsoft.
Mozilla does not behave nicely with Linux, these days. I’m still using it for the one-click install. But that’s all.
I’m copying mainly from my home to a USB stick. (Usually, the paths are long. And Nemo is really fast. If you copy a thousand file with Dolphin. You have the time to make your meal, eat i. wash your dishes. With Nemo, i have barely the time to make a cup of instant coffee with the microwave. Maybe Nemo is using the shell too.
I forget to add yast and yast2 to the list of thing not working ( another post). But the one was my fault. I did remove by accident Ruby. I was thinking that a had just to used zypper install yast* to fix the problem. But yast and yast2 do not work. A dependence is missing.

It’s not obvious. Because under 42.3, i had 2 boots. I was choosing the OS with the Bios menu. I think it the part 9 because i do not see another reason to used an ext3 part.
Based on that, you do not appear to have an EFI partition. And in that case there probably won’t be anything mounted at “/boot/efi”.
I was asking, because that could be a possible reason for not being able to boot Windows. But clearly, that is not the problem.
As the root user, can you run:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and see if that adds a Windows boot entry to your boot menu.
Without seeing the 15.0 /etc/fstab, seeing all those Linux native partitions suggests 42.3 might still be installed, but somehow missed in the 15.0 Grub menu. How did you make your move from 42.3 to 15.0? Online upgrade? Offline upgrade? Fresh installation? Reuse old partitions?
nrickert, his paste of parted output got partially misaligned. He has first partition ESP FAT32.
Yes, you are right. And I missed that.
It leaves open the possibility that Windows is using UEFI booting while Leap 15.0 is using MBR booting. That would explain the problem with Windows.
Asimov, please /usr/bin/susepaste the output from bootinfoscript. (It’s an information gathering and formatting script.)
OrsoBruno wrote in this thread (https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/534851-Multiple-boot-options-lost-after-update):
“Check in YaST-Bootloader, BootLoader Options tab, that the “Probe Foreign OS” box is checked and possibly toggle it twice and save to regenerate the boot configuration.”
That fixed the grub issue for me.

When a was closing my computer, i had printing stating 42.3. I did was concerned because everything was working at the time.
i did a download of Leap 15. And i did the installation from a USB stick. With the update menu of the installation “disk”.
I think the upgrade on yast, did reset this selection. But my version of yast do not work. I got the main menu (with new features), but not any submenu.
