OK thanks.
One last thing. Do I install 15.1 or 15.2?
15.2 is scheduled for Gold Master in 8 days, with official release announcement the following Thursday. I can’t think of many reasons to stick with the older 15.1 if optional repos are not in your immediate plans. Lyx and ufw should be ready and waiting for you to install from standard 15.2 repos, just like in 15.1.
OK thanks, Now I think I’m ready.
OK, so success at last, halellujah! Laptop is working even after removing live USB. Thanks to everybody who pitched in, but of course it was Mrmazda who really shot the trouble. Kudos to you sir. And thanks for everything again.
One last thing how do I change to this new authentication password, a’la the message that shows up on logging into forums.opensuse.org, or is it not for me?
You joined recently and thus already used the new way from the beginning. No need to do anything here.
OK, thanks a lot for letting me know.
How do I close this thread?
You can’t. Only mods and admins can.
Edit the title to include the string [solved]???
