No updates in 3 weeks

I 'dup’d to Leap 16.0 and it went well.
But I have seen no Leap updates in a while. Just the browsers once.

below a list of repos rom zypper lr

Should there more?

@Bill_L Sure they are not being auto installed? There were some for me a few days ago… Have a look at running tac /var/log/zypp/history | less which will show the last entry first (tac is the reverse of cat :wink: ).

Show zypper lr -d

Leap generally gets less updates. Sometimes a week or two go by without an update.

From my Leap 16.0 VM:

That looks similar to what I saw on Thursday last week (Dec 25th).

Checking today, there are no new updates since then.

It’s the Christmas/New Year holiday week. I am not at all surprised that update activity is slow this week.

I am on Leap 15.6 and update every week.
I always get a few of them, only last Thursday there was only one.

I wonder, is Leap 16.0 so much different from 15.6 that it needs far less security updates?

Below, I show a list of updates since mid-October. I put a separator after Nov, since you’re mostly interested in the last three weeks.

Keep in mind, I have software installed that you might not, so the count and frequency of updates are different.

First column is Mon/Day zypper up done, column 2 is the ‘up’ count.

(Mon + Day, up count)
1019 - 32 - the first 'up' since install
1030 - 46
1112 -  6 + kernel update
1121 - 50
1127 - 12 + kernel update
------ 146 total (Oct - Nov), plus 2 kernel updates

============
1201 - 12
1206 - 10
1212 -  6
1228 - 28 + kernel update
1231 -  1 (browser)
-------57 total (Dec), plus 1 kernel update

----- 203 overall total (Oct - Dec), plus 3 kernel updates

What you show looks reasonable to me when I compare with my idea about what happens in 15.6.

To expand on my previous Reply, my primary machine is a Leap 15.6, which has different (more) software installed, and is used daily. The 15.6 and 16 machines run KDE Plasma environment.

For the month of Dec, a total of 94 updates + 1 kernel update (15.6).

FWIW.

Hum… Right now not sure the upgrade was a good ting to do.
I see al lot of th responses here are still on 15.6.

@Bill_L aside from the third party repos, those openSUSE repositories are fine?

As I mentioned in my previous Reply, I am running 15.6 and 16 (but yea, my primary is 15.6). Will update the “primary 15.6” to 16 at the end of first quarter 2026.

Looking at your repo list, I too have the two dedicated vendor repos for Google Chrome and Brave browsers. Plus I only use the default openSUSE repos. I do have some apps installed using Flatpak (installed / updates using Discover).

But to recap … the reason for this thread is “don’t see updates” … for me, I showed updates for 16, as I would expect … no worries here :+1:

I have been remiss & need to rectify. I did get ‘dup’d to 16.0 with the help of @nrickert & will try to update that status in another post.
