I’m running Tumbleweed with an integrated Intel GPU. I’ve also got an NVIDIA GPU, but the Intel is active. I’m also running KDE (Plasma). Today, I ran ‘sudo zypper sup’ and there were mesa updates. However, it was the thing where it said, mesa (version) needs a file that is not available, and gave me the choice of what to do. In each instance, I chose to keep the obsolete version, as I didn’t want to break it. After the update, I rebooted, only to get a black screen with the mouse cursor. I tried switching to another cli session, but that didn’t work.
@Yippee38 press ctrl+alt+F1 or if rebooting, at grub press e key to edit, arrow down to the line starting linux and press the end key, add a 3 and press F10 to boot to multi-user.target.
So, I did what you suggested. I was able to get to the cli via editing the grub entry (I had forgotten that I could do that). It didn’t help. But on a whim, I decided to switch to using the NVIDIA GPU, and that worked fine. Apparently, my Intel drivers got messed up somehow. That’s fine. I don’t really need power-saving graphics. I’m almost always plugged in when using my laptop.
@Yippee38 Packman should be fine, but since some things like Mesa get pulled direct from Factory, when a snapshot is delayed from being released, expect issues…
