Slowroll became Tumbleweed after update and reboot

[epp]

I updated two external SSD’s I have, both have Slowroll installed on them. After a reboot, due to a new kernel, one came up now identifying as Tumbleweed, including on its GRUB menu.

The repositories are Slowroll.

distribution-logos-openSUSE-Slowroll is installed. distribution-logos-openSUSE-Tumbleweed is not.

cat /etc/os-release now shows Tumbleweed with a 2 October date. The only place where I see any reference to Slowroll, aside from the repositories, is the Plymouth boot splash screen and in the previous kernel (info in the image below referencing sr20250901).

Is there a reason why this occurred and is there a way to correct it, short of a new install? Thank you in advance.

I checked the same repo through a web browser and noticed the Tumbleweed 20251002 package is not listed. So did some sort of repository corruption on the SSD take place?

I checked the other SSD (with correct OS version/branding) to see which ‘release’ packages were installed, found onlyopenSUSE-release and openSUSE-release-appliance-custom.

On the SSD with incorrect OS/branding, I used Myrlyn to revert to the correct openSUSE-release package and to install openSUSE-release-appliance-custom.

The system (except for the GRUB menu) after a reboot, now correctly identifies as Slowroll, however when I ran Myrlyn again, it now wants to update the above two packages to the incorrect Tumbleweed package version, which is not in the repo per the above check through the web browser.

I also installed openSUSE-repos-Slowroll to install the repos anew and also kernel-longterm, which installed the kernel in the Slowroll repo.

Upon a reboot, GRUB now correctly references opejnSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll.

When running zypper afterwards, it now wants to downgrade 13 packages to the packages in the Slowroll repo, however it also references the two openSUSE-release packages referencing Tumbleweed 20051002 not to be installed and a product update also referencing the same, so there is still something wrong.

I did a Slowroll dup about 4 hours ago. It’s apparently different from yours:

Bernhard announced on the Factory mailing list earlier that the 20251001 release includes content from 20251002, a deviation from normal release practice, and expressed concern about potential issues.

I am not that experienced and went though the same.

How to go back to Slowroll ?

[yoda2025]

After reboot, yes it was showing Tumbleweed where we can choose which kernel version

but here, I see this :

Seems all fine then. You should be able to perform the zypper dup.

[yoda2025]

Tks hui ! Even if at the boot menu it says Tumbleed (I don’t remember if it was showing slowroll before) No worries ?
If you need a picture let me know

Have a good week end

[hui]

This is Slowroll:

[yoda2025]

sorry for the quality (Dumb Phone, I left the " hyper Connected world " )

My Fresh installation has less than 5 month.

Subsequent package updates fixed the issue for me.
