Yes, delete all four entries…
Do the freezes occur randomly while you are actively using the guest virtual machine, or do they happen after a few minutes of inactivity?
You can see the energy configuration here.
Could you show the output of the command zypper repos --details run on the host?
<.yikes !>
I have no idea what any of these entries do.
ha ha ha
Well, cowards die a thousand deaths, the brave die only once !
Taking my wife to a family thing very important to her, in a few days for a few days.
I’ll make a window for the down-time required for this next week when I get back.
Thanks again for your help.
Hi.
I used the open suse migration tool, which fixed my repo stuff. It disabled much of it, these four are enabled (the missing numbers are disabled).
Also power settings are a tad different in OpenSUSE then Ubuntu:
my power mode is balanced
My autoscreen blank was 15 minutes – I just turned it off.
The freeze are random, I’m actively doing simple stuff: internet radio (VLC), reading mail, many windows in Firefox open, lots of free memory.
This last time I was cutting from the XML file in the host and pasting into my last reply in this Forum
Hope this zypper repos --details cut from host and paste into this entry readable.

Your still using X11? If so, don’t think I’ll be much help everything I use here runs Wayland.
The default installation does not include the X11 repository.
Check what is installed from it using the command zypper search -i -r 2 and see if you can change the vendor to the default openSUSE:repo-oss; then, disable the X11 repository.
Restart the system and test it. If the error persists, try using Wayland. You can select it at the bottom of the login screen.

Hi. Been busy on and off the computer, and been away.
I think my due-diligence had me see that wayland was to be my choices, so I choose it at all opportunities during the update via tool.
Yes, I suspect the default installation doesn’t include X11 repository, it’s left over from what was.
And, in my reading since y’all posted, seems there are/were difficulties with wayland and I read lots of things about converting back. But I didn’t see anything about converting over.
Anyhow, still on X11 because I didn’t know any better.
In your post, it gave me a clue of choosing Wayland – wasn’t where you said, but I found it.
So, cleaning up some stuff after been away for some days, and will follow y’all instructions and rebooting wayland this afternoon.
Thanks, y’all, for help, advice & counsel – and especially patience.
Provided this goes well, I’ll do that “remove spice” procedure suggested.
And thanks for the Angle slash Angle suggestion.
Is there a cheat-sheet or something available for how to post here?
Think I’m on Wayland.
?All I gotta do is choose from that list I didn’t know about !?!? ha ha ha
My choice was
Gnome on Wayland
? proof shows me this:
env | grep -E -i ‘x11|xorg|wayland’
DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome-wayland
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=gnome-wayland
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
XAUTHORITY=/run/user/1000/.mutter-Xwaylandauth.1UFUR3
XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
XNLSPATH=/usr/share/X11/nls
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
GDMSESSION=gnome-wayland
Do I need to do something else as well ?
and
inxi -Gx
shows me this:
Graphics:

Am I there, or have I more to do?
That should be “wayland” is gnome-session-wayland installed?
Great !
Makes sense to me.
I got here using the auto-upgrade-tool.
My search shows me this – I’ll include link at end.
gnome-session-wayland
Wayland support for the GNOME Session Manager
This package contains the definition of the default GNOME session on Wayland.
There is no official package available for openSUSE Leap 16.0
But it does show me a community package, with a “one-click install”
[home:gcomes.obs:ring0](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3Agcomes.obs%3Aring0/gnome-session)
I don’t want to screw things up.
Can I safely install such?
My Link:
Leap 16.0 gnome-session-wayland
No.
You don’t use software.opensuse.org for software search.
Open Myrlyn instead and search for the package. Or use zypper.
The easiest zypper search example is:
zypper search --details gnome-session-wayland
In the (S)tatus field you will see if the package is installed.
You can simply install a package by using Myrlyn or zypper. E.g to install the package via zypper:
sudo zypper install gnome-session-wayland
zypper search --details gnome-session-wayland

Note: For an extended search including not yet activated remote resources
please use 'zypper search-packages'.
So I think I’m installed, but installed anyhow (zypper won’t let me hurt myself <.grin>)
sudo zypper install gnome-session-wayland

Nothing to do.
Looks like some lefover Xorg cruft… you might need to search and delete…
OK. Thanks. Getting off computer for some volunteer gigs, be back tomorrow.
Perhaps the upgrade was funky and didn’t complete properly.
In any event, I have no idea what to “search and delete”.
My quick googles didn’t provide any clues.
Can you point me in some direction(s), and I’ll pursue tomorrow morning.
Thanks again for your help and patience.
Use zypper or Myrlyn and look for packages with no h(gn)ome as in “system packages” they will likely be x11 or xorg related.
