openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2021/23

•

Dominique Leuenberger

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Today, the weekly review reaches you a little bit late: I was out early yesterday to enjoy the weather. Here, the sun is finally coming out for more than just a few minutes. But, back to the important things that are the openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots. Namely, we have released 6 snapshots (0603, 0604, 0605, 0606, 0609, and 0610) in the last week.

The major changes included:

  • Linux kernel 5.12.9
  • Mesa 21.1.2
  • KDE Plasma 5.22.0
  • libxml 2.9.12
  • Apache 2.4.48
  • PHP 7.4.20
  • Chrony 4.1
  • cURL 7.77.0
  • Mozilla Thunderbird 78.11.0
  • OpenSSH: move of the distro default config to /usr/etc. Admin config is supposed to be in /etc. Make sure to check the .rpmsave files after the update. Best to put config snippets in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/*.conf files to inherit distro config changes

The changes planned for the future snapshots include:

  • python3x packages will no longer provide a python symbol. This caused some confusion in the past when people expected ‘python’ to be the legacy python2, but python3x provided it as well.
  • Linux kernel 5.12.10
  • GNOME 40.2
  • systemd 248
  • KDE Gear 21.04.2
  • Cinnamon 5.0

    Hey there, just a question. Is it normal that gdm is still at version 3.38.2 while the other Gnome stuff is at 40.1?

    Yes, we were seeing quite a few issues in openQA – so before sending this out, we want to have this under control again

    Is there an ETA as to when the issues with https://lists.opensuse.org/ will be resolved?

    @domstar, is there any way I could help test the current gdm version? Since being stuck with the gdm 3.38.2 and gnome 40.x versions, I have severe problems with the fingerprint authentication (constantly attempts to login with a fingerprint and shows issues, no login with password possible – only with fingerprint, while getting constant bug messages). I saw that this https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/887475 is open since 3 months and I would offer my help 🙂
