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 🙂
