Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
During this week we managed to release a snapshot every day. Granted, some were relatively small, but overall, there were some nice updates in the 7 snapshots published (0708…0714).
The most relevant changes were:
- Mozilla Firefox 102.0.1
- KDE Frameworks 5.96.0
- KDE Gear 22.04.3
- KDE Plasma 5.25.3
- Salt: fixed runtime with python-pyzmq update
- GNOME 42.3
- systemd 251.2
- GCC 12.1.1
- libvirt 8.5.0
- openSSL 1.1.1q (CVE-2022-2097, boo#1201099)
- Linux kernel: simpledrm has been re-enabled
- Perl 5.36.0
The queue is not very long, but that can change overnight. Currently, the things staged include:
- Linux kernel 5.18.11
- MicroOS Desktop “GNOME” reaches RC quality
- Pipewire 0.3.55 + patch: fixes an issue seen when switching TTY, when coming back sometimes has no active audio devices (boo#1201349)
I would like to report that since 20220711 I have to use nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to get my nvidia GTX 970 working under X11.
Today, I read that simpledrm has been re-enabled and tried to boot without nvidia-drm.modeset=1 but still is necessary, otherwise I got a black screen.
I do not know if simpledrm is related to nvidia-drm.modeset=1 , but I want to report that the former is still needed.
