openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/28

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.
