Yes, Printer setup on openSUSE is still a clusterfuck, for reasons. You're best off in openSUSE KDE to just point your webbrowser at http://localhost:631 and log directly into CUPS and setup your printers that way.

If you want all your web video and whatnot to work, you need to install the codecs from Packman, in their entirety, or use a flatpak'd web browser. openSUSE won't ship patent encumbered codecs from the official repositories.

Unless you really know what you're doing, with Leap, or Tumbleweed, stick with the OSS and non-OSS repos provided. They are the ones that have been through the openQA process, and are officially "supported". If you enable a bunch of home: devel: or other repositories, just assume that they're unstable, and use at your own risk. If you're looking at a repository on OBS, and don't see openSUSE_Tumbleweed as one of the build targets, then forcing the install with a Leap or SLE package, may, or may not break things.

Regarding zypper ref and autorefresh, I can't recall exactly, but there is the chance that just running zypper dup and hoping that it refreshes everything on it's own, with non-standard repositories may fail, which can lead to some weird edgecases.

Just in general, you're going to want to run zypper ref && zypper dup (not the other way round) As far as YaST being targetted more at Leap than Tumbleweed, you're exactly right. And there's a reason that we don't ship it with newer flavours of the distribution.

Well none of that sounds like sketchy behavior on the part of the Management Company.

Not at all.

The change shown in the upstream bug has been made in the openSUSE Tumbleweed Packages, months ago. Are you using Leap, or Tumbleweed?

edit:
I actually read the whole post. Since you're on Tumbleweed, this is indeed a bug, please file one at bugzilla.opensuse.org

I don't care about beeper one way or another, but that bloody image with the post, it needs to die in a fire.

I will never claim they are authentic, or even great, but I will destroy the 2 for a buck tacos.

Packman is generally stable, and the only way to get the patent encumbered codecs for full AudioVideo decoding for Leap or Tumbleweed.

That's XMMP different thing =P

It's still around. I'm using it right now, in fact. Makes for a pretty damn good phone service as well, in conjunction with JMP

Uh. You just described Aeon and Kalpa.

Because the Rich are gonna Rich?

I mean, that's sort of what xdg is intended to accomplish, with making $HOME/.config be the place, but it's kind of up to the individual software developers to comply. (Yes, I know, this doesn't really apply to Windows/Mac OS) But yeah, it would really be nice if configs/config locations were even remotely standardized.

Negative. If the seat is that untrustworthy, I'll just find a different toilet.
