I'm thinking about using suse slowroll but I'm concerned about SUSE's wishy washy policy on free software. Are there any programs that aren't free software in the OSS repo?

Hi everybody.

I was trying to make the switch to Wayland, but this little problem is really keeping me in X11.

The display turns off, says that there is no signal/input, turns off again but after that it wakes up immediately.

This happens either by using the shortcut to turn the display off Ctrl + Alt + D or waiting for the 10 minutes specified in the Energy Saving options.

I've found this Bug 462695 at KDE.org where it says the problem is from openSUSE.

I've already disabled KScreen 2 in Background Services.

In X11 the display has no problems entering energy saving mode.

Does anybody have the same problem or any idea what it might be keeping the display from sleeping?

Just ran across this, and it's one of the better explanations as to why Flatpaks/Snaps/AppImages as a concept are a good thing, and are likely to be the future for EndUser applications.

tl:dr

SUSE != openSUSE

SUSE the corporation does not dictate nor direct the roadmap, goals, nor governance of the openSUSE Project.

They provide Infrastructure, some financial support, and Legal Coverage for the community project, and use the community contributions to create their SUSE Linux Products.

That's it. The project does have some restrictions placed upon it by this relationship (not being able to ship patent encumbered codecs, or things like the NVIDIA graphics drivers, for instance), but SUSE does not make the decisions for the openSUSE project in it's development direction, it's governance, or how it's community is managed.

This is a business decision by SUSE, the corporation, not a development decision to "rebase" the SUSE or openSUSE product on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

If you've not clicked on the link in the title, here it is again, from Board Member Doug DeMaio, who has put together a nice FAQ explaining this in more detail.

FAQ regarding SUSE announcement

A week of five openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots brought crucial updates for key packages like GNOME, MariaDB, transactional-update and others.

There is currently a massive outage of the openSUSE infrastructure.

I will update when I know more.

Can we please refrain from creating a bunch of posts about it?
