What to do after installing openSUSE tumbleweed

After a proper installation of openSUSE tumbleweed in our team, there are still some extra adjustments to be made, as such this is not an official guide but it is based on the most demanded by the community.

That is why this information was gathered in a single article, it is not necessary to do everything described here, it is totally optional and I hope that something described here is of your use, without further ado.

Activate the network in openSUSE tumbleweed The first step with which I found was that I did not have the network activated, for some reason I did not have any network interface, so I do not doubt that someone else will succeed.

Do not be alarmed, it is something common according to what I read on the net.

This happens because the kernel module that is destined to work with our chipset does not load of correct tide, it can happen also during the installation.

The solution to this is simple. We must go to Network Devices we click on it. In my case if the module is detected, but it was not configured.

If it is not detected, you must find what chipset you have and what module of the Kernel it occupies and in the add button you enter the corresponding data to it. For my part I just had to click on edit and another window will open.

For my case I do not occupy a static IP, which was the configuration that was by default, I occupy a dynamic IP so I must select the dynamic address box and left as such.

In type of device I put it as "ethernet" if it is wired if it is wifi or another type you choose from the list that displays them there, and in the name of interface should be placed by default.

We only give in following and with this already it will be activated

Update the system.

After having activated the network, the first fundamental step is to update all the packages of the system, for this we must execute the following commands:

We open the console and as superuser we execute the following commands.

Update repositories

$ sudo zypper ref

Update packages:

$ sudo zypper up

installs all available security and bug fixes patches:

$ sudo zypper patch

abbreviation of de install-new-recommends

$ sudo zypper inr

And ready with it we will have our system up to date.

Activate the Packman repository

This is one of the most used repositories in openSUSE, but given the philosophy of the distro this repo is not activated by default.

In this we will find many tools and utilities for the system, including codecs and controllers.

To activate it, we must do it in the Software Repositories section and click on the "Add" button. Now, within the options that it displays, we select "Community Repositories"

Finally we give the following and select the Packman repository, click on accept and it will be added to the system, it will ask us if we want to accept import the trusted GnuPG key by clicking on the "Trust" button.

Install the private drivers ATI / AMD and NVIDIA

When we perform the installation of the system, by default the free drivers that exist for Linux are installed, although they are very good, it can not be denied that a better performance is obtained by installing those offered directly by the manufacturer.

For this if you activated the Packman repository, you should have noticed that you also appeared with the name of NVIDIA or ATI / AMD, you must activate it.



YaST> Software> Repositories> Add> Repositories of the community and mark the repository * Graphics Drivers and "Accept".

Finally, we should only install the appropriate packages to our card, since it is a very large section, I leave the link for ATI / AMD or for NVIDIA, where you can find the packages in one click one install or the terminal commands depending on your model.
