This time I will take advantage of you to share this openSUSE installation guide, to be specific to your Tumbleweed version. This version, in comparison to the others offered by openSUSE, is a Rolling Release version. In this case I decided to install openSUSE Tumbleweed because it is boring and tiresome to have to update a system every time there is a new version, that's why I like the systems more relaying. For those who do not know this model, I will tell you a little, the rolling reads this is always in continuous development as it refers to a software system in constant development, we will always have the latest but stable. Without more, we will start with the installation process, there are many people who think that the system is intended for advanced users, when it is not, for those who are new to Linux they should only do their part and have patience. Just a comment, if you are not completely sure of what you are going to do, I recommend you first use a virtual m...

Because it is not free software, the ATI driver can not be directly integrated into openSUSE by its license. Fortunately, openSUSE provides a very simple way to install the ATI driver using YaST. This version of the driver can not be used in openSUSE 12.3 and later because it uses X.Org 1.13, not supported by that driver, and ATI does not intend to make the modifications for it to work. Therefore, those who have a HD2XXX to HD4XXX series card can only use the free driver in openSUSE 12.3 and later. Applicability of the article This article is valid for the following graphics cards: AMD Radeon HD 4000 Series AMD Radeon HD 3000 Series AMD Radeon HD 2000 Series AMD Radeon HD Series AGP AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4000 Series AMD Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series AMD Mobility Radeon HD 2000 Series Installation using the 1-click install system 32 bits (i586) 64 bits (x86_64) You can not directly use 1-click install with openSUSE Tumbleweed. This is due to the absence of a clear...

This page explains the procedure to install the NVIDIA proprietary driver together with Bumblebee / bbswitch, which allows the use of NVIDIA's Optimus technology, in recent versions of openSUSE. Situation There is a laptop with Optimus technology that uses a separate NVIDIA card and another integrated low power (usually Intel). You want to run programs using the independent card but you do not want to have it activated all the time to reduce the power consumption. You may also want to completely disable the independent card in laptops that do not offer this option in your BIOS. Procedure Preparation Although the process is generally reliable, problems may appear after the installation and configuration process. Since openSUSE 13.2 uses the default Btrfs file system for the root partition, it is convenient to create a snapshot to have it as a recovery point if necessary. To do this, the following command is executed in a console: snapper create -d BeforeTheBumblebee Be...

This page applies to computers that do not use NVIDIA's Optimus technology. To install the driver on these computers see the NVIDIA Optimus page NVIDIA drivers can not be directly integrated into openSUSE because of their license. Fortunately for the new users, NVIDIA and openSUSE facilitate the installation of these drivers: NVIDIA creates RPMs for openSUSE and puts them in a repository. When talking about cards of the series 6, 7 or 8, reference is made to the old 6xxx, 7xxx and 8xxx. For example, the GeForce 7600GT. For all recent cards (GTX 650, for example) the driver indicated by GeForce 8 and later must be installed. Also, keep in mind that the 8xxx series is older than the 400. The numbers or names of the models are not significant. Another important fact is that the same card model can be supported by several versions of the driver. The important thing is that the package that is installed supports at least the model of card for which you want to install. As of vers...

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 detec...
