Leap 15.4 Offers New Features, Familiar Stability
CA / CS / ES / FR / JA / NL / PT-BR / SV / ZH-CN / ZH-TW
NUREMBERG, Germany – The next minor release of openSUSE Leap 15 is now available on get.opensuse.org for users, professionals, hobbyists and developers who want to update to the latest version.
Leap 15.4 is a feature release version and provides a significant amount of updates from previous Leap 15.x versions along with new offerings.
“Leap 15.4 continues to provide a familiar rock-hard release and delivers stable open-source software for desktops, servers, containers and virtualized workloads,” said Max Lin, a member of the release team. “Leap is a hard distribution to ignore for technology specialists; security fixes, new technologies and updated packages give professionals a well engineered community release that is identical to its enterprise twin. And it offers an enormous amount community software.”
As with the previous Leap version, users can migrate to SUSE Linux Enterprise and leave workloads running as normal. This release further enhances migration proficiency because the YaST team developed a simplified migration tool for migrations to SLE.
Containers and workloads transition seamlessly, and the container story for Leap has expanded with a new offering of Leap Micro.
New to Leap 15.4 is Leap Micro 5.2. Leap Micro is a modern lightweight operating system that is immutable and ideal for host-container and virtualized workloads. Leap Micro is well suited for decentralized, computing environments, edge uses and embedded/IoT deployments. Developers and professionals can build and scale systems for uses in aerospace, telecommunications, automotive, defense, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing and robotics. Leap Micro provides automated administration and patching. One of the packages related to Leap Micro for developers is Podman. Podman gives developers options to run their applications with Podman in production and the upgraded 3.4.2 version brings new pods support for init containers, which are containers that run before the rest of the pod starts.
Large development teams gain added value with openSUSE Leap 15.4 and Leap Micro 5.2 since workloads can be lifted and shifted to SUSE Linux Enterprise Linux 15 SP4 or SLE Micro for extended maintenance and favourable version migration advantages.
This version of Leap simplifies multimedia codec installation. Progress has been made to bring Cisco’s openh264 video codecs to users via a repository present by default on the system, which will come in a maintenance update. The release not only gains multimedia improvements; it gains open-source driver support. Besides AMD’s and Intel’s continual open-source Linux graphics drivers commitment, users of modern NVIDIA GPUs will benefit from it signing firmware images for the latest-generation GeForce 30 series GPUs.
Another new package to Leap 15.4 is Dell’s sassist. The package helps with troubleshooting/debugging issues with Dell PowerEdge Server and runs on the Linux Operating System to work with Dell integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) enabling log and configuration collection.
Those using Leap for server deployments will find a few notable changes. These changes include the deprecation of Python 2, libvirt LXC containers, and OpenLDAP server. The 389 Directory Server is the primary LDAP server, which replaces the OpenLDAP server.
PHP 8.1.0 has been added and brings many improvements. These include Enumerations, readonly properties, fsync, and many others. There’s also a 3.5 percent speedup with PHP 8.1.0 for WordPress and the new PHP version provides a Just-In-Time backend for ARM64 along with other JIT improvements and fixes. A couple other notable changes for Leap is that Wayland now works with the latest NVIDIA proprietary driver and LUKS2 is supported in the YaST Partitioner, but it has to be explicitly enabled.
Leap has a vast selection for desktop users and has a tradition of offering Long-Term Support versions of several packages; this community release does not disappoint either. Leap’s new minor version will offer KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS, on top of Qt 5.15 LTS with the “KDE Qt 5 Patch collection” on top.
“To transition to great future technologies like Qt 6, we need to have the peace of mind that our current users are catered for,” said KDE e.V. President Aleix Pol in an annoucement about Qt 5 patch collection. “With this patch collection we gain the flexibility we need to stabilize the status quo. This way we can continue collaborating with Qt and deliver great solutions for our users.”
Several other deliberately selected packages are aimed at the release’s stability and development purposes, including Qt6.
There are some newer desktop environments like Plasma 5.24, GNOME 41, Enlightenment 0.25 and MATE 1.26. These desktops will offer newer features, though not all desktops in the release will gain new features. Leap 15.4 will keep Xfce 4.16, which was updated in the Leap 15.3 release. Deepin 20.3 is initial bringing in Leap 15.4.
Leap 15.4 comes with KDE Frameworks 5.90.0, which made changes to several packages including Baloo, Breeze Icons, KConfig, KIO, Kirigami, KWayland, Oxygen Icons and more. This Leap version also includes KDE Gear 21.12.2; the Gear applications includes improvements to the music player Elisa, search tags for the file manager Dolphin and provides faster editing with KDE’s advanced video-editing application Kdenlive.
Versatile application framework Qt 5.15.2 will be upgraded; it’s 5.12.7 version has been in the distribution unchanged since Leap 15.2. This release brings in features of three minor releases and comes with a fully supported Qt Quick 3D.
The core of the system has received numerous updates. This Leap release updates systemd to version 249, which has plenty of changes to enhance user experience. The new system components can now correctly identify Amazon EC2 environments, and various improvements were made for the DHCP server network management protocol. A new udev hardware database has been added for FireWire devices and another notable change in the version is whole-file-system A/B updates where new operating system versions are dropped into partitions whose label is then updated with a matching version identifier. Leap provides the most up to date compiler set. The LLVM Compiler 13.0 version has some major new features and Improvements to Clang’s diagnostics. There are about a handful of new compiler flags.
The DNF stack was updated to version 4.10.0 and adds new features. Added support for autodetecting and excluding packages from being installed due to weak dependencies gives the package manager new quality.
Leap isn’t just for the savvy system administrator or IT professional. Leap gives musicians software to enhance the sound, recording and streaming quality of their performance. Virtual Studio Technology with packages like PipeWire, Wireplumber and synthesizer LV2 take instruments and lyrics to a new level. Professional content creators and website designers can leverage 3D modelling tools like Blender, video editor Kdenlive and image-editing software like Krita to turn their vision into reality.
Users who want specific packages in the next version of Leap 15.5 are encouraged to reach out to the release team. If there are community efforts that can be put forth to maintain certain packages, some packages might be able to be upgraded in the next release. Leap 15.5 is not expected to be a feature release and should have many of the same version packages that are in Leap 15.4. The successor to Leap 15 is likely to come soon after the release of Leap 15.5.

The lie of 'Just a Little More'
Most people I talked to about buying expensive products are aware of “the law of diminishing returns”. When you buy a product, the more you pay for it the less extra quality you get for the extra spending. However, not many people recognize that the same can be said of most human activities. It is a lie that “just a little more effort” will lift you from above average to the top, as the law of diminishing returns hits even harder. You can have all the money in the world, but time - that is limited.
The law of diminishing returns
I am a HiFi maniac, so I am affected greatly by this law. I can choose to buy a pair of headphones for $20, $200, or for over $2000. There is probably a 2-3x quality increase in sound between the $20 and $200 headphones. The difference in quality is even less noticeable from $200 to $2000. I try to convince myself that my Sony WH 1000XM3 or my Sennheiser HD300Pro are good enough. They are more expensive and of better quality, than what most people use around me. I am happy with them, but unfortunately, I can hear the difference between them and the $1000+ category. Thankfully, I am not this picky when it comes to many of my other interests. :-)
Just a little more
Photography. Hiking. Listening to music. Biking. Playing the synth. Reading. Writing. Teaching. Traveling. Coding. This is just a partial list of what I love to do in my free time. And I love to do all of these. It effects my mood if any of these are missing for a longer time.
Taking photos is fun. I love flowers and nature. I love to show people how beautiful our World is. I do not like taking photos of people, but occasionally, I do that as well. People love the results. They try to convince me to take photos at events. They tell me, that my photos are fantastic, that I am talented, and with a bit more effort I could be a real artist. It took me the past forty years to get to this level and I would need to practice a lot more, spend my time reading books and going to a years long photography training. I love photography, but not in place of all my other activities.

Coding is a fantastic brain exercise. I coded a lot during my university years. Simulations, measurement automation, data analytics. Even now, I write code occasionally. Many of my technical blogs have sample code in Python for sudo and syslog-ng. I even wrote some simple code to collect air humidity data on a Raspberry Pi. However, to be able to develop production-ready code, I would need to do more coding…
I started my personal blog, because I love writing. I am often told, that I should write more. Here, on my personal blog, to opensource.com, to the FreeBSD Journal, and elsewhere. But I do not feel pressured to write every day, or on a weekly basis.
Progress requires time.
Time
I learned writing at a major Hungarian magazine of the time. I spent there eight hours a week + travel + writing my home work. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed almost every moment of it. My colleagues and readers could feel the improvement. However, it also meant that each week, I spent over 15 hours on improving my writing skills. I did this for a whole year. Most of this time was taken away from other activities. I learned the hard way that 24 hour days are not enough for everything.
When it comes to activities, “just a little more” means that you have to make a tough choice about how you manage your time. Of course, it can be a worthy sacrifice, like my year-long writing course. However, it is better to think twice before falling for the “just a little more” suggestion, no matter how tempting it sounds when someone praises you.

NVIDIA Open GPU kernel modules: openSUSE/SLE packages available
Important Notice
With my new blogpost Installation of NVIDIA drivers on openSUSE and SLE this article here became more or less obsolete. So it is highly recommended to read my new article there instead.
Introduction
On May 19, 2022 NVIDIA made a release of their Open GPU kernel modules for their newer GPU platforms (Turing and newer) with Risc-V system processor. Meanwhile we have packages available in our currently supported openSUSE/SLE distributions. If you want to use these you need to install nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed package.
Installation
Installation instructions since Leap 15.6/SLE15-SP6 and Tumbleweed:
# will install needed packages

Drascula: Improving your Spanish language skills by playing an Adventure Game
Recently I was packaging one of the Retro freeware games, which are supported by the ScummVm project. It’s called Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back and the story is some kind of strange mixture between Dracula and Frankenstein.

Language Support
When testing the language support I noticed, that it has been originally developed by a company in Spain called Alcachofa Soft S.L., so additional to English it also includes speech in Spanish. Subtitles are available in English, German , French, Italian and Spanish. Therefore I decided to try improving my Spanish language skills and began to play this Adventure. And although the game is from 1996 I enjoyed it a lot!
I figured out that if you press SPACE while a character is speaking, the sentence will be interrupted (apart from the voice part). And by pressing SPACE again the game continues. Which was rather useful for me in order to have more time for reading and understanding the subtitles. Press F7/F10 to load/save the game.
Installation
You can find drascula and scummvm packages in the games repository of the openSUSE Build Service.
Installation instructions for openSUSE Leap:
# if you don't have added the 'games' repository yet
# Leap 15.4
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Leap_15.4/ games
# Leap 15.5
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Leap_15.5/ games
# will install 'scummvm' package and other dependancies automatically
zypper in drasculaThen just run the command drascula, select your language (via xmessage - isn’t this retro?) and enjoy!
Need help?
And in case you struggle - Walkthroughs are available on Youtube - also in Spanish. :-)
Running on Windows, MacOS, etc.
In case you’re using Windows, MacOS, etc. There are precompiled executables of the ScummVM program availabe for download on the ScummVM Download Page, which you can easily install on your machine. Don’t forget to download also the Drascula datafiles. You will need: Freeware Version (English), Freeware Version (Music Adon, OGG format) and Freeware Version (Updated Spanish, German, French and Italian AddOn). Extract all of them in your favorite directory (readme.txt can be overriden), then run scummvm, press Add Game and Choose the directory, into which you installed the Drascula datafiles right before. Now select Graphics, enable Override global graphic setting, set Scaler to HQ and 3x and enable Fullscreen mode. Now select Audio, enable Override global audio setting and set Text and speech to Both. Press Ok. Then press Start to start the game. Have fun!
Using opensource NVIDIA module on desktops

We will see in this link in Brazilian Portuguese, how to install the NVIDIA opensource kernel module, however version 515.48.07, GeForce and Workstation support is still considered alpha quality. So to force the installation, we must use the parameter NVreg_OpenRmEnableUnsupportedGpus as we will see in blog Assunto Nerd from Brazil.
openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2022/21 & 22
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Last week, I skipped the review as over here, Thursday was a holiday and I decided to take Friday off as well and make for a long weekend (for a $random value of ‘off’ as it turned out). In total, Tumbleweed has seen 13 snapshots since the last review, which means it was ‘almost daily’ with one gap {0519..0601, except for 0529 – and 0526 was published, but never made it to the mirrors due to a config error)
Those 13 snapshots brought you these changes:
- LLVM 14.0.4
- Virtualbox preparation for upcoming Kernel 5.18
- gnutls 3.7.6
- GNOME 42.2
- systemd 250.6
- Perl 5.34.1
- Mozilla Firefox 100.0.2
- Linux kernel 5.17.9
- Mesa 22.1.0
- Pulseaudio 16.0
- Buldflag FORTIFY_SOURCE=3
Last Friday, we had some issues with qemu, which would not start up anymore, reporting buffer overflows. The package had a patch added, and openQA has reported on that issue. I wrongly connected the two things (i.e patch causing the buffer overflows). So I reverted qemu in Factory and published that reverted into the Update channel, and giving those openQA fails a pass. Turned out this was wrong and Friday was spent together with Dario and a lot of testers to get to the actual root of the problem and give you a working qemu package back as quickly as possible. Apologies for the trouble caused there.
For the future, we are having a few things in Staging already again and will try to keep up with a good cadence of snapshots. The most interesting changes being worked on are:
- Linux kernel 5.18.1 (Snapshot 0602+)
- Mozilla Firefox 101
- Mesa 22.1.1
- KDE Plasma 5.25 (beta staged, release planned for mid-June)
- SELinux 3.4
- Python 3.10 as the default interpreter
Accessibility repositories are now merged
Over the past week I worked on merging the atk and at-spi2-atk repositories into at-spi2-core. A quick reminder of what they do:
-
at-spi2-core: Has the XML definitions of the DBus interfaces for accessibility — what lets a random widget identify itself as having a Button role, or what lets a random text field to expose its current text contents to a screen reader. Also has the "registry daemon", which is the daemon that multiplexes applications to screen readers or other accessibility technologies. Also has thelibatspilibrary, which is a hand-written binding to the DBus interfaces, and which is used by... -
at-spi2-atk: Translates the ATK API into calls tolibatspi, to effectively make ATK talk DBus to the registry daemon. This is because... -
atk: is mostly just a bunch of GObject-based interfaces that programs can implement to make themselves accessible. GTK3, LibreOffice, and Mozilla use it. They haven't yet done like GTK4 or Qt5, which use the DBus interfaces directly and thus avoid a lot of wrappers and conversions.
Why merge the repositories?
at-spi2-core's DBus interfaces, the way the registry daemon works, atk's interfaces and their glue in at-spi2-atk via libatspi... all of these are tightly coupled. You can't make a change in the libatspi API without changing at-spi2-atk, and a change in the DBus interfaces really has to ripple down to everything, but keeping things as separate repositories makes it hard to keep them in sync.
I am still in the process of learning how the accessibility code works, and my strategy to learn a code base, besides reading code while taking notes, is to do a little exploratory refactoring.
However, when I did a little refactoring of bit of at-spi2-core's code, the tests that would let me see if that refactoring is correct were in another repository! This is old code, written before unit tests in C were doable in a convenient fashion, so it would take a lot more refactoring to get it to a unit-testable state. I need end-to-end tests instead...
... and it is at-spi2-atk that has the end-to-end tests for all the accessibility middleware, not at-spi2-core, which is the module I was working on. At-spi2-atk is the repository that has tests like this:
- Create a mock accessible application ("my_app").
- Create a mock accessibility technology ("my_screen_reader").
- See if the things transferred from the first one to the second one make sense, thus testing the middleware.
By merging the three repositories, and adding a code coverage report for the test suite, we can add a test, change some code, look at the coverage report, and see if the test really exercised the code that we changed.
Changes for distributions
Please see the announcement on discourse.gnome.org.
That coverage report is not accessible!
Indeed, it is pretty terrible. Lcov's genhtml tool creates a giant
<pre>, with things like the execution count for each line just
delimited with a <span>. Example of lcov's HTML.
(Librsvg's coverage report is pretty terrible as well; grcov's HTML
output is a bunch of color-coded <div>. Example of grcov's HTML.)
Does anyone know code coverage tools that generate accessible output?
Work Groups for ALP Give Updates
Members of SUSE and openSUSE have deleloped several Work Groups (WG) to discuss the formation of the Adaptable Linux Platform. Below readers can see the latest brief from the various WGs involved in the open-source project.
The System Management WG has been progressing with the branding of Cockpit. They have been experimenting with attempts to containerize it; though outside of a possible chance to use wormholing, it doesn’t look promising. They do continue to add functionality to YaST in cointainers at a good pace.
The ALP Virtualization team has taken some technical decisions regarding support, etc. In their first technical meetings regarding VMs inside of containers, some work was done looking for the best approach and blocking points.
In the Build Service Next-Generation WG, the initial feedback shows little interest in a git-based packaging approach. Software as a Service options via git hosting continue to be very expensive, though on-premises options should be considered. A self-hosted Gitea appears to be the best option so far, while the current discussions for Large-File-Storing-in-Git have been paused at this time.
The Components delivery & lifecycle WG’s goal is to find an alternative way to ship packages with different lifecycles. With this in mind, the group has been gathering input on RHEL’s modularity, in order to compare and learn what they can from them.
The Confidential Computing WG has been collecting information to determine where they want to be in the long term, and what can be achieved in a given period of time. This allows them to establish a timeline within Confidential Computing to support upstream projects in their endeavors.
The Container Management Frontend WG strongly favors Podman for it’s systemd integration, potentialy allowing for services-as-containers and RPM-delivered services. Docker may be required as well, along with Rancher and nerdctl/containerd embedded with their products. The group would appreciate feedback on the technology decision from other WGs, as so far there was none.
The Container Easy Deployment and Installation WG has been discussing problem space and preliminary research into quadlet and systemd portable services, etc.
The Community WG has drafted a communications plan and identified topics that are relevant to the current state of the project. Weekly meetings have been established and publish minutes are available at https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting. Group encourages all other WG to make public updates on their own, and recomemends YaST team as a role model.
The Deployment/Management Framework WG is looking to identify and decide on which configuration and management tool will be the next generation. The two current options looking best to meet customers needs and integrate into the rest of SUSE’s products look to be SALT and Ansible.
The Desktop WG is looking into a remote-Wayland-based remote desktop with a focus on a headless GNOME solution. Other discussions are focused on lightweight windows managers and desktops without Xorg, containerizing the GNOME core stack, and Nvidia open source kernel modules in Wayland.
The Documentation WG is starting to update the look and feel of the documentation pages for better navigation.
The Data Processing Unit (DPU) Integration team is looking into ongoing business and technical discussions with Dell.
Full-disk encryption experts are looking to use LUKS2 for TPM-auto unlocking (on systems which support it) and to design simple and secure, yet easy to use encrypted systems.
The High Performance Computing WG is participating in multiple community projects to develop and enhance a state-of-the-art deployment systems.
The Installation and Deployment WG is discussing an evolution of the traditional installer, including modularity to make it more useful. There may also be an option to create customized images on the fly for deployment.
The Kernel and Live Patching team is currently busy with the launch of Userspace Live Patching.
Kernel Performance Testing has kicked off with a focus on defining the scope and setup during biweekly calls and a mailing list for furthing discussions.
Qualiting Engineering assigned representatives to most other workgroups and planned a kicked off a meeting and created a slack channel.
Security Framework WG has benn constitued and held a kick off call. Discussions are being held on how to make a smooth switch from AppArmor to SELinux and how to prepare for it.
The Telemetry WG has been collecting data needed to summarize requirements to measure subscriptions.
There will be several discussions at the openSUSE Conference the next couple days. People interested in ALP news and WGs can register for the conference and watch the discussions online.
