Can one start that with any TW iso or only some specific one?

With any, I heard. But don't ask me :-)

Hi
Yes, then you essentially rollback by the looks when adding the repos,
see here;

I took two runs at it. First I upgraded my Leap installation to TW and
then did the Slowroll sidetstep, the result was a disater. Then I
installed the latest clean TW and slid THAT over to a slowroll, that's
what I'm using now.

There are a few loose ends, like

- I don't know how to get LibreWolf.x86_64.AppImage onto the kde panel
(it launches if I click it)

- Grub still lists the the system as a Tumbleweed-Slowroll, I thought TW
was gonna be TW and Slowroll just Slowroll

- Yast Software manager lists upgrades even though the only repos are
roller repos (I thought upgrades would be few and far between, I guess
this is being worked out, I'm using only zypper dup as suggested, yast
only for installs/removals)

BUT other than that it's working just fine!

All I need now is to find a logo, a barrel of monkeys trying to roll
uphill? (still using my Leap wallpaper Loading Image...)

as soon as I do zypper dup, zypper repopulates /etc/zypp/repos.d

which I had cleared with rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/*


ls /etc/zypp/repos.d
base-non-oss.repo base-src-oss.repo packman.repo
base-oss.repo h264.repo update.repo

#zypper dup (wait, then break w. Cntrl-C)


# ls /etc/zypp/repos.d
base-non-oss.repo openSUSE:repo-oss-debug.repo
base-oss.repo openSUSE:repo-oss.repo
base-src-oss.repo openSUSE:repo-oss-source.repo
h264.repo openSUSE:update-tumbleweed.repo
NVIDIA:repo-non-free.repo packman.repo

Wait, you intentionally destroyed your system?

as per the link provided above by Malcolm:

------------------------------------
The same applies when switching from Leap or an older Tumbleweed
snapshot to Slowroll.

rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/*

zypper ar --refresh

base-oss
zypper ar --refresh

--------------------------------------

I think the idea was to constrain source repos to the ones shown, if so
then it isn't working. So far I've watched the folder repopulate and
just aborted zypper dup ..pending clarification.

Been @ it for about 2 weeks now, so far not bad

Here's my SlowRoller watermark desktop, the weird wheel
hub is the originial slow-roller invented 6000 years ago
which already had the turning axle we use today :-)

Would like to know where to set the KDE spashma clock date font
independently from any other font?
