Description Tamás Németh 2018-02-07 15:07:46 UTC
Mesa related packages from http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/ with the version number 18.0.0-187.1 made my notebook unusable! As soon as X.org started, the displays changed to empty and white. Please remove these packages ASAP! I could hardly revert to 18.0.0-185.1

I guess that's another duplicate of boo#1079465.

Comment 3 Michal Srb 2018-02-07 15:45:35 UTC
With 18.0.0-187.1 it should be already fixed, but you most likely have damaged shader in cache saved by 18.0.0-185.1.

Delete ~/.cache and /var/lib/sddm/.cache directories.

Probably not. The mentioned Mesa versions appeared just today in Tumbleweed-update. Anyway, Tumbleweed-update shouldn't contain "real" packages, only some test and meta packages, AFAIK! Putting these real packages into this repository was probably a mistake.

I mean putting these real packages into this repository was probably an accident. BTW, see #c4
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2018-02-07 15:55:58 UTC
Not sure what you would like to tell me. I can only ask you to give the latest Mesa packages with the fix a try and remove the cache manually as suggested in comment #3. Michal and me are pretty sure it's just a duplicate.
Comment 7 Tamás Németh 2018-02-07 15:57:32 UTC
OK, I'll try. One moment please...

OK, deleting the cache files solved the problem. However, I think the new packages probably should include some post/pre-install scripts to delete the packages, because this way they will render so much computers practically unusable.

I guess you're talking about removing *cache* files. I expect more harm than benefit when trying this. Seriously. And you cannot remove files in $HOME of a network drive anyway.

I think, you're right. Thank you for your effort.
