** TODO Unset root password
Following instructions from [[https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Administer_with_sudo][the support database]]:
- with ~visudo~, uncomment the ~%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL~ line
- ~sudo usermod -aG wheel $USER~
- with ~visudo~, comment out ~Defaults targetpw~ and ~ALL ALL=(ALL)
ALL~
- YaST still insists on getting the root password…
*** Fix eager ~sudo passwd -d root~
- boot on install media
- start rescue mode
- locate partition with ~lsblk~
- ~mount $PARTITION /mnt/disk~
- ~cp /mnt/disk/etc/shadow- /mnt/disk/etc/shadow~

To make permanent, either:
- run the command with =--permanent=, and restart ~firewalld~ for
immediate application,
- run the command /a second time/ with =--permanent=,
- run ~firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent~.
** Fix broken Nvidia drivers after upgrade
Reinstall Nvidia kernel module:
#+begin_src sh
$ sudo zypper in -f nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default
#+end_src
** Load X-Box gamepad drivers automatically
- comment out any blacklisting of =xpad= in =/etc/modprobe.d=
(e.g. xboxdrv installs =/etc/modprobe.d/50-xpad.conf=)
- if installed, make sure the xboxdrv service is disabled
- ~sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/xpad.conf <<< xpad~
** Clear up some space for large upgrades
libc and compilers upgrades sometimes fail midway through because
there is no space left. An easy way to reclaim some space is to
delete some filesystem snapshots:
#+begin_src sh
$ sudo snapper list
$ sudo snapper delete $start-$end
#+end_src
** Add VLC codecs
#+begin_src sh
$ sudo zypper addrepo http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed VLC
$ sudo zypper modifyrepo --refresh VLC
$ sudo zypper install --from VLC ffmpeg vlc vlc-codecs
#+end_src
NB: there's a lot of prompting going on in that last command; maybe
=--allow-vendor-change= could help.
*** Upgrade woes
Sometimes this VLC repository will stop providing a package it used
to, e.g. because it now ships an upgraded version (and the version
number is somehow part of the package name).
In that case, we need to help =zypper= figure out what to do:
#+begin_src sh
$ sudo zypper dist-upgrade --auto-agree-with-licenses

Computing distribution upgrade...

Computing distribution upgrade...
# …
The following package is going to be downgraded:
libliveMedia97
The following package is going to change vendor:
libliveMedia97 VideoLAN Project (http://www.videolan.org) -> openSUSE
The following 6 NEW packages are going to be installed:
… libliveMedia102 …
# …
#+end_src
In this instance, I went looking at the [[http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed/x86_64/][VLC repository]] to figure out
what was going on; searching for "libliveMedia" revealed that the
repository now shipped libliveMedia102 and no longer included
libliveMedia97.
I went with solution 1 (switch to openSUSE's libliveMedia97), but
maybe solution 2 was the right one? E.g. maybe after "computing [the]
distribution upgrade", zypper would have realized that nobody needs
97 anymore, so it could be removed; could be I accidentally set 97 to
"manually installed" with solution 1?
🤷
