EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed LXQt 2.2.0-1.1 64 bit UEFI Linux Live System with Refracta Snapshot :: Build 250515

 

EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is a rolling distribution. I.e. no need for new installations. Just run the command sudo zypper dup and you will always get the latest stable packages/kernels. The ISO file is of 3070 MB. The LXQt version will thus run very fast from a DVD or a USB stick. Even in VirtualBox/VMware directly from the ISO file.

ABOUT Tumbleweed
With Tumbleweed you don't have to take difficult decisions about things you value, either freedom or safety, either control or security, technology or stability -- Tumbleweed lets you have your cake and eat it too. READ MORE...

NOTE ABOUT EXTON OpSuS Deepin from 240807
The Deepin DE is no longer maintained by openSUSE due to packaging policy violations and various security issues. I have therefore deleted the ISO file from 240807, which used Deepin 20.6 as Desktop Environment.

ABOUT EXTON OpSuS for PC's
EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed with LXQt 2.2.0-1.1 uses kernel 6.14.6-amd64-exton. Installed programs: Among many other programs, Firefox, NetworkManager, GParted and VLC . You'll run the system as the normal user user. The password for user is live. Root's password is root. EXTON OpSuS can easily be installed to hard drive (of those who so desire). For that you shall use Refracta Installer. All packages have been updated to the latest available version as of May 15, 2025.
NOTE1
:  When the boot process is ready you will end up at SDDM login screen. You can only log in to the LXQt Desktop as user with password live. You will see this first screen when logged in to LXQt.
NOTE2: If you want to run the system as root you shall press Ctrl Alt F1 simultaneously to leave X. Log in as root with password root. Then run the command startx. You will then enter the LXQt 2.2.0 Desktop. When logged in as root you won't have sound. Watch a screenshot of the Desktop for root.
NOTE3: Version 250515 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run it on my 17 years old laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi.
NOTE4: Use Refracta Snapshot to build your very own version of EXTON OpSuS/openSUSE.

The system language is English

Installation of EXTON OpSuS from a USB stick (or DVD) to hard drive
Both EXTON OpSuS versions use Refracta Installer. I could not make Calamares Installer work like in previous versions of EXTON OpSuS. Watch a screenshot when Refracta Installer has started...

Network connections in EXTON OpSuS
Use Yast2. To find out the names of your Network Interfaces run the command iwconfig. If you use a wired connection you will be connected automatically.

Wireless connections
Use YaST Control Center - screenshot. Or just click on the NetworkManager-applet on the panel to the right and choose your Network. Watch this screenshot or this one as regards Build 250515. You may have to edit /etc/resolv.conf to get connected to the Internet. Add nameserver 8.8.8.8 on the last line.

How to enable SWAP
If you use EXTON OpSuS on a computer with low RAM you may want to use a SWAP partition. Enable it with this command (example):
sudo swapon /dev/sda6 - watch this screenshot...

Using Samba
You can connect to your Windows computers in your Home Network using this command as root: smbclient \\\\192.168.0.38\\LINUX -U arne
NOTE1: This is an example of course. LINUX is my shared folder on one of my computers. arne is my login name on my Windows computer. You'll find your correct IP-address by running the command ipconfig on your Windows computer. Watch a screenshot when the Samba command is running. You can transfer files between your computers using the command get and put.
NOTE2: In Build 250515 you can use the file manager PCManFM for your Samba connections. Connect to one of your computers in your home network with (example) smb://192.168.0.38 - screenshot...

Is EXTON OpSuS LXQt Build 250515 unique?
If you have a look at openSUSE's official Download site you can see that there is no live LXQt version available. EXTON OpSuS Build 250515 is most certainly UNIQUE in one respect. There is no other distro based on openSUSE containing Refracta Snapshot!
