openSUSE Tumbleweed Part 1

Last night, I had an huge itching to tinker around, and decided to upgrade Mei-chan to Tumbleweed, seeing that she was already on. After upgrading, X broke, so I went and downgraded the packages back to 13.1. The downgrade was pretty much fine, however, the text decided to become boxes with any GNOME 3 window, which was not exactly good (luckily text inside Firefox was fine, and there wasn't any problems with the system itself).


First time in a long time that I had to ask for help, since I wasn't able to find it anywhere (especially with how tired I was), and I got an answer that the pango cache just needed to be updated with either of the commands:

sudo pango-querymodules --update-cache
sudo pango-querymodules-64 --update-cache

It worked, and I was saved the hassle of having to reinstall (or upgrade). I'm slightly upset that I can't use Tumbleweed, but there are a couple rolling distros I can try when I feel like it.

Things I've learned:

• Definitely test in a testing environment to avoid complications.
• I can't use Tumbleweed. ☹
• Downgrading causes the textual glitch.
• Update pango's cache when the above happens.
