[01-29-20 18:43]: Hi,
Still getting a collection of kernels.....can I just use zypper to remove them ?? certainly, or rpm -e kernel-default-5.4.10-1.1.x86_64
OK Patrick I used this approach because the small number of kernels. I checked /boot after and they were gone. As far as I know the modules stay with the system so all should be good, and there is nothing else. I thought I read here others were having problems with the tumbleweed purge-kernels......then I rebuilt the rpm database and ran mkconfig-grub2 -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to update the grub menu then updatedb.to update the locate files database......thanks for the help.......
or systemctl start purge-kernels.service
Failed to start purge-kernels.service: Unit purge-kernels.service not found
(but you must have the number of kernels you want to retain set or it will remove all but present and last)
or you could manually delete them provided you know which and after you update the rpmdb rpm --rebuilddb right IF, IF, IF you are confident in your approach, but would be much safer to: zypper -v rm -u vmlinuz-5.4.8 vmlinuz-5.4.10 vmlinuz-5.4.11
**PROVIDED** you are confident ...
zypper will not complete the operation until it tells you what it will do and waits for confirmation that this IS what you want to do.
