[opensuse] Ack! Kernel Updates
<rant mode> So I guess I installed a kernel update yesterday. Suddenly, when trying to connect to work tonight, I was unable to (a) launch VirtualBox to load Vista (in order to use the Cisco VPN client within a VM) and then (b) failing that I was unable to launch the ciscovpn client. Both apparently needed kernel updates and both required about half an hour of checking to find where to do the bloody thing. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In my basket notepad, I keep a basket labeled "kernel updates" with one of the entries: Configuring kernel modules for an upgraded kernel Boot to runlevel 3, then for FGLRX sh /usr/bin/fglrx-kernel-build.sh VirtualBox sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup or sudo rcvboxdrv setup It has help cut down on my <rant> posts.... -- David C.

I bet. I actually finally did the same yesterday. I now have a text file containing the scripts I need to do in the commandline. (Too bad I have to drop to that still.) -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it. - Dee Hock -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
