[opensuse] Old kernel source
There's a kernel source update, that fails to install due to lack of disk space. I see a bunch of kernels in /usr/src. I suppose some of those can be deleted to make room? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Generally yes, but you may want to remove old kernels (and source) using Yast or at least zypper as that does a better job and may clear old images from /boot as well and catches dependencies. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That is my plan, but in the mean time I just moved the oldest one to another partition. Once I've made more room, I can move it back and "officially" delete it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I've been using the rpm -e command. While it's definitely removing something and freeing up disk space, the files in /usr/src remain, along with the various files in /boot. I'll have to remove them manually. I guess I can remove all files in /boot with the same number as the kernel-source packages. Software management in Yast doesn't appear to list all the installed kernel-source packages, only the latest. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah, but don't do that manually, there are utilities for that which also keep grub happy. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

rpm -q kernel-source kernel-default to see how many are installed. Check if the "purge-kernels.service" is enabled.... If you upgraded from older openSUSE the service might not be automatically enabled. systemctl status purge-kernels.service That service checks on boot that only two kernels are left (by default). If the above shows kernel-source or kernel-default installed more than 3 times, you an systemctl enable purge-kernels.service and start it once to avoid reboot. systemctl start purge-kernels.service Ciao, MArcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

5 source and 6 default. I had previously removed 1 source

and start it once to avoid reboot. systemctl start purge-kernels.service
That did the trick. There are now only 2 source & default and I've gone from a 99% full partition to 71%. tnx BTW, in the past, when a kernel was installed, it was necessary to reboot. That doesn't seem to be the case now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, given that this was a security update, wouldn't you want to? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, all updates are supposed to be security updates, but most aren't really. In general, if the kernel is updated, I would want to reboot immediately to make sure I don't get woken up in the middle of the night a week or two later when some scheduled maintenance falls over due to something having gone wrong in the update. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Exactly. And I thought opensuse used to give a warning to reboot after kernel updates in the past by a pop up. That doesn't happen lately. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It does here. If it doesn't happen, it typically is a packaging bug which you can report in Bugzilla. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

I've just patched a 42.2 installation, it finished up saying "Warning: One of installed patches requires reboot of your machine.

YaST does it at the start. I suppose the idea is not to stop the procedure once started. Like starting it, going for a coffe, and return to find it waiting for you to press OK on a dialog and nothing done. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
