I'm running 9.0 on one of my laptops. It's a 300 MHz PII and 9.0 was much slower than 8.2 so my laptop was running a lot slower, but I could live with it. I just did an online update to get some bug fixes and it's made my laptop almost unusable - the load when nothing's happening is > 1.0. I think the problem is due to the sound module no longer loading - it's a Toshiba Tecra 8000 and sound's always been something of a challenge with it. Running top shows either a modprobe or a modprobe.old process running. I'd kill it, but the PID changes every time top updates.
Is there a way for me to undo the updates? It seems that I installed: libxml2-2.5.10-32.i586.patch.rpm pwlib-1.5.2-192.i586.patch.rpm openssl-0.9.7b-133.i586.patch.rpm k_deflt-2.4.21-199.i586.rpm kernel-source-2.4.21-199.i586.rpm openssh-3.7.1p2-113.i586.patch.rpm
Or should I just re-install 9.0 and stop doing the security updates?
Thanks, Steve As a user who had SuSE's security/recommended updates destroy the external modem capability no less than seven times --on two different machines-- I would suggest that the quickest way is just to reinstall & forget any updates. Since I did that, I have had relatively few problems (except for
