This could be a case of superbly bad timing. At the same time I managed to enter and run the update, the terminal output showed I have run out of diskspace. A quick check showed I had ran out of inode space, probably because all of the old kernels are still installed!
a) Enable and call purge-kernels.service (part of the dracut package) Is the service enabled? systemctl is-enabled purge-kernels.service If not enabled enable it: systemctl enable purge-kernels.service Start purge-kernels service now systemctl start purge-kernels.service This is done if /boot/do_purge_kernels exists. By default the running and most current kernel are kept installed (ConditionPathExists in the purge-kernels.service file). b) check if your / fs isn't full full due to snapshots This might happen if it is on btrfs and snapper is active. btrfs filesystem df / or in more detail btrfs filesystem usage /
I had assumed Tumbleweed would automatically remove old kernels but that appears to not be the case.
Tumbleweed and openSUSE in general do this. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
