And of course it requires full kernel-source that is not needed normally and that I do not have.
ah, ok. i have full kernel source package installed.
so, what you are saying is, that when having installed these packages: kernel-default-4.8.7-2.1.g91441e5.x86_64 kernel-default-devel-4.8.7-2.1.g91441e5.x86_64 kernel-devel-4.8.7-2.1.g91441e5.noarch kernel-macros-4.8.7-2.1.g91441e5.noarch
it is simply not necessary to: * install also kernel-source-4.8.7-2.1.g91441e5.noarch * do a "make prepare" and "make modules_prepare" after kernel update
to be able to compile kernel modules like nvidia, vmware, wl and displaylink?
you are right! today i updated kernel to 4.8.8 and deleted kernel-source package. after update, i DID NOT my usual "make prepare" stuff, but simply compiled all the needed kernel modules (nvidia, wl, displaylink, vmawre), and it worked! this is great. it saves me drive-space (kernel-source package is huge!) and time.. -- Best Regards | Freundliche Grüße | Cordialement | Cordiali Saluti | *DI Rainer Klier* Research & Development, Technical Sales Consultant Namirial GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
