[opensuse-support] [Leap 42.3] - grub does not reflect latest installed kernels
by Robert Munteanu 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

Hi, I am running a Leap 42.3 (old, I know) VM and I noticed that I am not running the latest kernel. $ rpm -q kernel-default kernel-default-4.4.79-18.23.1.x86_64 kernel-default-4.4.180-102.1.x86_64 $ uname -r 4.4.79-18.23-default I tried to - reboot - remove one of the kernels (there were three entries previously) - run mkinitrd which did not solve the problem. Then I looked in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and I noted that the latest kernel listed is 4.4.79-18.23-default, and several no longer installed kernels are listed. I ran # grub2-mkconfig > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.alt and then checked for diffs $ diff -u /boot/grub2/grub.cfg{,.alt} Except for some font ordering changes it seems that now the kernel versions are correct so I replaced the file. My question then is - why did this happen and how can I prevent it from happening again?

[opensuse-support] What version do I have?
by Doug McGarrett 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

How do I determine what version (of OpenSUSE TW) I have installed? I only know the "version" I downloaded (20200702). These numbers are obviously NOT the version(s) being tossed around so casually in this group.

[opensuse-support] [Tumbleweed] How often should I update?
by Bob Williams 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

I've just switched from Leap to Tumbleweed on my Entroware laptop. So far so good. One question - how often should I run 'zypper dup'? Are updates announced anywhere?

[opensuse-support] adding missing apps via YAST or zypper, etc.
by Doug McGarrett 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

I need some instruction as to how to find out what's in the various "approved" repos that can be accessed from YAST or zypper or whatever is correct for the files. I am finding that certain very common apps appear to be missing from the latest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed--for instance, Artha. That's just one. I have a list of apps most of which ran on a year-old version of this program. They may be available, but only if I can find them! (I would prefer using "approved" files before looking elsewhere for the necessary rpm.) Can some kind soul point me in the right direction for finding what's hidden in the various files accessible to this system, please? --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-support] zypper "--no-allow-downgrade"?
by ksusup＠trixtar.org 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

>From 'man zypper': --allow-downgrade, --no-allow-downgrade Whether to allow downgrading installed resolvables. To me '--no-allow-downgrade' means that a downgrade is NOT to be considered an option But when I issue the following: zypper dup --no-allow-downgrade I get a couple of dozen 'problems' like: Problem: problem with installed package libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20200418+14e91cc-1.1.x86_64 with a list of possible solutions: Solution 1: downgrade of libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20200418+14e91cc-1.1.x86_64 to libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20190908+3abfab2-4.1.x86_64 Solution 2: keep obsolete libply-boot-client5-0.9.5+git20200418+14e91cc-1.1.x86_64 I'm a little confused... First of all how does a downgrade come up at all given the initial command switch? Seems to me that ignoring any repo package that requires a downgrade would be the zypper behavior. In the above case it would mean an automatic 'keeping' of the installed version. Second, how does a newer version become obsolete in favor of an older one? Which version is presently on the repo, was it backleveled to the 'downgrade' version??

So I removed it as a repo source with Yast and all went well. TW being a live or hot repo structure I wonder why the DVD was in the repo list at all, technically it becomes obsolete minutes after installation. Even if available the on-line repos would be prioritised I think. So the issue is resolved, remains the question of why the DVD's become unreadable, it's THE reason I had looked into trying to stop downgrades in the first place? >> >> It was there because you failed to remove it after installation. > > the only remove prompt I remember was to pull the DVD from the drive :-) There is no prompt.

But I do not see how that removal could happen automatically. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse-support] new install
by Doug McGarrett 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Well, I got there. This version of OS-TW--2020.0702--seems to be a little more obscure than the year-old one I had before the machine crashed. I don't even see a listing in the application Launcher for YAST, but when I find out how to get that and put its icon on the desktop, I need a tutorial as to how to find out what's in it and how to use it. F'rinstance: I'm told that Master PDF Editor exists in YAST somewhere-- how do I find it? As to other applications that I found fairly quickly in the year-old version, I'm looking for the Dolphin-like file-manager that runs in a root environment, (I don't remember what it was called,) for the Find Files app, and other things that don't come to mind at the moment. And yes, the nay-sayers that told me my partitioning would make Suse unhappy were correct. I let it do it's thing, and I haven't looked in gparted (how do I find that, also?) to see what it did. So thanx for the guidance along the way--this afternoon I bit the bullet and said "now is the time" even tho I was unable to do a Windows recovery--it didn't like my NTFS-formatted flash drives--two of them! So right now, I don't even nw if Windows is still there! --doug PS: How to I make Thunderbird single-space? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
