What do you call a collection of kernels? Please show rpm -qa | grep kernel-default -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

OK Patrick I used this approach because the small number of kernels. I checked /boot after and they were gone. As far as I know the modules stay with the system so all should be good, and there is nothing else. I thought I read here others were having problems with the tumbleweed purge-kernels......then I rebuilt the rpm database and ran mkconfig-grub2 -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to update the grub menu then updatedb.to update the locate files database......thanks for the help.......

zypper will not complete the operation until it tells you what it will do and waits for confirmation that this IS what you want to do.

Same here. Two snapshots which do not show in the snapper list. But how can I delete them. Snapper delete does not find them and my midnicht commander does not want to delete this kind of files.

"zypper purge-kernels" starts and ends after 5% and does not proceed from there.

It might re-run dracut, which can take a while. How long did you wait? Any other messages in the syslog? I have changed my /usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service to ExecStart=/usr/bin/zypper --non-interactive purge-kernels and it did successfully remove my old kernels on last boot....

It probably is /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock, but that should be mentioned in the error message, no? And you *do* have to run it as root/via sudo of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Well, this is your problem. But what "lock" are you talking about? It may be the rpm database lock, in which case the solution is to verify that *nothing* is running that can access the rpm database (no yast, no zypper, no packagekit manager, etc), and then delete the lock file. The timestamp on the file may give a hint. Or it can be a package lock, in which case you have to decide if you want to keep or delete it. You have not posted the exact error message you get, anyway... - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

    Hi,

        Still getting a collection of kernels.....can I just use zypper to remove them ??

I'm kinda surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet . . . In zypp.conf you can specify the number of kernels you want the system to keep (there are ~half-dozen variables you can use; the very easy syntax is explained in the file). You can also of course remove them with zypper but I have found it easier to just run YaST Software and select those I want deleted. --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
