The result will be a list of packages that do not belong to 15.6 and have to be inspected manually, and perhaps upgraded somehow.


Thanks Carlos, I'll give that a try in a bit.  But the upgrade did have the external repositories enabled.

When I do an upgrade, I always make sure after with that concoction.

I ran it and didn't find anything from 15.5, but there were some from 15.2!

Heh :-)

So the upgrade ran good.

Well, upgrade those, if possible. Sometimes they are not upgradeable and have to be deleted. But some are simply gpg keys which you can ignore.


I found another thread very much related to the current audio problem :
Leap 15.6 - no sound. Kernel module snd-sof-pci-intel-cnl cannot be loaded - English / Multimedia - openSUSE Forums

Seems to confirm the problem is with the kernel.  I checked my Asus system for sof-firmware and it was installed, so as others have noted this is not the core problem.  On the latest boot, my sound card is configured and I have sound, so like others have noted, the problem is intermittent and unpredictable.  Apparently there is already a bug report and a fix and someone mentions that the recommendation is to update the kernel.  Like me, another user 'fixed' the problem by not booting the latest 6.4.xxxs kernel, but instead booting an earlier 5.14.xxx kernel.

Does anyone have an idea when Leap 15.6 might have an  updated kernel which fixes this issue with these Intel sound hardware?
Also, how to prevent my 5.14.xxx kernel from being deleted or removed from the GRUB menu (as updates come in), while I wait for a new kernel?
Thanks, Gustav.
