Hi,

It is not as worrysome as it sounds and will be fixed in the next kernel updates.
Hello,
is there some release plan when this new kernel updates will be released for 13.1 13.2 42.1 ?
Regular readers will recall that I make use of the "Kernel Stable" repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ I'm on 13.2 but have been using that repository since was on 13.1 I'm currently running 4.7.2-2.g8a962cf-default Yes, its stable. I've not had problems with this repository other than updates to the BtrFS drivers aren't backward compatible to the original drivers. My file system has been updated and I can no longer run the 3.16 from the DVD. Maybe this matters to you; personally I feel that the updates to the BtrFS in terms of stability and performance are worthwhile. If you were running, say, Windows, and a kernel patch came out for Defence Against the Dark Arts and better performance and fixes to scheduling and Other Good Stuff, wouldn't you apply it? Even if it meant upgrading to W/10 from W/XP? If you are willing to run risks there are other repositories with later kernels and of course the bleeding edge made for today ones that are running modes that aren't tested, haven't been approved by Linus yes etc etc. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
