Last night I did a zypper 'up' zypper downloaded TWO kernels. kernel-default and kernel-desktop. Now I;m havinf trouble with my nvidia drivers. I guess it's confused.
So which is the correct one for 12.1 ?
both but you probably should be using desktop
That's the question. The devs and docs don't seem to make clear whether default is the default kernel (apparently changing their/its minds about the meaning and applicability of "default" over the past few releases), what circumstances dictate which is preferred, or why more than one ever got installed.
how do/did you install/update your nvidia drivers, makes a difference
and you *do* need to update the nvidia drivers when you get a new kernel.
Thus the question, since he's stuck in runlevel 3 unless booting previous kernel with proprietary NVidia already installed; accordingly, xorg.conf was created consistent with NVidia custom high DPI operation and incompatible with FOSS drivers (nv/nouveau). He wants to keep only the preferred kernel installed, zypper rm the other, and install the proprietary driver only in the remaining new kernel. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
