Oh, also, I had to create a file (I found an old thread that told how to do this) to make purge-kernels start working also. The status of the purge-kernels service kept saying that /boot/do_purge_kernels did not exist, so I had to run
touch /boot/do_purge_kernels
multiple times with each attempt to start the purge-kernels service, removing the rpms that were unnecessary using zypper, and finally it seems to have worked. You also have to verify that the service is "enabled":
systemctl status purge-kernels.service
so that it runs automatically when it should.
IF AND ONLY IF you want it to run automatically. I don't. I'm not saying you shouldn't for any particular "you", just that there may be reasons you want to have more control over the deletion of old kernels for a variety of reasons. Maybe you have a FS on a USB stick that was created with an older version of the FS. I hit this with XFS once. Maybe you want to keep the kernel that came with the distribution and haven't figured out how to do that in zypp.conf. Maybe a lot of things and want manual control. -- 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
