Hi,
There is a kernel update now to solve the DirtyCOW problem.
However, the current kernel doesn't work right for me (hibernate crashes), so I have to use the previous one (3.12.59-47-desktop for 13.1).
So I want to try the new kernel, but I want to avoid the previous-previous kernel from being purged out. I would like to lock 3.12.59-47 in place.
Ideas? I think I could config that I want 3 kernels kept (I know how to do that), but then we may get 4 and I would have to again increase the variable..
Maybe I need coffe. I think I knew this years ago...
Yes. In /etc/zypper/zypp.conf there is this: ## Comma separated list of kernel packages to keep installed in parallel, if the ## above multiversion variable is set. Packages can be specified as ## 2.6.32.12-0.7 - Exact version to keep ## latest - Keep kernel with the highest version number ## latest-N - Keep kernel with the Nth highest version number ## running - Keep the running kernel ## oldest - Keep kernel with the lowest version number (the GA kernel) ## oldest+N - Keep kernel with the Nth lowest version number ## ## Note: This entry is not evaluated by libzypp, but by the ## purge-kernels service (via /sbin/purge-kernels). -- 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
