[11-21-13 12:26]: [...] Today, I did the upgrade on my Thinkpad running Tumbleweed, which is currently based on 13.1. Some repo adjustements, and everything is running fine, even after I switched (via YaST2 3.x :-) to grub2.
But that was a simple task - the Thinkpad has Intel graphics, my home and my office desktop both have nVidia cards, so I'll still wait :-)
Was there any difficulties switching from grub->grub2?
Not at all, Patrick.
In YaST2, I chose Boot Manager, where I selected GRUB2. The appearance of the applet changed. I klicked on "Options" just to see what is there, but didn't touch anything. For me, Grub2 is kind of magic, and I'm not a magician ;-)
A few minutes later, I rebootet the Thinkpad and was greeted with a significantly other-looking :-) boot screen. I chose the first entry and everything went fine.
Thanks, I will probably do the same. My present system is Tumbleweed from the start of Tumbleweed and is still booting grub. But since the upgrade to 13.1 my preference to boot to runlevel 3 is disreguarded (not so on two other systems), so I will change soon.
Later, I saw that this entry boots the 3.12.x kernel I still had "on board" from the old times ;-) when Tumbleweed was based on 12.3 and provided this kernel version. Chosing the second boot entry (labeled "options for 13.1") would have offered booting the standard 3.11.x kernel of openSUSE 13.1, which I did not test yet.
I have: zypper ll # | Name | Type | Repository --+----------------------+---------+------------------------- 1 | kernel-devel | package | openSUSE Current OSS 2 | kernel-desktop | package | openSUSE Current OSS 3 | kernel-desktop-devel | package | openSUSE Current OSS rather than continue to deny install of lessor version kernels :^) I probably should change as I notice some (few) irregularities that haven't presented enough concern for discussion, yet :^), but doubt that they are kernel related. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
