Sure enough, I am running kernel 4.11, but I have packages for multiple kernels installed, and the update packages that zypper is saying it is going to install are not even matching to the kernel I am using.
But the official version for your distribution is 4.4.70. Ie, it is what comes from the update repository.
If you have kernel 4.11 from a non official source, it is your problem to keep it and its toolchain updated.
Maybe this is contributing to why this system seems so unstable when I am running KDE?
Maybe.
Any ideas on why these multiple kernel packages are installed, and possibly, how to fix? I assumed that when updates have been made in the past, the dependencies features should have removed old packages. I only use zypper up to update my system.
But you told your system to keep 4.4.
As far as I know, I don't remember ever telling my system to keep older kernel packages when I installed the new kernel. I had to install the new kernel from the kernel:stable repository right from the very beginning, because my wireless card wouldn't work at the time with the standard kernel from the update repository. I didn't have the kernel:stable repository enabled and refreshing when I started to run that update, which gave me that strange conflict that I wanted to know about (so I started this thread). So, now I enabled and refreshed the kernel:stable repository, and it is no longer trying to install those 2 kernel packages, but is going with all the kernel updates from the kernel:stable repository. I will run that update and see what happens. I have a backup in case everything goes badly. -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | Gnome 3.20 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 12GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
