[opensuse] Kernel Repos
Hi All. There is a kernel repo. called stable standard at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard. Is it safe to use kernel from this repo? I have installed 13.1 x64 on my computer at the moment. Has anyone used this and were there any issues or problems? With Kind Regards.

Like the name says it´s really stable.

In the moment I use Kernel 3.12.5 from this repro. No problems from the kernel itselve B U T as the other repros don`t fit to this Kernel, you will get problems at products that are close tokKernel like vmware or virtual box. The minimum is that you have to compile and install yourselve.
With Kind Regards.

Thank you for your response. Just to clarify one point. If I install the kernel from the stable repo, will Virtualbox, Nvidia and similar software have to be removed and compiled against the new kernel? I take it the kernel will not have to be compiled?

you will only have to recomplilethe kernel itself if there are some modification you have to do on it (perhaps for some special hardware). For software close to the kernel, there is a high chance that you remove the version you get from the repros and recompile it again the new kernel. My recommendation is to use a kernel version ahead from the normal repros only on if you want to make some tests or get new experience or if you badly need some of the new features. In this case you should take one new version and freeze it. The versions in this repro change quick and for every new sub-version you may have to do the same work again.

Thank you for your response. I do not have a pressing need for a new kernel. I did read from this list about some people solving problems by installing a kernel from the stable repo. It s good to know how to install it if the need arises and the consequences of doing so. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year.
