From what I can see LEAP 42.1 has been patched last night. I am not sure about Tumbleweed and 42.2 and older versions.

Is it a problem in the kernel or in the filesystem? Bob -- Bob Williams System: Linux 4.4.24-1-default Distro: openSUSE 42.2 (x86_64) Desktop: KDE Frameworks: 5.26.0, Qt: 5.6.1 and Plasma: 5.8.1

That patch seems to cause a jump from kernel 4.1.31 to 4.4.25, is that correct?

I just updated my 42.1 system and it installed kernel-source-4.1.34. AFAIK the 4.4 kernel is 42.2. Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, my mistake - I was planning on dup'ing this box to 422, so I had upgraded the repos, but not actually dup'ed it.

yes, all versions. We have released updates for 13.1, 42.1, 42.2 beta. Tumbleweed will get it in the next snapshot which should be published today or tomorrow. 13.2 I will try to also get moving the next days.

I nominally changed from 13.1 to 13.2 last month. There weren't many changes.. I did it via a network upgrade, altering the repos. I was using, as Regular Readers will recall, Kernel_Stable even back then, so was on series 4 kernel even with 13.1 The advances & improvement in the series 4 kernels, not least of all in performance due to the way kernel locks operate, are multitudinous and well documented. There are other repositories with bleeding edge kernel updates, even more so than 'factory', but I do make the point that I use kernel_STABLE. The only 'experimentation' I'd be interested in would be Reiser4, and even with that I'd still want a series 4 kernel base. -- 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

Yes I am sure. Sorry, back-patching that has problems. The layout of BtrFS changed after that release. If I try running 3.12 I can't access my BtrFS based RootFS. I don't subscribe to the "make Linux 3 Great Again" politics :-( The 4 series has many improvements and enhancements. I'm surprised at this coming from you, Patrick, since I know you run a 'rolling release' and are normally forward in attitude, quite refuting the myth that us 'Whitebeards' are conservative fuddy-duddies. -- 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

Would be nice to see the patch for 13.2 quite soon, since we still have many 13.2 systems - Thanks! By the way, on the most critical 13.2 systems I have installed kernel-default-4.1.34-33.1.x86_64 from 42.1 which seems to work - but maybe this is not recommended...

Something horribly broken with download.opensuse.org-update.repo's redirection to mirror function. This morning i started an update, and it simply would never complete the individual downloads. It stalled and retried every time - always with the same mirror. It was literally chewing on this from 9am to 4:45pm PST. Finally I looked up a mirror form the mirror list and adjusted my repositories to that that mirror (http://mirror.datto.com/opensuse/update/13.2/) and BAM it finished in 4 minutes flat. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Just for the record, Marcus, booting into the 3.16.7-45-desktop kernel from this update (i) hoses Ethernet connectivity where this was originally configured via NetworkManager rather than Wicked, and (ii), while my external USB soundcard can seemingly be successfully configured in YaST, system sound otherwise isn't working -- KMix is missing from the System Tray (and doesn't load when prompted via ALT+F2), and entries for both the built-in and USB sounds card are blanked-out in the Multimedia section of KDE Settings. (i) can obviously be solved by switching over to Wicked, whereas (ii) I will leave to your considerable expertise!
