You mean for openSUSE leap? 4.4.87-18.29-default for leap 42.2. Method to find out: if installed, run "uname -a". If not... one way, search the download site. http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.3/oss/x86_64/ search for the word "kernel-default". The biggest numbered one, the latest, is "kernel-default-4.4.87-25.1.x86_64.rpm". That's the current and latest version. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I'm presuming you mean for 64bit Intel architecture. There is a repository "Kernel Stable" at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ I'm running the latest version from that which is, as of today, 4.13.3-2.g38f3021-default -- 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

It is not clear if ken is asking for the "stable" kernel version, ie, the one on the "stable" repository, or the "stable" openSUSE release, which IMO would be Leap 42.3 - but Tumbleweed some also consider a stable release, so there is confusion: openSUSE does not denominates any release with the name "stable" *name*, but as a calificative: all our releases are considered stable. Unstable would be the openSUSE 15.0. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

IMNSHO 'stable' is in the opinion of the user. There are fixes to problems in the release which are done by people in the Build Service. There are things that are not in the release for legal reasons. Many of use use cell phones and/or cameras with larger, 32G or larger, memory chips. To read those needs the exFAT driver. Licensing restrictions mean it cannot be part of the distribution. You have to get it from the Build Service where some kind soul has built it. And then there's the AMD and nVidia graphics drivers, also outside the distribution. Yes, I know, some people question the stability of those! reading though this list over the years I have seen many examples where people disagree with the way the distribution has been put together, the version of the packages in the releases. It's an individual thing. I first turned to the Kernel_Stable repository so I could get a fix for problem with BtrFS that was not being dealt with by the Suse developers. or not rapidly enough to deal with the recovery I needed done. I ran into a similar situation with XFS later. Regular readers might recall that I've mentioned my interest in digital photography and hence post-processing. I use Darktable. The distributed version is soooo far behind the current release by the developers that it is astounding. Still photography doesn't seem to be a priority for the people at Suse. So I turn to a kind soul at the Build Service. Again, even when "beta", I've found that unremittingly stable. The Darktable developers are such professionals that they are annoying SOBs[1] at times! STABLE is what what stable does, not what officialdom decrees it to be. Stop confusing the Noun for the Verb. [1] As in telling you "no you can't do that!" then asking what you are trying to _achieve_ and telling you tree or more ways that you could do that or at least close variations on it. All with an overbearing good humour. Always helpful, often when you don't want to be helped. -- 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

For shotwell, there is not even that resource on Leap :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

tnx
If we told you, we'd have to kill you. ;-) On my system, after a recent update, I have kernel-default-4.4.87-25.1.x86_64. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks. I did a LOT of web searches which gave no answers. I'm not running suse, so I can't just do "uname -r". The wifi "card" on my laptop requires a driver which needs a kernel with version 3.5 or above... which centos doesn't have. So thanks again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
