[opensuse-virtual] xen/desktop/default kernel shenanigans
I'm messing with xen in OpenSuSE 13.1 on a Dell R220. An install from disc selecting xen server failed to produce a bootable system. I got it working by installing a minimal server, then installing the xen-server pattern via zypper. I set the xen kernel as the default reboot and voilà, dom0 here we are. Now I'd like for the xen kernel to be the only option on the system. If I uninstall kernel-default, and zypper installs kernel-desktop. If I uninstall kernel-desktop zypper installs kernel-default. Is there something that says I can't just have the kernel-xen which I'm using? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

You've installed the pattern, and likely have 'installRecommends = yes' set in zypper.conf. Uninstall the pattern Set installRecommends = no install kernel-xen uninstall kernel-default kernel-desktop SInce kernel-xen updates can occassionally take a 'left turn', I'd suggest keeping two versions of the kernel. cref: http://doc.opensuse.org/products/draft/SLES/SLES-tuning_sd_draft/cha.tuning.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
Thanks for your response. I removed the minimal server pattern, toggled installRecommends, but it still wants to install one kernel when I remove the other, although the xen-kernel is installed and booted. On 12/17, grantksupport@operamail.com wrote:

details? copy/paste output of your zypper console session and, the output of rpm -qa | egrep -i "xen|kernel" | sort cat /etc/zypp.conf cat /etc/zypper.conf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

What happens when you do a zypper rm kernel-default -kernel-desktop What other packages is going to be uninstalled? I guess there is one, that has a dependency on a kernel, which means one of the two. Regards, Johannes - -- A bunch of security trolls had been hired to guard her.

Got it! Thanks guys! Though a cfg management snafu virtualbox was accidentally installed but not needed. Removing virtualbox allowed for a removal of the extra kernels. On 12/17, Johannes Kastl wrote:
