Hi. I am using OpenSUSE 11.4 64 bit with GNOME. I also use the Tumbleweed and Packman for Tumbleweed repositories. Accoording to uname -r, my current kernel version is 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop.
How do I safely update to the latest stable kernel version?
I am new to OpenSUSE. Please provide step by step directions. Thank you.
Hi,
Got to yast2->install/deinstall software and in the search field, type kernel. Check the kernel-desktop with version 2.6.38-18.1. and click apply. Don,t deinstall your current kernel in case you cannot boot on the new one.
I am in YaST2 -> Software Manager. I entered in kernel-desktop and the only version that I see that is available is my current one. I do see a kernel-desktop-base with version 2.6.38-18.1. I am wondering if I installed the right Packman for Tumbleweed repository. What should I do next?
Now you are asking in two threads
Better post result of
zypper lr -d

You no longer have 11.4, now you have Tumbleweed, which is for experts, not
firstcommers.

I will stick to this thread for answers. Thanks.
As su - in a termial do
zypper dup -r 2
But honestly, looking at all those repos, you are way out of your depth and heading for trouble.
Alright. I will reduce my repositories list. I seem to be downloading the 2.6.38-18.1 kernel desktop right now. Thank you.
It worked. Thank you. I am at 2.6.38-18 kernel desktop again.
No worries
