dear community,
how to upgrade to the newest kernel via termial
i run leap 42.2 and i want to test the newest kernel. At the moment i have kernel 4.4.27
note: i just have installed leap42.2 and i have a serious bug - the system does not power off - after switching off-
i described it here in this forum allready.
the only system that it works till now - is the openssuse 13.2 ;(
now i want to try out the newest kernel -
hello dear opensuse-team, hello dear commmunity,
does this following approach work: i open the terminal (Konsole) and issue these commands:
su -
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ kernel
zypper ref
zypper dup -r kernel
and then - afterwards -i mean after the installation is complete, reboot your system. You cam then check the current kernel version using this command:
**uname -a
**
i try out this procedure - and come back and report all the findings…
Your automatic updates will keep the kernel in sync with leap 42.2 as it progresses so if you accept the updates as they come the kernel will be updated automatically.
In kde if you click on the start button - system - info centre you will see what kernel version you are running. Currently it should be 4.4.57-18.3-default. If it’s not run the updates as when the kernel is changed other things are likely to be changed as well in order to function correctly with it.
Or uname -r in a terminal.
Plus as I mentioned this sort of problem can be a good reason to look to see if there are bios updates for a machine.
You don’t need to “dup”
You can do an ordinary “zypper up” which will update all packages in your configured repositories (including your newly added repo) to the most current.
