In leap 16, the latest kernel update fails and crashes both Discover and cockpit. can someone help me?
How do you apply the update?
What is the output of sudo zypper up?
What is the terminal output of discover when crashing?
What is the terminal output of the browser when accessing cockpit?
What does Cockpit crash mean? Does the browser crash?
@hui ,thanks for answering .
The Discover crashes without any output
The cockpit says “oops”, no, the browser doesn’t crash, it just refuses to update.
Now I 'm going to run sudo zipper up. I’ll let u know
@hui
thank you , I did sudo zipper up and it seems he managed to update everithing .
Is it preferable to use zypper to update instead of Discover or cockpit?
Discover is the softwaremanager from KDE Plasma.
Cockpit is an overal system management tool.
zypper and Myrlyn (GUI for zypper) are the main tools for managing software and repositories for openSUSE. The advantages of zypper and Myrly over Discover are the ability to solve package conflicts. Discover fails with a nonsensical error message in such cases.
It is recommended to use zypper and Myrlyn to properly update an openSUSE system. You can still use Discover for updating of flatpaks and in case your system is supported, to update firmware/BIOS.
If Myrlyn is not installed on your system you can simply install it via
sudo zypper in myrlyn
Afterwards you have a GUI for zypper.

@hui , thank you very much
And when it comes to software, is it also preferred that the software is installed via zypper or myrlyn?
zypper and Myrlyn are for software and repo management. So yes, for installing software, use one of them.
