Slowroll and kernel-longterm

Hi everyone. I tried to install TW again in vm which I used without interruption until the first 6.7 kernels arrived. From then on both in vm and on real hardware I had problems. I tried a new installation of TW and the new kernel 6.7.7.1.1 surprised me positively. So this morning I installed Slowroll on my old laptop to install the default kernel 6.7.7.1.1 alongside the longterm kernel. The new kernel runs very well in my KDE slowroll. Now if I leave this default kernel will I lose the longterm kernel or will it stay up to date for my emergency use? Thanks in advance. Mauro

Sorry for my bad English. I’ve had slowrool installed for about 40 days and have been using the longterm kernel for about 1 month. Today I only installed the default kernel…

Mauro, you have to specify which older kernels to keep in the zypp config file.

pavin@suse-pc:~> grep -E '^multiversion.kernels' /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running,6.6.11-1-default,6.7.4-1-default

By default it keeps the latest, the one before that, and the currently running one. Usually this means it keeps only 2 kernels during a dup, the new one and the one you’re running which is now the old one.

In my config I’ve asked it to keep 6.6.11 and 6.7.4 specifically due to a kernel regression affecting kexec reboots since 6.7.6.

@pavinjoseph Hi, thank you very much. I was fine with the longterm. I installed TW in VM after more than 1 month and I noticed a great saving of RAM in idle and during use. So I attempted to use the standard. In fact my old acer runs very well with the standard but I expect some regression over time. thanks
