Unknown Modules for kernel 5.14.21 after upgrading to SuSE Leap 15.4

Demonstrator · March 19, 2023, 11:52am

Today I migrated from 15.3 to 15.4. and found my Network Adapter rtl8189 not working.

# lspci|grep -i rtl
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 09)

When investigating this issue, I decided to reinstall the kernel (zypper install —force kernel-default) from kernel-repo. Due to the “conflict with ‘filesystem<16’” a single solution was offered to me: “do not install”.

# zypper install --force kernel-default
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Forcing installation of 'kernel-default-6.3~rc2-3.1.ga0e8ac4.x86_64' from repository 'kernel-repo'.

Problem: the to be installed kernel-default-6.3~rc2-3.1.ga0e8ac4.x86_64 conflicts with 'filesystem < 16' provided by the installed filesystem-15.0-11.8.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install kernel-default-6.3~rc2-3.1.ga0e8ac4.x86_64

Choose the above solution using '1' or cancel using 'c' [1/c/d/?] (c): c

# zypper install filesystem
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'filesystem' is already installed.
No update candidate for 'filesystem-15.0-11.8.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

OK, now (sorry for posting first in another thread!) without ‘–force’ it looks like this:

# zypper install kernel-default
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
There is an update candidate for 'kernel-default' from vendor 'obs://build.opensuse.org/Kernel', while the current vendor is 'SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/>'. Use 'zypper install kernel-default-6.3~rc2-3.1.ga0e8ac4.x86_64' to install this candidate.

Problem: the installed kernel-default-base-5.14.21-150400.22.1.150400.22.75.x86_64 conflicts with 'kernel-default = 5.14.21-150400.22' provided by the to be installed kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.22.1.x86_64
 Solution 1: deinstallation of kernel-default-base-5.14.21-150400.22.1.150400.22.75.x86_64
 Solution 2: do not install kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.22.1.x86_64

I skipped other - hopefully minor - issues mainly with systemd-udevd.
While writing this, I am using the workaround to start with the older kernel 5.3.18

# uname -r
5.3.18-150300.59.63-preempt

which I started first to CLI and used systemctl start display-manager.
If it works I will stay with it for a while, before migrating to 15.5.
However, I would prefer to use the newer kernel …

Kind Regards,
qed

You try to use a factory kernel on Leap 15.4 when it is not even available for Tumbleweed and wonders why it is incompatible with Leap 15.4

And your original Leap 15.4 was not even up-to date…
Actual kernel-default-5.14.21-150400.24.46.1

susejunky · March 19, 2023, 12:02pm

Which repositories are you using?

Please show the result of

zypper lr -uEP

Demonstrator · March 19, 2023, 12:04pm

I did not know it is a factory kernel, but I was astounded, that it is version 6.
But it was also a recommendation when trying to reinstall 5.14.21 (without --force).
However, the kernel 5.14.21.1-150400 seems not OK for my computer.
Is there something else I can do, except for waiting for the next release?

… good point - I start weeding out

susejunky · March 19, 2023, 12:12pm

This is a mix of repsitories for openSUSE Leap 15.4, openSUSE Tumbleweed and openSUSE Factory. So it is not really a surprise that you run into problems.

How did you “migrate” from openSUSE Leap 15.3 to 15.4?

Demonstrator · March 19, 2023, 12:17pm

I disabled some repos, that were out-of-reach, then

zypper lu → no pending updates
zypper --releasever=15.4 ref
zypper --releasever=15.4 dup -l --allow-vendor-change
zypper update

everything seemed to run smoothly

susejunky · March 19, 2023, 12:45pm

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed so I’m not familiar with openSUSE Leap but as far as I know

zypper --releasever=15.4 will only work if all repository URLs have the $releasever variable. Did you check that this was the case?
it is best to disable all repositories except the standard openSUSE Leap ones before upgrading
openSUSE Leap has now oss-, non-oss-, repo-update-, repo-backports-update-, and repo-sle-update-repository. I did not see the last two in your repository list.

See also Package repositories - openSUSE Wiki

And this is how a standard Leap 15.4 repolist looks like (except for the Packman one):

Thank you, this is useful.
I consider most “backports” minor but useful updates.
The Update SLE list currently excceds my screen and I have not scanned it yet.
This will keep me busy for a while.

Thanks for your support!

BTW, I switched all repos from http: to https: without difficulties (with the active ones).
