OpenSUSE :: Can Revert To An Earlier Kernel
Mar 30, 2010
Since the last kernel update to 11.2 64bit portions of my video does not work right in windows XP running in either Vmplayer or Vbox. The effect is felt with my Webcam - picture is either garbled or blank not responsive at all. all other video functions in my VM's and Suse seem OK! can I revert or set my kernel back to its prior state? If so how? Also I have both "default" and "desktop" kernels - the problem is the same in each. If I can move the kernel back to its state prior to most recent update can I do it to just one of the kernels to see if it solves the problem?

I've recently installed openSuse 11.4 64bit with KDE 4.6 and that's when the trouble started. If I put a data or mp3 cd in the drive it can be mounted. Simple audio cds refuse to mount, giving me only the option to play on one of the audio players. Since I wanted to move some music to the computer I've had to resort to windows to copy files then transfer them. How can I force KDE/Suse to behave the way I want or do I have to revert to an earlier version with KDE3.5? I suspected that System Settings/Removable Devices was where I needed to be but nothing I did worked. So then I tried playing with System Settings/Device Actions and again nothing seemed to work. I can't mount the CD manually,I get this (using su -c "mount etc"
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock

I used to have 2.6.34-12-default kernel. Recently I downloaded and installed 2.6.35.1-1.1 DEBUG kernel. Because I cannot either use pre-compiled packages or compile new package from source, I want to go back to 2.6.34-12-DEFAULT kernel.

I would like to replace the exiting kernel in one of my Fedora 11 installs with an earlier kernel from a Fedora 10 Unity Spin...so I can use it to bring ATI functionality to Fedora 11. Also, I recall there being a way to unpack rpms and 'repackage' them using a different kernel development set. How is this done?

I'm a newbie user of Ubuntu Natty, having this wifi wireless dongle that seems to work best with kernel 2.6.36. Is there a way to get it from repos through Synaptic or apt and how, or do I have to compile it myself?

I'm using F11 and I've downloaded and installed kernel 2.6.30.4-25.fc11.x86_64 from koji.
Since I'm dumb.... I've installed with rpm -Uvh kernel* so now I've loose the latest stable fedora kernel...
I've tried to manually download kernel but when I try to install it complains because it's older then the current installed.
How can I restore to kernel 2.6.29?

I'm having trouble installing the latest openSuSE 11.2 32bit using NFS. The issue appears during the text-interface, before switching to the GUI. The first strange thing I noticed after mounting the ISO is the change in User/Group-IDs. Earlier versions don't do this:
Code:
# mount ./openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso /images/suse11.2 -o loop
# ls -lah /images
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root root 6.0K Dec 1 2006 suse10.2/
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 6.0K Jun 10 2008 suse11/
drwxr-xr-x 8 98 98 6.0K Nov 6 16:21 suse11.2/
drwxr-xr-x 8 98 98 6.0K Nov 6 14:14 suse11.2_x64/
When starting the installation process on the client system I get a "No repository found" message. Checking the error console (Alt+F4) shows:
Code:
SQUASHFS error: Minor/Major mismatch, trying to mount a newer 4.0 filesystem
SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel
Older Versions (11.0, 11.1) are working OK. This error is suspicious since it remains after deactivating the NFSv4 in /etc/sysconfig/nfs and commenting out the NFSv4 export lines in /etc/exports.
Here's my /etc/exports:
Code:
/images/suse11 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)
/images/suse11_x64 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)
/images/suse11.2 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)
/images/suse11.2_x64 *(ro,root_squash,async,subtree_check)

My GMA500 (poulsbo) driver is not working any more because of the latest update I made using Software Update.
The update was a new kernel:
[omass@omass ~]$ uname -a
Linux omass 2.6.30.10-105.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Thu Dec 24 16:26:26 UTC 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Now, after this update, when I reboot I get the following error code...

Last night I was playing around with Desktop Effects and set the composting engine to Xrender, it was openGL. And things started to slow down tremendously. There is now lag on Alt+F1, lag when mousing over hidden taskbar, lag when moving windows, etc. I was trying to get rid of a trail of images when moving windows around. I created more problems. Things got even better when I tried to change back to openGL:
"Failed to activate desktop effects using the given configuration options. Setting will be reverted back to previous values. Check your X configuration. You may also consider changing advancde options, especially changing the composting type." The same thing happens when I click on "Default", the default options disable desktop effects.

PHP in FC 12 has a lot of issues. Is there any way to rollback to an earlier version still using Yum?I'm running drupal on an FC11 machine and the site works great. When I move it to a FC12 machine, I get all sorts of errors which I've traced to problems with PHP 5.3.2. Looking at the PHP site regarding the kinds of issues I'm running into is a scary experience. The developers know its broken,
I've had so much trouble with PHP and broken releases, I suggest Fedora keep at least 4-5 releases in yum so that users can easily switch versions. Certainly 5.3.2 should not be released.I've been looking for my FC11 disk and as soon as I find it, my FC12 machine is going backwards just so I can run a version of PHP that actually works. This should not be necessary, but.....

i rarely need my wireless, and i want it off by default, i am going to disable it during bootup with
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/acer-wmi/wireless
what would be the proper place for this? if i put it in rc.local it will be executed very late, i'd rather have it sooner. if add a new script to init.d, then run update-rc.d, i would have to adhere to the start|stop|reload structure of these scripts, right? or do i go a totally different way about this?

CD/DVD burning on 10.04 used to work wonderfully, but now its broken and can not create multiple copies. I don't burn a lot of disks these days but when I do its almost certain I need multiple copies.How can I revert to the version that came with my original 10.04 (64-bit) install or one perhaps a prior version to the current I have been "updated" to 2.30.2-0ubuntu1? From what I can find with Google 10.04 shipped with 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 So either it or 2.30.1 is what I need to find. How do I force a "downgrade" to what used to work for me?

Would it be ok to remove the earlier versions of dupes above, without adverse effects?

Currently I am running a dual boot with Windows 7 and openSUSE 11.3. Windows has two partitions, one for the system partition and another for the OS. I have 3 Linux partitions (swap, root, and home). Obviously I am running GRUB to boot, but this seems to be impacting my ability to install Windows 7 SP1. I would like to revert back to the Windows boot loader, install the Service Pack, and then revert back to GRUB. How do I do this?

I'm just installed OpenSuse 11.3 (64) on a 30gb SSD, hoping to get virtualbox 4.0 running to virtualize an instance of Windows 7.I went through some pain with my Nvidia video card and actually getting vb to install, but through lots of searching and tinkering got here.I created a vm in the vb control panel, but when I go to start it I get:
Code:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7Main.
The virtual machine 'Win7Main' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

I am an experienced Linux admin and have been using SuSE for many years. My development machine has had every version of SuSE since '02 and although it is a little old, is in good working order. (AMD
2400, 2 gig RAM, 160 Gig IDE disks - SuSE on disk 2) (OpenSuSE 11.1 with the latest kernel works perfectly. This install is on a spare HDD prior to doing a full install on my usual HDD.)
When I try to install SuSE 11.2 from DVD, the load kernel operation hangs at 97% (using both normal and safe kernel), however, I can install from live CD without any problem. I have tried the same DVD on a few "older" machines and had the same problem. I initially thought it was the actual DVD but re-burning has the same problem. I have also tried another DVD writer - same problem.

A recent kernel update seems to have misplaced the Kernel Headers. VMWare needs these headers and cannot find them. Attempting to run VMWARE gets the message: Kernel headers for version 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop were not found.

I have a system running openSUSE 11.2 with Desktop and XEN kernel, as well as Windows 7 (not by choice though...). I have noticed a strange time issue, with Windows 7 and the desktop kernel the time is correct (like for example now: 1:32 PM) but in the XEN kernel it is ahead several hours (6:32 PM). If it was an issue between openSUSE and windows then I would think that it is a problem with the system clock but I don't know what would cause a time issue between kernels like that.

differences between Kernel Default and Kernel Desktop? I've found some past threads like this link and this other link, and some other google info, which suggest the only difference would be the io scheduler. Also, I see the default grub choice is "Desktop" and not "Default", so I take this as a suggestion to prefer one over the other.
However, my broadcom 4312 wireless only works on the "default" and not on the "desktop" kernel, so I guess there must be other differences. I just want to evaluate which one is the less long-term risk option to go.
