Hello everyone, today I will show you how to install Linux Kernel 4.12 on OpenSUSE. As you know, the new Linux Kernel 4.12 is now available for download. Installing Linux Kernel on OpenSUSE is pretty easy. Simply follow these steps below.
Install Linux Kernel 4.12 on OpenSUSE
Step 1. Check current Kernel version
uname -r
Example output
3.16.7-29-desktop
As you can see, the current Kernel version installed is version 3.16.7-29. Now we need to make OpenSUSE support multiple Kernel.
Step 2. Add multiple Kernel support
Edit zypp.conf
sudo nano /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
Now find the following lines and modify them as shown below
multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) [...] multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running,oldest [...]
Step 3. Add OpenSUSE Head Repository
Now add OpenSUSE Head repository
sudo zypper addrepo -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/ kernel-repo
