Having trouble installing a piece of hardware? Want to know if that peripheral is compatible with Linux?

However, my thinking was more around Takashi's suggested workaround...trying the kernel package from OBS Kernel:stable repo. Anyway, let us know how you get on.
So the sof-firmware was already installed.
If I want to install the new kernel from OBS, what will this involve. It will be my first time trying a different kernel, so this is uncharted territory for me.

Hey guys, not sure if anyone saw my last message, but any help in installing the kernel from the OBS repository would be great.

Regards

The stable kernel repo is here...
https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...able/standard/

The current stable kernel can be installed with...
Code:
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard kernel:stable
sudo zypper dup -r kernel:stable

sudo zypper dup -r kernel:stable
Once I do this, is it easy to revert back to my current Kernel if I have to?
I jut want to make sure that everything will work, and if it doesn't, I can easily revert back and remove the stable kernel.

Thanks

The way that openSUSE works with kernels is they let you install several at once, usually 3, and those will appear as menu choices in the bootloader. Holding down Shift during boot up should show the grub menu, or failing that try Esc. If you can see menu choices then know that installing an added kernel could remove one of the choices, typically the oldest entry. If that was your default kernel, the one you normally boot from, it is likely that it will be gone unless you backed up its rpm package when it was being installed. By gone I mean that the rpm package might be hard to track down again and then you'd want to have all the auxiliary rpms for that kernel, like devel and syms. Anyway the usual thing is there's room enough for 1 alternate kernel alongside the one you wanna keep, and if you remove that kernel and verify it's gone from the grub menu, then you can repeat the whole trial as much as it suits you.
