How to upgrade kernel 6.4.11

The urls for the repositories are correct.
The distro-release packages are the latest and look correct.

ls -lh /var/cache/dnf/rolling-x86_64-be271eac6fa7887a/packages
razem 0
[root@corei5 radek]# ls -lh /var/cache/dnf/rolling-x86_64-be271eac6fa7887a/repodata

That looks correct. This is a mystery to me. Contacting OM devs. You can speak directly to OM devs at OpenMandriva Chat.

One other thing I can think of is outdated rpm or dnf packages for some reason. So output of these would tell us that:

rpm -qa | grep rpm

rpm -qa | grep dnf

Good plan :+1:
Iā€™d suggest meanwhile to read general instructions (often are the same we repeat again and again :stuck_out_tongue: ) in the topic above mentioned about ROME major upgrades.

Also feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

ok thanks for your time and support. I will install fresh plasma6 ISOā€¦ When can i expect it?

The current ROME Plasma6 ISOs are very stable. The next ones for the release only have a handful of upgraded packages like new kernel 6.10.0. Edit: IMO there is no reason to wait.

Started copy of cooker to rolling repos right now

Iā€™d hope for release in 2/3 days :crossed_fingers:

Developer says the possible reasons for the problem Error unpacking rpm package kernel-desktop-6.9.9-1.x86_64 are bad download or not enough disk space. Disk space might be worth looking in to. Run the command df and locate your / partition and that will tell you how much available disk space you have.

28

@constantius24 if you still have the broken system and you have checked that you do in fact have enough disk space there is another option. Open Konsole and download the .rpm for the latest ROME x86_64 kernel (now itā€™s 6.10.0):

wget https://abf-downloads.openmandriva.org/rolling/repository/x86_64/main/release/kernel-desktop-6.10.0-1-omv2490.x86_64.rpm

Then try installing it with the rpm command:

sudo rpm -ihv kernel-desktop-6.10.0-1-omv2490.x86_64.rpm

Edit: Could be wrong on this point but as far as I can see a new kernel install should require less than 200 MB.

29

Ah, another good point from OM dev @bero.

There is no problem that would result in ā€œError unpacking rpm packageā€. The only explanations are bad download and/or disk full. Given it seems to be only the kernel-* packages, Iā€™d guess /boot partition full

So if you installed your system with a separate /boot partiton and if that is to full that would explain this error. Obviously I do not know your system but this one makes more sense to me than anything I have heard on this issue. But you would have to have a separate /boot partition.

Wanting to upgrade a ~1 yr old rolling system (with all the changes in-between) hardly can lead to anything good.
Despite good willing people around to help.
