Following along in my line of “Readers Digest” versions of the official Opensuse upgrades procedures (here are a couple of my past ones: 11.1<\/a>, 11.2<\/a>, 11.4<\/a>, 12.1<\/a>, 12.2<\/a>, 12.3<\/a>, 13.1<\/a>, 13.2<\/a>, 42.1<\/a>), here\u2019s the latest for upgrading in-place from Suse Leap 42.1<\/strong> to Leap 42.2<\/strong> below. Just be sure to run each of these lines one-at-a-time, not like a script.<\/p>\n

And please… if you don’t know what you’re doing, please don’t do this. This process does not take many special conditions into account, since it is a simplified version. There’s a link at the end for the official documented instructions if you need further help. Now, let’s get to it:<\/p>\n

#\r\n# Make a snapshot before you proceed!\r\n# Run the following as the root user, or insert all your sudo commands if you like\r\n# Please ensure you have space to do an upgrade!\r\ndf -h\r\n# If you can, do a final update (if the repos still exist)...\r\nzypper ref;zypper up\r\n# Now check your repos. Look for anything custom, and note it for later if so...\r\nzypper lr --url\r\n# Now, we actually do the UPGRADE\u2026\r\n# Disable all the old repos...\r\nzypper modifyrepo --all --disable\r\n# Now set up the new repos for 42.2...\r\nzypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.2-Update' http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/update\/leap\/42.2\/oss\/ repo-42.2-update\r\nzypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.2-Update-Non-Oss' http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/update\/leap\/42.2\/non-oss\/ repo-42.2-update-non-oss\r\nzypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.2-OSS' http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/distribution\/leap\/42.2\/repo\/oss\/ repo-42.2-oss\r\nzypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.2-Non-OSS' http:\/\/download.opensuse.org\/distribution\/leap\/42.2\/repo\/non-oss\/ repo-42.2-non-oss\r\n# Verify that the repos look right\r\nzypper lr --uri\r\n# Import the keys for the repos and refresh the local cache\u2026\r\nzypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref\r\n# Do a Distribution UPgrade... and I like the option to download all the packages first, before installation...\r\nzypper dup --download-in-advance\r\n# Now, make a list of the old disabled repos; they might be a combination of 12.3 and 13.x on some systems, if they weren't cleaned before...  Whoops...  ;)\r\nzypper lr\r\n# Remove all the old repos, for example...\r\nzypper rr repo-42.1-non-oss repo-42.1-oss repo-42.1-update repo-42.1-update-non-oss \r\n# And now that the upgrade is done, add back any custom repos at this point (optional, depends on your environment) \r\n# One more check to be sure that only the desired 42.1 repos remain...\r\nzypper lr --uri\r\n# And reboot (and watch from a console)...\r\ninit 6<\/pre>\n
My advice is to make sure you have multiple terminal sessions during the upgrade, in case something goes a little strange, and make sure you have space for the kernel and all the files.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the folks at Suse, and here’s the “long and detailed” guide that I adapted this from:
