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>, 42.2<\/a>, 42.3<\/a>, 15.0<\/a>, and 15.1<\/a>)… Here\u2019s the latest for upgrading in-place from openSuse 15.1<\/strong> to 15.2<\/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

#\n# Run the following as the root user, or insert all your sudo commands if you like\n# Tip: Make a snapshot before you proceed!\n# Tip: Use \"screen\" to run the dup\n# Tip: Ensure you have space to do an upgrade (the \/boot requires more space these days)! \"df -h\"\n# Tip: Check your version, to know what your upgrading from and to: \"more \/etc\/SUSE-brand\"\n# If you can, do a final update (if the repos still exist):\nzypper ref;zypper up\n# Now check for custom repos (note it for later if so), and make sure update repo is set and enabled before upgrading:\nzypper lr --url\n# Check to see repos defined in \/etc\/zypp\/repos.d\/ (e.g. hard-coded to 15.1), or using the $releasever variable (new method):\nmore \/etc\/zypp\/repos.d\/*\n# (IF NEEDED) Replace Leap repos defined in \/etc\/zypp\/repos.d\/ are using the $releasever variable:\nsudo sed -i 's\/15.1\/${releasever}\/g' \/etc\/zypp\/repos.d\/*.repo\n# Switch and refresh all repositories to new (new method):\nzypper --releasever=15.2 ref\n# Verify the repos are set with variable:\nzypper lr --uri\n# Finally, do the Distribution UPgrade... and I like the option to download all the packages first, before installation (if space is available)...\nzypper --releasever=15.2 dup --download-in-advance\n# And now that the upgrade is done, add back any custom repos at this point (optional, depends on your environment) \n# (optional) And I'm not sure why, but on some of my systems grub did not get configured, so I had to:\n# grub2-mkconfig -o \/boot\/grub2\/grub.cfg\n# And reboot (and watch from a console)...\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 (especially if you have small \/boot partitions).<\/p>\n
Thanks to the folks at Suse; and here’s the thorough and detailed guide that I adapted this from:
