Migrate from openSUSE 13.1 to openSUSE 13.2

  • Check that update repository is existing and activated, so display repository list with URLs display: zypper repos --uri.
  • Check you have this repository:
#  | Alias           | Name            | Enabled | Refresh | URI
---+-----------------+-----------------+---------+---------+---------------------------------------
1  | repo-update     | repo-update     | Yes     | Yes     | http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/
  • If it is not enabled, activate it: zypper modifyrepo --enable repo-update.
  • If it is not existing, add it: zypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-13.1-Update' http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/ repo-update
  • Refresh and update repositories: zypper refresh and zypper update.
  • Check the repository list: zypper lr.
  • We'll need to remove all unofficial repositories one by one: zypper rr alias.
  • Save old repositories and put new ones:
cp -Rv /etc/zypp/repos.d /etc/zypp/repos.d.Old
sed -i 's/13\.1/13.2/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*
  • Refresh repositories again: zypper refresh.
  • Prefer tty1 (foreground virtual terminal) over X Session for the upgrade (CTRL+ALT+F1 or sudo chvt 1).
  • During the upgrade DO NOT shutdown and DON'T interrupt Internet connexion or you can broke your system.
  • Start the distribution upgrade: zypper dup
