[opensuse] 13.2 to 42.1 upgrade woes
Hi We tried the network install but it does not work: it will not connect to our wifi. We tried dhcp and manual and checked the password and even looked up what ESSID meant. The DVD worked after first setting up the network, this time the password was accepted. The upgrade leaves you with a blank kde. None of our configuration was retained. Do we have to start again?

What exactly is a "blank kde"?

Start what again? Plasma 5 does not migrate settings from KDE4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Does your wifi network interface work, i.e. are the drivers loaded etc? DO you have the wlan0 device? I have seen cases where the wifi interface chip simply wasn't supported by the installation system. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Yes. It worked with 13.2 and via the DVD. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

13.2 isn't necessarily relevant, but if it worked via the DVD, it should work with the network install too. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

13.2 isn't necessarily relevant, but if it worked via the DVD, it should work with the network install too.
It should work after the installation of firmware. Its a common problem, not just limited to Opensuse, that the Live DVDs work, but an install won't because the firmware needs to be installed but isn't because of licensing issues. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
