[opensuse] 13.1 to 13.2 upgrade failure
Downloaded (79Mb) network iso and sent to USB. Boots OK. Choose upgrade. Dumps me at linuxrc: 'Make sure the installation medium is available'. Retry? OWTTE. And I have to abort. Is the network upgrade possible? Thanks, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Is the network upgrade possible?
Should be. You have to configure a network connection. The installation medium is a repository in the network. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

first time I installed factory on a non opensuse laptop, I got the usual (run time) yast network window to configure the network. This was very pleasant, making it from random terminal during install is pretty hard but today, trying to update this install with an usb key (13.2 dvd) I was asked to configure the network, but only with an error message, no config windows, so maybe this particular setup is not that debugged jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

So it's not working then. How about the dvd upgrade. Does that work? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The last upgrade to 13.1 opened yast, picked up the network and you could point and click your way through the upgrade. Have we now dropped that facility? Does anyone know? Maybe I am doing something wrong; e.g. 79Mb for an upgrade iso seems tiny. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The 79 MB is from the NET install. According to the Wiki it should be possible to upgrade using the NET install. But you should have a backup of your system. Just for fun I did an upgrade, using the Factory snapshot (20141102) DVD, of an older Factory system. It went OK, apart from generating a complete GRUP2 boot system with all my systems to choose from when booting. But afterward using the bootloader module of YaST fixed that problem. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

So you used linuxrc? What did you put and where? Loke what is it? ftp? http? what is the directory on server? Previously Yast did all this. We seem to have reverted to having to be an expert to upgrade. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Using NET is almost the same as using the DVD, you start using linuxrc, however the installation/upgrade system, 5 files, is not coming from the DVD, but from a repository in the Internet. This is the software to do the configuration and the necessary initialization. The information to do the installation or upgrade is stored in memory. When you finally press the installation/upgrade button the system will be initialized and the packages to be installed are not coming from the DVD, but from that repository, which is the oss repository. It is irrelevant to know what protocol is used to download the software from the repository, you may need to add a proxy when configuring the network. -- fr.gr.

The URL is already on the NET CD. It is just the URL of the repository for 13.2 Oss. You only need to set up the network, and if needed a proxy, so this URL can be reached.
