I am not fully sure that 15.1 supported the "releasever" variable, maybe yes, but something was wrong. The test is doing:
zypper lr --details | less
all pointed to 15.1
Or rather:
zypper --releasever=15.2 lr --details | less
and carefully examine the results, so that ALL the active URLS point, in your case, to 15.2. If one is wrong, go to directory "/etc/zypp/repos.d/" and edit the bad file so that it either has the correct $releasever variable or the correct number.
I've seen now that only some had the $releasever variable. In one I could replace /15.1/ by /$releasever/ but others had URLS like http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/ and I don't know how to change them to a $releasever-URL...
so I just changed the number.
baseurl=http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_${releasever}/
Actually, I am using the number, not the variable. I had problems somewhere forgotten.
Repeat till the output is clean 15.2, then do:
zypper --releasever=15.2 refresh zypper --releasever=15.2 dup --download-in-advance
Ok, that worked. Thank you, Carlos!
Welcome :-)
I had a minor problem, though. I have an nvidia-card and once I marked the nvidia drivers as "do not change" (because I've read somewhere that updates may disturb). So they were not updated, and the screen showed in a lower resolution, distorted to the different side ratio...
I updated those "blocked" NVidia drivers, and here I am.
You can lock the nvidia drivers only while staying on the same release, but once you upgrade the release and the kernel, the drivers need to be updated as well.
Now memorizing your hints for continuing to 15.3. Knock on wood!
I can light a candle ;-p
Your candle helped a lot Carlos :-) Upgrade from 15.2 to 15.3 went easy and straight forward. Still, the NVidia drivers were obviously not updated during the upgrade and after boot into 15.3 I had the small resolution desktop again. When I opened Yast it showed me two NVidia packets needing update, so I did that and rebooted. Still wrong resolution and Nvidia not used. I searched for all Nvidia in Yast and updated all of them again. After reboot now I have Nvidia working and the screen looks good :-) Thanks again for the help! -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com
