Can a version upgrade be done entirely within YaST? Specifically: 1. amend all repositories from 15.1 to 15.2 2. use Online Update to do a "force update all"
Also, can this be done from within a graphical session from a user account, should it be done when logged in as root, or should it be done strictly from a command line, but not logged into a graphical session?
Having upgraded several systems last night, the to me easiest way is to follow the console instructions on https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade. I have actually run this from the graphical session on two systems that otherwise would not have had network access. The two caveats I experienced are: * The lock-screen will break at some point so you will have to follow the instructions it displayed to unlock it from a terminal session. * Logout in KDE no longer worked in the end so I had to trigger the reboot from a terminal session. Thus, I'd recommend to actually run the upgrade from terminal but you should be fine doing it from the graphical session.
