You can upgrade using zypper dup (online upgrade) or rebooting from DVD and choosing upgrade (offline upgrade). I recommend the later, but it will not tolerate any reiserfs present in fstab.

I wrote the later (most of it), so ask me ;-)
Ha! I followed this (https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade) with a strange result: after rebooting I am still on 15.1...
It downloaded approx. 5200 files, at the end of the download it said "end with error". I rebooted.
There is one repository (graphics) that is outdated. I deactivated it prior to all the rest and said "ignore" for the warnings during the downloads.
Nono, you could have left it. The entire 15.2 is outdated, it doesn't matter. Disabling a repository that contains packages not in the main distro means those packages are deleted.
I did everything in a virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1) on runlevel 5. (I have no internet on level 3)
Oh. Using wifi, perhaps? Network manager?
There is a command line interface to network manager you can use in text mode to get internet: nmcli.
- the repo-upate of 15.1 is enabled
Ok, I see. I interpreted the text on the web-page so that I must leave this.
This is the culprit.
- zypper --releasever=15.2 refresh - zypper --releasever=15.2 dup --download-in-advance
it downloaded and ended as described.
What now? Do the same again?
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.
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! 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. Now memorizing your hints for continuing to 15.3.
