i'll never do such zypper dup with all repos again...
what do you suggest? boot to a snapshot? use the installer using netboot?
The big problem is not using dup, but what repos you have enabled.
You can revert the situation with a zypper dup, but first disabling the repos that caused the problem.
Boot to a snapshot, well, yes, if you can find a correct snapshot.
Boot the 15.5 DVD and forcing an upgrade to it, might work, too.
can I fix the system from a readonly snapshot boot?
I have no experience with snapshots, sorry. I think that all snapshots are readonly till you decide to stabilize on one and make that one final. But I am not sure.
otherwise:
I tend to try to Install 15.6 - but cannot use a physical medium.
I last installed 15.1 using that method for complete remote headless installations.
downloaded the initrd and linux files from download.opensuse.org for 15.6 and edited /srv/tftp/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default on my main server
the relevant part looks like this:
--- serial 0 115200 default install64 prompt 1 timeout 30
#Install x86_64 Linux label install64 menu label Install x86_64 Linux kernel setup_linux append initrd=setup_initrd nosplash textonly showopts install=https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/repo/oss/ loghost=172.18.0.1 proxy=http://172.18.0.1:3128 startshell=1 WaitReboot=1 nomodeset ---
I currently want to avoid any mistakes. This is currently the only working PC with a monitor for me (and gladly I had a ssh session on another server when this dilemma occured.)
If boot fails I need to use ssh on my cell phone... Thank you for cross checking
Sorry, I don't know. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.5 x86_64 at Telcontar)
