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There is one repository (graphics) that is outdated.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 The entire 15.2 is outdated, it doesn't matter.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
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 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. Repeat till the output is clean 15.2, then do: zypper --releasever=15.2 refresh zypper --releasever=15.2 dup --download-in-advance Alternatively, use the 15.2 DVD. Note: I upgraded one machine the other day directly from 15.1 to 15.3 using the DVD. There is something important the wiki doesn't say, that only applies to the 15.3 upgrade. I think I wrote it there but was deleted. Do it this way instead: zypper ar -f -n "Update repository of openSUSE Backports" "http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/backports/" "repo-backports-update" zypper ar -f -n "Update repository with updates from SUSE Linux Enterprise 15" "http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle/" "repo-sle-update" zypper --releasever=15.3 lr --details | less # Verify all point to 15.3 in the URL zypper --releasever=15.3 refresh zypper --releasever=15.3 dup --download-in-advance Rationale (in Spanish): https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users-es@lists.opensuse.org/message... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
