Just did this with my HTPC. The nvidia stuff went perfectly w/o trouble, i.e., no additional mkinitrd/dracut stuff needed, but a lot of the multimedia stuff was switched back from packman to openSUSE repos - guess they had lower version numbers in packman?
Try, next time:
zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change
Amazing, where did you get this from? It's not even in the manpage...
No? I didn't look, I thought it was. I knew about it because some one mentioned it here, about when it had been invented and was experimental. There has been much recent talk about that switch in the factory mail list. There is also an option in the config file to make it the default. Huh, yes, it is in man zypper: --[no-]allow-vendor-change Whether to allow changing the vendor of installed resolvables [zypp.conf:solver.dupAllowVendorChange]. Setting this to no might be useful if you do not want packages from foreign repos being dup’ed to the distributions version (or vice versa).
But yes, that indeed works much smoother, I just tried it with another upgrade.
I ran it in a remote ssh session. Doesn't really matter.
a bit risky...
Not really, as long as the machine is in doubt reachable with STMP: Simple Turnschuh Management Protocol (for non-germans: Turnschuh = sports shoe; i.e., run over there to fix things...)
LOL.
It's just that the respective machines don't have monitor/keyboard connected, and I'm a quite lazy person :D
Yes, just the same way I'm doing maintenance now of my laptop in the sitting room :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
