Sorry but this is senseless. 13.2 received yesterday the out of support notice. It is deprecated and will not receive any updates or security updates.

After all, there are many other repositories that can deal with updates anyway, ignoring the official ones.
For example, I use the Kernel_Stable repository for my kernel updates rather than the official 13.2 repository. There also the Mozilla repository, language, LibreOffice and many more.
All those repos will stop producing things for 13.2 in a matter of weeks if not days.
Sorry, but I also think that installing 13.2 now is senseless, except for testing or proving a point.
It's senseless unless you want a machine that JUST works. I will be using the repos described above for my 13.2 installations for the foreseeable future.
I installed Leap 42.2 this morning and it was a nogo for me.
First, in the expert partitioning, for every partition I setup (ext4) upon completion the partitioner barfed and spit out some message about debugging the problem (experts only) and had to reenter the expert partitioning for each partition I set up. Fortunately my settings were not lost and I was actually allowed to set them up as I did in 13.2.
Then I noticed I could get to no virtual consoles during the install or even after the install was complete and at the graphical login screen. What's up with that?
Then when I logged in I get a black screen with a mouse cursor. Mouse buttons do nothing and had no desktop at all.
Come on. Install problems? Dead machine after install? IMHO, Leap should be more stable than this. It's like I was back in the SuSE 7.0 days. No thanks.

Well, maybe to tell you what happened, one would have to know: Did you do an update or a fresh install with formatting root? Fresh install. Reformatting boot and root Do you have an AMD graphics card? Nvidia? Intel? Nvidia What is your RAM? 8GB Did you read the release note? No You can get virtual consoles any time, nothing changed from 13.2-42.1-42.2. My mistake here. I forgot the F-Lock key on this keyboard. When you logged in..... what desktop did you set to use? Default (Plasma 5) Did you maintain the home? Yes but I login as root or user with same results. Did you try to set up a new empty user to see if the problems were user dependent (local settings) or if this is really a problem with the graphics driver?
Just the root account.
Come on. Install problems? Dead machine after install because you run into quirks with proprietary driver or because you do an update over two generations (jumping right away 42.1). Yeap that can of course happen. Black screen with a mouse coursor indicates more of a graphics problem (probably plasma crashed). If you wait long enough it should come back all alone (is the case since 42.1 that plasma once crashed generally autostarts.
Standard install. No proprietary drivers. I'm not here for help on this. There is nothing "senseless" about staying on 13.2 for the time being. If I need help with a _basic_ install of Leap on hardware that works on 13.2, I will stay with 13.2. The install was just an exercise to see where it is. Can I use this yet sort of thing. I'll try 42.3 when it arrives, but until then I'll be sticking with 13.2.
