[opensuse] Other ways to Upgrade with Crypto?
So I was running 11.0, played around with KDE 4, took up more CPU than compiz so stuck with compiz. I had encrypted all my partitions, so I knew an upgrade would probably be problematic... I put in the DVD, booted up, and the upgrade did not look like an upgrade at all, nor could I see a good way to provide my passphrase, or point which partition as to where it should be mounted. So kinda what I expected... Instead I went to runlevel 3 of my 11.0 system, disabled all the repos, setup the DVD as the sole repo, did a zypper refresh, upgraded zypper, then did a zypper dup. It went through fine, it looks like I got it all. And it went really painless. Should I have done it a different way? Did I miss something in the regular installer to do what I was trying to do? So far 11.1 seems fine. Nothing majorly different, tried KDE 4 again, still seems to be using up more CPU than a compiz desktop. Which is too bad, I am very open minded to the changes... Seems like for some reason X eats up CPU when the system blanks the screen for idle. Have to ssh in to verify that, but notice the fan on the laptop is spinning loudly when I sit back down. I unidle the screen and its hard to catch the top process, but a couple of times it looked like X, but that might just be because I un-idled the desktop :) Thanks for a grand distribution. And zypper dup, it really just seemed to work... Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It boots like "installer", till it reaches a point where it asks what you want to do: install new, on top, or upgrade. I'm not sure now if the option is a bit hidden, but it is in that window. Then, once you tell it where your root is, what it does is read everything, you can not change configurations. It should ask for your password at the point where it reads the partitions. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I did get to the point where it asked whether I wanted an upgrade or a new install. But no request for my passphrase so I know it wasn't reading my installed packages, especially when I ventured down the path a bit and it only listed like 600 packages, and if I remember correctly they were listed as *new* not *upgrade* or anything like that. I may try some fresh installs into a VM, to make sure I didn't miss something with the partioner as I have heard that its not quite like before so maybe I just didn't see something and was too hasty.

The password should be asked later, after it asks which partition holds your root filesystem. When it tries to read the partition. Maybe it was reading a different one. However, I think your report on a bugzilla would be quite vaulabe, if indeed it failed, because not many betatesters have your type of setup. But they need precise info...

The partitioner is certainly very different, at least the looks. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
