[opensuse] Moving from Leap 42.2 to Leap 15
In the past I've always performed a new install of opensuse. This time I'd like to try an update. Can anyone advise me as to what pitfalls I might encounter?

probably not a good idea, leap 15 is a new version, so better make a fresh install jdd -- Envoyé de mon appareil Android avec Courriel K-9 Mail. Veuillez excuser ma brièveté. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Read the two wiki articles on the two upgrade methods, offline and online :-) For 15.0, I would recommend the online method. The offline crashes with encrypted partitions and refuses if it sees reiserfs. If not your case, then you can use it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I have many original installs over many years subsequently upgraded only using zypper, among which several going straight from 13.1, 13.2, 42.1, 42.2 or 42.3 to 15.0. The last two I did, less than two weeks ago, were from 42.2 directly to 15.0, and 42.1 directly to 15.0. I do it in steps: 1-zypper clean 2-edit /etc/zypp/repos.d/* changing 42.2 to 15.0 in each of *.repo 3-zypper ref 4-zypper -v in --download-in-advance zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm openSUSE-release 5-zypper -v in --download-in-advance device-mapper dmraid glibc lvm2 multipath-tools mdadm systemd udev 6-zypper -v dup 7-zypper pa --unneeded 7-zypper rm <unneededpackages> -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

some additional words: I just [re]installed Tw on my work machine which had been continually updated since Greg KH and pre-Tw. my new install boots in 15 sec rather than 2.25 min and is more responsibe and uses much less disk space. many accumulated little or no more used apps gone. except for the reason calling for the install, much happy camper. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I performed several tests with upgrading Leap 42.3 to 15.0 some month ago, both on and offline. In general it went smoothly. Don't recall the very small issues. There is a warning about gnupg: the configuration will be upgraded incompatible with earlier versions.

I did a only 2 from 42.2 -> 15.0, both pretty stock KDE installs. No issues, apart from one needing netconfig -f update to recreate a proper resolv.confd -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a.

there should be no issue with stock install, but if you have extra repos, they will be removed and may not even exist in 15.0, there re also new defaults for btrfs, fot example, that can't be made on update when possible, I always do a new multiboot install and switch only when all works jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for any advice Terry Eck Everyone has probably an own experience, depending on hardware. I found the following things: I presume KDE. If you use Gnome, that is going to be for someone else. Assuming you use Kontact/PIM/Kmail and Akonadi The upgrade substantially works but you will have problems with the filters. The best is to (one by one) set them up from scratch and erase the old one. If you have like me very old hardware (X201 Ironlake core i 5), then you might

YMMV, depending on hardware and size of database. KDE if not appears more stable, you have less index corruption and no LR error etc in akonadi. I did not find big issues with the FF upgrade, but bear in mind that with the new version a lot of plugin may change, so maybe you look beforehand for an alternative. I did encounter the glitch that, when upgrading, the firewall was not active and firewalld needed to have some package manually installed. I also needed after this to manually check and make sure the service firewalld was effectively started. I then would advise to check for services allowed by it by default and to take of or of course authorize then ones of interest. I have serious issues with the kernel and with PAM settings in 15 compared to 42.3. I had no problem with the latter to connect to wireless when suspending to ram, but with 15 often I need to restart the whole system as only restarting the networkstack wouldn't do. I suspect the culprit to be in some change in the intel firmware, but I am not sure. Also with kernel stable I encounter the problem. If you run "secure settings" you may consider to set up your own rules in polkit-default.privs.local. Especially shutdown and restart will not work with "secure settings" even if you authorize it because yast settings will not be honored. SDDM was quite good to me in 15 causing less fuzz than it did in 42.3. What you also should consider: it may well be that the default session of KDE is set to "wayland". Overall that works well, but, if you use as me Chinese or other european language settings (like French etc) you will see that fcitx does not play currently with wayland. You can manually set the session to x and you will not have the problem then. If you are not hit by this, you may switch tentatively to wayland and see a bit of the future. Zypper upgrade commands are working well. If you use the upgrade of yast, watch out, I do not know if this has been changed but, for the sake of it, if you have to reinstall the system and choose "read existing partitions" to take them for the new install, it is uttermost important to check if the /home is selected for formatting. This was a bug but it may be that it has been solved. With zypper you won't have the problem. I have crashes for two programs (I tried to report but the issues are known to KDE, already reported and duplicates etc). One is: baloo indexer that will fail you on a regular basis (but as said may vary, if you use mariadb, postgres, by hardware and by suspend to disk). You may experience after suspend to disc a memory leak of akonadi or kmail (not sure) that will grow softly over an hour or too causing however the consumption of the whole ram. What always works for me is to exit kontact/kmail and t stop akonadi. The to check if there is a zombi or any unexpected process of kontakt / kmail running, finally you can shut that down and restart kontact. Memory will be normal and no issues. The other program (known and reported issue) is kpowerdevil. This is unfortunate but was present AFAIK also in 42.3. That is all that comes to my mind. Make sure to have a backup in case of bad surprises, I guess this is always a good advice. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postfächer sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
