[opensuse] Can't upgrade 11.4 to 13.1
I'm trying to upgrade my firewall from 11.4, the old Evergreen to 13.1, the next Evergreen. However, when I try I get this error message, which I have never seen before. "The installed product is not compatible with the product on the installation media. If you try to update using the current installation media, the system man not start or some applications may not run properly." Is 13.1 too far from 11.4? Will I have to upgrade to 12.x first? As I have a lot configured on this firwall, I'd prefer to upgrade, rather than fresh install. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ignore it and go ahead. The message is triggered by the absence of "/etc/os-release". Or create it, better. Copy it from another version and change the values. See this thread for more details.

OK, I've copied that file from 13.1 and changed the numbers. I'll see what happens when I try upgrading again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I still got that error, but continued anyway. It appears to be working OK so far. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When I try to run online update, I now get several errors. I guess I'll have to do a fresh install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Wait, please. Tell me about them, I may be able to help, I have some experience with this method. However, it is 5:44 AM here, and I should be in bed...

I think I'll go with a fresh update, rather than work through the problems. However, before I do that, I may get another computer. My firewall is running on an old compact size Compaq computer, with an i586 CPU. I've noticed some newer HP computers, also in the compact case, but with 64 bit CPUs are now available at a local store. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Remove kernel-default-3.0.101, plain and simple. Current kernel for 13.1 is 3.11.10-11, that one is from 11.4.

That's the one you have to choose.

One step at a time. One of the reason for losing network in 13.1 is because of the interface name change. It is in the release notes. One of the remedies is to go into yast, remove both interfaces, then create the new one.
I have restored my old 11.4 version.
You have to insist. :-)

No, not really. You are unused to it, but it is not that complex, compared to install and configure all the services in a new machine. Basically, you have to do (with only the four official repos enabled): zypper dup zypper patch zypper up after upgrading with the DVD to 13.1. If you upgrade with the netinstall cd, or telling the DVD to use internet repos instead of the dvd, that phase above is not necessary. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Actually, no. The interfaces remained the same and I could ping out. I just couldn't get DNS resolution. Also, why would an interface name change affect DNS?

My first attempt was with the net install CD and that's when I first saw the error message. I suppose I could give it another try, when I have time, but I've never had this sort of problem before when doing an update. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, right. But...

But it is a long distance upgrade ;-) I have seen many dependency conflicts on upgrades, many much worse and difficult to figure than yours ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

I did. As I mentioned earlier, after doing that, the rest of the updates continued, but when it was done, DNS stopped working. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, but that can be investigated. Maybe your resolv file was emtpy. It happens. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

No, checked all that.
Well, you can try "host -v google.es", and look for this section: +++···················· Received 373 bytes from 192.168.1.14#53 in 79 ms Trying "google.es" ····················++- where I find out what dns server it is asking the information from. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
