Greg,
It seems that people aren't doing: zypper dup to update for 12.2.
Did you try that? On one of my boxes, X died half way through, and I had to continue with the update from a console. The other one, it worked just fine, no problems at all. Yes you are right. I was using YaST and not "zypper dup".
Reading http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed gave me an impression that "zypper dup" is needed only when you enable Tumbleweed for the first time. Maybe it can be mentioned on that page that everytime new "base" system is released "zypper dup" should be run and not Apper or YaST.
I have had reports of it working fine for some people, and like you, others report problems of X dieing. But that should be recoverable with 'zypper dup', right? it was not that easy: NetworkManager command line tool "nmcli" is/was broken so that I couldn't use wifi connection. I tried all possible ways. (maybe there is a problem with authentication) Ethernet module "atl1c" was causing system freezes on my netbook so I had to blacklist it. Luckily my router has USB port so I could connect through it, NetworkManger established a connection and I could run "zypper dup". No need to use ifconfig.
but.... after reboot the system was not booting. It turned out that GRUB was configured for the "old" tumbleweed kernel 3.5.3-40 that was replaced by 3.4.6-2.10 when "zypper dup" was run. After manually editing GRUB options I was able to boot. Now I'm reinstalling all packages to make sure no package is broken. Thank you Greg very much for the advice.
