LKBEN11469: Update OpenSuSE from 42.1 to 42.2.
Symptom
You need to upgrade your distribution from an older to a newer version.
Cause
Needed to get security fixes.
Solution
To update your distribution you can use the following as a guide. Before you start, I would recommend a backup.
//linstall sb-release, not needed but usefull to check.
zypper install lsb-release
//Backup the old repositories
cd /etc/zypp/
cd repos.d/
cp -Rv /etc/zypp/repos.d /etc/zypp/repos.d.old
//check your repositories and deactivate the ones you do not need
zypper lr
//deactivate repository nr. 1 (on my machine! You might not need to do this)
zypper mr -d 1
//enable the update repository (you might not need to do this)
zypper modifyrepo --enable repo-update
//make shure you are on the latest version
zypper update
//prepare the repositories for the update from 42.1 to 42.2
sed -i 's/42.1/42.2/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo
//Repositories need to be refreshed
zypper refresh
//Start the distribution update
zypper dup
//you need to restart
Reboot
//check
lsb-release -a
//now you need the check your services. Is everything Ok with the system...
