Comments on How To Upgrade OpenSUSE 12.2 To 12.3 (Desktop & Server)

Hmm, I'm doing it that way:
# cd /etc/zypp/repos.d
# sed -e 's/12\.2/12.3/g' -i *.repo
# zypper clean --all
# zypper refresh
# zypper dup -l

I agree to the above but I tend to always do multiple:

zypper dup -d -l

before running the final:

zypper dup -l

 This ensures a "full" cache of RPMs on the local harddisk. When the final command starts it probably has nothing to download anymore since all files are already there.

This minimizes the downtime and keeps you safe from errors like '404 File not foundÄ because someone upgraded a rpm on the webserver while you were upgrading.

it works at first time. i'm old unix user (from 2005) I used Sony Vaio Lap Top with Intel icore processor. The update processing it takes a long, long, long time (over 2 1/2) but at last i did reboot the system and after i had the 12.3 version with Dolphin 2.2 and KDE 4.10. Very Thanks for the steps and commands. Greets from Mexico City.
