Ok.
Be warned that the procedure sometimes fails.
Disable temporarily repos 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (I take the numbers from your
previous post).
Remove 5.
Also remove 8, 9, 10, and 11.
Start yast, select “software repositories” module.
Click “add”, “Community repositories”, “next”.
Search for, and add, the repositories for “oss”, “non-oss”, “oss
updates” and “non-oss updates”.
Verify that the URLs all point to 12.3: if they don’t, edit them. You
can verify if the links are work just by pasting onto a browser and
opening those pages.
After this step, repeat the “zypper lr --details” command, and verify
that you only have enabled the 4 repositories I listed (the four
official ones), and that the URLs do point to 12.3.
The next step is the dangerous one. Log out from graphical mode, open a
terminal - type ctrl-alt-F1, log in there as root, issue “zypper dup”,
and wait. It will take longish, depending on your internet connection.
If it is very slow, consider the alternate method I mention at the end
of the post instead.
You have more details of this procedure here:
Online upgrade
method
If it crashes, do not reboot. Just issue “zypper dup” again.
When it finishes, reboot. Verify things. You may now enable, carefully,
those repos I told you to disable, and install from them the things you
want. Be very careful that any repo you enable is for 12.3.
If after reboot, things are very badly, there is another recovery
procedure: Boot from the 12.3 full DVD (not the kde/gnome images), and
instead of choosing install, choose upgrade. Follow your nose.
You have more details of this procedure here:
Offline upgrade
method
After reboot, you will need a “zypper up”, “zypper dup”, “zypper patch”
to finish it up.
