Today I upgraded with a DVD my 11.1 to 11.2 system.
Although I tried to register, and it gives me a secure url to manually paste into the browser, AND that page’s title is “Registration Complete”, it tells me to click continue to complete, but clicking continue does nothing, and I still don’t have my update repo.
Before posting this message, I noticed that I had this problem when going from 11.0 to 11.1, and I tried all the ideas in these threads, to no avail.
Threads whose advice I now tried are:
Whilst there is no need to register to receive updates or anything similar, this might be related to the control.xml bug.
If this is your problem, look at the /etc/YaST2/control.xml file and see if it has references to 11.1 rather than 11.2 locations and fix those. As caf said, there is no need to register anything - it’s completely and utterly optional.
The only way I know to get the update repos, is to do the Yast Registration “configure system to enable online updates”. No money involved, but I had to do it last time too.
Ah! Control.xml. Although I did not find any references to 11.1, I found the 11.2 update url, which I manually added via YasT.
Zypper is doing a 520 MB upgrade “as we speak”!
Thanks.

On the same topic, where can I find all my old repos (like pacman, google, nvidia, etc) in order to get the 11.2 url’s for them? In other words, did the DVD upgrade copy that info somewhere? Is there a utility that automatically installs the 11.2 url’s for those?
Thanks again.
You can use YAST to add those, just go to YAST / Software / Repositories and click on Add then choose Community Repositories and click them one by one.
