hello
when upgrading 13.2 to 42.1
existing network config is not taken into account at upgrade time
and values entered at upgrade time are not applied anyway
so the net work is not working
i check this is i had to make several upgrade one after the other

How did you perform the upgrade?
from a dvd burnt from an iso image downloaded from opensuse.org
Could you please elaborate? Behaviour as it is, as you would have expected?
The install media do not take networksettings from an installed system, nor are the networksettings made during install saved to the installed system. Which IMHO is OK.
it is not as i expectedas far as i remember, until very recently, 13.1, the network settings were kept (i am using SuSE for a good 15 years now)
i have a dozen of other issues which i may post in different threads
That may be caused by the move from “ifup” to “wicked”. Must say though that I prefer clean installs ( also went from S.u.S.E. in 1998 via SuSE to openSUSE ), and the upgrades I did do weren’t done through install media, but rather through changing repos and performing zypper dup.
But, reading the above, my guess is that you do have the networking up now.
I don’t think that’s quite right, at least for a clean install.
In my experience, the network settings made during install are saved, and will be used if you have wicked controlling the network, but will not be used for NetworkManager.
By the way, if you want to do any network settings during install, then unplug the ethernet cable before you start the installer, and plug it back in as soon as it shows the network configuration page.
bad guess!!
i am sending that thru my work station running 13.1 which is mainly used for finite element analysis
i have also a file and printer server with 11.4
my lap top running some other linux os
and my experiment machine which i am trying to update from 13.2 to 42.1 at the time,
i do not use it for production work, i experiment different distros by swapping hard drive,
when the distro is fully qualified i install that on the main work station,
13.2 failed to qualify because of gcc issue i could not solve (4.8)
