All methods of installing an upgrade to 15.4 fail

Hi!
I have almost identical HW to the op.

I think the problem is SW related on the op side.

regards

=hcvv;3143341]BTW. I only joined this thread when I saw the strange command. I do not know if the subject of the thread “All methods of installing an upgrade to 15.4 fail” is still valid.

I just upgraded a laptop from 15.3 > 15.4. Took about 40 minutes (but that depends of course very much on my network speed).

The end user can log in into KDE and sees no problems. That is of course not heavy testing, but it is upgraded using the on-line method without a glitch.

I decided to give this one more go using the plan outlined at “Update openSUSE 15.3 to 15.4”.
I don’t know what I’m doing. For instance, the second problem show below: Should I select option 1 and let it de-install all of those files? Will they be replaced?

Computing distribution upgrade...

For the time being I would choose:
]1 (upgrade)]2 (remove 15.3 kernel)]1 (remove 15.3 kernel)]1 (keep existing; try again later after repos have had a chance to get better organized)

Please always include the line with the command at the top. Not only output. It is only one more line, that should not be a problem to do with the copy/paste. And then all who read it are sure what you did and what you got.

Thank you! With those recommendations the new version installed and is working normally.

Nice! You may add “Solved:” to thread title to so indicate in thread search results.
