I need to install an openSUSE Tumbleweed over an openSUSE Leap 42.2

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I have an openSUSE Leap 42.2 installed it is no longer supported by updates, so I would like to install an openSUSE Tumbleweed because it is a rolling release.

  1. Is it possible to install an openSUSE Tumbleweed over an existing openSUSE Leap 42.2 without destroy all software installed ?
  2. There is installed another Operating Systems;
  3. I have at least 3 disks and I don’t remember where is my openSUSE Leap 42.2 installed, I afraid I could destroy another OS;
  4. Can anybody inform me how to understand where is my openSUSE Leap 42.2 installed ?

(1) Yes, it is possible. I’m not sure how easy, because I’m not familiar with your system.

If 42.2 still boots, then you could try booting it. Then use “df” or “mount” to see what partitions are mounted and where. Make notes.

One option might be to use the DVD installer for Tumbleweed, and tell it to upgrade your 42.2 system to Tumbleweed. It should present you with systems that it finds and allow you to tell it which to upgrade. Up until you click the final “Install”, you can abort and nothing will have been changed on your disk.

Like nrickert says, with the addition that you could gather info and post this on paste.opensuse.org , keep the URL’s.
And, also post here. Things we’d like to see is output of these commands. Open a terminal window and copy and the output,

I have an USB memory stick prepared with openSUSE Tumbleweed for installation.
It is not mounted at this time.
( Ihave an USB SSD and an USB HDD - they are not mounted at this time ).

6

I have used the USB-stick installer for Tumbleweed, and told it to upgrade my 42.2 system to Tumbleweed.
It did try to upgrade /sdb6 but it failed, reporting may be a syntax error. It did freeze for a while, I have restarted the PC. The openSUSE Leap 42.2 boots and works, for now I can not upgraded it.

7

Could you please be a bit more elaborate about this. Of course you van upgrade to Tw. There’s always a way. What makes me wonder is that you sais that it did try to upgegrade but failed. Can you show us the actual message? And, please deffine “for a while” and “may be a syntax error”. We cannot see your machine, please understand that. To help you, we need actual information.

FWIW: if you perform an upgrade, at a certain point the installer is going to calculate the changes to be made, Depending on the system that is being upgraded this may take some time.

FWIW2: You could check in 42.2 on software.opensuse.org whether the packages you have installed from various non-distribution repos, also get built for Tw. If such is the case, you could even change the “_42.2” in the repo URLs to “_Tumbleweed” and run ‘zypper ref && zypper dup’

8

The green ones are OK
The red one is definetly a problem, it’s the 42.1 distribution repo, so you may have a mix of packages, Remove it through YaST, and run


sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup

post output here if you don’t trust yourself
The brown ones are obsolete, remove them. through YaST’s software repository manager
After doing so, run

zypper lr -d

Your camera shots chopped off the end of the critical errors, particularly your post #9.
Can you take a picture that shows the entire error?

Else,
The alternative is to follow the instructions in that error… Go the location of the logfile for that upgrade attempt and post to a pastebin.

I did not see the entire error, I saw 3 errors, after the 3-d one nothing happens, I did wait for about 30 minutes and restarted the PC, because I decided that the installation is frozen.
I can not find the log file.
Sorry.

You doing that as root? It is a permission problem so normally you would need to be root to get in.

There are still repos in the list that I marked brown, remove them, they’s not adding anything and only confuse.
Disable the ecsos and Nemton repos, they’re no longer there since 42.2 is past it’s end-of-life. You can re-enable them, once you’ve changed the _42.2 in the repo URL to _Tumbleweed.

BTW, after doing the changes to the URL’s and reactivating the mentioned repos, you will need to


zypper ref && zypper dup --allow-vendor-change

since Tw defaults to --no-allow-vendor-change. The option would keep Packman package coming from Packman, etc.

This means that the dup may suggest removal of some packages, which you would have to readd after the upgrade

Another thing: did you check/verify the download? I’ve never seen the UI syntax error before, this might indicated a corrupted download.
