openSUSE 12.2 Still Shows Beta2, NOT RC1

Hi,

After yesterday’s “zypper up” with 995 packages, My Computer still shows Beta2. I am using Factory repos.

Today’s “zypper dup” still shows Beta2. Current kernel is 3.4.4-2-default.

Any suggestion?

:frowning:

As 12.2 was split from Factory when Beta2 was released, you are getting exactly
what is expected. In fact, it is likely that many things are wrong.

If you download the NET install CD and update your system with it, you will get
-rc1, although /etc/issue will show plain 12.2.

You could also try switching the repos to
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2/repo/oss/ and …/non-oss, and
then do the zypper dup. I think that will work.

Find out if the package that contains “/etc/SuSE-release” was updated.

Hello Larry,

I did not know 12.2 was split from Factory when Beta2 was created. Anyway, the link you gave leads to Factory-Snapshot repo. So I edited the repos from “Factory” to “Distribution/12.2…” then do the zypper dup. As a result, I got downgraded to kernel 3.4.4-1-desktop and about 1700 packages were re-downloaded and installed.

Since My Computer shows “release 2” instead of RC1,


#kdesu kwrite /etc/issue


Welcome to openSUSE 12.2 "Mantis" - Kernel \r (\l).

Does this look right?

Is that not what I said would be in /etc/issue?
