just download opensuse 12.2
kernel 3.4.6 and some what
KDE 4.8.4
and more packages that you must upgrade to have the newest
after 12.2 rc2 and all the updates
i do not install this release then i have to do all the upgrades again
just a upgrade and leave the kernel and kde as it is know
I am not sure what you downloaded and what versions you wish to update. This is what I did this morning to upgrade from openSuSE-12.1, kernel-3.5.3, KDE-4.9.0, to the latest “stable” versions for me. This is on real hardware (i.e. not a virtual machine)
I performed zypper dup --from these repositories:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.2/repo/oss
http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.2/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/49/openSUSE_12.2/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/LibreOffice:/Unstable/openSUSE_12.2/
I had to reinstall VirtualBox – I use the Oracle rpm. Apart from that I have not noticed anything amiss. I have spent a couple of hours using it with Scribus, LibreOffice writer, GIMP, Okular, and VirtualBox (testing existing VMs, including a working SIP PBX). So far pleasantly surprised.
