Today, I did zypper dup on my headless server. It didn’t go as I had hoped
After the upgrade was done, and the server rebooted, I could not ssh to it, nor could I ping it.
I drug out a monitor and keyboard, hooked them up and logged into the server without a problem.
I opened yast2 and discovered that there were no network connections configured.
After configuring eth0, and entering a network name, all was well.
It seems that the upgrade process did not pick up the configuration that was in place. Strange as it is usually quite good!
I know this was, to me at least, quite a minor problem but I wonder if it needs or should be reported. Problem is I don’t know where to do so.
So, I’m looking for one of two responses: Don’t worry about it, or, Here’s where you should report it.
