Update 15.6 to 16.0

Can I dup from 15.6 to 16.0? If not what is the correct method?

Tested a number of times:

sudo zypper in openSUSE-repos-Leap
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper up
sudo zypper in opensuse-migration-tool
sudo opensuse-migration-tool

Pick Leap 16.0 and off you go.

Thank you. That makes it easy.

It downloaded 2854 files, started to install, produced a screen full of errors that flashed by and then asked me if I wanted to repeat. I found nothing significant in journalctl. But fortunately 15.6 still boots. Where do I look now?

Read man script, repeat your update and show the errors.

Thanks. You have introduced me to a tool I have never used. But I decided it will be faster and easier if I do a new clean install rather than update.

No that doesn’t work either. It only sees one of three drives and wants to install on the wrong drive. Must I take my computer and apart and disconnect the drive to install?

No, just delete the proposal and create on the drive you want to use…

Well that’s hard when I can’t see the left side of the screen with the options because in booted in 720x480. But on the third attempt it opened with a higher resolution and I am on the right road. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

It booted to a terminal. No GUI. Do I need to install XFCE separately?

Does Xfce use GDM?
