Hi friends,
Can you kindly enlighten me on how to online upgrade from OpenSUSE 10.1 to the latest version.
Also, I have a file with iptables rules written, which i want to run automatically at startup, but it does not run at startup, instead I have to use restore command, i.e iptables-restore < “file_location” everytime to implement firewall.
Kindly help.
Before we go anywhere, could you copy paste the results of the following commands:
*cat /etc/release
and
uname -r
The first command will show us the exact version of your operating system and the second the kernel version.

I agree. But it is not “CAT …” but “cat …”, lowercase. Probably you
did not, but that is how it arrives to me, because you used bold, and
you did not use code tags.
When pasting here computer commands and such, please use a
CODE BLOCK, so that the forum software doesn’t do silly things like
converting URLS to tiny urls or otherwise hide or alter the commands you
entered. You get them by clicking on the ‘#’ button in the forum editor.

Yeah I use bolding because I assume most of the folks here use the web interface so it shows up properly.
It doesn’t. Not for any interface. Please use the CODE tags.

That is also a very bad assumption. Many of the “experts” who are most likely to
answer your questions use NNTP. I almost never invoke the web interface.
For the upgrade:
Since you are that far back, I recommend the best method as:
I agree with that.
And, for the record, I’m pretty sure that there never was an openSUSE 10.1. It was just SUSE 10.1, as “opensuse” did not exist back then.

Well, according to Online upgrade method, this procedure was provided first with
openSUSE 11.2, so you can not use it with 10.1.
Instead, you can use the traditional
Offline upgrade
method instead. I would not recommend going more than two releases
jump each time: 11.0 → 11.2 → 11.4 → 12.2 → 13.1, all with
offline upgrades.
On each step you will have to fully update the machine and ensure it is
working properly before attempting the next jump. And also make sure to
do a full backup before jumping.
I have done 11.4 Evergreen directly to 13.1 myself, but… I would not
recommend it for you, as you are not familiar with the procedure.
When you reach 11.2 you can switch to the online upgrade method instead,
if you wish, but then you will have to do a single release upgrade each
time: no jumps.

That’s a totally different question that you will have to ask about when
you reach the target release, ie, after all the upgrades.

And there’s a reason why these forums are almost dead compared to other places.
But let’s not go there.

Hi
Lets not… just to bike sled a bit, in actual fact if you compare
active forum members to forum members, we are far more active than other
forums. The other reason maybe because openSUSE runs so well on users
systems, they don’t need to be here

I certainly agree full-heartedly with this! In fact, the only original reason I joined the forum a short while ago, in spite of a long time of using openSUSE, was because as I was scanning for some information, I saw a question not being answered that I knew the answer to.
So, I signed up & responded.
Quite enjoying it, now.

Then you can not “online upgrade from OpenSUSE 10.1
to the latest version”. See my previous answer.

Useless thread suse3.1 different release >>>>> how to write to forum no answers given
Worst of all this is referred to as solution for default log of iptables.
How bad a forum can be.!

You really are using SuSE 3.1? And you expect that ancient version
(created in 1994) to actually run on a current computer?
>>>>> how to write to forum

The original question was about “online upgrade from OpenSUSE 10.1
to the latest version”, and that is impossible to do.
The second question is typically ignored. We prefer one question per
thread; the person replying chooses which one to answer if there are
more. And it happens that the other question is not appropriate in this
subforum and there is an network one far more appropriate.

That’s your opinion. You are welcome to it.
I recommend that if you have a question about iptables, you post your
own question, on the networking forum, and do not tag on the end of an
old one in the login/install forum.
