Currently having trouble with network issue,

here what i do according to the suggestion
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/oss/ repo-oss
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/non-oss/ repo-non-oss
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/ repo-update
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3-non-oss/ repo-update-non-oss
zypper dup
then first output i encounter is
Retrieving package bridge-utils-1.5-12.1.1586 (1/1501)32.0 KiB (66.0 KiB unpacked)
Media source 'http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/12.3/repo/oss/' does not contain the desired medium
Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i/?](a):
I’ve seen the other thread, and though I see that between adding the repos and the zypper dup, a
zypper ref
is missing, I strongly suggest you perform a clean 12.3 or better a 13.1 install. That would at least make sure the ones trying to help you know what they’re dealing with. Plus, even more imortant, it would show you that it all can work.

A “zypper dup” from 12.1 to 12.3 is not supported. If it destroys your
system, it is your problem.
Besides that, the code snippet is incomplete, as you previously have to
disable all existing repos.
Then before running dup, you’d better upgrade the zypper and rpm stack.
Alternatively, you can do an offline system upgrade, which may support
such an upgrade.

Ok, then he has to use the DVD offline method. His system is not working.

Waste of time, IMO. The DVD boot and choose upgrade method has been
known to recover worse situations.

zypper dup should as well.
There’s nothing magical the DVD does to fix such situations.
Anyway, I don’t want to discuss this again here.
The OP should choose what he prefers.
As far as I am concerned he could also just disable NetworkManager.service to fix his IP address problem and keep the current system if he doesn’t have experience other problems…

Not magical, technical. It runs from a sound system, while the system to
upgrade is offline. It does not use the toolchain in the hard disk, so
it does not matter if zypper is broken, network does not run, whatever.
The system can be parts one version, parts another, parts missing.
The only thing it requires is that some configuration files are correct,
specially the rpm database.

Perhaps.
It is his choice, obviously.

And “zypper dup” just needs a working rpm and a working network obviously.
I rescued systems in a worse state in online mode.
And I upgraded dozens of systems with “zypper dup”. I even did it with YaST->Software Management a few times, but I won’t really recommend that. (it can take a while until you finally resolved all dependency conflicts… )
Thanks guys for the feedback. Appreciated your guys suggestion.
if run from CD/DVD, i need to get through boss and stuff.
so i think i will try “dup” first.
worst come to worst…i will just do refresh installation.
i run through all this hassle cause my boss want to keep the developed application inside.
although we have backup but no technical guys who need to maintain the application.
As I said in the other thread, you may have to disable NetworkManager manually.
Try switching to NetworkManager in YaST and then switching back to ifup.

Done? Why don’t you try the boot DVD and choose upgrade method?
