I performed the upgrade to tumbleweed according to the instructions here ( Portal:Tumbleweed - openSUSE ) and when I click on “my computer” it still says my system is 12.1
Also when I try to add packman through Yast repository manager it suggests to add the 12.1 repo and not “Tumbleweed”.

The system will always be designated 12.1 in “my computer”. That’s the
foundation operating system. You can edit the file /etc/SuSE-release and
change the top line from this: openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
to this: openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) Tumbleweed
Then it will be what you want in My Computer

Regarding the repositories, show me what you have. Run this command:
zypper lr -d
and post the results here (please wrap them in code tags if you can)

Seems all right doesn’t it ?
Packman and VLC aren’t supposed to be mixed. It was pretty clear in the documentation.
But Packman doesn’t have vlc player version 2 available yet.
Nope. But if you find that certain formats won’t play, the origin is in the mix of Packman and VLC.
I have to admit that not having VLC 2.0 is a pretty big thing considering how much the player has improved. Besides, the VLC repository (there is one for Tumbleweed directly from videolan.org BTW) allows a person to get quick access to libdvdcss2 which is, for whatever reason, not included inside packman. As you know, that library is necessary to quickly decode encrypted DVD’s. It really is a shame that both are not meant to be mixed.
