How to upgrade from openSUSE 13.1 to openSUSE 13.2

As an important release of Linux, openSUSE has attracted a lot of attention. openSUSE 13.2 was officially released a few days ago. The main features of this version include:

At the same time, YaST has many new changes:

First, check your system version and run the following command:

cat /etc/os-release

First, disable all OBS databases or any third-party libraries, perform upgrades, and then re-enable them.
First, let's check whether there is an update library and enable it. Run the following command on the terminal:

zypper repos --uri

The input content is as follows:

# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | URI
–+—————————+————————————+———+———+———————————————————————
1 | openSUSE-13.1-1.10 | openSUSE-13.1-1.10 | Yes | No | cd:///?devices=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_CD-ROM_VB2-01700376,/dev/sr0
2 | repo-debug | openSUSE-13.1-Debug | No | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/
3 | repo-debug-update | openSUSE-13.1-Update-Debug | No | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/update/13.1/
4 | repo-debug-update-non-oss | openSUSE-13.1-Update-Debug-Non-Oss | No | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/debug/update/13.1-non-oss/
5 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-13.1-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/non-oss/
6 | repo-oss | openSUSE-13.1-Oss | Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/
7 | repo-source | openSUSE-13.1-Source | No | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/
8 | repo-update | openSUSE-13.1-Update | Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/
9 | repo-update-non-oss | openSUSE-13.1-Update-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1-non-oss/

As you can see above, the opensuse-13.1-update library is available and enabled. If not, run the following command:

zypper modifyrepo --enable repo-update

If the updated repository does not exist, run the following command:
zypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-13.1-Update' http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/ repo-update

To update your current version to the latest package, run the following command:

sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper update

It takes some time, depending on your network speed.

After the update system is restarted, there will be new changes.

Upgrade
As I have mentioned, upgrade is performed before any third-party or OBS library is disabled.
To list the currently available repositories, enter the following command:

zypper lr

If you have any third-party libraries, remove them using the following command:

zypper rr

You may want to back up your current database. Enter the following command to back up your current database.

cp -Rv /etc/zypp/repos.d /etc/zypp/repos.d.bak

Then change the new versions of all databases. Here I want to upgrade to 13.2 with the command:

sudo sed -i 's/13.1/13.2/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*

Now, check whether all changes are made to the new version library.

zypper lr

The output is as follows:

# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh
–+—————————+————————————+———+——–
1 | openSUSE-13.2-1.10 | openSUSE-13.2-1.10 | Yes | No
2 | repo-debug | openSUSE-13.2-Debug | No | Yes
3 | repo-debug-update | openSUSE-13.2-Update-Debug | No | Yes
4 | repo-debug-update-non-oss | openSUSE-13.2-Update-Debug-Non-Oss | No | Yes
5 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-13.2-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes
6 | repo-oss | openSUSE-13.2-Oss | Yes | Yes
7 | repo-source | openSUSE-13.2-Source | No | Yes
8 | repo-update | openSUSE-13.2-Update | Yes | Yes
9 | repo-update-non-oss | openSUSE-13.2-Update-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes

The output above shows that all the databases have been changed to version 13.1.
The following command updates the repository list:

sudo zypper ref

We strongly recommend that you run this upgrade when TMUX is under what circumstances the upgrade process should be upgraded against X session errors. The main openSUSE library of the TMUX package is available.
Run the following command to install:

sudo zypper in tmux

Upgrade now. Enter the following command on the terminal to switch to TMUX:

tmux

Enter the following command to start the upgrade on the terminal:

sudo zypper dup

After the upgrade, restart your system to run the new version openSUSE 13.2.
As mentioned above, check the current version of openSUSE and run the following command:

cat /etc/os-release
