How to upgrade OpenSUSE 15.1 to 15.2 using the CLI

It is important to note that, OpenSUSE 15.1 and 15.2 are not the latest releases, and are not supported anymore. Upgrading to a newer version of OpenSUSE is recommended. Also, it’s important to backup your data and to test the upgrade in a non-production environment before upgrading a production system.

To upgrade OpenSUSE to a newer version, you can use the command-line interface (CLI) by following these steps:

  1. First, ensure that your system is up-to-date by running the command “sudo zypper update”
  2. Next, you will need to add the repository of the new version, you can do this by running the command “sudo zypper ar -f <repository_url>”
  3. Once the repository is added, you can update the system by running the command “sudo zypper dup”
  4. During the upgrade process, you will be prompted to confirm the installation of new packages and to resolve any conflicts.
  5. After the upgrade process is complete, you will need to reboot your system by running the command “sudo reboot”
  6. You can check your version by running the command “lsb_release -a”

It’s important to note that, upgrading a system can be a complex process and that it can cause problems if not done correctly. It’s recommended to backup your data and to test the upgrade in a non-production environment before upgrading a production system.

Additionally, it’s recommended to check if there are any known issues before upgrading and to check the release notes of the new version.
