[Swlug] Remote SWLUG on Jitsi tonight Tuesday 21 June 2022 at 7pm BST

[Daniel Morris]

Hi Huw,

Most have been pretty flawless, apply any missing/current patches, set
releasever=15.4, 'zypper ref; zypper dup'. I think I've one machine that
I've updated from about 12.x or 13.1 (never get around to nuke & pave). I
add the DVD iso as a local repo, slurping a WiFi hotspot or using my
mobile's generous limit. Pretty much these instructions:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade

One system had a bit of drama losing the connection, about 800 packages
left to apply with 1100 done. Problem was zypper executable was hosed with
"zypper: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libzypp.so.1722: undefined
symbol:...".  I just scp'd the libzypp and zypper packages from the DVD
image over and applied with rpm, and they restarted the 'zypper dup'. It
saved a 600 mile round-trip, or having to 'fess up to a colleague and do a
rollback :)

Tumbleweed for a year was fun but just too much churn for my day-day,
especially now with metered bandwidth.
