Following along in my line of “Readers Digest” versions of the official Opensuse upgrades procedures (here are a couple of my past ones:&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=169 11.1],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=333 11.2],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=812 11.4],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=948 12.1],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=954 12.2],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=1052 12.3],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=1081 13.1],&nbsp;[http://yourlinuxguy.com/?p=1151 13.2]), here’s the latest for upgrading in-place from Opensuse&nbsp;'''13.2'''&nbsp;to Leap&nbsp;'''42.3'''&nbsp;below.&nbsp; Just be sure to run each of these lines one-at-a-time, not like a script.

And please… if you don’t know what you’re doing, please don’t do this.&nbsp; This process does not take many special conditions into account, since it is a simplified version.&nbsp; There’s a link at the end for the official documented instructions if you need further help.&nbsp; Now, let’s get to it:
<div style="background:#eee;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:5px 10px;">#<br/> # Make a snapshot before you proceed!<br/> # Run the following as the root user, or insert all your sudo commands if you like<br/> # Please ensure you have space to do an upgrade!<br/> df -h<br/> # If you can, do a final update (if the repos still exist)...<br/> zypper ref;zypper up<br/> # Now check your repos. Look for anything custom, and note it for later if so...<br/> zypper lr --url<br/> # Now, we actually do the UPGRADE…<br/> # Disable all the old repos...<br/> zypper modifyrepo --all --disable<br/> # Now set up the new repos for 42.3...<br/> zypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.3-Update' [http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/oss/] repo-42.3-update<br/> zypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.3-Update-Non-Oss' [http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.1/non-oss/] repo-42.3-update-non-oss<br/> zypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.3-OSS' [http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/oss/] repo-42.3-oss<br/> zypper addrepo --check --refresh --name 'openSUSE-42.3-Non-OSS' [http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/non-oss/ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.1/repo/non-oss/] repo-42.3-non-oss<br/> # Verify that the repos look right<br/> zypper lr --uri<br/> # Import the keys for the repos and refresh the local cache…<br/> zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys ref<br/> # Do a Distribution UPgrade... and I like the option to download all the packages first, before installation...<br/> zypper dup --download-in-advance<br/> # Now, make a list of the old disabled repos; they might be a combination of 12.3 and 12.2 on some systems, if they weren't cleaned before...&nbsp; Whoops... &nbsp;;)<br/> zypper lr<br/> # Remove all the old repos, for example...<br/> zypper rr repo-13.1-non-oss repo-13.1-oss repo-13.1-updates repo-13.1-updates-non-oss repo-13.2-non-oss repo-13.2-oss repo-13.2-updates repo-13.2-updates-non-oss repo-update-non-oss download.opensuse.org-13.1-non-oss download.opensuse.org-non-oss download.opensuse.org-oss download.opensuse.org-update<br/> # And now that the upgrade is done, add back any custom repos at this point (optional, depends on your environment)<br/> # One more check to be sure that only the desired 42.1 repos remain...<br/> zypper lr --uri<br/> # And reboot (and watch from a console)...<br/> init 6</div> 
My advice is to make sure you have multiple terminal sessions during the upgrade, in case something goes a little strange, and make sure you have space for the kernel and all the files. Thanks to the folks at Suse, and here’s the “long and detailed” guide that I adapted this from:<br/> [https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Distribution-Upgrade https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Distribution-Upgrade]
