The next screen will display the progress of the downloading and updating according to the patches you have selected. Some packages may require you to agree to licensing terms or may have additional instructions on how to proceed with the update these are the patches that may be skipped by a fully automatic update. You will see a checkbox near the bottom that says "Remove Source Packages after Update"; check that box if you do not want to keep the source packages. Leaving the box blank will save the source package so you can reinstall it later should you ever need to.
This option should be selected if you want to save disk space. Once the download is complete the Finish button in the bottom right corner will become active. Click it and you will be taken to a new screen. This screen shows the progress as various systems are restarted so the new updates can be integrated with your system. We recommend that you disable all OBS repositories first, perform the upgrade, then reenable them. The following steps show you how to update your openSUSE distribution to the current packages before upgrading to the next version.
Zypper dup can now better handle extra repositories during upgrade. Removing a repository causes the problem that every package that was installed from it will revert to another repository if found , or deleted, or left at the old version, depending on the administrator choices. It may be a better method to leave the repository active. A typical example would be Packman. However, a system upgrade can be the perfect occasion to remove some repositories, as too many repositories complicates maintenance.
For example, suppose we have some Xfce or Plasma repository we activated to get newer versions say we needed a feature or correct a problem that was handled in a newer version : now would be the perfect occasion to revert to the mainline version.
It would be the chance to consider removing all HOME repositories that we really do not need. Each repo we remove will cause zypper to ask what to do with packages installed from them: keep or upgrade with vendor change. The policy would be "keep" if we intend to add back the repository after system upgrade, or "update" otherwise.
We could use "--allow-vendor-change" but this may have unintended consequences as zypper will then evaluate if any package would be better to obtain a version from another repo, considering the priorities they have. If it exists and has been enabled, continue to step 3.
This is covered in depth in the Release notes. As a result of storing data that is mostly redundant but highly volatile, the amount of disk space a snapshot occupies can increase very fast. This often fails and throw annoying error notifications.
If you don't want to use it, run the following commands:. The update applet resides in the notification area of the panel. Its icon changes depending on the availability and relevance of patches and the status of the update. Icon visibility: By default, the update applet icon is only visible in the notification area, if patches are available. Click an entry in the upper right section to view details about the respective package that is included in the patch. The YaST Online Update dialog allows you to either install all available patches at once or manually select the desired patches.
You may also revert patches that have been applied to the system. By default, all new patches except optional ones that are currently available for your system are already marked for installation. They will be applied automatically once you click Accept or Apply. If one or multiple patches require a system reboot, you will be notified about this before the patch installation starts. You can then either decide to continue with the installation of the selected patches, skip the installation of all patches that need rebooting and install the rest, or go back to the manual patch selection.
To automatically apply all new patches except optional ones that are currently available for your system, click Apply or Accept. Use the respective filters and views that the interface provides. For details, refer to Section Select or deselect patches according to your needs and wishes by right-clicking the patch and choosing the respective action from the context menu. Do not deselect any security -related patches without a very good reason.
These patches fix severe security hazards and prevent your system from being exploited. Most patches include updates for several packages. To change actions for single packages, right-click a package in the package view and choose an action. To confirm your selection and apply the selected patches, proceed with Apply or Accept.
Your system is now up-to-date. You may configure automatic updates with a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule with YaST.
