[sle-beta] SLES gnome-session-failed for SLES 12sp3 -> 15 via zypper dup

[Bahi, David]

A fresh install, using the Installer ISO and SLP for Packages + SLED / base / desktop_applications, made no difference.

Same result with a vncserver invocation (5901 - not the yast2 enable remote administration port 5900 thing) :

"Connection refused"

"cannot open display".

Nothing to do with firewall and this bz:

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1081952

as firewall was entirely disabled for this attempt (because there's no Yast2 tool for configuring it yet).

Hi,

“zypper dup” is not a supported method to upgrade to Major SLE version,
thus not supported to upgrade from SLES 12 SP3 to SLES 15.

This is only supported for Service Pack Migration of a SLE version, and note
even in this case we recommend to use “zypper migration” instead
https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/singlehtml/book_sle_deployment/book_sle_deployment.html#sec.update.migr.zypper.onlinemigr

Note:
This is not new with SLE15, the same statement are true for migrating from SLE
11 to SLE 12. cf https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles-12/singlehtml/book_sle_deployment/book_sle_deployment.html#sec.update.sle.methods

VNC session is just black... Is this a Wayland / X-display permissions issue ? Here's the log.
