Now type: yast
hit enter

This will/should start yast in basic mode (keyboard navigation)
If you have not changed the repos as I suggested, do that first. Then in software management do the unconditional update.

As an alternative way, Some users have run the terminal commands

zypper ref

zypper dup

with success.

THANKS A LOT caf4926! Seriously man, you are a linux genious. Using zypper ref and zypper dup perfectly worked out. If not a secret, what do those commands do? Set the packages to the factory factory default?
Edited: Sorry, I am in a hurry right now. Will come back for discussion tomorrow morning. Thanks a lot again.

zypper ref = refresh repo's
zypper dup = distribution update

more zypper info here: Zypper/Usage/11.1 - openSUSE

That's pretty useful in case if I mess up again
Btw, I still wasn't able to upgrade my KDE, although I deleted #3 and #4, just like you said Here is the conflicts log - Conflicts list - nopaste.com (beta) and the zypper lr -u -p output:

The answer is to check the following:

[X] Following actions will be done:
do not install compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.1.i586
downgrade of compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.1.i586 to compiz-kde4-0.7.8-8.1.i586
install compiz-kde4-0.7.8-8.1.i586 (with vendor change)
openSUSE

[X] deinstallation of digikamimageplugins-0.9.4-51.18.i586

This one is Dependant on if you want to keep the older amarok,
which might be better, so the answer is
[X] do not install amarok-2.0.2-3.1.i586


[X] replacement of kde4-gwenview-4.1.3-4.7.i586 with gwenview-4.2.3-3.1.i586
