Can't Upgrade to KDE 4.2 - dependancies Issues

[nivosh]

Hi.
Tried to use the OneClick method of upgrade to kde 4.2 from 4.1.3 but yast have found alot of dependencies issues.

I am no expert so i canceled the whole thing until I'll get an expert advise.

so what should i do? What is the best way to upgrade Kde?

thanks

Go here, follow the link, download the video, read carefully

Yast - Software Management -Update All_HowTo - openSUSE Forums

[caf4926]

I assume here you are OS11.1
Basically use update all unconditionally from the new kde4 desktop repo

you may also need the QT repo, I did

Index of /repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.1

FYI, the kde factory ones are

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/Extra-Apps/openSUSE_11.1

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_UNSTABLE_Desktop
========================================

If you used a oneclick you may need to delete the repo's it added and the above ones in

You may need to delete some packages by dependency. Or post the errors here, there is a save to file option.

Hi.
caf4926, I have followed your advice and updated the repositories you stated.

i went into yast and checked that all the packaged to be updated are in blue.
i moved on to install if new version exist and i got so many dependencies issues i do know what to do.

should i use the unconditional method?

here are some of the dependencies:

You can ignore the dependencies to start with. Then redo it after rebooting.
Also you MUST remove any other KDE4 repose you have.
I often find doing the update in a console easier to monitor if you want it open a console type su then root pass then zypper up -l (the minus l is to accept any license questions)

Good luck

Hi Geoff.
i did the zypper thing as you instructed, it downloaded about 75 MB.
after that i did a reboot, looged in and checked the KDE version, and i am still on the 4.1.3 one...

i did again the zypper thing and it told me:

there is nothing to do

now what?

[caf4926]

Open Yast - Software Management again

check what color you have in the kde4.2 repo
update all unconditionally.

Previously you should have chosen not to install like this

[nivosh]

caf4986,
I followed the instructions and where ever there was a dependency issue i choose to deinstall the package.
i did an upgrade from the unstable kde repo.

about 300 mb was downloaded.
after the download i did a reboot.
the system looged on but plasma-workspace has crashed.
now i dont have a working desktop.

how can i fix the error?

[caf4926]

CLI login then do:

mv /home/uernme/.kde4 .kde4old

reboot

earlier you only listed 2 items which I discussed deletion for. if you had a much longer list you might have been better posting it here first.

see how you get on with the above
it will give a New kde4 settings all your old settings will be in .kde4old
