cannot update opensuse ( client cpp 196) message

I reinstalled Suse and when itry to update I get a pop up saying** Kdesu(3810) kdesu ( kdelibs) KDESu::KDEsuClient::command:[/usr/src/packages/BUILD/kdelibs-4.0.4/kdesu/client.cpp ::196] no reply from daemon** I am not sure of what I am supposed to do

Hi
Try it from the CLI then (console/konsole);


sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up

The first command refreshes the repositories, the second lists any
updates, the third will apply the updates.

Since your running KDE 4.0.x, there are a lot of issues with KDE4 off
the dvd install, I suggest you have a look here and upgrade to 4.1

KDE4

If not, consider dropping back to KDE3 for a more stable desktop.

Thank you for your reply this seems to be workinglol! . now How do I drop back to KDE3?

Hi
If you didn’t install it, then you need to add it via YaST-> Software
-> Software Management and set the ‘Filter’ to patterns. In that list
you will see a section called "Graphical Environments’ select the KDE3
Desktop Environment and hit the accept button.

Once installed you need to logout and down at the bottom of the screen
select session and the KDE3 one and then login. You may be asked to set
as default, just select for this session and enjoy :slight_smile:
