Can't Upgrade to KDE 4.2 - dependancies Issues

English Install/Boot/Login
1

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

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?

7

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

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?

9

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

here is the rest of the dependencies:

I just see they are in the throws of syncing updates to 4.2 unstable, so it may pay to wait.
Install kde3 too if you haven’t already, and disable auto login!!

I have installed kde4-konqueror-plugins-4.1.3-1.33.i586
and installed compiz-kde 4 ignoring the dependencies.

looged out and back in. still no change.
plasma crashes.

looged into my previous working kde 3 menager and now i have problems there too. the upper panel of all the windows is missing so i can’t minimize/close them.

Why is the upgrade creates these problems?

15

Did you try this??

16

Manay of the dependency are due to plasmoids being now in one different package. It’s safe to just uninstall the old ones to get rid of those deps.

Can you please provide a walk-through?
i am really no expert…

If you look in Yast Software Management
filter by repo
system - scroll all packages: How many are Red and or Blue

One of the errors you reported earlier ‘powerdevil’ for eg; If you search for it, the only available version is from oss repo. I do not have it installed. But I do have powerdevil, it seems to be integrated now.

This is true with many plasmoids. Any old oss stuff (4.1.3 versions) need deleting. Unless there is a 4.1.87 version

You may still need to do the re-name I refered to earlier of the hidden .kde4

I have “blufish” in red and about 15 others in blue from the “system” repo.

success!!!

the creation of a new KDE folder did the trick.

now, how do i import all the old settings?
do i need to build them from scratch or is there faster approach?
