I have an openSUSE 11.3 system happily running KDE 4.4.4, and want to add Gnome desktop as an option. I go into YAST->S/W Mgmt->Patterns and click on ‘Gnome Desktop Environment’ and get this warning - “pattern:gnome-11.3-22.1.x86_64 requires patterns-openSUSE-gnome, but this requirement cannot be provided” (screenshot [here](<a href=“http://www.imagebam.com/image/1d4fb6105311301” target="_blank">)). It looks like the conflict is with patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure, which lists the Gnome RPM and pulseaudio as conflicts.
Questions: Is this only for bookkeeping purposes, or is there really a conflict having both desktops on one system? (I would hope not!)
Will I have conflicts with pulseaudio? (I know I can disable it)
If I want to go ahead, should I just select deinstallation of the …_pure RPM?
TIA
