After changing the KDE openSUSE repositories from 4.10 to 4.11 many packages that where in the 4.10 repository are now missing from the 4.11 repository. Those packages are available as downgrade from the openSUSE OSS repository.
No problem found going from 4.10 to 4.11, on pc’s or laptops
those shown in red were not interpreted as downgrades,
only different numbering systems,
looking at the issue date of the version change is a better indication
NB. openSUSE, KDE, Tumbleweed, Packman … etc have large number differences in
versions to avoid potential overlapping
Which ones do you mean exactly?
Some got superseeded by other packages, some you should downgrade to the standard repo’s versions, some may have been missed.
I personally don’t use the KDE:Release:* repos anymore at the moment, so I just don’t know.
But I might be able to give clues…
are you booting to plasma from the desktop manager login screen?
if yes, try renaming directory /home/<username>/.kde4/ then reboot,
(reset of desktop will be necessary)
if this does not help change back to original name
There where many packages. They are listed in the screenshot I posted above.
Some packages where easy to switch to KDE (downgrade as well as upgrade). Many packages that was in the KDE 4.10 repository are no longer in the KDE 4.11 repository and thus must be downgraded with the packages in the openSUSE OSS repository. Why aren’t all the packages that KDE requires within the KDE repository anymore?
Examples.
Virtuoso
PackageKit
k3b
kaffeine
kmymoney
krename
liblastfm1 (needed by amarok)
libredland0 (needed by several KDE packages
etc.
Just downgrade them, they’re the same versions anyway.
And some of them are not even in [noparse]KDE:Release:410[/noparse] either.
etc.
For “etc.” I cannot tell, but I guess it’s safe to downgrade them all as well.
If you get conflicts then, better ask again with the exact conflict message.
You’re right. Sorry.
I did check, but my internet connection played tricks on me (heavy thunderstorms here…)
But as I said, they’re the same versions anyway…
Downgrade should be no problem, but I find it curious that they are in 4.10, but not 4.11 repo.
Because KR10 was built against older (not supported anymore) openSUSE versions, where those packages were too old to build against.
For 12.3 just ignore them…
I run into the same issue, but not sure about phonon. In KDE 4.10, there has been an updated Phonon GStreamer package, which gets to be downgraded when switching back to OSS.
I don’t know if that was just forgotten or omitted on purpose…
The package’s changelog contains this:
- Update to 4.6.3
* bugfix release
* Increased compatability with Phonon versions older than 4.7
* Proper setting of the user-agent for HTTP streams
* Abortion of in-progress fades when a fader effect is asked to
fade again
* Less CPU hogging when streaming
* Fixed playback of discs on multi-drive setups
* Much improved non-gapless playback for shorter sound files
* Graceful handling of a broken setup that causes a failed
gst_init() call
Most of the items can be ignored I think (like f.e. compatibility with phonon < 4.7).
But IMHO if you think this update is worth having, it should be reported at http://bugzilla.novell.com/ and released as online update for 12.3 (and maybe for 12.2 as well).
Hi.
I have a problem after updating KDE to 4.11. I set in preferences keyboard layout switch key (Left Win), but it doesn’t work, it switching always only with Ctrl+Shift.
When I right click on tray icon of layout and press preferences it shows an error (http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5862/hvpo.png). But if I go there through main menu it shows preferences, saves changes, but again work only with Ctrl+Shift.
I still had some issues with calligra and a couple others that were not in 4.10 distro, but have dependencies on KDE core files and libs… but i’m working on it.
