Extra/KDE_Relese_411_openSUSE_12.3 repo has lesser version appps than does /repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_12.3/.
I’ve compared both and again, if there are ver no diffs, the new one is in /openSUSE_12.3.
And when I’ve tried it (Release_411) I have ‘a Hundred’ More apps needing to be ‘downgraded’…
The Only things I had to intervien on, using the ~/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_12.3/ were Calligra 2.7 and Okular 4.5. I chose to ‘keep’ old Okular and ‘new’ Calligra, then when updaate was done, updated Okular to 4.11…
*note: if you only have libreoffice and have not installed KDE’s Calligra, you most likely wont have this issue.
Upon restarting after YaST Upgrade, appupdater ran and asked to update a few apps and their dependencies.
screen shots of what i saw during upgrade from 4.10 (4.5 org install) to 4.11 including dependencies issue and my YaST2 and Zypper Repository Lists.
One other snag was the kate-python plugin. chose to 'keep kate 4.11.2-5.1 and uninstall the python plugin. After upgrade, choosing to install the kate-python-plugin still want to ‘down grade’ kate to 4.10… I don’t program python. I only need php, sql, css, html*, javascript, snippet, xml, temp, etc… so no big deal to me.
I’m not saying my way is the ‘right way’… God knows, I don’t know much. I’m just saying that this way was simple and it Worked… at least on my system which is hugely customized and loaded with probably too many apps. All KDE = 4.11.x
the only thing i’ve never been able to figure out, when my installed version is higher than the available version has this source: vendor obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE (installed)… ??? hmmm (some of networkmanager, a few other libs and small apps like plasmoid-quickaccess and polkit-kde*)
LandisTwo.
p.s., there is a bug in 4.11 that others have also reported: group / ungroup apps in Task Manager CRASHes plasma-workspace (desktop)… Every Time!
Also, all the sites (i edit web pages via konqueror using kate) you’ve stored user/pw for in kwallet, will have to be ‘re-authorized’'… No biggie, i guess.
Also, some ‘custom’ file associations (actions) are missing. eg, right-click image dir (from within), open in geeqie is gone, but still available in context menu on dir folder and on image file it’s self.
p.s. Positive remarks: on this system (an ‘old’ dell latitude, duo-core 2.6, 4 gb ram, second 1440 or 1920 dpi monitor depending on what room i’m in) switching between desktops and or displays seem smoother and Much quicker… so it seems.,
BUT… in system settings (‘configure desktop’, user preferences) the Display Applet is Info Only. There is NO configuration functionality… It’s a white box with 2 black monitor icons of diff size a blue ‘i’ (info) dot in lower right corner, clicking on it Identifies the displays… This might be due to my having nVidia installed? I hope not, because I Don’t like their configurator…
