OpenSuse 11.0 and KDE 4.1

Hi everybody.

Sorry if i put this question in a wrong channel but like kde 4.1 its in pre-release i thought that this is the place.

The thing is that i love opensuse 11.0, its the only distro that fits very well my hardware and works really stable in that way, but i don’t wanna use the old kde 3.5 and really don’t wanna use the 4.0.

Since i tasted kde 4.1 the thing was other world, i really like it!, besides that its still a bit incomplete, the desktop really works for me and do everything that i expect.

So, i wanna keep updating my desktop but leaving the opensuse 11.0 as base for a while.

I have downloaded the KDE Live at “KDE Four Live” CD](http://home.kde.org/~binner/kde-four-live/) and perform an install to disk and the thing works beautiful (besides a few things).

I have already added the kde factory repos an kde community repos of opensuse, so what do i am missing to keep updating the desktop but leaving alone the base?

Very thanks in advance.

You’ll most likely just want to activate the main repo’s (OSS and non-OSS) update repo, add the KDE 4.1 repo and maybe videolan, pacman and if you need it you GFX card repo.

kde4:factory:desktop repo requires Qt from this repo:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0/

That might be what you’re missing if you get Qt related dependency errors when trying to update.

I loaded opensuse with kde 4.0 when I originally loaded opensuse 11. I wouldn’t consider myself an early-adopter as I’m still farily new to linux but since I already have kde 4.0 I’m thinking I should update to 4.1. Is there any reason to believe that a system working with kde 4.0 could break when updated to 4.1?

I was thinking of switching to gnome until I realized skype did not work when running gnome but was fine with kde.

I upgraded to 4.1 from suse 11.0 version of KDE4. Everything went fine.
