Hi,
I guess this is a fairly common question, but being an openSUSE newcomer I’m having troubles. I added openSUSE Tumbleweed repo and did a
zypper dup
in order to update. Hundreds of packages were installed, so far so good.
Now I’m puzzled on what’s the next move. I found a GNOME Tumbleweed repo: adding it and doing another zypper dup installs 3.0.2 packages but, when I reboot, I end with a fallback GNOME3 and several application (such as YaST) are deleted. Since I didn’t find a proper tutorial, can someone point me to the right direction please?
I will asume that you have a desktop either KDE or something.
Stage 1:
add this repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed:/GNOME/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/openSUSE:Tumbleweed:GNOME.repo using Yast just copy the name and URL and of course accept the key. If you have the 11.4 repo remove it. Set the repos priority to 98 and then run sudo zypper refresh and sudo zypper dup to upgrade Stage 2: dont reboot the system, not yet; some packages may not get upgraded and thats why you need to follow this tutorial here Installing Gnome 3 over a KDE Based OpenSuse 11.4 Installation – Matthew Casperson’s Blog at the Hubfolio on Bright Hub
Stage 3: you can reboot the PC and enjoy Gnome 3.0.2/3
