Proper way to update KDE4 4.3.5 to 4.4.4

English Applications
1

I searched every which way I could to find this out, but to no avail. Can anyone address this query?

2

Add the repo
This assumes you use 11.2

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2

You can add that via software management or from su - terminal with

zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.2/ kde4factory

then

zypper ref

accept licence

then

zypper dup -r kde4factory
3

One-click install may be the easiest solution. You can check it out on the wiki here. Use the Factory install for 11.2.

Edit: A little slow on the draw today. The above works as well.

Excellant! Thanks for the help. I’ll check both of the ideas. I’m sure one of them will work.

5

I also tried using the terminal as suggested here.

Got this:

Problem: nothing provides redland needed by kdebase4-runtime-4.4.4-212.1.i586
Solution 1: keep obsolete kdebase4-runtime-4.3.5-0.1.2.i586
Solution 2: break kdebase4-runtime by ignoring some of its dependencies

Please post your repo list

zypper lr -d

Sure,

redland is in OSS

Check yourself in software management

9

If I simply run zypper dup, and I have a very long list of things to update, upgrade, and such, won’t it solve it anyway?

I am not following on what exactly I should check on software management. However, I opened it up and it offers to autoinstall k3b-lang and kdebase4-runtime-xine from 4.4.4.

10

That’s OK
Search for redland
Is it installed. Make sure it is.

11

it is not, strangely. So I will install it and then perform the upgrade, i’ll report back. thanks

edit: here’s the same issue again.

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c] (c):

and this is mighty strange, because it is relatively a fresh install and all I did with it is “zypper update” and installing very few applications.

Earlier you gave us this list
You need to remove repo 1 (libdvdcss)
Also ideally, repo 5 too (unless you can explain what it is)

As for this

Just go thru the list and search for the issues in software manager, check the box rpm provides.

repo 5 is the repo I had to add in order to install nvidiaglx (propriety driver, since I have issues with nouveau, the opensource driver). I mean, at least this is I think what I had to do. It’s the only package I found through Yast that had the current propriety driver, and obviously it asked me to add that repo. Now, unless I’m doing something wrong, which I’m not sure if I do or not, that is the logical course of action I took.

I’ll report back. thanks again.

14

OK. Well leave #5 for now

15

I decided, since it is a fairly new install, to simply zypper dup it, let it handle it how it likes to, or break it; I don’t terribly mind really.

It works well in kde 4.4.4. now. No glitches, even Nvidia works properly after the upgrade, which did not succeed some other time I tried this.

Weird side effects:
Opera 10.60 beta downgraded to 10.10 stable
in Konsole, instead of the user name it gives me the time:
06:24 linux-esaa:~ >

but nothing else appears out of the ordinary at the moment.

I’m an ubuntu and debian user, really, zypper and Yast are pretty hard to grasp I think…

16

Did you reboot?

Strange about the terminal…never seen that…

17

Happened to me when I did zypper dup on a previous install, too. But after a fresh install, right after, while not upgrading to 4.4.4.

Yes I rebooted.
Some issue persists with smooth tasks but i’ll work on that one

18

You should probably try doing this on the 444 repo
ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing

And then on packman

19

the first one; I can’t find that GUI. - edit, ok, view, repositories. ok got it

Yeah, I used cli to install smooth tasks again and it drew it from the kde4.3 repo, so I used Yast to manually draw it from the kde factory repo and it works now. Is that what you’re suggesting it would do automatically now?

20

I don’t know quite what you are saying. kde4.3??
If you are suggesting you have used some old repo to get this. I suggest you use:
Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE4_Factory_Desktop
