After today evening’s Xorg or KDE 4.1.2-update comes bad problem!
Gui jum! Plasma palk at the bottom crash and GUI expire all!
Help please!
and warning others!
I’m having problems as well. Plasma has frozen completely, I can’t click anything. The buttons are all over the place. The system tray icons are all on top of each other. It is using 20% of my CPU and 100-200 MB of RAM (it has barely ever even been a blip on my RAM or CPU usage before). I tried deleting my plasma configuration settings but it didn’t do anything. The problem is happening on two different computers.
Same problem here, too. 
FWIW, the servers went down for a while.
The problem isn’t with installing an update, the problem is that plasma is broken after the update is complete.
No problem here
Do not trust kDE4 for now I use still KDE3 or Gnome in opensue
Because get problems too with KDE4 in opensuse

Got taken out by a bad kde4 update too. Any fix? Most waiting for the repos to update and hope zypper will fix us?
It has never been broken for me. There has been a new update recently, if doesn’t fix your problems start to give more info…
zypper -v ve
zypper se -s -r kde4_factory_desktop | fgrep '(System Packages)'
- Gfx card?
- If using binary drivers: version? From repository?
To start with.
“zypper -v ve” returns no problems except that a dependency for squidGuard is ignored: It wants squid2 but works fine with squid3, too.
“zypper se -s -r kde4_factory_desktop | fgrep ‘(System Packages)’” returns that the repository is not found (I am using openSUSE 11.0 x86_64 with the additional KDE4.1 repositories).
It seems plasma works fine in the first seconds after logging in. I can use the start menu to start programs and interact with plasmoids.
This changes as soon as autostart kicks in. Plasma takes up 80% CPU (slowly increasing) and hangs. I can use previously started programs but cannot interact with plasma, not even the desktop background refreshes after moving a window.
I have a NVidia 8800 GTS 640 MB and use the 177.80 drivers (non-repository). They worked for some time before the update and still work fine when using other display managers. I have not enabled desktop effects in KDE.
These are my repositories, note that some repos, including all KDE4.0, are disabled.

One thing is for sure
you have way too many repos
you should only need one of the QT repo’s
most are using QT (some use QT44)
You don’t need VLC enabled
you only need ONE package from VLC: libdvdcss
====================================================
These are the 4.1 repo’s I use

Index of /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0
Extra:

I updated on the 28th and that was what broke my desktop. Nothing for kde4 is showing up in refreshing zypper today (yet).
zypper -v ve
Comes back clean.
zypper se -s -r kde4_factory_desktop | fgrep '(System Packages)'
Not found. I am using the factory:desktop repo. I may add the community one after work and see if that will find a plasma update.
- Gfx card?
Laptop - Nvidia Quatro
- If using binary drivers: version? From repository?
From Nvidia repo

kde4_factory_desktop is the name I have for the repo, put whatever name do you use.
I though it was just a “recompile the driver” problem. It seems it isn’t.
I experienced the same problem, and I believe it all boils down to the system tray. Notice that it is always the case regardless of a new or existing user account.
I will try removing the system tray by hand from my plasma-appletsrc and see if that’s the culprit.

Seems to return only Qt packages. Some important looking packages listed when not using fgrep:

i | kdelibs4 | package | 4.1.2-49.1 | x86_64 | KDE 4.1 Core Desktop

i | libplasma1 | package | 4.0.4-24.95 | x86_64 | KDE 4.1 Core Desktop
The version reported by libplasma1 is suspicious. libplasma1* are the only packages across all KDE4.1 repositories having a version beginning with 4.0.4*. :sarcastic:
Maybe the KDE4.0 version slipped into the 4.1 repository?
I just downloaded the latest kernel on the update on Oct/28/2008 at 19:50. I rebooted my laptop after the update as indicated by yast-up2date. The laptop follows the normal boot process for run level 3 “so that I can install the proper nVidia Driver” loading the kernel then the daemons. When the last daemon has loaded as listed in the /etc/init.d/rc3.d/ directory. OpenSuse 11 hanges at this point. I am unable to get past this point. I can boot the laptop in single user mode and turn off daemons but this has no affect. What did this latest kernel do to my laptop? It appears that I will have to recover my laptop from backup. I should not have to this kernel update should not have done this. Has any one else experienced this same problem? Of is this a unique issue to just my Laptop?

The KDE from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop is compiled against the Qt from the same repository (at least for openSUSE 11.0).
Ideally should not be problems. But if you run appA, compiled against libB, using libC the result can be anything…
So, change all these Qt4 packages to the version from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop.
I also have libplasma1-4.0.4-24.95 installed, and there are no problems (GeForce FX 7600GT with 177.80 driver).
That works, problem solved! Thanks a lot! 
Does this mean removing all the Qt4 repositories? (I can’t really run tests till tonight) If not, which ones should be removed?
