I have added two repos KDE current and extra, but don’t know what command I should use to upgrade my current 4.11 to 4.13. Thank you.
You will have to wait for the Current-13.1 repository to be populated with 4.13.
Then “zypper dup -r kde:Current-13.1 -r kde:Extra-Current-13.1” modified to what you have called the repositories.
But those repos are populated with 4.12.4 at the moment.
You can upgrade to that by that “zypper dup” line, but change “kde:Extra-Current-13.1” to how you actually named that repo.
Then do the same for the KDE:Extra repo.
Or you can do that in YaST as well.

If in doubt, please post your repo list:
zypper lr -d
OK. Thank you. Do we have an estimated date for KDE 4.13 to opensuse 13.1, since it’s already a stable DE version?
It says my added repo is not a correct URI
I followed this opensuse instruction
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_upgrade
zypper ar -f [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/49/openSUSE_13.1/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/49/openSUSE_12.1/) KR49
This link can’t be opened, even if I change 12.1 to 13.1. It says I successfully added the repo, but later when I do “dup” it says this repo is not correct.
ok I find the correct link: SDB:KDE repositories - openSUSE Wiki
It’s scheduled on 25 Apr (source: the official mailing list).
Additionally I want to say, that it was decided to be done that way to lower the possibility of problems in KDE:Current for the upgrade to 4.13.
The upgrade is tested first in KDE:Distro:Factory and packaging issues will be solved there, before moving the packages to KDE:Current.
The next 4.13.x updates can be expected to be in KDE:Current on the day of upstream’s release as usual (those are only bugfix releases anyway).
And 4.13.0 is available in Current now.
Thanks for the link. It was interesting, and I would have liked to have read it before I upgraded first a test machine, then this laptop.
The only not-good things that I have noticed are the lack of “Desktop Search” in “System Settings” and all Knotes notes disappeared in the migration. I wish I had not been so gung-ho, and taken a snapshot (btrfs), before agreeing to the Knotes migration request.
Your notes should still be in the old location: ~/.kde4/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics
You could try to manually run “knotes-migrator --interactive”, or at least copy/paste the notes content (notes.ics is just a text file) if the migration does not work.
I have yet to see myself whether it works here, akonadi is still migrating its database. (it just finished, so I will report back in a minute or so…)
System Settings > Desktop Search is provided by the package “baloo-file”. Do you have this installed?
But the only option in there at the moment is to select directories that shoud not be indexed.
If you don’t have baloo-file installed, you also have no need to exclude directories from indexing, as no file indexing will be done anyway.
Probably your notes collection is just not enabled. Try to right-click on the KNotes icon, choose “Configure KNotes”, and activate them in “Collections”.
But in my case, the notes really did not get migrated. I suppose that’s because they already have been migrated by an earlier version (I get the old notes from back then in KNotes now).
Not sure yet, how I can force a new migration.
Exactly same issue. Just upgrade to KDE 4.13 and, after reboot, KNotes ask me about “Migrate”, “Do not migrate” and something more. I choose “Migrate”, and it advice me about it will take a long time … but it was quick (I have only about 14 notes). Knotes however was not active, so I launched it manually and … where are my notes???
I have the file ~/.kde4/share/apps/knotes/notes.ics and I just tried “knotes-migrator --interactive”, but only a progress bar appeared after “Accept” in a empty window (no messages showed).
I checked “Notas” in “Collections” thru Knotes config, but no change. My notes doesn’t appear.
Baloo_file and baloo_akonadi_indexer are working.
What’s failing?
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333640#c32
I found a workaround:
The migration apparently fails because the old KNotes KRessource is missing in 4.13, so the migrator cannot read the old notes.
If you copy over the files /usr/share/kde4/services/kresources/knotes/local.desktop and /usr/lib64/kde4/knotes_local.so to your system, the migration completes successfully.
I took the files from the knotes-4.11.5 RPM in the update repo:
32bit:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/i586/knotes-4.11.5-464.1.i586.rpm
64bit:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.1/x86_64/knotes-4.11.5-464.1.x86_64.rpm
Just extract them with Ark f.e. and copy them to your system folders.
Then delete the file ~/.kde4/share/config/knotes-migratorrc and run “knotes-migrator --interactive” and your notes should be migrated to Akonadi.
When you start knotes the first time afterwards, it will still ask whether you want to migrate your notes. Choose “Migrate Now” and start it again, and your notes should be available.
This hit me but I always keep a backup in a standard text file
So no problem
Thanks a lot, this helped my migrate my notes. It’s a bit strange that I now have 3 collections ans all of them are calles “Notes”, but I think that’s ok…
You can add/remove Notes collections in KDE’s Systemsettings (“Configure Desktop”)->Personal Information->Configure Akonadi Resource.
Click on “Edit” to see what folder they point to.
You can rename them in “akonadiconsole” if you want to, or in kjots which is another KDE note taking application, but it got migrated to akonadi some time ago already.
Please note, that the notes themselves will note get deleted if you remove the corresponding akonotes resource. So you can just add a new one and point it to the correct folder, if you remove the wrong one by mistake.
So much helpful information in just one post 
Didn’t know about the akonadi system settings. So now I was able to delete the unused resources.
Thanks again!
Btw, regarding the renaming of notes collections:
KNotes should get the possibility to do that in 4.14, see 334142 – configure knotes collections are not distinguishible.
I do hope that they will add an option to add/remove collections as well.
