OpenSUSE :: Downgrade From KDE 4.5?
Sep 15, 2010
I'm using openSUSE 11.3 and yesterday I upgraded to KDE 4.5 from the KDE 4.5 stable repo. But after upgrading I faced some freeze/lock-up glitches which weren't there before. For example whenever I change the color scheme or style and press apply, the screen freezes although the mouse still moves around. I have to forcefully shut down to recover. So, I am thinking of downgrading to KDE 4.4. How do I go about doing that?
Here are the repos I'm currently using:
Code:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh
---+---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+---------+--------
1 | KDE:45 | KDE:45

I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place, if not im sorry. I want to downgrade the kernel to 2.6.32 or a little older. I see the if I add the 11.2 repo I can install 2.6.31. Will that work though? Id rather not tank my system. I need to the older kernel for better support in a app I regularly use.

11.3 has broken my Samsung mfp color laser. According to an Ubuntu forum, the problem is that the Samsung driver is incompatible with glibc 2.11. Since just about everything seems to be dependent on glibc, the only way I can envision fixing my problem is going back to 11.2 and waiting until someone comes up with a fix to the Samsung driver problem. Other than doing a clean install of 11.2, is there a simple way to downgrade back to 11.2, or at least the parts of it dependent on glibc?
Since I was able to use the update option to move from 11.2 to 11.3, can I insert the 11.2 DVD and choose update? Or, perhaps, is there a particular set of 11.2 repositories that I can add to my 11.3 repositories, choose the 2.10 version of glibc and have the dependencies work out properly? I tried adding the download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/ repository, but Yast seemed to want to change my whole KDE installation from x86_64 to i586. Is there a group of other repositories that would make the repository route work?

this is the first time I write! I am on OpenSuSE 11.3. I am using a very bugged code written by some scientists and I need it working, otherwise someone will kill me soon It was working few days ago and now it doesn't. I guess this is due to some automatic update of something that I accepted without caring too much. Python for example, or the Kernel, I have no idea so far. Now, before trying to understand what went wrong I need to know what I changed. My question is: how can I access my recent history of updates (I usually use Yast for updating)?

I was upgraded to Adobe Flash 10.2 automatically via the updater. But it's been VERY, very buggy whereas 10.1 (or whatever came before it) was very stable. How do I switch back?

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 KDE 3 Initially FireFox was absolutely fine, But recently It became utterly slow. I searched plenty of forums and tweaked the about:config and played around with ipv6. Some threads suggested downgrading some x-video thingy coz of an update sadly I haven't got a clue how to downgrade, in addition all these threads were talking about rather old OpenSuse versions. I installed the newest Nvidia driver as some suggested it might have to do with the desktop effects, actually I just turned them off (literally just this moment) and FF ran utterly quick, hmm I would like to keep em though. Does this mean i need to downgrade that xorg-X11-driver-video thingy? I don't seem to have a downgrade option I can only update delete and so on...When clicking on versions it doesn't show any of the 7.3 only 7.4s. I kind of depend on some firefox plug-ins which is why I would rather not use another browser..

I was about to reinstall the opensuse 11.1 since 11.2 was giving me trouble and ran the 'check installation media' and it turned out every disc I burn gives me 'Error Reading Sector 1891680'. This CD-ROM is broken. Looks like there is a problem with installation. I already burned like 5 different DVDs.

I am having problems with 9.10 (first and foremost it won't boot properly, opens in low graphics mode only) and wishing I'd stuck with 9.04! Only find threads that didn't get answered or closed threads (including one about 'partial upgrades', which I did after booting in low graphics mode the first time. I am new to, or at least pretty green about Ubuntu and pretty much always install any updates offered - don't shoot me) Anyhow, I am hoping to avoid a full re-installation, but is there any way of going back, downgrading to 9.04?

I have used the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 for a while and am satisfied with it. The problem is when I watch video (Bloomberg) and listen to radio at the same time, it uses up a lot of memory (My PC has 3 GB of Ram). It degrades the performance of the PC. I also read that the only reason to use a 64 bit version is when a PC has 4 GB of Ram. Therefore, I wonder if it is possible to downgrade my current 64 bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 to a 32 bit version.

Last night I upgraded to Natty 11.04 and did not like it. I downgraded to 10.10.
I'm having a problem booting to a stable kernel. 11.04 uses 2.6.38. When I downgraded to 10.10, 2.6.38 was still at the top of Grub's list. When I boot there is a big black screen with a login and password. I was able to get to Ubuntu by holding down the shift key when rebooting and booted to 2.6.35-25-generic. I would rather not have to do this every time I turn on my computer. I went to Synaptic to delete 2.6.38, and did not see the version listed. I've read a lot (but I'm not a programmer). There isn't anything obvious (from this pea brain's perspective) to fix my problem.

I'm unable to compile ruby 1.9.X and I found out it was related to openssl, although it seems there's a patch available for ruby I don't know how to apply it so I was thinking on downgrading to openssl 0.9.8n
I'm using F13 btw, I'm still posting it here as openssl 1.0.0 was first introduced on F12, the other major distros are still using openssl 0.9.8k so there's no much information on the problem

As I have not been able to resolve the problems with BackupPC after the upgrade (see post [URL]) it seems that my best option is to restore my system to the state when it was working OK and then do an upgrade to F13. I did a clean install when I upgraded to F12 and took the opportunity to reconfigure the disks to include some new drives into the RAID and LVM.
This means that the disks and partitions are not the same as when I was last running F10. I have the dumps taken at that time so I propose to install F10 from the DVD into the new structure and then restore the partitions from the dumps under single user. The new partitions are formatted ext4 and previously they were ext3, not sure if F10 supported ext4.
I know that there will be some directories and files which I must not overwrite:
/etc/fstab
/dev
some parts of /boot
I can do this with restore -i.

I am using Fedora12 and I'm running the radeon graphics driver, my card is ATi 8500 Radeon and I can't play hardly any games or use applications that require 3D Acceleration. The catalyst driver that I need for my ATi is too old to support Fedora 12 Xorg.is there a way to downgrade Xorg so I can install my cards drivers?
If there is how can I do this. If I run a 3D game of any kind It either works for a while and locks up the system where I can't even telnet into it to shut it down, or it won't start the game or App. I know I have some acceleration due to my glx gears, I could get into great detail of what I can and can't do.
Bottom line is since the video card is too old, not even the generic radeon driver allows me full freedom so there must be a way to install the other X.org without breakage
Code:
GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R200 (R200 514C) 20090101 AGP 4x TCL
GL_VERSION = 1.3 Mesa 7.7.1-DEVEL
GL_VENDOR = Tungsten Graphics, Inc.
[code]....
The R200 Radeon driver for my ATi in Fedora12 is not fully compatible with my video card, I was told this on an IRC channel a while ago, I think it stopped at Radeon 9600 ATi.

I have currently the LATEST version of Kubuntu 10.04 and I just DO NOT LIKE kde 4.. There are things I liked better in 3 than I did 4. I hate the desktop containers I hate when you turn them off and put your icons on the desktop they pop back to where they were before I just found it to have more JUNKWARE than I wanted. I just want simple KDE 3 back.
I had KUBUNTU 8.10 and thinking I was getting KDE 3 it gave me KDE 4.0.0 ( the one where the taskbar was black )
Is there a way to find to get I guess 8.04 to get KDE 3.5 back?

The result After following these instructions you'll get:
-GDM 2.20, with all the features(themes, feature complete, configurable...)
-No Plymouth, or any graphical boot (haven't found a way to run old gdm along with Plymouth)
These instructions are based on this post [URL] but they won't work on Lucid 10.04 Download GDM 2.20 on this link. Remove gdm and install the downloaded package.
Code:
sudo apt-get remove gdm
sudo dpkg -i gdm*.deb
sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf /etc/init/gdm.bak
Run these commands (related to a bug in this package):
Code:
cd /usr
sudo mkdir X11R6
cd X11R6
sudo ln -s /usr/bin bin
Disable the graphical boot (reason: Plymouth loads X, and old gdm can't connect, fixes are welcome)
-Edit /etc/default/grub and change
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"
to
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
Run:
Code:
sudo update-grub2

how is it possible to downgrade to the Ubuntu 10.04 from Ubuntu 10.10?
I have two reasons for doing it:
1. My internal microphone stopped working in new kernel (ThinkPad Egde 13')
2. New Ubuntu's look and feel is ugly.
Probably this problem may be solved with installing the theme, but it seems not to affect the font, which is the most terrible thing in new release's design. Is it possible to have the 10.04's look and feel here in 10.10?

Ubuntu 10.04 has nautilus 2.31, which has a couple of features i don't like:space bar doesn't open multiple folders, like ENTER does. Sometimes it's more comfortable to hit the space bar instead of the enter key. I could do this in fomer versions (ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04).when i copy folders or files which are called the same as the ones in the destination folder, the prompt to replace/merge has the options accept and skip, and if i want to do the same every time the soincidence of names takes place, y have to first tick "always do the same" and then click "replace", for example. In former versions of nautilus/ubuntu (8.10, 9.04 at least) the prompt had buttons replace-replace all-skip-skip all, so a single click could do the job.How can i go back to those versions of nautilus, while still using ubuntu 10.04?
