OpenSUSE :: How To Upgrade To KDE 4.7
Jul 28, 2011
how do you upgrade to KDE 4.7? I'm pretty new to openSUSE (installed it last weekend) and have never had to upgrade before, so I don't know the ropes. The KDE website says that there is a 1-click install available, but the link doesn't work:Binary packages Some Linux/UNIX OS vendors have kindly provided binary packages of KDE 4.7.0 for some versions of their distribution, and in other cases community volunteers have done so.Currently pre-compiled packages are available for:openSUSE packages are available for openSUSE 11.4 (one-click install), for openSUSE 11.3 (one-click install), and openSUSE Factory (one-click install).That copy+paste comes from the bottom of KDE - KDE 4.7.0 Info PageI've looked for 4.7 in the yast repos and tried to do some stuff through zypper but I can't figure it out. I know it only came out yesterday, but it should be possible and stable, right?

I finally got around to fully switching to openSUSE 11.3 from Kubuntu, while enjoying it very much, I'd love to install KDE 4.5. Following the instructions at How-To: Upgrade to KDE 4.5 | SUSE!!) I get messages like
Code:
dave2889@linux-v407:~> sudo zypper addrepo -f [URL] /KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.3 KDE45

I wish to upgrade my desktop, KDE 4.3.5, mainly because of some limitations in AmaroK. Upgrading just Amarok through the KDE update app repo is no good as I loose the scrobbling Last.fm option. So, I just wonder if Last.fm works fine with KDE 4.4.4 on OpenSuSE 11.2? And when I am on to it, if there are some general reasons to upgrade further, 4.5 or perhaps 4.6?

I had installed the KDE 4.7 packages through repository listed below, The first thing is windows sometimes refused to minimized when I click on window name on task manager and second thing is when update kernel to 3.0.0.9 via kernel repository it completely fail to boot and logout automatically while now I upgrade kernel to 3 without any problem on KDE 4.6. Because of many improvment in KDE 4.7 especially in multi media that let me run the XBMC (It crash with my current KDE 4.6) I've to upgrade to 4.7. Any advice?

I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade

I upgraded the KDE version on a new installation of 11.1 on another computer and everything went fine. But today I tried upgrading my computer from 4.2 to 4.3.5 with the one click installer, and in addition to having many dependency issues that I thought I got figured out, everything is messed up on my desktop. I still have the 4.2 panel, and my background is messed up (the background I had set has been replaced with a checker pattern), the lizard icon for the application menu is just a grey circle with a play button, all of my icons and my desktop folder that used to be on the desktop are gone, and nothing is showing in the system tray.

There are two sets of repos for 4. One is stable and the other is Factory. On the repos page it says this about kde 4.4 Factory: "These repositories feature the KDE packages under development for the upcoming openSUSE release and includes openSUSE specific patches". For reasons that are somewhat involved and that I won't go into right here I am stuck in openSUSE 11.0 and can't upgrade until I get a new machine which will be some time. Is Factory unfinished and will Kde 4.4 Factory work well in 11.0?

I am using Banshee 1.6 (beta 2) 1.5.1. I'm actually interested in is getting the Amazon mp3 extension to work, and I don't see this extension in my current version of Banshee. I tried to upgrade & ended up wiping my whole hard drive & had to re-install 11.2 but I'm sure that was my inexperience more than anything else.
I'm not sure of the proper procedure to upgrade any particular package on 11.2 actually. I just leave them alone & it works great. I could add the Banshee repo (which I have not done) but even if I uninstall 1.6 which I have now, and then re-install the newer app from the repo, it will not work. It says it installs properly (I know this from yesterday) but the program doesn't show up in the menu.

I recently upgraded from openSUSE 11.0 to 11.3. I had a backup archive before the upgrade and wanted to make another one today. I can't because the destination external hard drive is only 500gb. The Yast backup said I had over 300 tb to back up! - which can't be since the physical hard drive is only 40gb. So I attempted to do the same thing from the command line and got the same result.
I started going through the directories, looking at properties. I found that /proc and /var/lib/ntp show 128 tb of unknown and unreadable data.

Since I upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 the Encrypt option no longer shows up when I right click on a file. How do I get it back? GnuPG2 shows to be installed. I can decrypt files by double clicking on them and entering the passphrase.

I was using opensuse kde 11.3 for almost one year. My system is a four-core system and so far was really fast. After upgrading from 11.3 to 11.4 I have noticed that kde(?) is running slow. I can pinpoint exactly the source of the problem but just a few examples.
1. Dolphin takes so much time to load (15 seconds)
2. When I try to do something inside dolphin (like Edit->copy) can take up to 15 seconds to see the menu to appear.
3. Double clicking inside a catalog can take up to 5 seconds
I have same kind of problems with Gwenview. I can not say precisely blame kde, dolphin or gwenview.
I would like to ask your help how can I find what's the problem (any cli command, any log file to check?)
I have updates to latest opensuse 11.4 by using the documentation I found in official opensuse forumes. (Changed the repositories from 11.3 to 11.4)

If I install opensuse from a dvd and then upgrade KDE to 4.6.something by going to KDE - Experience Freedom! and following the links to the info page and clicking on the oci I can't log in. It just flicks back to the login screen. If I then login using Gnome once then logout I can login to KDE just fine again.Has anyone else encountered this or am I doing something wrong

I tried messing around with yast, but the farthest I could get was upgrading it from firefox 4 beta to firefox 4.1 or something (I just installed openSUSE 11.4). I was wondering if I'm missing something? I also clicked on yast, searched "firefox", then clicked "upgrade" but still nothing. Thanks and sorry if it's a dumb question.

It's time to bite the bullet before I run out of security update support in December. I also have a sda that is starting to show signs of possibly failing soon when I run smartctl -H. What I want to do is mirror my existing sda with pmagic and upgrade to 11.3. How much trouble will I have going the upgrade route over doing a clean install and trying to import all my Thunderbird/firefox etc data to it with 11.3 and KDE 4.X?

I have followed this article SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE to upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 using the CLI. After installing I cannot boot into my GUI. I am using an NVIDIA card 7800. It will attempt to got to the log on screen, but will remain in a black scree with just mouse activity. Not sure what the issue is.

I have a VPS with SUSE 11 64-bit installed on it.This as it turns out is 11.1.On looking at the repository it has none listed, so getting updates is kinda hard. I added the 11.1 repository, or what I thought was it, but it tells me it can't update as it needs an x64 installation.I've tried changing the repositories to 11.2, but get the same message, that it needs an x64 installation.I'm aware it's best to upgrade with a fresh install off DVD, but this is something I can't do with a VPS.
1) Is it possible to upgrade to 11.2 or 11.3 from 11.1 .. I know it's not overly advised, but is there a way to do it?
2) What's the actual requirements for these or what repositories should I be pointing to? Because, I'm already on 64-bit, so I don't get why they wouldn't work.
3) Is there any issues with staying on 11.1? And if I do, then what repositories should I be using?
