OpenSUSE Install :: Direct Update / Upgrade From 11.2 To 11.4?
Apr 7, 2011
I am currently running OpenSuse 11.2 still having problems with sound, CD-burning and the like being a total newbie. But I am also a very curious person.
So my questions are: Is it
a) advisable to upgrade to the latest version when there are still problems to solve in the old version and after quite some work the most important functions are up and running
b) is it possible technically speaking to upgrade directly from 11.2 to 11.4 without risking too much.

I get following error during automatic patch upgrade of my SuSE 11.2 to latest path revision. I assume it is due to the KDE 4.3.5 Update part of the patch set: compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.14.x86_64 requires libkdecorations.so.4()(64 bit) but there are no providers. The package manager suggest to replace compiz-kde4-0.7.8-9.14.x86_64 with kwin-4.3.5-0.2.1.x86_64 but I don't want to loose compiz-kde. which repository I must add to resolve the dependency.

when I launch Yast2 - Online Update, I get an error during the repository refresh that it could refresh the repository.Since it's easier to copy-paste - here is the output from 'zypper ref' with the same error:

i want to upgrade to 11.2, however, i am very cautious about losing my files. there are files on this system which i absolutely can not afford to lose, and they are only on this system. which method of upgrade will be the best, best as in safest.

I would like to plug my guitar on my pc and hear what I'm playing out of my headphones. I have not found out yet how I can enable direct output. Neither with Line-In, nor Mic-Input worked. Has anyone an idea how to enable it? KMix does not provide such a function as far as I know

I've been able to get access to our Netgear NAS, I can browse it, copy files etc. just fine. But I don't have "direct access" in as far as, Open Office won't open any files residing on the NAS, neither can I save directly to the NAS form a program and when I get a "Browse for File" form field on a website (eg attachments in GMail etc.), I can't browse to the NAS either. My XP box does do all of this, either through my mapped network drive or even through browsing the network. How can I make openSuse 11.2 use the NAS with my login credentials as if it was a local disk?

I have slackware on my laptop but it's pretty buggy lately, and last night it really pissed me off freezing and loosing the volume icon.So I decided to install Xubuntu over it.(Most probably it'll be Xubuntu, 11.04 or maybe Aptosid with XFCE )But - I'd like to try not to format the home partition. Now it's separated. (The partitions now are /boot, swap, / and /home.) So, I plan to:
1. Boot from the USB;
2. Delete all the hidden files and folders from the the /home. So anything that the Slackware has put and/or set - to be cleared.
3. Directly install, keeping the current partitions, but without formatting the home.
The only thing that I think of that could make some problems is that when I booted Xubuntu 10.10 on my working machine - it couldn't mount any of the hard drives? So if this happens on my laptop too.I won't manage to delete all the hidden stuff on the home.

I tried to install 10.04 but for the very first time since years I got stuck
I have an integrated intel video card, 512MB of RAM, both the "try ubuntu without installation" and the "directly install ubuntu" run for a while showing the ubuntu loading splash screen and then everything freezes and the screen comes blank.

I just reinstalled my OpenSuse 11.3 with the GNOME desktop. As soon as I was done installing and I was on a fresh desktop, I installed the Yast updates that were available, rebooted, and now I can't login to any of my User accounts. Whenever I try to login, it tells me that it is "Unable to Open Session".o any of you know how I can fix this without having to reinstall all over again

how to update my system online (for example my firefox 3.0 to 3.5) but i can't figure out how this possibly works. I tried the "online update" using Yast2 but apparently (according to Yast) there is nothing at all to be patched on my system. I tried to click on the Firefox-3.5.5 rpm in the repository web-interface and open it using "install software" but the process aborts because of unresolved dependencies. Is there an easy way to update software without having to download/install every dependency manually?

I have just visited this page here, Updating openSUSE - openSUSE I have been trying to update my OpenSuSE system for a week now and I have absolutely no idea what causes this problem. The update would start but would stop right in the middle and refuse to install some pulseaudio(...) package... It would indicate that network is down while I am sure it is up.
I am behind a proxy and I have again and again made sure that the proxy settings are correct and alright. Since it downloads some of the packages in the start I believe my connection and settings are OK. Maybe the SuSE server is down, but not for a whole week, I don't think so. I would also like to mention that I have only tried updating through YaST GUI and I am, as of yet, unaware of any console or command-line methods of updating.
I really would like to update my system because I happen to be paranoid in matters of computer security. (Just kidding) But since I cannot install any updates it should mean I might have problem installing new software. So my digital life is literally crippled because of this problem.

I had a working setup of opensuse 11.0, dual booting using grub installed on the home partition. I tried to install 11.3 from the coverdisc of linux format (LXFDVD136). It took 5 goes before the install succeeded. Mostly stopping at the "boot installed system" stage. I put 11.3 on a formatted partition in the same place as 11.0, and put grub there too.
The system will not boot without assistance. I have to use a supergrub disc and tell it which partition to boot. If I use boot linux from supergrub I get the Grub error message 15 file not found. Supergrub CAN find windows and it boots with the win command. Automatic and yast initiated attempts to check for software upgrades are blocked by the application with pid 4587.

I had my motherboard fail and had to do a replacement. The motherboard I got has a feature (I don't think I can shut off) that lets you select what drive you want to boot off of. I have XP installed on the first drive and openSUSE 11.1 on the second drive. I am running openSUSE 11.2 with KDE 3.5 and I simply dropped my drives onto this new motherboard. I can boot up (Linux) just fine but am having other issues with my mouse. I am thinking of Updating to openSUSE 11.2 and the current KDE version.
Should I just update to 11.2 or do a new install. I have LOTS of data in my home directory I really don't want to lose and have a partition for data as well that is pretty full. I don't want to lose this stuff. What should I do about Grub with this BIOS that lets you pick which drive to boot off of? Put Grub in the MBR of the drive with openSUSE on it and nuke the MBR of the XP drive?

I am looking to update from 11.1 to 11.3. My question is would it be better to update my current setup, or do a fresh install of 11.3? I was never able to get 11.2 to install no matter what I tried so I gave up on it and went back to my tried and true 11.1. What is the best way for me to get 11.3 on my computer?

On a fresh install (tried two new installs now) I'm getting an error when I try to go out to the update repositories after the install. I'm getting a "failed to download /suse/setup/descr/packages.DU.gz from [URL] It seems to get about 48% and just hangs there. This happens both if I try downloading updates during the install or if I try doing an on-line update after the system is up.
