OpenSUSE Install :: Switch From Unstable Kde 4.5 To Kde 4.4.1?
Mar 5, 2010
I am using some unstable set of kde packages with opensuse 11.2-i586, at the moment the version number is
KDE 4.4.62 (KDE 4.5 >= 20100203).
That I have these packages is due to some misconfiguration / error, and I would like to replace them with something stable, say kde 4.4.1. I had a look into yast, found an option like "use these (kde 4.4) packages as system packages", but run into numerous compatability issues afterwards so that I can't make the switch.
So my question is: How can I replace the unstable kde 4.5 packages with kde 4.4.1? I don't know suse very well, so if there is some step-by-step description available somewhere

My SUSE installation used GNOME as its default GUI. I finally installed KDE 4 as well. How do I switch between them? Specifically, how can I get XDM or KDM with an option to select the GUI per user (like it is done on Solaris)?

I've installed and used SUSE 11.2 with KDE environment. In generally, I've completely satisfied with it. However I want to change KDE into Gnome without re-install SUSE.

after using Gnome on my 11.3 system I wanted to go back to KDE4. So I installed the patterns and now I can choose it from gdm and it works fine. But if I also try to use kdm, nothing works. I see the kdm login screen without any users. Autologin isn't set in system settings. Any idea how to reset all the kdm settings to default? KDM Screenshot (oxygen theme):

I've installed Openbox from the repo and when I log out of gnome and go to log into openbox, GDM restarts. It does this with IceWM too, and even TWM. Am I missing something? A config file that needs modified?

When my computer is going down for hibernation (ram2disk) he safes the session corretly to the disk and the statusbar reaches 100%, but the computer and screen leaves on. Maybe some acpi troubles?
It is just that the computer won't switch off so that I have to press the OnButton 3sec. When I start again the session is sucessfully restored.

I am having trouble trying to figure out how to switch over to Ubuntu. I have downloaded the OS to my computer but can't figure out how to put it on my USB flashdrive as directed. It shows how use your USB flashdrive using Windows, Mac and Ubuntu but when I read the instructions for Ubuntu, opensuse does not have the program Startup Disk Creator.

I am running 11.4_64, KDE47 (recent update from 46)
I have three Suse Linux pcs on my network.
I'll call them desktop, media center and laptop.
I am logged in to my desktop , I want to open a new session and log in to my media center.
From GUI, I select application launcher - leave -switch user and get a fresh kdm greeter screen.
On the Greeter screen, I select Menu - Remote Login
A window opens displaying three machines - my desktop, my laptop and my media center.
When I move the mouse into the new window to select the media center as the new target machine, the window immediately closes.
I have Xdmcp access enabled in kdmrc on all three systems(and rebooted).
This did work fine back when I was on KDE45 and KDE46.
Is there a new permission or setting now under KDE47?

Thinking of installing Kimpanel plasmoid for Japanese input as an alternative to Skim due to it's unstable / incompatibility with KDE4. Anybody have any experience with it? Which anthy backend works best? scim-anthy or ibus-anthy? Install instructions at all or does it drag in all its own dependencies?

I'm rather new to Linux and haven't been on it for more than a week. I've been trying to find a Linux operating system that'd be compatible with my computer - I went through about 4 of them before finding openSUSE and really liking it. My main problem now, however, is that it seems to be rather unstable when it comes to running programs after a while. I've been on the computer for about 30 minutes for this session and tried using skype, for example. After about 5-10 minutes of using it, skype ended up crashing. There weren't any other programs open at the time either. After a while of doing anything, it usually lags up, taking about a minute to unstick so programs respond, and even gets to the point where it sometimes doesn't detect my keyboard strokes (though I think this is a separate problem that has to do with the disfunctional multimedia buttons - usually, after a minute or two, the typing begins to work again).
I've also noticed, however, that when trying to start up, the computer automatically goes to a 'start up options' screen where I can either boot in openSUSE normally or try the failsafe option. Is this normal? Usually, before shutting down or booting up, a black screen with white writing will flash by, sometimes followed by multicolored stripes before settling on the openSUSE log-in screen - at first this freaked me out and I'm still not sure if that means it's having an adverse reaction with the computer. The webcam doesn't stay disabled either after restarting, but I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
Has anyone else experienced these problems? The Windows Vista Home 64-bit that I had installed on my computer originally was OEM and I tried calling Gateway for help with the computer when something happened to the operating system that made it unable to connect to the internet regardless of what I tried to do (even the system diagnostics tool didn't help). I mention this because I'm wondering if the fact that it was OEM might have something to do with it? Or should I not try Linux at all on here and return back to Windows for this one? I've read around and a few people have said Linux is best working when installed by the manufacturer before purchase. Is this true?
After the problem with Vista, when I came upon the Linux OS's I was really intrigued, and I find I really like them especially for the fact that there's so much interaction with the terminal command prompt. I'd like to continue working with the openSUSE OS but does it sound like I should? or should I install the 32-bit version instead?

As was requested, I installed ubuntu maverick on a desktop computer that was having problems. I installed maverick (32-bit), and it crashes usually during or after software installation.
The specs of the computer:
Pentium D processor
1GB RAM
Intel integrated graphics card
160GB HDD, 40GB ext4 ubuntu partition
The only problem I can think of is that I've had stability issues on ext4. I *think* Pentium D's might be 64-bit, but I don't think that'd be an issue. If I can get this sorted out, the install will count as an epic win, first time I've ever experienced complete out of the box hardware support, printer included, plus compiz on an intel integrated graphics card.

Is there any way I can install an older version of kde like the on on suselinux 10.1 because the newer desktops are very unstable on my computers. stuff closes, stuff freezes temperarly, fortunetly nothing perminent has happened yet but its been threating to abolish my computer. Ive had other cases like this end up making me reinstall my operating system and Id really like to just fix the problem before it happens. page down is overrun with this horribly lagging scroll.buttons look like there clicking occasionally and again it closes programs and has logged me out once already.

Common error seems to be "QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 10 and type 'Read', disabling.

Can the fibre channel switch in the centOS5.3 cluster edition be switched for a regular router or hub?
If so how would one do this? If not why does the switch have to be fibre channel?

Had a bit of a play with KDE 4.5.
I want to switch back to 4.4.xx in Opensuse
What's the easiest way to do this? Do I just use the package switcher to change back to the update repo?

Recently, after a hard drive failure, I replaced my old boot drive, and IDE 60GB HD with an IDE 120GB HD, and as well, replaced two older generation 1 SATA (500GB and 350 GB) drives with 2 2TB SATA drives in Raid 1 (Hardware). This machines uses an older A7N8X motherboard with 100 MHz Ram (2 GB) and an AMD 1800+ CPU. The SATA Drives are fed from a silicon images 3124 card. The machine is using OpenSuSe 11.2 32 bit.One partion of the 120GB drive is NTFS, the other is extended with swap, boot, /. The 2 TB Raid is /home.
No matter whether I used hardware raid or software raid, whenever I do any kind of activity that uses the hard drive a lot I get crashes that lock the machine up completely. Programs stop running, the mouse freezes, etc. The only way to restart the machine is to turn off the power. It starts normally after it fixes the hard drive partitions.My guess is that the motherboard is so old and slow it's not able to keep up with SATA 3 hard drives. I don't know whether upgrading the memory to PC 3200 (400MHz) and or the CPU - I can go up to an AMD 2800+ is likely to fix the problem or not. Can some of you suggest whether I should just replace the mobo or the memory and cpu. My dilemma is that money is important, and I don't want to replace the cpu and memory and then have to buy a new cpu, mobo AND memory

I use 2 keyboard layouts. But when I change setting from the YaST interface in KDE, setting save only for the short time (may be some hours). Then I can't switch between layouts and have to use YaST again. What is it?

why openSuSE chose to switch the default Office from openOffice to LibreOffice?First, I at least looked at libre, looks ok.Then, I went to the 'site' found NO support, forum etc. was directed to opendesktop and again, No forum, not way to comment other than irc and that is way to easy to be 'band from' if they don't like what one has to say...
I, as of this post, have not read anything overwhelming about libreoffice.. this switch is, at this point, not as bad a the fools over at KDE deciding without the use of a normal brain, to switch default file manager from konqueror to dolphin.. my Uncle Art ('unky') used to say, 'for free, take. to buy, shop around'... and Dad said, 'if it's free you can't *****, especially if you contributed nothing'....

I'm growing tired of Gnome and KDE and wish to move towards a more lightweight and customizable interface. I chose Xfce. I downloaded all (I think) the packages related to Xfce but now I'm stumped as to how to actually run it as a default. I might want to try it a couple times first though. Is this possible?

update from 11.1 to 11.2 is good but I can't find any way of setting a timed autosuspend to disk. It used to be in kpowersave but that doesn't seem to be available. Is it simply a case of waiting for an 11.2 version to appear? Would the 11.1 version still work?The other thing is that the task bar icon for switching desktops is missing and despite a lot of searching I can't see how to get it back.
