Upgrading to KDE 4.3.1 on openSUSE 11.1
| Note: This is an unsupported upgrade to Factory packages under development for openSUSE 11.2. |
Preparations
Add the KDE Factory repository and set priority. Remove any repository with conflicting KDE version (KDE:42, KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop, KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop)!
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/ kde-desktop zypper mr -r -p 10 kde-desktop
If you have not the online release repository enabled, do it now. The new packages depend on packages which are not part of 11.1 CD/DVD:
zypper mr -e repo-oss
If you get a conflict in the upgrade step or if want to use/keep using the KDE3 versions of eg Amarok, Konversation or K3b (now renamed to kde3-<foo>) you need to add the KDE:KDE3 Build Service repository.
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.1/ kde3 zypper mr -r -p 10 kde3
If you have KDE:KDE4:Community or even KDE:KDE4:Playground repositories registered update their URLs to (easiest by editing /etc/zypp/repos.d/* files):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_Factory_Desktop/ (community packaged, not in distribution) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_Factory_Desktop/ (development snapshots/releases!)
Upgrading
Now run the zypper distribution update with command
zypper dup
It updates all packages from all registered repositories in a way that permits easier upgrades to many packages, for example this disables the vendor change conflict warnings.
Don't forget to relogin to KDE after upgrade if you updated in running desktop! :-)
Troubleshooting
If your desktop layout is broken after the upgrade you can reset it by running this command in Konsole:
kquitapp plasma-desktop && rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop* && plasma-desktop &
If you want to install a KDE4 package (eg kgpg) but a KDE3 package (like kdeutils3) is triggered to install try:
zypper in -n <foo>
