Hello All, How about the Suse-kde3.rpm file. Should that file be uninstalled and reinstalled after the upgrade to maintain the SuSE eye candy/files/menus? Thanks, Keith Carl Hartung wrote:

Could please someone tell me what I have to do to persuade yast to install the new KDE version (BTW, running 9.3)?

In YaST, go into "Change Source of Installation" and add:

ft

p://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-s

Hi Kevin,

At this point, with the new installation source added, use the "Install and Remove" software module. Select "Package Groups" as your filter (the selection box at top-left). In the left pane, scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "ZZZ All", which will cause every available package (at the installation sources /and/ on your system) to be displayed with it's current status vis a vis your system.

In the right pane, right-click on any package, highlight "All in this list..." and choose "Update if newer version available" in the submenu. This will instruct YaST to upgrade everything on your system if a newer package is available. It determines this by comparing what's installed against what's available at the sources you've defined.

Important: Resolve any KDE dependency issues by selecting to uninstall the current versions of any programs that normally come with SuSE, as many times the newer versions are rolled into new or differently named rpms and you can't directly trace the upgrade path. Example: the 'kdepim3" packages containing significant parts of kontact, which in turn contain parts of kmail.

...

Also, is it a problem to be running this YaST update/upgrade of KDE from KDE? Or would it make more sense to close KDE and run it from GNOME or from the text-based YaST?

Kevin

I usually "Exit and Save Changes" instead of clicking 'Accept' so the Install and Remove Software module closes when the process is complete. Then I immediately log out and reboot.

HTH & Enjoy!
