Read ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2/SuSE/README install gnokii install taglib install flac (all on SuSE CD/DVD) download the KDE base packages and the applications you want deinstall kdebase3-SuSE and the packages depending on that (susehelp, etc) goto init 3 remove /tmp/kde-<user> /tmp/ksocket-<user> /tmp/mcop-<user> directories backup any /home/<user>/.kde directory install kde base packages install kde applications you want (if you want kmail, deinstall kdenetwork3-kmail first then install kdepim3 goto init 5 Hope I did not forget anything imortant.

The easiest way to get your new, spectacular, KDE 3.2 runing in a
"while" (obviously it depends on your conection), is to use "apt4rpm"
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/
It worked well for me for me, solved all dependencies a gave me this
great desktop enviroment.
If you need any help, suchs as sources.list files or etc just reply.
Un saludo.

Hi David, I'm familiar with apt, I just have a couple of questions regarding it's use with SuSE. Would I need to call SuSEconfig each time after using apt to install packages? Also, is there any harm to using YaST occasionally if I also use apt (I wouldn't think so, but I just thought I'd check). thanks, Craig On Tuesday 10 February 2004 5:38 am, David Maeztu Lacalle wrote:

You might want to consider the use of Red Carpet for alternative updating and installing. It actually seems to be a bit more reliable and safe for doing such things, if you are not planning to handle things manually. Not sure where you need to pick it up, but there has been some discussion and instructions on setting it up by Anders Johansson on the SuSE-e list. Post a message on the suse-e list to Anders and he'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

For the sake of completeness I'll cite the four methods of obtaining the KDE 3.2 packages that I've seen discussed: 1. Configure Yast to use the SuSE 3.2 rpms as an alternative source (any of several servers will do) and do a Yast update. 2. Use the command "rpm -Fvh <URL>" where <URL> points to the collection of rpms. 3. Use apt4suse. 4. Use Red Carpet. For each of these, some who have tried have succeeded and others have failed. :=) I should also mention that there are a number of servers that provide the SuSE packages; the ones most often cited are ftp.suse.com, ftp.leo.org, and ftp.dwdg.de. The paths for these all end the same but they don't necessarily begin the same. Aside from traffic problems, they all work. And finally, the rpms are also available from kde.org, though no one as yet has provided a comparison between those and the ones on the SuSE mirrors. My personal experiences with 3.2 have been disastrous, but others report much better results. Paul Abrahams

Paul, I think the only thing you left out and may have been part of your problem as well, is to choose one and stick with it! Don't mix & match these things as you will completely or partially muck up your system to the point of things not working. :o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.6 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Probably true. I'm planning to revert to 3.1.4 shortly, and I'll probably upgrade to 3.2.1 when it comes out, or perhaps wait until SuSE produces a new version of the kdebase3-SuSE rpm that includes a number of goodies. On that subject, I've seen the suggestion that the older kdebase3-SuSE should not be removed but simply overridden, and I would guess that's the thing to do. Paul Abrahams

I'm familiar with apt, I just have a couple of questions regarding it's use with SuSE. Would I need to call SuSEconfig each time after using apt to install packages? No, it does all the work, you?ll see the log doing SuSEconfig, even you can upgrade your kernel, I did it and worked well, with no command line or renaming files.
Also, is there any harm to using YaST occasionally if I also use apt (I wouldn't think so, but I just thought I'd check). I did it a couple of times, and no problem for me, but who knows... :)
Un saludo.
thanks,
Craig

Download the files, base & development into one directory, applications into another. Install your b&d rpms with "rpm -Uhv *.rpm", run /sbin/SuSEconfig and restart kde. Do ctrl-alt-F1, login as root, type "init 3" to shutdown KDE/kdm, then init 5 to get back. Install apps next with "rpm -Uhv *.rpm" and run /sbin/SuSEconfig! There, all done! :o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.6 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Don't forget to remove all the following directories before login to the new KDE-3.2 otherwise you can have real problems. They will be recreated at login time. /tmp/kde-<user> /tmp/ksocket-<user> /tmp/mcop-<user> -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
