Gunther, I take it you looked at http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/KDE4 ? There are 1-Clicks available there for almost any permutation of installing KDE 4.2 Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: FunkyPenguin. openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org awafaa@opensuse.org | http://www.wafaa.eu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Search the archives, this issue has been discussed many times. Remove all packages that are not available anymore, those do not include core apps like kmail etc, only minor like powerdevil, plasmoids and alike.

Sven I did search archives and tried the different repo's called out including the one click. I keep running into numerous dependence issues between 4.1.3 and 4.2 that have t5o do with the policy kit version and one rpm that cannot be provided. Do I allow YaST to delete and down grade everything it wants to and then install?

Russ, can you post what dependency problems are present? If you use YaST then when dependency problem occurs just use Expert options in popup to store them. Send mail to my email addres with dependencies attached. I had a problem and all that I did was to remove few files. I guess it was only 3 files that made mess. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Word "remove" replace with "allowed YaST to downgrade packages" and dependency problem disappeared. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
I allowed downgrade for PolicyKit and uninstallation for kio_sysinfo
(if I remember well) and few other inconsistencies (eg ktorrent
version with DHT from Packman) and I am using 4.2 daily without any
flaw.

These are the repos you need for 4.2 but als read what Martin had to say to me in opensuse-factory (below): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Extra-Apps/ope... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1... QUOTE Just remember a couple of things: 1) kde4:/factory flavour is openSUSE development - so even though the code is officially released and "stable" from a KDE point of view, the packages remain pre-alpha and under active development from the openSUSE point of view. 2) if you don't pay attention (planetsuse.org or -kde mailinglist) kde4:/factory repositories might change to 4.3 beta right under your feet in 2-4 months time - depending on how the 11.2 roadmap turns out, when it's finally published.

Those are the ones I originally tried and got the same dependency issues. That's when I read the post about the one click and tried it. I look into the mail list you mention. I'll stick with 4.1.3 for now, it mostly works reliably for the functions I use.

Just read over your howto guide. Will give it a try this weekend. What about the extra apps repo, should install first by your guide, then add it?
I deliberately excluded the "Extra-apps" and "Community" repos from the howto. On the bad side, they'd add a lot of complexity to the howto - and especially they would add complexity later when people have to switch repos to avoid 4.3 beta packages, while making sure all the repos are still of the same "flavour". On the plus side the "extra-apps" mostly brings svn-builds of unreleased applications (kaffeine, k3b, koffice etc.) which are likely to do more harm than good, in the hands of the casual users anyway. And the "Community" repo mostly has plasmoids and plasma-themes of questionable reliability too. So I think the "costs" greatly outweigh the benefits for most people. But if you want them you can add them whenever you please.. before, after the upgrade, doesn't matter. Before is probably the safest depending on what you have already installed. Just make sure you don't mix repositories of different "flavours" (STABLE/UNSTABLE/Factory), or you'll be in a world of hurt. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
