- I installed openSuSE11.1 and updated it 100%. - then I went for (as instructed) KDE4.3 (One click from the website) which breaks completely with 100s of unfullfilled dependencies. So I go for KDE4.2 (One click from the website) which breaks completely with 100s of unfullfilled dependencies. The KDE web says: "If you get a message that dependencies cannot be resolved, enter the "Advanced Mode" of the one-click handler and enable the "standard" online repository of your distribution." I did that. Same thing, 100s of dependency errors. I aborted the installs.
I haven't even attempted to install KDE4.3. I'm still running openSUSE 11.0/KDE3.5 because KDE4 was just a mess(at least for me). I just haven't had time to do a fresh install and update it yet. I know I had similar problems in 11.0 when I did have KDE4 installed.
But one thing is good though...I got sound. KDE plays a sound when I log in and it plays a sound when I log out. It hasn't done so for months. Why should I not stay on KDE 4.1.3? Is it just because it's newer that I think it's better? I need a stable (openSUSE) desktop, that's my primary goal.
KDE 4.2 & 4.3 are supposed to fix a lot of bugs and add functionality that was missing from the prior releases. However, it's my understanding that a lot of the bug fixes are backported to 11.1's 4.1.3, so it should at least be stable. You could try to do KDE3, but a lot of people have had issues getting both to co-exist(even tho some haven't had any problems). I guess it just depends on what you need. I find that 11.0/KDE3 does everything I need. I'm looking at 11.2, but haven't really played with it. Compelling need is what's lacking on my updating. And 11.0 still has almost a year left for updates, so....... Maybe you could open a bug report about the 1 click failing?
