Has anyone tried KDE 3.1.95 from the SuSE Supplementary feed and got it working correctly? (I have used this mirror: ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/ ) I added ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/ KDE/update_for_9.0/yast-source as an installation source in Yast and then did a System Update. After resolving the conflicts as mentioned previously on this list I rebooted. It didn't seem to have installed all the KDE 3.2 stuff. So, again with yast, I uninstalled all the KDE and QT packages and reinstalled them, still using the supplementary feed. This seemed to install everything, except the KDE themes didn't seem to be working and all letters on menu items with an underscore had a green background. Now I have disabled the supplementary feed as an installation source and gone back to KDE 3.1.4 and everything seems ok. Has anyone else had much luck with this? I eventually corrupted my previous SuSE 8.1 installation by installing and forcing upgrades of packages outside of Yast, so I did a clean install of SuSE 9.0 and want to keep it clean and stick to official SuSE packages installed with Yast as much as possible.

I've used that feed to update 9.0 to 3.1.95 but I do it as install/remove not update system. Only been using it a couple of days but no major bugs shown up so far. Jim
Hello, I've done it as install/ remove. Select all KDE stuff and tell YaST to update them. Start YaST at the commandline. If You start it from KDE it may result in unpredictable effects. Greetings Michael Eichstädt Am Samstag, 31. Januar 2004 23:20 schrieb Jim MacLeod:

Yeah, I kinda realised that after the first attempt. My second installation attempt was done using the Install/Remove module in Yast from the console. Maybe something like /etc/X11/qtrc got created as /etc/X11/qtrc.rpmnew or something and that messed it up, since QT went from v3.2 to 3.3. I didn't think of checking things like that before. Anyone know if I'm on the right track before trying again? Thanks

I had to get gnokii and libmusicbrainz from SuSE's main site (ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/current/suse/i586) before the multimedia and network packages would install. qtrc.rpmnew was created and I admit that at time of writing I haven't resolved it as all is working ok!!
