I experienced no issues in the upgrade I used the the switcher in Yast mind you. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/Switcher%20Pics/package%20switch%20kde.png

Might be worth another go Try creating a new user account before you update, don't login to it until after the upgrade

:D

Howdy all:

I have two computers, a desktop and laptop running 11.3, kde 4.5.5, nvidia 256.53 (have to use this driver to avoid the floating point error that causes all clock widgets to crash with kde 4.5).

I tried updating both computers to kde 4.6 I used the following repos:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUSE...

Did zypper up on one zypper dup on another to the kde:release:46 repo. Both updates failed big time, and I have reverted back to kde 4.5.x, below are the issues on both computers after the update:

1) No window controls, restore, close minimize, title bar ......

2) no keyboard input in any window, within kde, kb works fine from tty1 ......

3) Networkmanager would not load into system tray

4) kde starts on occasion with only the main panel with task bar system tray etc, but black screen I'm assuming plasma has crashed.

5) main panel will not allow changes, even if widgets unlocked, the little upside down like apostrophe does not appear and can not change panel

6) if using the newer nvidia driver 260.19.36, plasma loops and generates numerous seg fault messages.

Below are a few things I tried before reverting back to kde 4.5.5

1) remove /tmp/kde-user temp directory, user of course replaced with my user name

2) deleted .kde4 folder, for logged in user

3) update to nvidia current drivers (this did nothing but bring back the floating point errors), then back to nvidia 256.53 driver.

Any ideas suggestion greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Tony

Had not thought about the switcher, I was under impression that, switcher is same as zypper dup, but not sure. I also tried the kdf repos, same issues. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
