But before I remembered Mark's suggestion, I went looking for an answer and found that there is a bug in KDE4.6.0 and which, as implied, has been fixed in KDE 4.6.1. Which is quite nice to know....if you only one knew how to upgrade your current KDE 4.6.0 to 4.6.1 (let alone to 4.6.2!) to get rid of just one (presumably) small bug to make vlc work.
As I have forgotten over time the mystical incantations required to manipulate the Repositories info in (?)YaST to be able to upgrade this current release of 11.4 with KDE 4.6.0 to KDE 4.6.1, would some kind person, using plain, simple English, please, if it is not too much trouble, tell me what I should do to add whatever necessary repos (NO runes and in abbreviated form please!-please) to my installation so as to be able to upgrade to KDE 4.6.1?
That particular question is probably better asked in opensuse-kde than getting it lost in here with no KDE in the subject line. I don't think there is any easy way to get to 4.6.1. I went looking through http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/ and it seems the only choices for 11.4 any more are 4.6.0, 4.6.2 or 4.7 devel. http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories seems to confirm this, though rather obtusely. To get to 4.6.1 you'd apparently have to build from source. 4.6.2 is easier than that, though I don't see a way in YaST2's Community repositories to make that easy. Nevertheless, adding _any_ repo is actually pretty easy - if you know how to find the one you want in a web browser or via FTP (as in using MC in runlevel 3). The parent of the arch of any repo you want will have a .repo file in it. Just copy that to /etc/zypp/repos.d/ and either do zypper ref; zypper dup, or open YaST2 sw_single back up, select the 4.6.2 meta package(s), and upgrade. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/openSUSE_11.4... & http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4/i58... look like the right places for 4.6.2 for 11.4. How to decide which to pick is a mystery to me, but I'll bet there's a thread in the opensuse-kde mailing list archives that explains. If you can't find it likely posing the question in opensuse-kde will lead to at least one useful reponse. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
