I want a stable KDE4 opensuse 11.3 machine that is updated to the latest bug-fixes from the kernel all the way up to the apps like openoffice, mozilla stuff (F-fox and T-bird) and mp3-aware multimedia (audio/video/webcam). And yes I am ready to give up compiz and go for kwin effects.
I am ready to build up one really stable and well behaving installation. I want to get the same experience as all other happy people on the list.
Could you please, help me with the list of repos that I have to use, besides the ones that come with fresh install.
I sincerely want to give it a try.
Add the Community repositories. Go to YaST > Software > Software Repositories > Add > Community Repositories and pick the ones that are of interest to you. For KDE4, http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories has all the info you need. For a stable KDE4.5.0, add Factory (KDE4.5), not Unstable SC (KDE Trunk). Make sure you include Extra and Playground. Set the repository priority to a number lower than the default 99. While in the YaST Software installer click View > Repositories. Then click the new "Repositories" tab. Select the three new KDE4 Factory repositories you just added (should be in the list on the left) and then click the "Switch system packages" link to switch over to the new KDE repository. During the updates, make sure you also get the latest dbus package or Dolphin will crash all the time due to a bug in the dbus version that comes with 11.3 (the bug affects KDE4.5.0 not 4.4.4). Depending on your hardware, you may find you need to update your default kernel to Kernel:openSUSE-11.3 for 2.6.34 with backports or Kernel:Head for 2.6.35 (depending on which you prefer) The repos for the Kernel are: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/ or http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3/openSUSE_11.... This is basically what I've done on my computers, and it's running fine (fast, stable, reliable etc etc). Did I miss anything?
