The original thread started in late December, after I had messed up v11.3 irretrievably by trying to updated KDE4.4 to v4.5 by proceeding according to instructions that turned out to be obsolete. The conclusion was that I needed to reinstall v11.3 on a clean partition and copy over data and much else from the corrupted installation. Over a month later (day before yesterday) I got around to making the new installation, and it is working well, after only a single glitch, and is still on KDE4.4 that came from the DVD. I want now to update it to KDE v4.5 -- not v4.5.5, having just now read the following snippet written by Will Stephenson in current thread:
The kmail maintainer looked at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265293 within a few hours and pointed out the commit to backport to 4.5 to fix the GL capabilities check. I have added this to KDE:Release:45. Please test, but not on production systems first!
I want to avoid screwing up this installation as I did the earlier one. A Google search for the "right" way to make this update shows a bewildering variety of instructions with much inconsistency, and I don't want accidentally to install v4.5.5, so even the instructions on openSuSE pages are suspect. Where can I find the RIGHT oS instructions for upgrading to KDE v4.5.[null]? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
