Before starting, I uninstalled all of KDE3, but nothing from Packman. I used the upgrade=1 switch to start HTTP installation from Grub using only linux and initrd from HTTP fetch. "The installed product is not compatible with the produce on the installation media. If you try to update using the current installation media, the system may not start or some applications may not run properly." It tried to switch me to Grub2 even though grub2, shim and os-prober were not installed and were locked in /etc/zypp/locks. "Manual intervention is required." First was insistence on locked out grub2 required by bootcycle. Second was locked out libgnome-keyring0, which I allowed to unlock, but another breakage window followed, so I chose to break GnomeKeyring, which AFAIK I've never used anyway. Post-installation I installed it by choosing "remove lock" when asked by zypper (actual lock: libgnome*). Packages to update: 1045 New Packages to install: 745 Packages to remove: 117 That "new" list seems excessive. Obviously quite a number would be -32bit, but still.... IIRC, before removing KDE3 freespace was 56%, but immediately after removal, 50%. After the update and installing TDE, freespace is 59%, with only one 32bit package (glibc-32bit) installed. It discombobulated /dev/md*, replacing my orderly /dev/md[0-7] with /dev/md12[0-7]. e.g. / target of /dev/md1 was replaced by /dev/md125. However, this fixed itself when updated system was booted to the installed kernel, even though there is no /etc/mdadm.conf. :-p Somehow it decided I needed the whole bloated LibreOffice when no office suite was installed. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=926841 still not fixed, still an annoying and useless installation delay. (In order to avoid https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274) I was successful in installing gtk3 from 42.1: # cat /pub/Tmp/out # rpmqa gtk | grep 3.16 gtk2-metatheme-adwaita-3.16.2-2.2.noarch gtk2-theming-engine-adwaita-3.16.2-2.2.x86_64 gtk3-branding-upstream-3.16.7-5.1.noarch gtk3-data-3.16.7-5.1.noarch gtk3-lang-3.16.7-5.1.noarch gtk3-metatheme-adwaita-3.16.2-2.2.noarch gtk3-tools-3.16.7-5.1.x86_64 libgtk-3-0-3.16.7-5.1.x86_64 libgtkmm-3_0-1-3.16.0-2.2.x86_64 TDE apparently migrated KDE3 settings automatically (as claimed it would)! :-) Everything tried so far seems to work as expected. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
