I'm new to suse and would like to upgrade to kde 3.5 via online update (or whatever). I think what I need are instructions on how to decide between YaST2 and YOU, how they compare to URPMI and where to look for the packages. Also, where are the online repositories located? Thanks in advance, Ken.

Hi, I used the following with yast, added these setting to my installation source and updated that way http://linuxblogger.dyndns.org/weblog/index.php?/archives/80-KDE-3.5-availab...

With YOU, I get "no patches found" at that site.

Go to KDE.org, you can find rpms for SuSE there. I downloaded all of the rpms and then updated, no big thing.

I did that, and eventually got to an ftp page listing all the packages. I did the following in a shell on my current 3.4.2 system: rpm -qa | grep kde | sort | less to get a list of those 3.4 KDE packages currently installed, since I don't want to introduce a whole lot of others that I have no use for. I then used gftp to go to the ftp location and downloaded the 3.5 versions of all my current 3.4.2 packages. So far so good. But when I went into the download directory and did rpm -Uhv * I got the following messages: error: Failed dependencies: python-qt = 3.5.0-7 is needed by kdebindings3-python-3.5.0-7 libpoppler-qt.so.0 is needed by kdegraphics3-3.5.0-6 libakode.so.2 is needed by kdemultimedia3-3.5.0-7 libakode.so.2 is needed by kdemultimedia3-arts-3.5.0-7 libakode.so.2 is needed by kdemultimedia3-jukebox-3.5.0-7 libgmp.so.3 is needed by kdeutils3-3.5.0-10 I tried to locate the 3.4 versions of these items on my system, but in each case either the item belonged to a 3.5 package I had already downloaded or it wasn't there at all. So can anyone running KDE 3.5 tell me which packages contain the files I need? If you have them, it's simple to find out: just do, say, locate libakode.so.2 followed by rpm -qf [file location of libakode.so.2] or perhaps even rpm -qf $(locate libakode) Thanks. Paul

I did a Google search and found a repository with python-qt 3.5.0-8, but no luck in finding -7. Paul

For cryin' out loud. Why make things so hard for yourself? Use the YaST repositories and be done with it. Sheesh. RRS

The suggestion posted here was to go to kde.org and pick up the files found there under SuSE. I didn't know there was a YaST repository containing KDE 3.5. (YaST wants a media file in its specified directory, doesn't it?) Which repository do you recommend? Paul

It has come up repeatedly, you know. I use <http://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/yast-source>.

It would be nice if the Novell site put a pointer to this repository in the KDE update area at http://www.novell.com/linux/download/linuks/index.html That area has a collection of new KDE files but not in a form acceptable to Yast. Then again, since Novell took over, the site has become very difficult to navigate. Paul

They are available through a YaST source on most SUSE mirrors. It is much easier and safer (dependencies wise). -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
