- I'm finally done with my byggy and odd behaving openSusE11.1 with KDE4.n. I now resort to the good old windows solution when problems stike; re-install. Sigh.
Happens sometimes....
Printing doesn't work properly. No sound. Desktop behaves odd - but only now and then. I've updated all that there is to update. My repos are ok. I have a DVD issue from Linux Format from may '09. Is it ok to use that one as an installation foundation? And once installed, will the on-line update then give me a recent/decent openSuSE11.1?
Should work similar to downloading the dvd iso. Once you have it installed, just run the online update config from yast.
Which KDE4 will be on it?
11.1 shipped with 4.1.3
From what I hear (here) and read, KDE4.3 (or was it two...) is good enough for daily use. How can I install that beast - or is that the version that will finally end up on my HD?
Once you have finished installing, you can use the one click install to update to 4.3: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... Read this page for more info: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4
FYI: I have '/home' on a separate partion, I back up /etc and other important stuff before moving on. Any last minute life saving suggestion before I pull it?
You should be fine. Are you sure it's not a hardware problem? you could run badblocks on your hard drive to make sure its ok. I've seen failing drives make systems go screwy, so it wouldn't hurt to check. There's also the ultimate boot cd which has lots of good utilities on it.
