Listmates, For those thinking you have to dump your 10.3 installs to enjoy the new kde4 -- think again. kde4 works great on 10.3. That said, there are a few things you need to know in order to successfully install kde4 on 10.3. First, the 1-click install is so broken from a dependency hell standpoint, it isn't worth the fight. Just go enable the 4 needed repos and forget the 1- click. The repos you need to configure are: (these are all 1 line below) zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... kde4 zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_10.3... kde4comm zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Playground/openSUSE_10.... kde4play zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/building/openSUSE_10... tools Next just refresh all the repositories and then in yast software management [do not just choose update all], instead of using search, select repositories then choose your new kde4 repoository. The choose package -> All Packages In List -> Update if a newer version is availabe. You will get about 20 dependency problems. Primarily the dependency problem are from the old versions (3.9.3) of the kde4 runtime already on your 10.3 box. Every place you have a Delete KDE package (check if it is 3.9.3 or svn 3.9.3, delete it). Now just work through the remaining dependencies (you will have to uninstall a few kde3 games) to get clean dependencies. Once you have clean dependencies, then just go down the kde4 package list and choose kwin, kde4-workspace, etc... Then jump to your kdecomm repository Packages -> All in List -> Update if newer available, then jump to your new kde4play repo and do the same thing. Finish cleaning up the dependencies, then click OK, and go get some coffee. Come back in an hour and your 10.3 box will be sitting there with a fresh kde4 install on it. I've done 4 10.3 boxes so far - zero problems. I actually think kde4 runs faster on 10.3 -- who knows. Good luck. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
