KDE 4.3.4 Released – openSUSE Build Service
Yesterday KDE 4.3.4 was released via kde.org:
December 1st, 2009. Today, KDE has released a new version of the KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC). This month's edition of KDE SC is a bugfix and translation update to KDE SC 4.3. KDE SC 4.3.4 is a recommended upgrade for everyone running KDE 4.3.3 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes and translation updates, it will be a safe and pleasant update for everyone. Users around the world will appreciate that KDE SC 4.3.4 is more completely translated. KDE 4 is already translated into more than 50 languages, with more to come.
KDE SC 4.3.4 has a number of improvements:
A bugfix in Plasma’s pixmap cache makes the workspace more responsive
Okular, the document viewer improved stability in certain situations
Marble, the desktop globe has seen some polish
Passphrases with non-ASCII characters have been fixed in the KGpg encryption tool
You can upgrade to the newest version of KDE 4.3.4 using the openSUSE BuildService.
Add the KDE 4.3 Repository using:
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.2/ openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE43
Add the KDE 4.3 Community Repository using:
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE_43/ openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE43\ Community
Once you’ve added those, set then to refresh by doing:
for repo in openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE43\ Community openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE43; do sudo zypper mr -r $repo; done
After that has been completed, you’re ready to upgrade with:
sudo zypper dup
Note: for openSUSE 11.1, and 11.0 just replace the 11.2 with the appropriate versions on all above commands.
I’ve tried it out, and as reported before, I’m starting to really like KDE4.

Is it stable enough, i mean the current build for openSuSE. Usually i wait for about 2 or 3 weeks before upgrading.
I have been running it since the release, on a production machine that I use about 10 hours a day for work in an enterprise environment. I’ve not yet had a crash (same with 4.3.3).
So yes, I feel it’s stable, but again I don’t have any more then 15 “Plasmoids”.
Thank you..

I had much difficulty with openSuSE 11.2′s NetworkManager-kde4. A patched version was just released to the official updates. The NetworkManager-kde4 in this repository does not have these fixes.

Hi,
What arch are you having issues with? What are the symptoms you have? Do you have a Novell Bugzilla associated with it? I’d be interested .
Also, do you know which version of NetworkManager-kde4 fixes this, so I can give it a shot (I typically use the standard ifup), but would be interested in knowing about these issues.
Thank you
I get “not found”…

For oS 11.2, Is there a way to upgrade to KDE 4.3.4 through Yast (GUI) by adding repo’s and then update ?
What repositories need to be added to Yast (Software Mgt module) ?
Try:
sudo zypper mr -r openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE43
sudo zypper mr -r openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE43\ Community
Guessing the for loop doesn’t like the spaces, would have to quote them.. but yeah.. use the above and you’ll be rocking
Yes, there is a way you can do it in the GUI, but NOT with the list of Community Repositories. To add it via the GUI do:
(in a terminal)
kdesu yast2 repositories
or open
YaST –> Software –> Software Repositories
Add –> Specify URL
Repository Name:
openSUSE 11.2 KDE 43
URL:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.2/
Press Next
and
Repository Name:
openSUSE 11.2 KDE43 Community
URL:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE_43/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE_43/
Press Next
Now you can run:
sudo zypper dup, or in Software Management you can select the repository and upgrade that way.

Hi,
I’m curious if you start upgrade from Yast how it’ll do it and on the same keep your KDE session running?..
As well, “zypper dup” listing too much packages to reinstall (not only KDE) and it makes me afraid little bit.. Any way to upgrade only KDE-related packages from zypper or Yast?..
Thank you for your help!
Rgds,

@Dimitri
Howdy,
Yes if you used the above methods to upgrading you should be able to sudo zypper dup -r ““.. I haven’t tried to do it via a pattern, but that would be a nice thing to try..
I’ll give it a go when I have a few minutes free.
@ben
yes, it should work (seems to be processing correctly with a “dry run”):
# zypper dup -r 2 -r 8
(2 and 8 are order numbers for KDE4 and KDE4:Community repos from “zyppe lr”)
Need to reserve a time slice to apply changes
Thank you!
