Comments on: KDE 4.2.4 Released http://www.freetechie.com/blog/kde-424-released/ In the world of linux your boundaries are free Sat, 31 Jul 2010 11:56:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: OldAl http://www.freetechie.com/blog/kde-424-released/comment-page-1/#comment-8287 OldAl Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:33:38 +0000 http://www.benkevan.com/blog/?p=552#comment-8287 I used the commands as per your instructions: sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/42/openSUSE_11.1/ KDE\ 4 sudo zypper mr -r KDE\ 4 sudo zypper up -y -r KDE\ 4 There is now a repository in the Yast list that corresponds to KDE4, so that is ok. Otherewise, all I get from the zypper is "Nothing to do". Clearly there is some (probably obvious) step, viz. update KDE4, that I need to do as the Computer -> System Information shows KDE 4.1.3, which is what I had all along. IMHO, I think it would be useful to mention this missing step in your now widely accepted blog. OldAl. I used the commands as per your instructions:

sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/42/openSUSE_11.1/ KDE\ 4
sudo zypper mr -r KDE\ 4
sudo zypper up -y -r KDE\ 4

There is now a repository in the Yast list that corresponds to KDE4, so that is ok. Otherewise, all I get from the zypper is “Nothing to do”.

You have to accept the key, as long as you trust them.

@RGB
I’ve run into past issues where something in the backport repository was required (I think it was qt, and was with KDE 4.1 to 4.2.. not 100% sure though, so to simplify things I just add it). This is also required when upgrading GNOME.

May I ask why? Just curiosity, don’t get me wrong ;) I’m on 4.2.4 now without backport repository and feel really happy. Looking at the package list here
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_11.1/x86_64/
I can’t see why I need to add that repository. There are some newer _builds_, OK, but not newer _versions_.
