how do u upgrade from kde 3.0.5a to 3.1 <redhat 8>
i'm using redhat 8 and i need help in upgrading my kde.
so how could this be done? i'm still new at linux so please take me step by step!!! |
go to rpmfind.net and search for kdebase and download the rpm file. then try to install it: rpm -Uvh kdebase.....rpm it will then say that it needs a b and c, so go get those from rpmfind aswell, and add them to the SAME command line as kdebase and keep going until everything installs happily
|
thank you for ur reply!
but what do u mean by the same command line as kdebase? and for the kdebase do i download this one? <kdebase-3.1-0.9.i386.htmlK Desktop Environment - core filesRawHide 1.0 for i386kdebase-3.1-0.9.i386.rpm> i am using i386 btw |
This is how I updated kde when I used a rpm based distro, HTH...
Find out what kde pkgs you already have installed. rpm -qa kde Get the equivalent pkgs of the newer version and put them in an empty folder and in that folder create another one specifically for kdelibs and kdebase [...or any pkg you'll need to install individually]. Once you got all the required files d/l'ed, cd to where kdelib and kdebase are and install them , kdelib first, then kdebase. If it turns up dependencies error but only with the older version of kde, [...like kdelib-3.0.5 is needed by kdexxx-3.0.5] use the --force switch, otherwise, meet the dependencies first by upgrading the related pkgs. Then cd ../ to get to the rest of the pkgs and basically rpm -Uvh *.rpm to install the rest in one command, use --force again if required. Also make sure your actual versions of arts and qt are compatible with kde-3.1. If they aren't, they must be updated first. |
