Upgrading to KDE 3.2
Alright, I just downloaded a bunch of KDE 3.2 RPMs.. To upgrade from 3.1, do I just run every single RPM, or what?
|
if suse manages rpms like redhat, then all you have to do is
rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm if you get a bunch of dependency errors, correct those first it may also be a good idea to delete the old rpms of kde if possible |
But that is all I need to do, right? Just installing a bunch of RPMs one after another?
|
yup, and i just checked the kde website and there doesn't seem to be any particular order you need to install them
|
>>>disclaimer, i've done this but this may not work for you<<<
first backup your inportant files, then copy $HOME/.kde to $HOME/.kde31, do the same with /root/.kde install id3lib, gnokii, flac, taglib and libjasper(needed by 3.2). then uninstall kdebase3-suse, k3b, and your kde-devel packages,(to help avoid dependency issues). put all kde3.2 packages in a directory by themselves, drop to runlevel 3 (type init 3 at a root term) hit f2 to clear the suse splash screen if needed, login as root, cd to the directory where you saved the 3.2 packages, and type rpm -Uvh *.rpm . install or remove any remaining packages rpm complains about until you get a successful upgrade. then run SuSEconfig, then ldconfig . then rm -f /tmp/kde-* then either type init 5 or reboot good luck |
Even better way to upgrade KDE on SuSE:
1) Backup your files 2) Start SuSE in Failsafe mode 3) cd to directory containing ALL new KDE rpms 4) run yast2 --install *.rpm Yast would take care to upgrade/install nedeed rpm packages ! |
just open a term window and cd into the directory containing all the .rpm files you downloaded.
su [enter] rpm -Uvh *.rpm [enter] |
Hello there:
I downloaded the rpms for KDE 3.2 from the kde website and installed them on my machine runnign SuSE 9.0 pro, after I did that I lost many of the things from SuSE such as SuSE watcher and the SuSE plugger. Are there special packages of KDE 3.2 for SuSE ?? I am downloading the rpms from the suse website now, are those the packages I need to install? Thanks in advance |

I suggest you to download all of the base and devel packages, and for Internationalization and application specific packages to make your own selection. Regards, |
I'm hunting for the libjasper 1.700.so.1 and just can't find it anywhere. I have also the following dependency error: trm is needed by kdemultimedia-3.2.0-0.fdr.2.rh90
These are the only 2 dependencies I have left (after a full day of searching, you gotta love RPM's), can anybody tell me where to find those last 2? |
There is actually an order in which you should install these RPMS
http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/install.html |
"arts and then kdelibs should be installed before everything else, and kdeaddons last. The other packages can be installed in any arbitrary order."
This the only mention I found about any order, and when I start with just arts, it's dependencies keep on growing, I keep on adding, until all rpm's I already downloaded are in it and I still arrive at the same point. |
vbraca,
Your instructions worked for me perfectly! Thank you for that. I am missing some shortcuts to the C & D drives, cdroms etc... on the desktop, but the thing booted at least lol. That was the easiest way by far! |
Larsin, can you tell me if you had to download any rtm or libjasper rpm's and if so, where did you get them?
|
Let me check, I think I still have them in a folder, I will try and paste them here in a sec...
Here is everything I downloaded. I made a folder in my home directory called kde32, then downloaded all of these: arts-1.2.0-3.i586.rpm arts-gmcop-1.2.0-3.i586.rpm kdeaddons3-games-3.2.0-12.i586.rpm kdeaddons3-konqueror-3.2.0-12.i586.rpm kdeaddons3-sound-3.2.0-12.i586.rpm kdeadmin3-3.2.0-2.i586.rpm kdeartwork3-3.2.0-10.i586.rpm kdeartwork3-sound-3.2.0-10.i586.rpm kdeartwork3-xscreensaver-3.2.0-10.i586.rpm kdebase3-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdebase3-devel-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdebase3-extra-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdebase3-kdm-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdebase3-ksysguardd-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdebase3-nsplugin-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdeedu3-3.2.0-3.i586.rpm kdegames3-3.2.0-3.i586.rpm kdegraphics3-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdegraphics3-3D-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdegraphics3-tex-3.2.0-7.i586.rpm kdelibs3-3.2.0-2.i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-3.2.0-8.i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-CD-3.2.0-8.i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-jukebox-3.2.0-8.i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-midi-3.2.0-8.i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-sound-3.2.0-8.i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-video-3.2.0-8.i586.rpm kdenetwork3-3.2.0-2.i586.rpm kdenetwork3-lan-3.2.0-2.i586.rpm kdenetwork3-vnc-3.2.0-2.i586.rpm libart_lgpl-2.3.16-26.i586.rpm libxml2-2.5.11-12.i586.rpm libxslt-1.0.33-12.i586.rpm qt3-3.3.0-34.i586.rpm qt3-extensions-3.3.0-33.i586.rpm taglib-1.0-8.i586.rpm Hope that helps you. |
