Upgrade KDE 3.1.4 => 3.2
I'm running SUSE 9 and am trying to upgrade from KDE 3.1.4 to 3.2. I'm also pretty new to Linux.
To test the 'base' packages, I run:
rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm
I get the following:
error: Failed dependencies:
kdebase3-SuSE <= 9.0 conflicts with kdebase3-3.2.0-7
libkateinterfaces.so is needed by (installed) kdeaddons3-kate-3.1.4-35
libkmultitabbar.so.0 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons3-kate-3.1.4-35
libkonqsidebarplugin.so.0 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons3-konqueror-3.1.4-35
I know I need to remove kdebase3-SuSE, so that's not a problem. But what about the libs for kdeaddons3? All three files currently exist.....I don't understand what this is telling me.
Can anyone please explain?
Thanks...
I found that with
SuSE 8.1 I had to
FORCE the installation. This is not always the best idea with installations, but if you feel uncomfortable with such a plan perhaps you may want to upgrade to
3.1.5. There is a speed difference and security patches, however
KDE 3.2 is much better.
Just use a this command:
rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm
Install the
BASE files and go from there.
Good luck.

rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm
Isn't that going to open a whole new can of worms? I remember doing that a couple of years ago and I had some series problems after! :cry: Also I am sure there must be a way to script the installation, so that if there is a dependency it checks in the installation directory to see if the required rpm is there and apply that one first.
Just a thought.
The Best Games are for Download @
GCCLINUX
login under failsafe mode
switch to root (su)
move to the directory which contains the rpm files
/sbin/yast --install *.rpm
yast should now install all the rpms and solve any conflicts or dependencies
Forgive a newbie question....
I *think* I upgraded to kde 3.2. I updated all the kde packages from the ftp.mirror.ac.uk mirror and YAST seemed happy enough. Some things have definitely changed from my 3.1 version BUT the 'KDE is loading' screen is still displaying the 3.1 version number. This has got me slighly worried, am I running 3.2, 3.1 or some screwed up kludge of the two.
Is there some way that I can make sure that
1. All the 3.2 packages are properly installed.
2. I'm actually using them.
and are there any additional actions I should perform to clear out remenants of the older KDE installation?
Thank you for any advice,

Hello,
One easy way to check KDE version is from help menu, about KDE, does it say 3.1.* or 3.2. About checking installed packages one might try this on konsole:
rpm -qa | grep -i kde
Siili teki maalin.
The steps for upgrading KDE to 3.2 is pretty well explained at
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/kde31to32.html.
But for that, you should have apt4rpm:
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/
Apt4rpm is an Apt-get (from debian fame) clone that use RPM files instead of DEBs. It should solve all of your dependency problems. I have followed their tutorial and it worked 3 times without a hitch :wink: .
I do have the thing. I want to upgrade from 3.1.4 to 3.2. but have not been able to find a propper way of doing it. I am an absolute beginner in Linux.
Is there anybody who can give straight forward instructions (step by step) - (thinking of a person who doesn't know what ./configure and so on means)
I want to run the new Quanta and need 3.2 to have all the features I need.
I am running SUSE 9.0 Pro :cry: Please help.

KDE 3.2 uses the same ~/.kde dir so you may have settings there that override the 'kde-config --prefix' settings. Have you installed a custom splash screen?
Try to change the splash screen trough kcontrol under Appearence & themes (Fedora).
3.2.1
when i type rpm -Uvh *.rpm i get this error quanta-3.2 failed

hmm, are you sure it's a job for an absolute beginnner?
It's not so straight forward to do due to many dependencies in libraries etc and you may get a wrong impression of Linux for failure in such a move.
