Hi everyone,

first I installed opensuse11.1 32-bit it recognize and work few things,but I research and I update to KDE4.2X.
I restarted my computer I get an error about plasma.
So I reinstall it again.
My question is how can I update my plasma?
Oooh I`m starting linux the first time

Open YaST > Software Repositories. Add this repository - http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_11.1/
Then set its priority to "10" and accept.

Next open YaST > Software Management. Set the filter to repositories, and select the newly added KDE 4.2 repository. From the menus then select Package > All in this list > Update if newer version available, then accept.

If it displays any error messages before accept then cancel immediately. If it displays a error during the update, skip the error and at the end run Software Management again, repeating the above steps, but skip the Software Repositories part.

Then, using factory repos is a bad idea. The factory repos contains development packages for the next openSUSE release. You will find problems using those packages: mainly small problems/annoyances, but problems after all, and you will need to know how to face them.
Run a search in the openSUSE forums to see what happened to people enabling factory repos in openSUSE 11.0... Just to get an idea.

Okay when I click on that http://download.opensuse.org/repositorie...SUSE_11.1/ which one (folder/icon) should I click then.

Open Konsole and execute these commands, then log out and back in again: These will fully update your system to KDE 4.2.

Code: Select all

sudo zypper ar -n kde42 -c -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/
sudo zypper mr kde42 -p 10
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper dup -l -r kde42

If any errors are encountered, please post the errors back here. If packages cannot be found, ignore them ( enter 'i' ) then afterwards run steps 3 and 4 again.

Oh yes I will bring up any error of course one question is
sudo zypper dup -l This l is lower L is that right and do I have to go to root

Yes it is a lower case "L". You only need to provide your root password when it asks for it, you can do this from a ordinary user terminal.

Well something going on:

ar -n kde42 -c -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_11.1/

The problem you're having is that you're not typing the full command. What you're typing is

Code: Select all

ar -n kde42 -c -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositorie...SUSE_11.1/

You need to type 'sudo zypper' before the rest. For example :

Code: Select all

sudo zypper ar -n kde42 -c -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/

If you do not have sudo zypper before, your system won't know what to do. sudo is the command to let your normal user run a command as root. And zypper is the program you're using to upgrade.
