Suse 10.0
by Med on Saturday 12/Nov/2005, @00:39

Is there a standard way to install kde 3.5 RC1 on Suse ? I'd prefer to add a source to Yast and then update rather than playing directly with rpm. Thanks.

I checked the ftp-site, but did not find any yast-specific directories/files on it.
So you can't use the ftp directory as yast source.
But you can try to do the following:

1 - download all files to a local directory, then right click on that directory and select [Actions->add directory as yast source] (or similar option)

2 - download all files to a local directory, open a konsole, go to that directory and type "kdesu "/sbin/yast2 -i *.rpm"

Thank you very much, option 1 worked perfectly. However now the graphical login screen doesn't work anymore. I guess it has something to do with kdm. Any idea ? Thanks.

Try adding their KDE yast-sources from the supplementary folder.

http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.3/yast-source/

This source should be updated with new KDE packages, don't forget to "refresh" the source to see the updated packages. Now open the "Yast software installation", make sure you see all packages in the "Installation overview" (by enabling the "Keep" option). Right click on the package list, choose "Upgrade when new version available".

It's somewhat a hack, but it works if you want to upgrade packages :-p
