First i would like to
advise that we do recommend smart as the
install/update/remove tool.
|
||
|
To upgrade kde you must first add the needed urpmi repositories |
||
| main, contrib, plf-free and plf-non-free from the site Easyurpmi. | ||
|
Then add MDE repository, in a console as root enter: |
||
|
urpmi.addmedia
--update MDE http://www.mde.djura.org/2008.1_64/RPMS with hdlist.cz
|
||
|
Note:
|
instead using the file hdlist.cz you can optionally use the file synthesis.hdlist.cz |
|
|
that will take much less time to download however haves less information |
||
|
After
the repositories are added, install smart, in a
console as root type: urpmi smart-gui
|
||
|
|
||
|
Now
you are ready to start upgrading kde, in a console just type "smart-root"
and select the packages
|
||
|
you want to
upgrade, or you can just use the default tool rpmdrake.
|
||
|
But
instead you can in a console as root enter the command "urpmi
--auto-select" that will
|
||
|
auto select and install
all upgradable packages. Remember that when upgrading between versions
|
||
|
(and said
version not release), it can appear some problems like having some
toolbar menus repeated.
|
||
|
In this case we recommend
to first remove the installed kde version by running the mentioned tool
|
||
|
smart
or rpmdrake, or instead in a console as root run "urpme
lib64kdecore4".
|
||
|
|
||
| After kde packages are removed you don´t need to leave the session, you can install the new kde rpms. | ||
| However you can instead as root run the command "init 3" that will put you in text mode, from there | ||
| you can run "urpmi --auto-select" that will auto select and install the packages, after installing | ||
| the rpms, type "init 5" that will put you back in graphic mode or simply just reboot the system. | ||
| Also instead entering "init 3" text mode, you can for example logout kde sesion and enter a | ||
| ICEwm session and from a console as root enter "urpmi --auto-select" or just run rpmdrake and | ||
| select the packages you wish to install, if choosing to use rpmdrake we recommend to select the | ||
| kde suite wrappers packages (ie. kdelibs-suite, kdebase-suite, kdemultimedia-suite, etc), | ||
| since they will auto select the restant packages of that kde module in question. | ||
| If still having any doubts, you can enter IRC (using for example the irc clients kvirc or xChat), connect | ||
| to a Freenode server (ie. irc.freenode.net), enter channel #MDE and ask us any question directly. | ||
| Good luck and have fun :) | ||
