Hi all,

I have a OpenSUSE 11.2 in my PC. I installed KDE SC 4.4 RC 1 but there appears to be conflicts between the Packman k3b/k3b-codecs packages and the new KDE build. so it does not work. Can anybody have some idea about install KDE SC 4.4 RC 1 in OpenSUSE 11.2. Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

If you want, you can set both repositories to refresh automatically by doing this command:
sudo zypper mr -r openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE\ Factory\ Community && sudo zypper mr -r openSUSE\ 11.2\ KDE\ Factory\ Desktop
Now you can update your installation by this command

My lovely desktop will get a big step up in the next openSUSE release. It will come with the latest version of KDE 4.4. The KDE community has permanent over 10,000 bugs and implemented almost 2,000 feature requests in the last 6 months. Close to 63,000 changes were tartan in by a little under 700 contributors. I have used KDE 4.4 on openSUSE 11.1 since release day. It is constant and collapse free . Most important KDE3 applications have been ported to KDE4.
