Phantom Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I'm nearly done downloading the Special Club Edition with KDE 3.4, how could I upgrade my 2005LE edition with ONLY the KDE packages as I don't want to loose my urpmi sources, updates, etc.. who are not supported on the new version. Or should I used thac's rpms ? if yes, what is the best way to install then, as clean as possible without kde and then through urpmi install thac's rpms ? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 In MCC, software, configuration uncheck all present repositories. Add the CDs and install kde. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 In MCC, software, configuration uncheck all present repositories. Add the CDs and install kde. :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just read that some people have trouble installing stuff like Amarok. Now I have more or less good experience with Thac's rpm's, they had a few minor instability bugs and they screwed up KDM, but that's not a problem, we have GDM. So that is leaving me now with several options: 1. Install 2005LE Official and upgrade with KDE 3.4 Club rpms, but I would loose apps like Amarok but keep security updates. 2. Install CLUB 3.4 and loose apps + updates but have more chance of getting a stable system 3. Install 2005LE + Club 3.4 rpms and upgrade with Thac rpms to 3.4.1, maybe less stable but I would get apps + updates What would you suggest. All this with the goal off getting a KDE 3.4(.1) system and keep all goodies I paid for (Updates + URPMI sources). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I just gave the club edition a spin for the fun of it Funny, but I still got security updates comming in by adding my regular urpmi sources, mandriva did claim that there wouldn't be any updates :unsure: As I needed to have amarok, and I didn't think about keeping this system, I thought why not try to upgrade to 3.4.1 with Thac's rpm's, well to my surprise this went perfect. I'll keep it a few days running and we'll see, up till now everything looks nice B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thac Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 if you upgraded to thacs kde then why dont you install my amarok built against kde-3.4.1 also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Thac, I did, that's why I use your RPMS ;) It's a shame that things went they did on the Mandrake Club board because honestly I appreciate your work. Thanks to you I have know a fully working Mandriva + KDE 3.4.1 + all the tools, simply perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
