    Update KDE to the latest version of openSUSE 11.4

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”60″>

    May 23, 2011 – by MetalByte

    0 comments

    If your system is openSUSE 11.4 and KDE your desktop, this version is 4.6.0. It’s easy to update and upgrade the entire environment to the latest version . Let’s see how.

    KDE KDE OS Update to the latest version of openSUSE 11.4

    Before giving the instructions, it should be noted that although is deemed reliable method , there is never one hundred percent sure nothing in matters of software, so go or not these steps is responsibility of each . Moreover, whatever your experience as a user, you must have good backups , just in case.

    upgrade to new versions of KDE can be done via YaST, but it is faster and reliable face it the zypper command line . Three steps are enough (always as root):

    This adds the repository SC KDE 4.6 for openSUSE 11.4 . At this time the update will SC KDE 4.6.3, when leaving the following will be added to upgrades that you have pending, and so on (you only have two updates to the current desktop branch, and in no case be updated SC KDE 4.7 when it comes out).

    action will update the repository , the next will start the Desktop Update and its components.

    Possible problems that you can find:

    zypper reports errors with packages and given a choice between breaking units or keep the old version of a package, do not break anything , keep the version Future updates will be responsible for solving the problem.

    once you have updated it to reboot (mandatory) and your password, you turn to again and again to the login screen, choose the option Session Type environment to log in, it would be “ KDE Plasma Workspace “.

    Once the desktop should update the system , either from Konsole (“zypper up” as root), either from YaST.

    With this update to the latest version of KDE SC not only find a more polished desktop, there are extra gifts in the form of the latest versions of applications like Amarok 2.4.1, Choqok 1.1, Kaffeine 1.2.2, among other not so nice (depending on your setup package).

    Another thing to keep in mind is that if this post is directed solely to openSUSE 11.4 is for good reason: if upgrading from KDE 4.5 to KDE SC SC 4.6 can cause more a problem with desktop settings and it works, let alone from the SC KDE 4.4 that comes with openSUSE 11.3.

    ‘Linux’, the latest police operation against ETA

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”36″>

    January 14, 2011 – by MetalByte

    7 comments

    ‘Operation Linux’, and was called the latest police action against ETA network , a name that has bothered many people and by yesterday the Spanish Interior Ministry was forced to give explanations at the same time apologize for any misunderstanding.

    GNU / Linux

    If you are up to date with general news of the main Spanish media, you will not escape the latest police operation against ETA this week, where he was arrested one of the foremost experts in computer science from the terrorist group.

    Ignoring the story itself, which as you will understand we will not refer beyond what is written, the name chosen for this operation by the police authorities has not sat well in the national technology forums, so yesterday same Interior Ministry published a statement in which he offered apologies and clarifications :

    Clarification of the Ministry of Interior on the name of the latest police operation carried out against the terrorist group ETA

    MADRID, January 12, 2011 .- The last operation conducted by the Guardia Civil and the French anti-terrorist services against the terrorist group ETA and that led to the arrest of Iraitz Gesalaga Fernandez, one of the leading experts in computer science from the terrorist group ETA, was named ‘Linux’. Given the coincidence of a name under the trade name of some companies and organizations and to the misunderstanding that this coincidence might cause, the Home Office wants to clarify that:

    1. The name of the operation meets the operational criteria of the Security Forces of the State, choosing the names of operations with the aim of identifying their research internally.
    2. avoid security forces, as a general rule, use of trade names in any business or organization. In the case of the operation ‘Linux’, the name matches the name of an operating system used in their research for their own security forces.
    3. Interior Ministry regrets the coincidence between the trade name of some companies and other organizations and the damage it may cause.
    4. Similarly, the Home Office is grateful for the free development of technology based on the Linux operating system, driven by users, organizations and businesses, and is an extremely useful tool for research by the Forces and State Security Forces to ensure the safety of citizens.
