openSUSE 11.1 : ATI Catalyst™ 9.2 Proprietary Linux Display Driver

March 13th, 2009

I didn’t notice that new fglrx driver had been released in February 20th after finding that my RSS feed didn’t tell me any update of new driver releases these days. It’s strange, until I recognize the feed URL has been changed to the new one.

KDE Four (4.2.1) Live CD Released

March 10th, 2009
From openSUSE

Stephan Binner announced the release of New KDE Four Live CD which is built from installable openSUSE 11.1 based Live CD with KIWI. This Live CD contains the latest KDE 4 (4.2.1) packages, KOffice 2.0 Beta 7 and much more from the openSUSE Build Service. See the announcement for details.

From openSUSE-Id Team, Adi Nugroho gave an option how to have a clean installation of KDE 4 on openSUSE machine (in Bahasa Indonesia) than the usual way, which is good start to have KDE 4.2.1 installed on your machine.

The steps required are only by installing this Live CD first, and then update other packages from its repositories. Done! ;)

See here to add package repositories to YaST.

Guys.. Lets konquer the KDE then! :P

The image above doesn’t represent the KDE Four Live CD told in this post, it’s only my current desktop captured on my existing openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.2.1.

Clean to Cream!

KDE 4.2 Released

No, it isn’t about (Ice) Cream you usually have in your daily dessert :P . It is about (briefly) getting “Cream” (a.k.a KDE 4.2.1) from KDE4:Factory Repository to your openSUSE machine.

see info page to find the way for other distros.

For you who had unlucky experience in using previous KDE 4 version, KDE 4.2.0 (that luckily works fine on my laptop flawlessly), KDE Community (yesterday) has announced this release with many enhancements and bugfixes included in the package, that will bring you to better and stable life :D . See the Changelog for the detail.

No time to wait, just launch your favorite software management, I’m using YaST Software Management right now, then (again) let the magic: Update If Newer Version Available works for you the same way as you have already done in previous release ;) or use this for Zypper user.

And.. Have a lot of fun, guys! ;)
