Don't know if anyone else has seen this, but I was getting a message saying that either the gstreamer or xine (or both, depending on what was installed) backend couldn't be opened (these are the KDE phonon audio layer implementations) at startup and when someone IMed me on Kopete. Also, in the sound section (click on the speaker) of "System Settings" I had the error message: The shared library was not found. Library "kcm_phonon" not found. Also, the KDE GUI to start things as root (kdesu) didn't work - it never opened the command. Anyway, the solution is to force Yast to reload the kdebase4-runtime package. Somehow some of those libraries has been deleted. That seems to fix everything! Andrew

I don't normally care about spelling errors here (usually, I hope, typing mistakes), but.... ow....

This page seems to be getting hits for "KDE4.1 Opensuse". If people are coming here looking for advice on whether to try this out, I would give a strong recommendation - it works well and looks great. I should qualify that by saying that I am using the latest build from these repositories (amongst others): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_11.0/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_11.0/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_11.0/ You can find these at http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories and http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories Please don't rely on initial reports about KDE 4.0 - the current builds are way, way better.
