GNOME 3.0 in openSUSE 11.4
openSUSE 11.4 was released with GNOME 2.32, but we know people want to enjoy the elegant design of GNOME 3. So the GNOME team has been working hard to provide GNOME 3.0 on openSUSE 11.4. We know you'll love it!
How to update openSUSE 11.4 to GNOME 3.0
Please read the instructions carefully before doing the update.
One-click install (recommended)
First, be sure to open a terminal before starting the upgrade process (you will it needs it to restart your system when upgrade is complete), and close all other running applications.
Use the following 1-Click button:
| For x86 32bit openSUSE 11.4 |
|---|
|
| For x86 64bit openSUSE 11.4 |
|---|
|
|
Follow the instructions you'll get on screen. When the upgrade is complete, in the terminal opened before starting the upgrade, reboot your system:
If you forgot to open a terminal, right click on desktop background and choose "open a terminal" to get one.
Text upgrade
If you prefer to use a text upgrade, do the following (as root), after closing all running applications:
- To make sure your update will be still running, in the unlikely event your graphical session terminate, start screen : # screen
- add GNOME:STABLE:3.0 repository: # zypper ar obs://GNOME:STABLE:3.0/openSUSE_11.4 GNOME_STABLE_3.0
- ensure it is configured as auto-refresh and get more priority than other openSUSE 11.4 repositories: # zypper mr -p 98 -r GNOME_STABLE_3.0

FAQ
I upgraded to GNOME 3.0, but I have a bug. Where should I report it?
Please file a bug against openSUSE 11.4 and put [gnome3] in the summary of the bug.
I installed (openSUSE) GNOME 3 live image on my system, what should I do to get the latest packages?
You should switch repository which was providing GNOME 3 to GNOME:STABLE:3.0. Here is how to do this (as root):
- add GNOME:STABLE:3.0 repository to your system : # zypper ar obs://GNOME:STABLE:3.0/openSUSE_11.4 GNOME_STABLE_3.0
- ensure it is configured as auto-refresh and get more priority than other openSUSE 11.4 repositories: # zypper mr -p 98 -r GNOME_STABLE_3.0
- remove old repository : # zypper rr home:fcrozat:gnome3_11.4
- upgrade your system to use new repository: # zypper dup
- reboot your system (because many libraries changed in the process)
Known issues
- GNOME Shell requires 3D (openGL) support which is not currently stable enough in VirtualBox or VMWare. We recommend you disable 3D support in those environment and use GNOME 3 Fallback mode instead (it will be selected automatically).
- NetworkManager 0.9, required by GNOME 3, has currently the following issues :
- KDE 4 will not correctly detect network availability : you might want to switch to "traditional method with ifup" in Yast network settings, or use nm-applet (from NetworkManager-gnome package) in KDE. This issue will be fixed in next openSUSE release
- Editing and enabling WPA-Entreprise wifi networks is not available from GNOME Shell network extension or GNOME Control Center network panel. This issue will be fixed shortly.
- novellvpn support is not available : this issue is under investigation
- root password is asked when configuring WEP/WPA account
- autologin configuration in User Account panel is incorrect. Until this bug is fixed, use Yast (User and Group Management / Expert Options / Login settings / Autologin) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688071
- root password is asked when package repository are being updated to check for security updates.
- Additional packages need to be installed if using the above instructions on a KDE based OpenSuse 11.4 installation
- Nautilus hangs on right-click > properties at present the workaround is to uninstall nautilus-extension-tracker-tags. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689447
