1st of all i will thank Carl(Moderator) from openSUSE forum, whose help is appreciated in this process.

Upgrading from KDE 4.3.1 to 4.3.3/4 is not that cumbersome task, i will guide here with snapshots which will make the upgrading process more easier. So lets start…

1- Add the following repositories in YaST -> Software Repositories -> Click Add button -> Choose specify URL and click Next

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.2/

For some community softwares add this repo following the above steps:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2_KDE_43/

2- Now open Software management from YaST, select Repositories tab and then select the repo you just added(In my case i name it ‘KDE4.3.x‘), and click on “Switch system packages“. Do the same with the community repo too.

3- Click the “Accept” button, and you are done. YaST will download and install the latest packages for KDE. After that logout and login to the desktop to see the new changes.

4- Open ‘konqueror file browser’(My Computer), and check the information ‘OS information‘, OR from any software menu check out ‘Help‘ you can see the changes in ‘About KDE‘.
