I don’t think you can ignore specific packages with discover.

But to update while ignoring you can do:
sudo pacman -Syu --ignore kwin --ignore kwayland-server

Set
IgnorePkg = kwin kwayland-server
in
/etc/pacman.conf

It works for pacman and should work with discover too.
But try this out with an other package before.

Argh! Any hints on how to fix a system after updating? Boot is just stuck at KDE logo and SSH doesn’t work.

I used ALT+CTRL+F2 to open the terminal, logged in, connected wifi, then set to the stable channel, rolled back the update, and then went from there.

There’s probably a more efficient or easier way to do it, but that’s just what I went with to get things running again.

Just a heads up. The Dev images have started working again, so no need to ignore kwin and kwayland-server anymore. :slight_smile:

On Pinephone I upgraded and still had the same issue. Also on stable. Ignoring kwin and kwayland-server did not help. Any ideas @Strit?
