I’m currently using a Minisforum UM700 Manjaro Edition as my daily driver. I just updated to the 6.9.0-1 kernel, and I have 767 updates to install; however, the GUI updater keeps failing, and when I try updating via terminal, this is what I get:
sudo pacman -Syu

(That error at the end is the same one that the GUI updater gives me, too.)
This may not be entirely straightforward: plasma5-themes-breath is required by plasma-theme-minisforum, which is required by minisforum-kde-settings, which conflicts with manjaro-kde-settings.
Maybe someone associated with the Minisforum project can provide Zakanuva with some guidance. Will minisforum-kde-settings be updated for Plasma 6, and if not, can minisforum-kde-settings be safely replaced by manjaro-kde-settings?
I didn’t have minisforum-kde-settings installed at all, and when I tried installing it just now, it failed because of that conflict with manjaro-kde-settings just like you mentioned.
I’ve successfully uninstalled manjaro-kde-settings, but when I tried to install minisforum-kde-settings to replace it, I just got the same error about plasma5-themes-breath again…
Same machine, same problem. sudo pacman -Rc plasma-theme-minisforum set me straight. Proceded with the full upgrade, no problems. Thank you! And has someone told Minisforum about this?
Did that; had to reboot a couple times and lost the old wallpaper and some other details, but almost all the updates/upgrades work now. Now my problem is that electron22 won’t update…
The last lines that the GUI updater’s backend gives me is:
RuntimeError: gsutil failed to download "gs://chromium-optimization-profiles/pgo_profiles/chrome-linux-5359-1669828006-dacdfc44d4f579ebe8c296dd8005586434849f0e.profdata"

- removing electron22 breaks dependency 'electron22' required by revolt-desktop-git
Do other versions of Revolt not use electron22, or is that app just not usable on Manjaro anymore?
Uninstalled them both, installed electron22-bin, and reinstalled revolt-desktop-git; it required a reboot to finish the job, but everything’s updated now and there don’t appear to be any remaining issues.
