Hi,
After installing a small cli installation i wanted to install a kde desktop however a lot of conflicting packages occured.
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Sy kde

Hi @stormschip,
I believe the (meta)package you’re looking for is plasma-desktop:
$ pacman -Qs "^p.*desktop"
local/plasma-desktop 6.5.6-1 (plasma)
KDE Plasma Desktop
So install that, rather:
sudo pacman -S plasma-desktop

Thanks this went well. scripting adjusted
In virtualbox i made this install. noticed that when switching to wayland the yellow wayland icon shows up many times. Switching back to x11 and all went good. Has this perhaps something to do with virtualbox ?
Meaning no problem switching to wayland however when this icon every time shows up it gets annoying.
Hopefully it’s a bug and is solved in future vb releases and i am not the only one with this feature
Probably a bad mirror. Resync and update first before trying to install anything.
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu
And don’t post pictures of text.

Don’t use -Sy without a u, that’s how partial updates happen. It may (or may not) have contributed to the package conflicts.

Not just on Virtualbox. See here:
Ir’s not a bug in Virtualbox or Wayland, as I understand it. I don’t really know where, but I think it might be in X11. But it’s only a thought and I might be wrong.
Hi,
plasma-meta also ok to install. Noticed in stable i could not adjust a spacer to flexible size.
When i went to unstable that all worked ok.
I guess a bug that is solved with higher plasma release.
Learning all the time

Yes, there was — past tense from KDE’s perspective, because they’re already far ahead of us — indeed a bug related to Plasma’s panel settings, and it has in the meantime been fixed upstream.
