Plasma desktop broken after update

[ardv]

i’m using testing branch
i wanted to update plasma to version 6 from teminal with this command:
sudo pacman -S plasma-workspace plasma-desktop gwenview dolphin baloo-widgets kate poppler-glib poppler-qt5
i wlways get a list of files that cannot be written
so i’ve added this to that command:
--overwrite '*'
after rebooting the plasma desktop gui is not working

i tried to make a full system upgrade but i get an error:

sudo pacman -Syu

[HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ Formatting differences Discourse – this forum’s engine – uses Markdown to format its posts, and removes “unnecessary” whitespace. Terminal commands often produce output formatted so that they are better readable by the user, taking advantage of the monospaced font used. Programming code often rely on indentation to make it more readable. Using preformatting in Markdown Markdown includes a pattern to provide preformatting when necessary.

yes ? read questions if no version in package name, version is for (kde) 6

[ardv]

yes you are right. but the problem is with:

:: removing plasma-integration breaks dependency 'plasma-integration' required by plasma-workspace

that error is shown in pamac-manager also

edit: after i choosed no to that questions the problem seems to disappear now it takes me to downloading the files
i will truy it and tell you

thank you

That doesnt make much sense.

When we upgrade, we upgrade everything.

Otherwise you are attempting for a ‘partial upgrade’ which is equal to broken.

@ardv

–overwrite ‘*’

Rarely, if ever, should you use this.

@ardv

sudo pacman -Syu

There we go. Use this.

Now I am extra confused.

@ardv

with this command: sudo pacman -S plasma-workspace plasma-desktop gwenview dolphin baloo-widgets kate poppler-glib poppler-qt5

That’s not how you upgrade system. It is, however, how you do a partial upgrade and break stuff. Also, at one point you had to use -Sy.

Anyway, no idea why plasma5-integration would want to replace plasma-integration. Say no to it. And double check if your mirror is synced.

yes plasma-workspace (6) require plasma-integration (6) and not plasma5-integration

why plasma5-integration would want to replace plasma-integration

I also had these inversions … pacman sorts packages alphabetically to resolve conflicts ?

[cscs]

Yeah but they said they entered ‘no’ and it was able to continue…
(skipping all the other mishandling etc … that doesnt make sense to me)

[ardv]

i have a problem when trying a full upgrade
after few minutes the screen turns off and i cant turn it on again to see what is happening because of broken GUI
is there a command that i can run to prevent the system to lock the screen?

[cscs]

Plasma has manual sleep inhibition in the panel, through ‘presentation mode’ etc.
(click on the display or power tray icons)
You can can also do upgrades through the TTY.

Since the update to Plasma 6 is rather hefty … an abundance of caution can make sense … such as using default (breeze) themes, removing extra widgets, clearing cache, and/or resetting configurations entirely. In some situations one or more of these things may be required for a functional desktop.

i used the TTY to update the system and after updating and restarting the plasma is working again
thank you
