Hello there!
I installed download dot manjaro dot org/kde/24.1.2/manjaro-kde-24.1.2-241104-linux610.iso from USB onto my fairly old Toshiba Satellite C600 Laptop.
While the installation went smoothly without any issues,
any attempt to update (pacman -Syu) or upgrade (pacman -Syyu) either on CLI or via GUI (pamac) resulted in a unusable (Plasma-)GUI with missing applications. plasmoids, etc.
Even with selecting different mirrors (main-mirrors/ germany-mirrors) I had the same results.
That was really time consuming, as the wifi-/ethernet- connection couldn’t established because modem-manager/ Network-Manager was failing, missing or plasmoids and/or dependencies were not found.
So the only solution was, to install the system over and over again, to have at least a working system. :-/
- What steps did I missed or could have be done differently?
- Is this a known issue of the current KDE (Plasma) Live-Iso?
- And most important, how I can solve it?
If you need further informations, please let me know.
