@Yochanan @cscs

I’ve managed to set up the phone with a external Monitor, should have done this before

The following is a small percentage of the errors I get after forcing pacman to ignore Dependencies for networkmanager-qt

I’m runningas root

sudo su

the install command is

pacman -Syyu --nodeps networkmanager-qt

here are some of the errors

The mobile keyboard is an exclusive pain for maintenance.

I suggest you start ssh session on your phone.

sudo systemctl start sshd

Use the ip command to get the IP address for your wlan

ip a

Then connect using ssh

ssh manjaro@ip.x.y.z

When you get the exists in filesystem - use the --overwrite '*' argument.

I got around that by hooking up and external Monitor, keyboard and Mouse. That’s how I gat the errors posted.

Thanks. I’ll do that.

Use single quotes around the glob '*'

pacman -Syyu --overwrite '*' --nodeps networkmanager-qt

Just to Note the above is the solution to the questions asked. Due to other issues this thread morphed into something else.
