Posted: Sat Aug 17, 2024 11:01 pm Post subject: How I can upgrade desktop to KDE 6 |
|
|
hello, I would like to upgrade my desktop to KDE 6.
I created a file /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/plasma with content:
Code: | kde-plasma/plasma-meta ~amd64 |
I receive a stable message:
Quote: | emerge --ask --verbose kde-plasma/plasma-meta
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 2.78 s (backtrack: 1/20).
[ebuild R ] kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.27.11-r1:5::gentoo USE="bluetooth browser-integration crash-handler crypt cups desktop-portal discover display-manager firewall handbook kwallet legacy-systray networkmanager pulseaudio sddm smart systemd wallpapers -accessibility -colord (-elogind) -flatpak -grub -gtk -plymouth -sdk -thunderbolt" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] no
Quitting.

It also appears when I specify wildcards:
Code: | kde-plasma/plasma-meta ~*
kde-plasma/plasma-meta **. |
I would be grateful for advice on how to pull KDE 6. Thanks. |

What happens if you tell Portage to install the version you want, with emerge --oneshot --ask --verbose '>=kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6'? |

Thank you very much for your response, the process has moved forward. Now I get, that emerge trying to pull plasma-meta-6.1.4 but it is masked in ~amd64. I will continue to look into this. Thanks! |

That suggests your attempt to keyword-accept this was not effective. What is the output of namei -l /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/* ; cat -n /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/*? |

Or maybe you just wait a few more days until it is stable anyway. |

Wow thank you for the gentle hint!
Then you will see a lot of posts

Hello, I created manually one file in this directory: /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/plasma, which contains one string
Code: | kde-plasma/plasma-meta ~amd64 | .
I also tried Code: | kde-plasma/plasma-meta ~* | and Code: | kde-plasma/plasma-meta ** | with the same result.
I read posts yesterday about issues that are currently going on with Plasma 6 yet (like wayland and pipewire). Maybe it makes sense to wait a few months yet.
Thanks a lot for all answers! |

You forgot "Why on earth did you unmask KDE 6? My sound/multiscreen/encrypted folders/keyboard/-O3--trust-me-i-know-what-im-doing compilation is now fscked, and nobody ever wanted this stoopid upgrade anyway..." ![Wink ;-)](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) _________________ Greybeard |

Don't do it to yourself. It's not worth it. |
