My installation became crazy after a 222 packages update on OPI5-Plus

Hi all,

I am used to update my systems every day, but this time…

Yesterday, all of a sudden, after an “apt update” command showed to me there was 222 updates available. Wow, there was many updates on KDE, I left it for later, but after finishing my tasks I made the upgrade.

After reboot, at login screen, password was accepted but login screen reappears. I tryed many times.

I noticed that login was set to “KDE Wayland”… I changed to “KDE X11” and Bingo… Login ok.

But Task bar is shown everything to the left and without the apps. All apps used before last logout were reopened, but all of them were located on top left of screen and no way to change the top app, only terminating the top app to access other app. No ALT TAB works.

And at botton right of wallpaper it is saying “Plasma 6.3 beta”

in other words, unusable…

And now, what can I do? If I reinstall .img I cant upgrade anymore???

Thanks from Brazil,

Cury

Hi - I’d have to recommend checking with the folks who have put together your Linux distribution, as it looks like they are combining some KDE Neon and Ubuntu-packaged software (some of which is pre-release / beta), together with custom work of their own, so the result is likely to operate pretty differently from a standard KDE Neon installation. I think they would need to be the ones to determine what is a viable update or upgrade path for their combination of software packages.
