Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Itā€™s really stuck on that same error for everything.

Thank you for all of your time! Iā€™ll get onto re-installing :laughing:

We can go on and on. We might be able to resolve some these issues. Or not.

But reinstalling at this point might be a better option.

If I may make a comment. I donā€™t think making a full system image is a very effective backup and restore strategy since Arch being Arch, it moves quite fast and thus makes those images rather obsolete very soon.

I would rather only make regular backups of my home directory. Plus keep a regularly updated list of my installed packages and also perhaps backing up /etc directory if you have done some system-wide configuration in there.

If you have further question, donā€™t hesitate to ask!

Thank you, Iā€™m open to better methods. Iā€™m aware thereā€™s a way to auto-install packages so that you can set up your base linux system with a single script or something, can you recommend an approach for this? Iā€™m already methodical with noting down what apps and changes I like, but itā€™s still tedious to do this by hand each time.

Just finished re-installing, and hilariously this is exactly the same scenario I was in before the re-image. (Minus the 22gb electron download). This is what updating did to my EndeavourOS.

All 3 monitors have the same stretched low res output, and thereā€™s no taskbar so I cant start any apps without knowing the commands!

Do you know what to do from here?

Many users updating to Plasma 6 have been experiencing graphic issues due to the fact that the update defaults their login session to Wayland.

Could you log out and switch to X11 at the bottom left of the login screen and see if you still have this issue.

Also, you may want to create a new topic for this one with a descriptive title to get the attention of those Plasma user more in the know in how to handle this X11-Wayland ā€œdebacleā€ (exaggerating) that this recent upgrade has brought about.

This may not be the most elegant and/or efficient way of migrating your packages and configs to a new install but it gets the job done.

Note that this assunes that you will be installing with the same DE. If not restore .files and .dot folders on a per case basis for DE agnostic applications and not those related to DE.
