KDE Plasma 6 is out in full! (and now on EOS! Yay! )

Just launched the update. Fingers crossed.

Edit: desktop seems to be working normally for general use.

Gaming is a bit wonky, on GW2 if you move the cursor the camera angle gets stuck looking up into the sky. Same with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Controller works fine though.

I notice a kdialog popup saying something about window switcher, didn’t quite catch it fully, but maybe that’s related.

Edit: With X11 everything’s working fine.

Yes, same “W” icon when the program is launched, but it was always the case for me when launching Vorta with Wayland, also with Plasma 5. Anyway, it doesn’t affect Vorta to work as it should.

You also don’t need to restart Windows, just kill explorer.exe and run it again in the task manager.

Anyway, I always prefer to restart, regardless of the system. It’s a myth to think that you don’t need to restart when something critical is being updated or after a crash.

I used to use Polonium on Plasma 5.27, the dev is updating it for 6.0. I presume they’re mostly busy trying to reimplement shortcuts and gaps. Since I’m following its development kinda closely, I could make a dedicated thread once Polonium 1.0 gets released.

I would appreciate it, because I gave it a shot and found it unusable.

Says it works on Plasma 6.0 and up.

Are you trying to update or install pamac?

Nope, i just typed yay into my terminal and had a bunch of updates.

Do you have pamac-aur-git installed?

I do

I did too and instead of trying to fix the issue in the package build i uninstalled pamac-aur-git and libpamac-git. Then i updated and installed pamac-aur instead. :man_shrugging:

I guess you would need to wait for the next update to pacman to be able to build pamac-aur-git.
I would do as @ricklinux or wait.
A new pacman is in testing. I don’t think it will take long before it is in the regular repo.

In the meantime you could update your repo packages with: sudo pacman -Syu

So just do a sudo pacman -R pamac-aur-git & sudo pacman -R libpamac-git ?

The AUR package has to be removed with yay.

Ooops lol :flushed:

No, not necessarily.
You could do sudo pacman -Rs to remove packages installed from AUR as well.

sudo pacman -Rs pamac-aur-git will do the job
