Just my luck that I decided today to update my system without being aware that Plasma 6 is out and immediately run into issues :see_no_evil:

I tried a fresh install in a VM now the KDE6 update is in the main repos, with the latest Galileo Neo 2024-01.25 ISO.

Went extremely well even with an 86 item user_pkglist.txt :+1:

The only issue was that the installer didn’t like kimageformats (or kdesu) being in the user_pkglist.txt. The now superfluous kimageformats5 is in the KDE package list in the installer, but does no harm, and I was able to install both kimageformats & kdesu after booting in the new installation.

So hopefully there will be very few posts here from people having trouble installing… at least with regards to KDE6.

I had the same problem. The problem I encountered is an impossibly low resolution in the new version of LibreOffice. I have no idea how to fix this. In other words, the proportions of the interface and font are now 3 times as large as before.

My… friend… had a similar issue a few months ago. Perhaps you have some old settings somewhere.

Done the update. Am on Plasma 6, Wayland. All’s well at my end.

Previews on taskbar of running apps still not showing though.

Wayland doesn’t work in VirtualBox, as far as I know.

I could have ended the sentence above after the word “work”, everything else is redundant. :frog:

Thanks for that :rofl: , it was clear that something like that would come from you in connection with Wayland …

Scaling in Libreoffice does not seem to be possible, it also no longer takes over the scaling of the system (1440p in my case).

Just select it in SDDM. It’s the tiniest little menu in the bottom left corner of the screen.
