Plasma upgrade from 5 to 6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all

I have finally gotten round to updating my rolling release installation after a long delay.

One of the final cycles in this catch-up [1] pulled in an upgrade from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6

Some things stopped working for me after that and I want to share with you what and how I solved them.

1. Graphical environment doesn't start because video driver is not loaded (dkms)
I have a GTX 750 and even though dkms does a successful compilation and installation, this driver no longer automatically loads during startup.
There may be other, better solutions, but what I did is [I'm using sddm] is:
systemctl edit --full sddm
in the section [Service] add an entry ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/modprobe nvidia-drm

save and quit
then reboot


2. no RDP in krcd
-> install freerdp2

3. Fish works in kwrite and kate, etc, but not in develop
-> install kio5_extras
