From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed: Update to KDE6 - Throws you back to login screen mid update/upgrade (feddit.de)

Halfway through the installation it throws me back to the login screen. When I try to continue the update/upgrade it does it again.

I already did a rollback with snapper and forgot to note at which package it exactly happened.

So anyone trying to update, beware that the update might not get through.

I'll wait a week and then try again.

Update

Ashged on reddit:

*Yeah, unfortunately the update doesn't work within KDE. No idea if/when they'll make a fix for that.

The update however works outside KDE, in an IceWM desktop or a TTY. For best results, first log out of KDE, then using Ctr+Alt+F1 go a text based enviroment. Log in there, use sudo zypper dup, then after it finishes, reboot and log in to your regular KDE desktop. Plasma 6 should upgrade succesfully.*

I followed Ashged's guide to install the update and upgrade to KDE6. It worked and now let's see if I run into any bugs. So far everything seems to work fine.
