II have been running v8.5 for some time now with no issues.
At the prompt from the system installer, I just attempt to upgrade to v8.6 using the “Update” widget in plasma. I think this is synonymous with sudo dnf update
.
The update seems to have finished successfully.
I shut down, restarted, and selected the top “v8.6” from the grub list. The system starts, and I’m able to SSH into it from the outside.
Sadly, I get no plasma/UI. At the point where I usually get a password prompt, I instead have a blank black screen with a working cursor and nothing else.
I’ve restarted using the older v8.5 grub entry and it restarted as usual.
I have journalctl enabled (I’ve added journal
to `/var/log’).
I’d appreciate guidance in getting plasma working in v8.6. I’m at a loss about how to identify and resolve whatever is making the updated system work.
Following the guidance from this topic, I did dnf --enablerepo=* clean all
(as root) with the following result:
# dnf --enablerepo=* clean all
95 files removed
[root@tms-desktop ~]# dnf update

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I hope this is helpful – I remain stuck until I understand what these complaints mean. Like rl100, I’m just a user – I have limited insight into how to proceed.
