[Bug 2059779] Re: can't update in discover

Fri Nov 15 17:08:59 UTC 2024

The suggestion from Igor finally worked although not right away in my
case :)

These two:

sudo apt install --only-upgrade ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
sudo apt dist-upgrade --allow-downgrades

Managed, probably, to get the system past the error of this ticket but
afterwards I wasn't able to login in KDE at all. Sddm started and after
entering password, the logs showed

sddm: Message received from greeter: Login
sddm: Invalid session ""

Actually there was no session to select on the login screen.

So in the alt+f3-4-(whatever) console:

apt install plasma-workspace-wayland

and after this the result was that I was albel to login but essential
stuff from the desktop was missing, like activityswitcher, etc.

So this finally made Plasma work again:

apt install plasma-desktop

Haven't investigated it further but I suppose somewhere in the process
of upgrading and all the stuff that happened afterwards, that plasma-
desktop was messed up. Now all seems to work.
