MX Modified - Latest MX KDE 5.22 Using MX21 beta

[asqwerth]

You can't be using mx21 beta if your mx repos are buster?

He doesn't need mx21 beta, he knows how to run Norbert's KDE packages with the MX Buster repos.

It's hard to do though. Not surprising that he's having the networking issue. Networking is usually the first thing that goes out for me. @MAYBL8, have you been able to re-establish your network connection through the normal method of killing the NetworkManager process and re-starting it?

Look at the title of his thread now. He's changed it to say he's using plasma 5.22 on mx21 beta. He's not, I think. Just pointing it out based on his qsi.

That's because I changed the title and the content of the first post in this thread to reflect that the KDE packages now run on MX21 beta. When he starts a new post, then it reflects the edited title of the first post. It's a funny quirk of the forum's software.

Sorry that didn't work either.
Also when I killed the process it started up on its own, thought that was curious.
Only reboot got it working again.

What's your version of NetworkManager? I wonder if your system pulled in a newer version to support some KDE 5.22 packages?

Are you using the Debian unstable repo to provide your required dependencies?

I got a strange error today when running 'apt upgrade':

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Don't think I've ever seen this kind of an error message with apt before. apt recommended I run the command again with a "--fix-missing" tag on the end. That worked, although it appears to have simply caused apt to accept and install the package with the mismatched hash.

EDIT - I was wrong. Running the command with "--fix-missing" allowed all the rest of the upgraded packages to be installed, but plasma-desktop still gets the mismatched hash error and refuses to upgrade. Running "apt clean" or "apt-get clean" do not fix it.

Big update from @norbert on his blog today: https://www.preining.info/blog/2021/08/ ... 021-08-18/

He posts lots of information on the progress of moving the various plasma, frameworks, and "gears" packages into the current Debian Experimental and Unstable repos.

If you want to continue accessing the very latest packages directly from Norbert's OBS repos, you'll still be able to do that.

Depending on your setup, you may need to update your OBS repos to access these latest packages.

OBS repos for systems running Debian Sid [Unstable] currently reside at:

Code: Select all

deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/frameworks/Debian_Unstable/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/plasma522/Debian_Unstable/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/apps2108/Debian_Unstable/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other/Debian_Unstable/ ./

OBS repos for systems running Debian Testing ("Bookworm") are the same, but change out the word "Unstable" for "Testing".

If you are running the newest KDE packages on Bullseye, you will need an extra repo called "other-deps", and your OBS repos will look like:

Code: Select all

deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other-deps/Debian_Testing/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/frameworks/Debian_Testing/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/plasma522/Debian_Testing/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/apps2108/Debian_Testing/ ./
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/other/Debian_Testing/ ./

A final note on the page warns:

Expect continued breakage of the next weeks until the upload storm subsides a bit.

I'm assuming that he's referring to the Debian Experimental, Unstable, and Testing packages as those get uploaded. I don't think this warning probably applies to the normal OBS repos. Now that we can move the OBS repos to the stable Bullseye branch, we should actually see fewer problems (I think/hope).

[Note - the above message will probably be confusing to some people to read because of all the different repos that are being discussed. If you are reading this message and you are confused, that means you are probably not the target audience and should probably not try installing these updated KDE packages. As always - this is experimental and completely unsupported. As always - back up all your data before you add any repos and try anything experimental, so that you don't make a mess of things and lose data somehow.]

Looks like I might have several issues today:
