Guys,
I just updated my system and KDE system settings crashes when opening it.
I filled out a KDE bug report.
Not sure if it update related.

Hi,

I am currently running MX-21 (release version) KDE. I would like to update to Plasma 5.21 or newer - I've done this in Debian by updating to testing, but I am not sure how to do this in MX. I already tried to follow the instructions at the start of this thread but it didn't work - no errors, but it didn't update Plasma, I am still on the release version.

One possible problem may be that the Beta iso is no longer available (or I failed to find it).

Is there any advice someone could possibly give me?

Many thanks!

In looking at the instructions from page one. I see that our instructions need updated. I can't edit the first post so I can't do that there.
I would start by checking your repos.

Mine look like this:

When did you do this ... I am just now building the packages and they are not all finished ... incredible :-D

[MAYBL8]

Just now .
I was on the machine and it told me there were 200 + updates.

Ohh, and I am still doing rebuilds ... I would like to have this all in a staging area
