[SOLVED] Latest upgrades killed Plasma?

pchristy · 05-20-2022, 04:04 PM

just tried

Code:

slackpkg reinstall 5.94.0

from dl.slarm64.org, but it fails with md5sum error.

Not sure if slackware.uk (and hence my local repository) has picked up the upgrades yet, so not tried upgradepkg.

Will have another look tomorrow (Saturday).

OK, turned off md5sum checking in slackpkg and ran

Code:

slackpkg reinstall 5.94.0

using dl.slarm64.org as the mirror.

Packages installed, but I still have the same error!

Looking at slackware.uk, it is still showing the old files for 5.94.0 - possibly because of the md5sum error or maybe re-use of the same file names? Either way, I can see from the time stamps that the files on dl.slarm.org are newer than the ones on slackware.uk, which is why I used your site as the mirror.

Maybe I need to reinstall the whole of kde again?

no need to set up a mirror on dl.slarm64.org and run

Code:

slackpkg update && slackpkg reinstall 5.94.0

Nope! Still didn't work!

I've now set it off doing

Code:

slackpkg update && slackpkg reinstall kde

just in case something else has got scrambled. This will take a while, but I'll report back when its done.

Still not working! Slackpkg mirror is set to dl.slarm64.org and slarm64-current. I've now re-installed kde in its entirety to no avail

I'm stumped!

ok, go into any running X environment and run kwrite for example, what will it output in the console?

Just about to go out for a family dinner - will have to try this later....

I found everything, there was a package from the previous KDE kconfigwidgets-5.90.1-aarch64-1.txz need kconfigwidgets-5.94.0-aarch64-1.txz
He deleted the old one, thanks for the help.

Code:

$ kwrite
kwrite: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libKF5IconThemes.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN12KColorSchemeaSEOS_

$ kate
kate: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libKF5IconThemes.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN12KColorSchemeaSEOS_

Sorry, I don't understand your last post:

this is a problematic package, you just need to update it to the version 5.94.0

pchristy · 05-22-2022, 02:41 AM

YES!That worked! This is being written on the Pi400 running Plasma5!

Many thanks for your efforts!
