Issue: Updating software after system update after one year

Hello Garuda Linux Forum,

I’ll admit I haven’t dabbled with Garuda in quite some time, and applied a recent garuda-update in the konsole.

Garuda (2.6.16-1):
System install date:     2022-06-17
Last full system update: 2023-09-11
Is partially upgraded:   Yes
Relevant software:       snapper NetworkManager mkinitcpio
Windows dual boot:       No/Undetected
Failed units:

While everything seems to be working as should upon startup (including software itself), for every time I attempt an update on the software (this time using an update tool to manually select updates), I receive a notification from the System Maintenance tool, issuing the following…

Dependency resolution failed:<br/><br/>plasma-framework &lt;- latte-dock: could not satisfy dependencies

Nevertheless, my system overall seems to be up to date, though please correct me if I’m wrong, and perhaps if I missed an integral system upgrade or configuration that might be the cause of this issue.

My experience with this distro has been stellar, even as we speak - I’m just concerned regarding upon the current issue, and hopefully preventing it from impacting anything else in the long-run.

Thank you,

You’ll need to remove Latte Dock cause it’s not supported by Plasma 6. If you don’t mind me asking how old is the ISO you used to install Garuda?

Originally, the ISO used dates back to May/June 2022.

I say originally, because an issue around that time occurred where I had to chroot my system and update GRUB after making an update about a month later.

It’s all in garuda-inxi

I don’t mean this in a bad way, but if you haven’t used or updated a rolling Linux distribution for so long, you should reinstall it. Even if an update were to run now,
which hasn’t happened (partially upgraded), new problems will surely arise over time.

You can of course keep trying, but I don’t know what would motivate us to solve one problem after another for you under these circumstances?

Back up your important data beforehand. :slight_smile:

Could I just simply remove Latte Dock like suggested above?

Don’t know if this info helps…

You should explain this a little more.
What tool?
What do you mean with “manually select updates”?
One may think that you are applying partial updates… :thinking:

As for the update issues, you may be lucky and you just have to uninstall latte-dock . If so, you are very lucky. :smiley:

The update tool provided via Setup Assistant for Discover

Updating via konsole, it always asks at the very end of the process to enter a value; default number being 1.

Entering 1, I get an error message.

This I’m assuming is Latte Dock conflicting with Plasma 6 (which I don’t have) as mentioned.

Note: My current system reads Plasma 5.

10

That is not a way to update arch. use garuda-update -a at the least but yea at this point. a back up an reinstall would be faster an pain free.

I’ll uninstall Latte Dock and see if anything gets resolved.
Otherwise reinstall it is.

I hear backup being thrown around on Arch Wiki, though I admittedly never done so before.

Not to get too off topic, but is there any recommended GUI for such, especially on a system completely dedicated to run an Arch-based Linux distro like Garuda?

I’m asking this, because losing anything in the process is the last thing that I would want to risk.

12

You can just move the home dir to another drive though before you move it back you have to set the permissions to your new user or you will have some problems

13

So no GUI necessary? Just two separate physical drives?

14

That’s at least how I do it when I need to. you can use you file manager or use terminal what ever floats your poat though the permission bit i would do with terminal but it can be done with root priv in a gui

I cant say this is the 100% correct way but it works. though since your setup is pretty old i might be best not to include the . files like .config .local an all that

Just to be on the safe side, this is the command used to uninstall Latte Dock prior to rebooting?

sudo pacman -Rsu latte-dock

Again, I don’t have Plasma 6.

16

That or paru -R latte-dock or to also remove dependencies with it paru -Rs

17

With the amount of time on this I would of simply gotten the current release ISO and reinstalled Garuda. For myself from start of install, to landing on the desktop, to tweaking, to getting all my software installed it’s under 6 hours.

As for the age of the install and someone can correct me if I’m wrong since you did a recent update you should be on Plasma 6 unless something in the old install simply won’t allow Plasma to update.

Without this being updated to the latest Plasma I see no reason to give support cause if Plasma isn’t updated most likely plenty isn’t updated.

Apologies for the delay, but I have found a solution (albeit through blind experimentation) on the same day of posting this topic; and I wouldn’t have done it without the help of any/everyone’s suggestion(s).

petsam mentioned to simply uninstall Latte Dock, followed by restarting/rebooting the system; afterwards applying garuda-update as usual… rinse & repeat, lastly the environment is updated good as new with Plasma 6 fired up and ready to go.

No distro reinstallation necessary.

Cheers,
