Well , probably because kde-unstable is fixed at plasma 6 RC’s and git is up to date to latest 6.0 branch.
Meaning, probably wont build with plasma 6.0 release also.

Is anyone having issues with KDE6 on Virtualbox?
In work, It seems to boot fine on VMware ESXi.

208

That sounds pretty bad. My guess was KDE unstable using newer qt libraries but I’m not too sure about that :confused:

209

Oh God no, let’s hope not! Crossing fingers…

Has been working fine for me for a few months.

I am not sure, but what seemed to me at the time, was that it was failing on plasma libs, not qt libs. but to be honest, I don’t remember for sure now.

Anyway, would not worry about it, if that is the case, author probably will update it to build.

I can’t even compile with kde-unstable. The code depends on “KDECORATION2_VERSION_MINOR”, which seems to be undefined…

Interesting, using the version from 18.02. it works for me. The maintainer opened a PR to @psifidotos repo, so I asked this question over here :thinking:

Hello everyone!

We’re entering the final testing phase of plasma6 not just on arch, but Garuda’s end as well.

Here is how you join the test:

  1. Install Garuda dr460nized (skip setup assistant, etc. if you want, it shouldn’t matter)
  2. Add extra-testing repo to /etc/pacman.conf above the extra repo.
  3. garuda-update
  4. Reboot!

Everything else will be done automatically for you thanks to garuda-update and garuda-system-maintenance.

You can of course also try this on your main system, but do make liberal use of snapshots please!

Don’t forget to remove extra-testing from your repos after plasma6 officially releases.

Any and all feedback/bug reports are appreciated!!

So if you are getting this error on multiple packages,

kguiaddons: /usr/share/applications/google-maps-geo-handler.desktop exists in filesystem (owned by kguiaddons5)

you put extra-testing after extra which it doesn’t like flip them around the install proceeds nicely :smiley:

Testing repos, especially Core, must precede the others in order in pacman.conf.

Speaking of which, I’m tired of staring at the same plasma 6 pkgs and seeing them unchanged since 02/28 or 29. The anticipation is much more than I, um, anticipated.

But if I do, sure enough, everything will switch from testing to stable mid-stream. :wink:

So the install went well, and I haven’t noticed any significant issues yet.

The one thing I have tried to get to work and hasn’t been cooperating is the Cube.

I confirmed that the other desktop effects still worked, and even tried remapping the key combination for the cube, but it refuses to pop up.

(Not sure if it matters, but my GPU is an NVIDIA 3060 RTX Mobile / Max Q)

That is too cool! I figured you’d have something hip, slick & cool up your sleeve. :wink:

Did you have the popup to apply the new theme pop up as well?

220

I did not. I just ran garuda-update and system maintenance and nothing popped up

I do have [extra-testing] in pacman.conf at this point. I will do some testing later to see if maybe that is the problem

221

Did you have the a custom (non dr460nized) look and feel?

222

I have the Breeze Theme enabled. But I will try it from the dr460nized as well and see if that fixes the cube issue.

223

The breeze theme will not automatically get the popup like dr460nized does.

Hi there, added the extra-testing repo in Virtualbox and it worked like a charm, received the popup and Dragonized theme is running perfectly, I am thinking about doing the same thing to my main system, knowing that HDR works with nvidia drivers.

I did it. So far everything is working well but auto-type in Keepassxc :sob:
