Well. Seems I have to reinstall #OpenSUSE#Tumbleweed. I tried restoring as many of my custom #KDE theme settings as I could remember before retrying to upgrade to #Plasma6. It didn't help. Colors being screwed I get, but why are so many things are straight up missing. Volume widget? BT widget? Whole sections in the Plasma Settings are just gone. ???
@SFaulken Well... I updated again, and was only greeted by a terminal after reboot (as happened after the first try, but not the second). It was flickering a couple of times, which might have been SDDM failing to start I guess. Logged in with my regular account and ran startplasma-wayland, and once in there everything looked fine! Nothing missing, theme was ok. But SDDM failed on every boot. I reinstalled Tumbleweed, on the whole disk this time, and now I get "operating system not found" lol.
@SFaulken Indeed. But, since it's not a critical computer it's a good opportunity to learn Linux on a deeper level! I'll find a way to solve this, somehow. It's just the boot process that's screwed, the OS itself works fine.
@amadeus Pretty much yeah. But I'll try to create a new user and see if it's a config issue. Otherwise I'll just blow the drive clean, and get rid of the old pesky Windows partition that I need to get rid of anyways and do a fresh install. So I kinda win either way lol.
@amadeus Exactly! Things went totally sideways though and became much worse lol, now the system won't boot at all. 😅 But this gives me the opportunity to learn Linux boot systems on a deeper level than I ever have before. I have to figure out what's wrong and learn how to fix it manually (no tools thus far has fixed it). And that's a great way to really learn something. 🤓
@macberg I often felt the same way. If you don't get annoyed and have the opportunity to take a close look at things, you have a lot of potential to learn. Good luck! 🤞
