STEPS TO REPRODUCE I just started the upgrade to Focal but it had to be cancelled due to insufficient disk space. So now I cleaned up some space. OBSERVED RESULT I followed https://community.kde.org/Neon/FocalUpgrades again but after logout/login I do not get the upgrade notifier. Do you know how I can restart the upgrade? EXPECTED RESULT Either: 1) Upgrade notification is shown or 2) Upgrade notes https://community.kde.org/Neon/FocalUpgrades should mention the console command to initiate an upgrade. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.19 KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2
For me, logging out and back in gives the notification again. I've been trying to figure out what packages are causing a bunch of KDE packages to just be marked for removal instead of upgrading, and for a while I had to constantly log in and out to test different package removals/installs. Eventually I got fed up with it and filtered ksysguard by the word 'upgr' when running the upgrader, and found out this is the full command: do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE If you just want to do it over the command line, you can leave out the '-f DistUpgradeViewKDE' part; but if you want the GUI to pop up, leave it in.
Thank you very much Colin, That's exactly the information I missed on https://community.kde.org/Neon/FocalUpgrades as for me logging in/out doesn't bring up the notification again. - do you know who I could talk to to suggest including it there? On that note (but another topic) it might also be important to have better public information about what `pkcon update` really does. If it is just a wrapper around the OS's update mechanisms without any additional logic it would spread a lot less uncertainty. As package management in neon is suggested to be done with `pkcon`, I didn't want to just start the Ubuntu updater in fear it could do harm. In forums and on reddit people suggest `do-release-upgrade --allow-third-party` but nobody yet seemed to have the original command that KDE runs - thank you!
No idea who to talk to, unfortunately. I only know what the command is by using ksysguard, and thankfully not being affected by the bug you're affected by (the notification not popping up each login).
