ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Paul Worrall 2024-11-06 18:22:33 UTC
If you got "command not found" when you entered "dpkg --configure -a" in Konsole, does entering "/usr/bin/dpkg --configure -a" work?

Sorry to be so long but been waiting for the update to happen again. it has
and I put in what you suggested but it came up with   "bash:
/usr/bin/dpkg--configure-a: No such file or directory" I am totally lost on
all this as I have no knowledge of Lynux command coding so the simpler the
better for me. Should I have proceeded the instructions with "sudo" or my
password or something?

Comment 3 Paul Worrall 2024-11-14 16:22:14 UTC
A three things:
1. The spaces in the command line are important, i.e. before " --config" and before " -a", your comment seems to indicate you didn't have them
2. Yes, you will need to put "sudo" at the beginning (sorry, I should have mentioned that)
3. You don't have to wait for the next update, you can do it now.

So the full command, including the required spaces, is:
sudo /usr/bin/dpkg --configure -a

You'll be prompted for your password.

Thanks - that seemed to work at the start but after putting my password in
went into a repetition
phil@phil-n13n140zu:~$ sudo /usr/bin/dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for phil:

I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

So I have quit as I assume this is not going anywhere. What next?

I do not see anything wrong in the above.  Suggest you try again if you can, and let it run to completion.

Thanks again, I neglected to notice the image numbers changing. I have now
run this to completion and looking at my system configuration I get the
following :-
Operating System: KDE neon 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel Version: 6.5.0-21-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Memory: 15,3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620
Manufacturer: Notebook
Product Name: N13_N140ZU
Does that look correct?

Nothing wrong there.  I expect you'll get updates to Plasma 6.2

Paul

I have now received and upgraded both KDE Neon and Plasma to 6.2 without
the need for any further intervention, presumably as the prior, manual
running, of "dpkg configure a"  has cleared the initial problems. The
matter is now resolved. Thank you for your help and advice.

Phil
