I’m using kwin in xfce, when I did the latest snapshot, I lost kwin so I checked and kwin5 was deleted but it was not replaced by kwin6 automatically. I installed the kwin6 and it worked.
I saw from one of the thread related to plasma6 that the cube is back but here ,I still can’t find it to test in xfce. I already deleted the old kwin rc and json in my .config 
Then that’s a potential bug, I suggest you file one.
Well I upgraded from tty and stupidly when display manager login popped up after it restarted… logged in then rebooted from gui. Hopefully there were no package config prompts in that tty but everything seems to have worked after moving .config .local and such to allow everything to be re-created.
I had a few problems like having to restart the update multiple times. Plasma 5 disappeared and I was at the login screen. When I logged in I had a blank desktop but Krunner worked. I did more updating.
Then when I logged in I had a mobile interface and the next time was IceWM. Finally, using Yast I found the problem. Kwayland was not installed completely and plasma6-desktop was not installed.
Finally, it’s working. But I can’t find how to set the login theme…SDDM theme. I don’t know if they moved it but I think something is missing. I’m using Wayland.
@All time to start threads on your specific upgrade issues for this snapshot release…

I’m no expert on managing repos, but if that’s the main issue causing trouble, perhaps you could avoid having to go through a reinstallation by:
- Moving the 1-click repos/anything else problematic to priority >100 (I forget the exact
zypper mrterminal command to do this, but possible in YaST also) - Doing
sudo zypper dup --allow-vendor-change, replacing anything from those other repos with the standard Tumbleweed ones
If I’m thinking correctly, that should fairly safely get anything that could be sourced from the main TW repos to pull from them? Then you could, more at your leisure, look at any packages left behind that are only coming from additional sources? Just a thought, at least for me personally an OS install is only fun when it’s intentionally recreational/exploratory!

I have had good luck using Yast’s Software Management to unfoul my repository sins. If you can find the problem application there, go to the version tab and select another repository for it.
If Auto Check is on you’ll get Yast’s assistance in resolving any issues that fall out of the initial change.

Did anyone have this weird thing in plasma 6 where if you open Discover and go to “installed apps”, you’re only seeing very few apps there ? I’m 100% certain that wasn’t the case with plasma 5 
Hi and welcome to the forums 
It’s encouraged to start a new topic for specific issues 
People searching for the same issue and people responding to it would have an easier time.

For all the people upgrading their systems, please use sudo zypper dup -d to download the update, then switch to a tty to perform it, as during a major DE update, if you do it with the desktop still running, you will end up with a broken system.

Hi all, I installed Plasma6 this morning with sudo zypper up.
All run smoothly except some unresolved dependencies mainly with akonadi.
Now Kmail does not work.
Aha!!
Solved right now!
Launched sudo zypper dup and forced the installation of the first packet shown (install anyway ignoring dependencies).
All packets have been installed and now all is running smoothly and… terribly FAST!

After falling into the trap of doing the update in a running plasma 5 session and having to use this guide to do it properly i have question :
Why are there so many leftover KDE5 and qt5 packages now?
Can i batch remove them somehow or are they getting removed later with an upcoming update?
Wow this thing is smooth
I took some precautions after reading some heads up here (thanks!).
I logged out of my graphical session, and from SDDM did a CTRL ALT F3 to open a tty
logged in via console prompt, then I created a backup “home” folder under /home where I copied just the dotfiles/dotfolders, just in case.
Finally invoked nmtui to reconnect to my home wifi, then sudo zypper dup to install the update followed by a systemctl reboot
Everything went fine.
I suspect they changed some settings related to the visibility of tray icons cause I’m quite sure that I had the power one set to always visible, but it was hidden when I logged in (not a big deal).
Everything seems snappier overall, maybe just placebo, dunno
I have tried it out but the update is completely broken. The default theme, wi-fi, kwalletmanager not working properly, completely unusable. Will wait a week until it all gets (hopefully) sorted out.
Have a black screen on my Acer laptop with Kalpa.
The same thing occurred once during the update to me, @Jarmer. It also reinitialized the machine, unlike your experience. The first login after that was quite visually broken. However, another reboot remediated that permanently, and all changes from the update appear to have been applied correctly now. I suggest all reboot twice too.
I went asleep with KDE5-
boom(reboot)bang
I woke up with KDE6.
I like my liitle “Kalpa”,

I’ll try that when I’m able to. Thanks, @johnkizer.
Eh… How should one update from the commandline? - #36 by hui made me adequately frightened of that command.
Worked, but not without problems. After zypper dup I was logged out to login screen with hints of missing profile files. Login to Plasma only shows background without menu e. g. Logged in with IceWM, again zypper dup got Plasma working.
But there is a bunch of things like untranslated gui-elements e. g. Switched back from Wayland to X11 and hopefully they fix a lot in the next time.
