[closed] Large GCC-5 TRANSITION, Heavy DIST-UPGRADE pending

[dibl]

I finally got vlc and libtag1v5-vanilla installed -- watched dolphin, plasma-desktop, and kde-standard get ripped out but then they reinstalled perfectly.


Does anyone else see an excessive use of CPU resources by kwin-x11?  Here it is a continuous 11% - 15% of CPU.

htop gives me

1.6 for mem%
0.0 for cpu%

Hmmmmm.  Reinstalled an hp printer and some other configuration stuff, rebooted, and the kwin-x11 issue is gone.  I guess I'll take it for now and watch it.  Thanks piper.

Took the plunge and did the du yesterday. Everything seems OK on my KDE system; although I haven't tested much beyond normal eveyday usage. All I lost was Gimp which couldn't be re-installed due to dependancy errors.

I don't think it's a procedure for those of a nervous disposition. I had to do several dist-upgrades including some -f installs. I also had to re-install dolphin, plasma-desktop and kde-standard. But still there were many packages not upgraded.

The problem turned out to be kwin reacting with kwin-x11 (don't know how they both got installed). Once kwin was removed the remainer of packages upgraded easily with merely kactivities and four or five other packages held back. Trying to install kactivities wants to remove many, many packages.

ps. I've got it sIightly wrong. I now remember that it was only kwin that was installed and that was causing the du not to upgrade all the packages. Once Kwin was removed and kwin-x11 installed the full upgrade completed..

I've not attempted to d-u since 31 July and, with a kde system, currently have 89 packages to remove. Would an install of kwin-x11 safely allow me to have a clearer view of what is still uninstallable with a d-u, so I will know when it's Ok to take a risk?

apt-get install kwin-x11 kwin-common kwin-data -d gives me :

Like Clubex said, not for the faint at heart, but nothing to fear either, if using common sense. From the facts you post, things look ok.

I had to remove kwin manually first, but otherwise still OK. Still 89 packages to remove though so not a lot further forward.

Hi all,


regards from Crete, where temperature rises down to 28 C from 35+ C. Sorry for letting out the degree character, but silly Apple Keyboardtech from the 90's does not offer keyboardwise or is hidden for users.


My question as a normal user of siduction on this transition is:
Shall we wait or prepare for a full reinstsllation/setup?


All meanings/recommendations welcome.

[devil]

Just sit tight.

That is easy to do, thanks!

@mylo


Why is Apple® keyboard tech silly and not maybe the person in charge of the keyboard?
Apple bashing does not make any sense in this forum.
Greetings

Hi Samoth,
You are right, but i also...will change Forum for that.

[mylo]

Sorry samoht! Apple changed your name...

Careful with KDE upgrades today. plasma-widgets-workspace is being removed on some systems and I am sure you want to keep that.
