Hi, I run this two commands.
I am using KDE Neon with plasmashell 5.13, which works fine.

There are no recent packages to upgrade. So, we have to wait.
Regards,

I've just noticed that testing upgrades to Bionic is now open:

https://community.kde.org/Neon/BionicUpgrades

Hi Alexsid,
I appreciate your post and the advice given into it will not encourage me to try bionic after it becomes stable.

Hi!

I just want to share my results concerning the upgrade. I cannot add anything here https://community.kde.org/Neon/BionicUpgrades/Testing as I am not a valid wiki-user.

KDE neon 15.13.2
UEFI
No
Success

-> Comment: Had to install update-manger as it was not installed by default.
Update process with some minor notifications coming from update-manager. Complaining about neon-desktop pkg.

less main.log | grep -e"ERROR" gives this:

Code: Select all

These errors showed up in the upgrade-GUI as human readable messages during the installation and could be ignored.

After the installation finished an apt update upgrade combo gave me following

Code: Select all

Probieren Sie »apt --fix-broken install«, um dies zu korrigieren.
Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten:
 neon-desktop : Hängt ab von: distro-release-notifier ist aber nicht installiert
                Hängt ab von: ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt ist aber nicht installiert
                Empfiehlt: neon-apport ist aber nicht installiert
E: Unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten. Versuchen Sie »apt --fix-broken install« ohne Angabe eines Pakets (oder geben Sie eine Lösung an).

sudo apt --fix-broken install fixed the problem and a upgrade could be done via command.

All seems to be working as expected.

Cheers!

The only issue I faced was Mesa rendered utterly broken, but that's probably due to the X-Swat PPA I had enabled. So, if you have this PPA in your system, ppa-purge it before upgrading. After fixing that I had no other problems, everything works as expected.

[SOLVED] - I had to reinstall update-manager in order to restore a corrupt file

I updated /etc/update-manager/meta-release to use https://metadata.neon.kde.org/changelogs/meta-release and https://metadata.neon.kde.org/changelog ... elease-lts but update-manager will not find the Bionic distro upgrade after logging out and then logging back in.

/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to "Prompt=lts" but still the Bionic upgrade was not found.

I'm not finding any info in /var/log/syslog so either I have a broken update-manager (reinstalling it did nothing) or I'm missing something else. I've googled for a solution but couldn't find one.

Hello,

I upgraded Neon to 18.04 version, but since the update, I don't have neon upgrade (plasma, kde frameworks, etc.), only the ubuntu upgrades.
It's normal ? Did i miss something ?

Thanks !

Only that Neon has not upgraded to 18.04 which explains why you have "missing upgrades".

Thank you for your answer. And good news, it seems there is now upgrade, I have a big one this evening

And another information about Neon 18.04 : there is a dependency problem with kmail.
-> After updated a PC with neon 16.04 and kmail installed : no problem.
-> With a new PC and a fresh install of neon 16.04 without kmail, after the update to 18.04, I installed kmail, I have an error when I launch mail.
In the diagnostic, there is :
Test 6: ERROR
--------
MySQL server default configuration not found.
Details: The default configuration for the MySQL server was not found or was not readable. Check your Akonadi installation is complete and you have all required access rights.

I found a solution on this discussion : viewtopic.php?f=309&t=152324
It seems there is missing a dependency whit maria-db server. Launch this command "sudo apt-get install mariadb-common mariadb-server akonadi-server akonadi-backend-mysql kdepim-runtime kontact kmail" fixed the problem.

Are we ever going to see the 18.04 upgrade for KDE Neon? It's going on 4 months. 18.04.1 has already been released..

Yes, but see:

Nice, but that doesn't impact very much whether a Neon -> Neon upgrade is QA'd well enough to be recommended and turned on.

I upgraded yesterday and had no problems at all.

I do not understand what you've upgraded, Neon? Kubuntu? Upgraded to git stable version? If you've upgraded to a stable version of git you could have installed it safely with .iso image

I just followed the instructions from here:

Am using the stable version.
