I'm not doing anything not discussed on this list. Installing from
Plasma Beta build 12442 and then updating. Having used Cooker off and on
since 2007 I'm very familiar with what is is/isn't. It's just
frustrating for the same thing to be broken for weeks on end while we're
supposed to be preparing a new release. That being said this is all a
consequence of us being so few in number. I see a difference between
Cooker being broken (to be expected) and an Alpha/Beta release not being
able to properly update for weeks. But again with no one full time and
so few developers I guess it sometimes takes a long time to get certain
things fixed.

I suggest you to test only oma lx3 candidate announced by developers.

Correction. Silly me. I did do the force update but I hadn't
rebooted. When I try to reboot I get grub2 error:
error: invalid arch-independent ELF majic
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Crap. I can't sin at this...

OK, I finally got it to force update and reboot. I didn't have a
qt4-common installed. urpmi qt4-common installed a x86_64 package.
Using the mirrors that came with install.
Perhaps something that would help with testing the forced update
would be a list of packages to install manually?

One thing that I just noticed is that while most of the qt4
packages on my system are x86_64, qt4-common is i586, and the
x86_64 version doesn't exist. Is this an oversight?

To me it's more the amount of time it's been broken. How can we be
confident in releasing something that has been broken for this
long? But yes VLC package stack goes bye bye as well as dolphin
and konqueror and probably more I don't realize.

I'm starting to wonder about Plasma 5. Haven't been able to
update it for over a month now (or so it seems) due to a few
broken packages. That's a long time to be broken. And we're at
version 5.4.x with all these problems and no screensaver or in my
case no sound either? In my case I also get a lot of random
freeze ups with Plasma 5 where on the same system no freeze ups
on LXQt (VBox and partition). Also for such a big change we need
a good bit of time to test and solve bugs but for the longest
time we can't because it won't even update. I'm aware that some
people have been able to 'force' the update but that isn't good
testing for a what we hope to be a stable, quality release. I
have all kinds of trouble forcing the update. Something always
breaks. I wish I could get forcing the update figured out so I
can see what version 5.4.1 is really like but so far no success.
When trying to update our primary desktop always breaks something
for this long of a time frame it is, um, well, scary. Not
confident in this desktop at all.
I'm starting to think we should consider a release with KDE4 and
give more time for Plasma 5 to get to a working/stable state.
One thing that might help my impression would be exactly how does
one get the forced update to work? I know you lose Dolphin and
Konqueror and I guess get stuck with inferior PCMan file manager.
Any way I'm off to try one more time in vbox to force the damn
update.
