Halfway through the installation it throws me back to the login screen. When I try to continue the update/upgrade it does it again.

I already did a rollback with snapper and forgot to note at which package it exactly happened.

So anyone trying to update, beware that the update might not get through.

I’ll wait a week and then try again.

Update

Ashged on reddit:

*Yeah, unfortunately the update doesn’t work within KDE. No idea if/when they’ll make a fix for that.

The update however works outside KDE, in an IceWM desktop or a TTY. For best results, first log out of KDE, then using Ctr+Alt+F1 go a text based enviroment. Log in there, use sudo zypper dup, then after it finishes, reboot and log in to your regular KDE desktop. Plasma 6 should upgrade succesfully.*

    I am long-time Tumbleweed user and it really boggles my mind how something like this goes past “quality control” and “testing”.

    It’s updating your desktop so that’s why it does that. The safest way is to log out of your desktop session and login via terminal (press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to one) and run zypper dup.

    I’m not sure what I did differently. I accidentally updated to Plasma 6 by just clicking Update All in the Discover app. I didn’t even realize Plasma 6 was out yet for Tumbleweed. It worked perfectly for me.

    I was on Wayland and it kicked me out to login, I tried again and it did the same thing, each time installing a couple more packages. The last time I logged into icewm and completed it and it worked fine. I did wipe out my .config folder so I could start fresh with kde6 though

    I was tossed back to the login screen, but was fine otherwise. I am on Wayland by the way, maybe this issue is an X11 exclusive one.

    Same thing happened to me. I ended up finishing up the upgrade in Sway. Not a great user experience, but it wasn’t a huge deal for me.

    I followed Ashged’s guide to install the update and upgrade to KDE6. It worked and now let’s see if I run into any bugs. So far everything seems to work fine.
