installation of KDE 5

peterp · 2014-08-31 20:08:40

Hello All!

I've tried to update my KDE via pacman.
Unfortunately installation stopped after resolution of possible conficts with message: (confliting files) kactivity-frameworks: /usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd exists in the filesystem.

Have anyone met simitlar situation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Greetings!

Welcome to Arch Linux. I would not expect that behavior.

How, specifically, did you install the original, and how did you try to do the update?
I have a hunch you need to do a full system update using pacman -Syu.

Hello,

I've tried following command: pacman -S kf5 kf5-aids (of course with sudo).
I thought that it will update already installed version, in similar way to many other packages installed again via pacman...

Thanks and have nice day!

Can you post the full output of your command? You should have been prompted to remove kactivities4

So his hunch was right? Now use -Syu.

Unfortunately output is in polish language... I'm not sure how helpful would it be.

I did't find anything strange or very uncommon in pacman output after running install command and there were no information about removing kactivites4.
There were following steps:
- question about sub-packages from kf5 and kf-aids,
- question about choice of phonon-gt5-backend,
- searching of inter-package conflicts,
- question about start of installation,
- checking of keys in keys set,
- checking of packages consistency,
- checking of conflicts,
- error message about kactivities manager daemon.
That is all.

I can run update of full system, but I'm wondering about possibility to update only KDE to newer version - just for future and because of my curiosity.
Any ideas about that?

Greetings!

It is fairly easy to cause the output to be generated in English https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code which is good -- your English is infinitely better than my Polish

No, you cannot do partial upgrades. The Pacman Wiki page has a detailed explanation.
The partial upgrade issue was the point I kind of danced around up in post #2

Explanation there is sound and understandable

System update is running, thank for your support!

Greetings for all Arch users!
