[SOLVED] Full Instructions for Upgrading from KDE4 to Plasma 5?

I almost threw my computer against the wall yesterday after trying to upgrade to Plasma 5.2. I followed what I thought were the complete instructions from the Wiki: install SDDM, remove kdebase-workspace (using Pacman -Rsc kdebase-workspace), then installing Plasma.
What I rebooted to was unusable. I had no Konsole and no Dolphin, and many of my apps were gone. I had to restore my old system from a backup in order to get anything done.
Would someone *please* list the *entire* sequence for updating from a current KDE4 installation to the "recommended" Plasma 5.2?  Thank you!

I've done the following on a couple machines now without having issues:
pacman -S sddm sddm-kcm
systemctl disable kdm && systemctl enable sddm
pacman -S --needed kf5 kf5-aids
pacman -Rsn $(LANG=C pacman -Qi kdebase-workspace | grep "Req" | sed -e 's/Required By : //g')
pacman -Rsn kdebase-workspace (may not be wise, see arojas reply below regarding kde-meta)
pacman -S plasma
reboot
On one machine I had to remove some additional pkgs that depended on kdeplasma-addons-libs between steps 3 & 4 above.
pacman -Rsn $(LANG=C pacman -Qi kdeplasma-addons-libs | grep "Req" | sed -e 's/Required By : //g')

    Quicken is an example that the OP noted is important to her, too!

    This program will work with Quicken 2005, 2006 and 2007 data files directly.  If you have a data file from an older version, such as I did, Quicken Deluxe 2002, you must use the PPC version of either Quicken 2006 or 2007 to update the data first; and then the data will work in Quicken 2007 for Lion.

  • Instructions for upgrading MacBook hard drive?

    Wanted to ask if anyone knew of a set of set-by-step instructions for upgrading a MacBook internal hard drive and migrating the data from the old drive to the new drive. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.....
    I have a 15-inch late 2008 MacBook Pro (currently running OS X 10.9.5 [13F34]), and would like to replace the 250gb drive with a 1tb Seagate Momentus XT drive. I have been unable to find a single set of instructions for doing the replacement myself, particularly with respect to data migration.
    From what I have read, the process should look like this:
    1. Install the new hard drive in an external enclosure case, connect to MacBook and do a 'clean' OSX Yosemite install on the new hard drive [then boot MacBook from external drive to test installation]
    2. Use Setup or Migration Assistant to transfer applications, preferences and user files from the old hard drive to the new hard drive
    3. Shut down MacBook, disconnect new hard drive and remove new hard drive from enclosure
    4. Open up MacBook, remove old hard drive and replace it with the new hard drive
    Am I missing anything? Are there any other issues about which I should be aware?
    Many thanks (in advance) for your assistance....

    I had read somewhere that Apple recommended doing a clean install. when upgrading to a new drive. A couple of years back, someone on the forums had all kinds of problems upgrading to (I think) a 750gb Seagate XT drive, and the closest thing they got to an answer was the suggestion that the problem stemmed from cloning their old drive and that they should have done a clean install.
    Almost all of my macs (many) are clones, some more than one generation. They all run as fast as the few 'clean' installs (mainly new machines)
    If you update a good installation, and check that you are not cloning (or migrating, either way has the same issue) incompatible software to the new drive/OS there is no difference. The key is getting rid of or updating the old stuff before upgrading the OS, often forgotten but it can bite when you don't.
    If you use my method, you get to test the installation before committing it to an internal role.

  • Will I be charged for upgrade from OSX 10.7.4 version to 10.7.6 version?

    Will I be charged for upgrade from OSX 10.7.4 version to 10.7.6 version?
    When I check for the software upgrade on my Mac-book Air, it is showing that the above upgrade is available. Will it be charged? I am not asked the ‘ Apple ID’ before start of up gradation process , does that mean that such upgrades are free?
    If yes, How much are the chargers for such upgrades?
    Thanks for your inputs.

    10.7.6 does not exist.
    The next one will be Mountain Lion 10.8 and will cost a little amount.
    The Mountain Lion is not an "update", but an "upgrade": a different OS: before installing you should check the compatibilty of your hardware and software.

  • Options for Upgrade from OSX 10.4 to Leopard

    Hi all, I started this question over here:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2592383&tstart=0
    and BDAqua recommended I start a new thread, so here goes:
    My computer has been crazy slow for the last year or two. I have a MacBook with Mac OS X (10.4.11). We've think we want to reinstall the OS, I don't have the original install disks.
    BAqua recommended paying the $29 for the Leopard upgrade, but I noticed here http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html that it says I need to get the full product since I'm on OSX 10.4 - is that true?. Here's what it says on the bottom right:
    Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger.
    If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set, which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6.3 Snow Leopard; iLife, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork, Apple’s productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    I'm not sure it's worth $169 to upgrade the OS - especially considering we don't even know if it's a hardware problem.
    Also, can I do a complete reinstall with the upgrade disk anyways? My husband has worked on PCs for a long time, but wasn't sure what to do about a Mac that has what appears to be a lot of corrupted settings. He tried to create a new user and copy the setting over (seems like common advice on these forums), but my computer hangs forever when trying to create a new user. He figures it's faster to just reinstall than try and fix it one problem at a time. Thoughts?
    Thanks so much!

    There have been reports from users who have bought the $29. package
    and used it to install a newer Snow Leopard 10.6.x system in a supported
    Mac computer model that was capable of using that version.
    Snow Leopard 10.6 is the current production version; Leopard 10.5 is not.
    With enough free space (capacity, unused) on the computer's hard disk
    drive, a new system could be installed; an Upgrade & Install, if you had
    a newer retail install DVD. But too full of a hard disk drive, and it won't
    work; neither would an Archive & Install, where you choose to have the
    new system save and use the old user account & setup info. If the Mac
    has too much stuff on the hard disk drive, it has to be dealt with first.
    And the computer system itself is separate from the user acct issues.
    The 10.6 upgrade is a full installer, according to those who have used it;
    but the better deal would be to get the large 'complete package deal' due
    to the addition of the other software, each in a retail package version, to
    add those other apps that the upgrade installer by itself won't include.
    And the older Tiger-level versions are fairly outdated to try and use in the
    Mac once you've upgraded the OS from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6.x.
    Usual issues as you describe that are affecting your computer use, tend
    to be related to a few factors; issues contributing to slowness and sluggish
    performance, include: a too-full hard disk drive, in adequate RAM installed
    to run certain Apps. And a combination of a fuller than desired hard disk
    drive plus inadequate available RAM installed, can make a system slow.
    RAM is on-chip random access memory; HDD capacity is storage space.
    Not to confuse these; however the computer will use larger sections of free
    hard disk drive space. Unused capacity, used as Virtual Memory helps the
    Mac OS X system and Apps you may be using, handle the workload and
    temp files, swap space, Virtual Memory and other workings, are comprom-
    ised by a lack of sufficient free or unused hard disk drive capacity.
    Also, in addition to the above, certain cache files in the system, and other
    items addressed by routine and preventative maintenance, can grow to a
    point where they can slow the system. So, trying to install an upgrade over
    a problem not directly related to the system, only will layer the first problem.
    The symptoms you describe indicate the problem is probably due to the
    hard drive being near full capacity; or perhaps it has bad sectors and a
    part of the hard disk drive is not longer accessible to the Mac OS X, so the
    computer is working around the lack of space needed as Virtual Memory;
    and has gotten way slow in trying to find temporary work space, under load.
    IF the internal drive in the computer is more than 75 to 85% full, it likely is
    overdue for some clearing out; image files, music files, libraries of these
    can use up plenty of hard disk drive storage capacity. So much, the Mac
    may start to work very hard, and then the usual thing is hard drive failure.
    So, you should consider using an external drive enclosure that can boot
    the computer model you have (some can't.) If your Mac has USB 2.0
    ports, and FireWire400/800, then an external enclosure sporting both
    kinds of ports (FW + USB2.0) with its own power supply; and making a
    complete computer drive clone, on the external drive.
    Once a suitable and boot-capable copy/clone is created on an external
    hard disk drive, and it is tested to see it can start and run the Mac, you
    could choose to use Disk Utility from the clone's utility folder, and have
    it 'repair disk permissions' on the booted clone. Then, it may be OK to
    secure erase (one-pass) the hard disk drive, using Disk Utility's optional
    tools, and choose a partition map (GUID-type) and reformat to HFS+.
    Then, the system which was cloned to the external drive could be re-
    cloned back to the internal hard disk drive. The same Clone utility can
    be used to move or copy an OS X system back & forth. One that I use
    is a free-running donationware/download, named Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Since the computer have/had shipped with a special version of Tiger
    10.4, (Intel-based Macs with Tiger) this would not be able to use a
    retail copy of the Tiger DVD to do a re-install. You could call Apple
    Sales/Support, and tell them the Serial Number of your Mac, and ask
    about getting a replacement original software packet for your computer.
    This would cost a nominal fee; or go for the $29. Snow Leopard one.
    The product specialist you'd talk to about this, at 1-800-MY-APPLE
    may be able to direct you somewhat, if the original Tiger 10.4 replace-
    ment disc set is no longer available for your computer.
    A concern, would be if you were somehow able to install an upgrade to
    a later system into your computer, as it is now (with issues) the problem
    could be worse, since a too-full hard disk drive can be damaged or be
    a cause of software/data loss once you over-fill the drive.
    Also, a portable computer, among others that see a lot of use, may need
    a new/replacement hard disk drive by now; after three to five years run-
    time. They do wear out, and the more they have to work to do read/write
    cycles of use, such as when inadequate chip RAM is installed, to swap
    files and use HDD free space as Virtual Memory, things wear out faster.
    So, the system itself isn't likely the cause of the problem; but is a symptom.
    And you need to have some system discs. The replacement of original discs
    would give you the correct Apple Hardware Test it shipped with; this is not
    on any other version OS X install disc. And the original disc set should be
    included with a computer when it is sold, traded, or gifted away. Plus, any
    other OS X version it may have been upgraded with. To cover all bases.
    Perhaps someone else has a shorter version of this line of thinking, with a
    few good web links to helpful sites? I have fielded three local interruptions
    not related to computers while trying to write what I thought was a simple
    reply to a question; but find it is easier to know the answer than get it out.

  • Any tips for upgrading from LR4 to LR5

    I am just about to attempt my upgrade from LR4 (student edition) to full-fledged LR5.   Any hints or tips on how to redirect LR4 directories, etc. to LR5?   Other tips for the install?   (Obviously, I've backed up my computer prior to starting.)
    Thanks!
    Rick

    Your "full-fledged" Lightroom 5 will be no different than the student version of Lightroom 5, because there is only one Lightroom program. You'll have new features in Lightroom 5, of course. But don't expect anything extraordinary because there is no difference. All you have to do is install Lightroom 5. Since it is an upgrade, it will look for that serial number from your Lightroom 4, and then you will have to enter the new serial number for Lightroom 5. When Lightroom starts it will find your previous catalog and will offer to upgrade it to the appropriate format. The original Lightroom 4 catalog will be left as it was, and completely usable by Lightroom 4. After the upgrade process completes you should be able to see all the images and all the work that you did in Lightroom 4, but you will be using the new program. It's a very straightforward process.

  • Performance Recommendations for Upgrade from 2009 MBP

    i am looking to upgrade from a 13" 2009 MBP which I am using to run Parallels 7 (among other things) and which i have not been happy with performance-wise. I went ahead and put a full 8 GB of RAM in it and still too many hangs and delays. I am however pretty happy with my old Mac Pro.
    Can anyone help me with recommendations on buying a new laptop? I mean, I don't really see myself running computationally intensive operations and this thing is pretty much a drag.

  • Tip for upgrading from MBP to iMac with Leopard & Parallels Boot Camp

    Here are some pointers based on my recent experience upgrading from a MacBook Pro to an iMac, under Leopard and with Parallels using a Boot Camp partition for Windows.
    First, you do not need to create a Windows partition on your new computer. You will use Boot Camp Assistant to do that - it can dynamically resize your existing Mac OS X partition without destroying it. (I initially used Disk Utility to create a Windows partition but it wasn't recognised properly by Parallels and also the Mac wouldn't boot from it).
    A great way to simplify getting your old installation across is to make a Time Machine backup onto an external drive. Yes, you could also use start up your old Mac in Target mode (hold down T key when you start it), then start the new Mac and copy your settings over. But in my case, the new iMac (a refurb) came with Tiger installed on it while my old Mac had already been upgraded to Leopard.
    I started the new Mac using a Leopard install CD (holding down the C key while starting). Then I chose to restore from a Time Machine backup instead of installing from CD, and soon had a functioning Leopard installation on the new Mac. Well, almost.
    Next I used Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition on the new drive. The old Mac's partition was only 10 GB in size, but I made the new one 31.9 GB in size (so I could stay under the Windows limit of 32 GB for FAT partitions). I then quit without installing Windows.
    On the old Mac, I used an external drive formatted as FAT and used Disk Utility to 'restore' my Windows partition to the external drive. Next I plugged that drive into the new Mac, and restored the external Windows partition to the new Mac's Windows partition. So far, so good. However, Parallels would not start this installation of Windows, and the new Mac would not boot into it (holding down the Option key at start-up did not show me a Windows drive).
    I tried doing a repair of the Windows installation using a Windows install disk but that did not work. What did work was the following: I booted from the Window install CD, then started a new installation. I asked Windows to format the Windows partition on the new Mac, then powered off the new Mac as soon as Windows started copying files. Next, I rebooted the new Mac into Mac OS X, started Disk Utility, and again did a restore of the Windows partition on the external drive to the Windows partition on the new Mac.
    The final step was to reboot the new Mac into Windows directly so that I could load drivers from the Leopard install CD. [I haven't done that yet, so I'm not sure it's necessary].
    Hope this helps!

    Sounds solid to me. If the Glyph was connected on a firewire port that is. This would free up the bandwith that way but actually it is hardly an issue with the Duet considering the limited inputs. But using the Glyph as a backup for your projects is good wise idea anyway.
