Neon/LTS/EOL

Important

KDE neon Plasma LTS Edition holdes ikke længere i live. Du kan stadig prøve at skifte til den almindelige User Edition, men dette er ikke længere understøttet. Skulle du prøve alligevel, så sørg for at lave backup af alle dine data. Vi anbefaler en ny installation af User Edition hvis du stadig har LTS udgaven.

Fra den 1/7 2021 udsendes der ikke længere updateringer til KDE neon Plasma LTS; du må skifte til den almindelige brugerudgave for at modtage opdateringer. Dette inkluderer sikkerhedsopdateringer. Ved at afvikle LTS-udgaven kan vi bruge vores ressourcer mere effektivt på de mest værdifulde og mest brugte udgaver af neon. Dette skridt har naturligvis været længe undervejs. Vi fjernede fjernede omtale af den fra websiderne for 3 år siden https://blog.neon.kde.org/index.php/2018/02/12/hiding-neon-lts-edition/, og begrundelsen for dette er endnu mere sand i dag, end den var dengang.

Switching to KDE neon User Edition

Usually we do not actively support switching from one edition of KDE neon to another. The following migration path has been tested and should work as intended. Please note that any third party repositories such as PPAs, and non-KDE software installed via .deb files in general may inhibit the migration from working correctly. To be on the safe side we advise that you remove/downgrade the software and/or repositories.

Make a backup of all important data.

Have a new installation medium ready in case the switch goes wrong and you need to reinstall a fresh system. https://neon.kde.org/download

Create a file called 40-neon-user-lts-migration in your home directory and put the following content inside

Package: *
Pin: release l=KDE neon - User Edition
Pin-Priority: 1100

Switch the repository

sudo sed -i --regexp-extended 's%(neon\.kde\.org.+)(/lts)%\1%g' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Next run the following commands:

sudo mv $HOME/40-neon-user-lts-migration /etc/apt/preferences.d
pkcon refresh
pkcon update --only-download
pkcon offline-trigger

Next you need to restart your system and on startup it will migrate to user edition, followed by an automatic restart. As part of the migration the file you created will be automatically deleted. To ensure all software is at the expected versions it's advised to repeat the pkcon commands to apply remaining updates (if any):

pkcon refresh
pkcon update --only-download
pkcon offline-trigger

Don't forget to restart.
