what distro are you on

brazen peak
#

arch

cloud trellis
#

also don't try to create the desktop entries manually if you don't know how

brazen peak
#

alright

cloud trellis
#

go into a tty, log in, and run startplasma-x11

brazen peak
#

then?

#

anything else?

cloud trellis
#

did it do anything

brazen peak
#

wait

#

ill try rn

#

well

#

in a bit

#

if theres anything else i should do tell me

#

thnaks

cloud trellis
#

sudo pacman -S --needed plasma-meta plasma-wayland-session --noconfirm

brazen peak
#

how do i enter a TTY

#

like

#

control+alt F(keys) launches me into a black screen with a blinking cursor

cloud trellis
brazen peak
#

yes

#

no

#

but

#

im dumb

cloud trellis
brazen peak
#

no like

#

i cant type anything

#

pressing enter doesnt give me a prompt either

cloud trellis
#

use F5

brazen peak
#

ok it worked

#

ok s

cloud trellis
#

F1 is usually hijacked by the DM, sometimes F2 as well, F2 and F3 are usually hijacked by your DE

brazen peak
#

i ran startplasma-x11

#

but it said that

#

authoritisazion is required but no protocola specified

cloud trellis
brazen peak
#

could not connect to x server

#

can I do it in my tty0

cloud trellis
brazen peak
#

oh

#

tty1

#

then

#

my DE

cloud trellis
#

what distro did you used to use before arch

brazen peak
#

kubuntu

#

before that i used popOS

#

then int

cloud trellis
brazen peak
#

and ubuntu and alot of weird stuff

brazen peak
#

read the post

#

i cant find anything in login screen

cloud trellis
#

why'd you hop straight to arch?

brazen peak
#

eh

cloud trellis
brazen peak
#

okay

cloud trellis
#

i wouldn't risk doing it in kde

#

because it literally reinstalls kde

brazen peak
#

okay

#

it said

#

target not found

#

plasma-wayland-session

cloud trellis
#

delete that bit and rerun the command

brazen peak
#

okay but

#

are you sure

#

it wont

#

caus

#

damage

#

or like

#

me having to use the tty for logner

cloud trellis
#

reinstallation doesn't cause more damage

#

worst that can happen is that nothing happens

brazen peak
#

ok

#

it

#

completed

#

and took like 1 second

#

too fast

cloud trellis
#

and i don't really think arch is suitable for you tbh

brazen peak
#

it didnt feel like a reinstall

brazen peak
#

how could you say that

#

im like

#

so young

cloud trellis
#

ok?

#

it's not an insult

brazen peak
#

i know

#

felt like one

cloud trellis
#

and don't try to guilt trip people

brazen peak
#

i didnt

cloud trellis
#

right

brazen peak
#

im desperate

#

now

#

why did it take such little time

cloud trellis
#

idk

brazen peak
#

let me tell u what it said

#

installing plasma meta

cloud trellis
#

try the same command but add plasma-workspace to it

brazen peak
#

then its checked sum stuff

brazen peak
#

it said

#

both are up to date - skipping

#

wait brb

cloud trellis
#

that's because of the --needed flag

#

actually

brazen peak
#

o

#

wait

cloud trellis
#

run sudo pacman -Syyu plasma-meta plasma-workspace --noconfirm ; sudo pacman -Scc --noconfirm

#

last bit is just a cache clearance

brazen peak
#

ok

#

whats gonna heppen

#

itll reinstall?

#

everything?

cloud trellis
#

yeah

brazen peak
#

okay

cloud trellis
#

this will take a bit longer but yea

brazen peak
#

ykw ill do this tomorrow i gotta sleep

#

mb

#

cloud trellis
#

cloud trellis
brazen peak
