Slimbook Neon upgrade
2024-10-11
Thank you Fabian! I was stuck in a bootloop after the upgrade: BIOS (or UEFI now?) screen over and over again with no clues as to why I couldn't get past the logo.
To get out of it, it is not the boot disk order I had to change but the one referring to UEFI. I selected "KDE Neon" (or "kde neon"?) over the previous top choice "neon". From there, all normal booting.
But it was a really disagreeable experience that should be avoided / fixed if possible. I only got out because I knew this page existed before the upgrade. In general, can't expect that people would see that.

User Edition 22.04 -> 24.04

The upgrade created a new UEFI entry called "KDE Neon 6.1". The older one "neon" is no longer working.
After upgrading to 24.04 I had to run "apt --fix-broken-install". But I think that's because the Firefox .deb repo got deactivated with the upgrade and then the installed version of Firefox conflicted with the transitional package from the Ubuntu repo which wants to install the snap version.
In Plasma Discover the Ubuntu repositories are no longer shown, but that was expected. With Ubuntu 24.04 Canonical changed their location. You have the same problem in Kubuntu.

only black screen with plymouth enabled (AMD driver/plymouth/sddm) issue
Workaround (for me):
- Edit /etc/default/grub: the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=". Delete the words "quiet splash" (leave the quotation marks ).
- Run sudo update-grub
