That log doesn’t show me what is breaking kubuntu-desktop. I will have to try and upgrade questing in a vm

Found the issue and working on a resolution. Thanks for reporting!

Ohh what was it?

Curious to know

apport → systemd-coredump → drkonqi still working on fix

We have uploaded a fix, but it is still in proposed. Install systemd-coredump and accept the removal of apport-core-dump-handler. then the do-release-upgrade -d will work.

Just upgraded. I know that there was no plan to switch to Plasma Login Manager, but I was hoping it’d be an optional install for those of us who want to switch.

No sorry. It isn’t packaged yet. It was released to late in the game for this release. We welcome volunteers to help with packaging! Though it’s still too late for this one.

After the launch and upon reaching the first update point, will it be available?

Sorry, will what be available? plasma-login-manager? No. Nothing can go into NEW once feature freeze hits, which occurred awhile ago. Login managers are not simple to package and it was released by KDE too late for us to get it in. It will get packaged for 26.10 and on.
