When I tried plasma and it crashed every 10 seconds I reverted and |
| 11 |
manually masked all packages >4.15. |

I figure eventually the instability will go away but decided to leave it |
| 14 |
for another year or so. Heck, I may never update again. ;-) I like |
| 15 |
having a desktop that just works. |

I haven't tried updating recently (some months because I don't want to |
| 18 |
deal with the plasma stuff now) though, so I don't know if it still works. |

I've attached my package.mask if you want to try it. Talk about try to |
| 21 |
solve updates with a sledgehammer though... |

I think you'll also have to remove wallpapers in order to make portage |
| 24 |
happy about conflicts: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
[/etc/portage/package.use] |
| 27 |
kde-base/kdebase-startkde -wallpapers |
| 28 |
kde-apps/kdebase-meta -wallpapers |
| 29 |

(Yes, it took forever to do that manually.) |

I suspect it will probably not work now but it'll be a starting point if |
| 33 |
you want to try this method. Maybe all you'll have to do is adjust some |
| 34 |
versions? |
