to note, kdm is now missing from the system, removed by an update .. putting it back seems to bring kde4 packages, but i was running kde5 for a long time now. I could install task-plasma5 packages , but i don't see kdm in the dependencies..

plymouth-scripts - Plymouth related scriptsâ ï»¿                                                                                                                        
This package contains scripts that help integrate Plymouth with the system.

Version: 0.9.2-7.mga6
        Currently installed version: 0.9.2-7.mga6
        Group: System/Boot and Init
        Architecture: x86_64
        Size: 22 KB
Medium: None (installed)
plymouth-system-theme - Plymouth default themeâ ï»¿                                                                                                                        
This metapackage tracks the current distribution default theme.

Version: 0.9.2-7.mga6
        Currently installed version: 0.9.2-7.mga6
        Group: System/Boot and Init
        Architecture: x86_64
        Size: 0 KB
        Medium: None (installed)

So the 2 (missing) packages are registering as installed ... and there are no other versions available.

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2016-09-23 18:33:21 CEST

Please report one bug per issue.
kdm is replaced by sddm and kde by plasmap
gnome is currently in a unstable state (not completly updated to new version yet)

I will close this bug as invalid.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 4 Sam Khangyi 2016-09-23 21:42:59 CEST

thanks for the good tips;
re installed sddm and plasma-workspace
and edited sysconfig/desktop to use sddm and plasma 

and now it works again, back in kde ... five :-)

Comment 5 Sam Khangyi 2016-09-23 21:45:19 CEST

kde4 ... instead of plasma
