2019-07-09 - Qt5, Cinnamon, XFCE, Deepin, Palemoon, Firefox (Stable Update)

[Blueriver]

Hello community,

I am happy to announce another Stable Update.

Currently some of us are on the way back from Tübix and meetings we had with friends. Having good relationships with people from NerdZoom is key to know how the Linux community thinks.

Some might noticed that since the #snapcraftsummit a lot of package changes went into Manjaro and our available RCs. Also we didn't yet announce 18.1.0-rc3 officially yet. We are still polishing the snap experience for our users. XFCE and Gnome will come with Gnome-Software and our KDE edition has Discover, both with snap support enabled.

This way everybody can easily access the snap store by a click and don't has to hassle to get snaps enabled. This enables us to ship even more proprietary software, which we couldn't before. For example check out on how you may install Spotify on Manjaro.

This update holds the following changes:

Qt5 got updated to 5.13.0. Please tell us if we had missed some Qt-based application to be rebuilt against this new series.
more Cinnamon, XFCE and Deepin upgrades
Palemoon and Firefox-Dev got renewed
the usual upstream rebuilds
Manjaro Juhraya ISOs got updated, including snap support pre-activated: XFCE, KDE, Gnome
Give us the usual feedback and let us know what you think about this update.

File conflict: "snapd: /snap already exists in filesystem"
If you have this file conflict, we recommend to use the command-line interface for this time and use the --overwrite option. In a command-line interface, use the following command or any equivalent of your choice:

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite '/snap'

mariadb 10.4.x update requires manual intervention
(Source: https://www.archlinux.org/news/mariadb- ... ervention/ , 2019-06-27, by Christian Hesse)

The update to mariadb 10.4.6-1 and later changes configuration layout as recommended by upstream.

The main configuration file moved from /etc/mysql/my.cnf (and its include directory /etc/mysql/my.cnf.d/ ) to /etc/my.cnf (and /etc/my.cnf.d/ ). Make sure to move your configuration.

Instantiated services (like mariadb@foo.service ) are no longer configured in separate files (like /etc/mysql/myfoo.cnf ). Instead move your configuration to configuration blocks with group suffix in main configuration file, one for each service. A block should look something like this:

[mysqld.foo]
datadir = /var/lib/mysql-foo
socket = /run/mysqld/mysqld-foo.sock
...
Like every mariadb feature update this requires the data directory to be updated. With the new configuration in place run:

systemctl restart mariadb.service && mariadb-upgrade -u root -p

Some KDE System Settings may have been re-set to their defaults
System Settings > Input Devices > Touchpad > Tap-to-click
Scrolling
The compositor could get disabled during the upgrade which will stop all of the KDE eye-candy
(Font-)Hinting could get reset to none

Alles bestens. Auch keine Einstellungsänderung am Touchpad.....

[Blueriver]

Problemlos erledigt.

Auf allen "Kisten" alles gut. Danke!

Sauber durch gelaufen, ohne Probleme. Alles gut!
Danke an die Macher von Manjaro, das stabilste Linux für mich. Hoffe natürlich das es auch weiterhin so bleibt.
