Hello community,
I am happy to announce another Stable Update. Mostly we have updates for Juhraya 18.1.2 release.
Update news
This update holds the following changes:
For KDE fans we have more or less a double feature of Plasma. First we have the official Plasma 5.17.1 release. Then we updated our KDE-Dev packages to their latest git-snapshots.
KDE Frameworks is now at 5.63
LibreOffice got updated to 6.2.8
AMD FOSS drivers got renewed to 19.1.0
Firefox is now at 70.0
Virtualbox got updated to 6.0.14
We worked hard to get Pamac compatible with pacman 5.2
Octopi got patched by us 5 to work with Pacman 5.2
Mesa is now at 19.2.2
Nvidia 440.26 13 driver got added to mhwd
Fixes for Intel within Xorg-Server
The usual updates and improvements and upstream package renewals
Manjaro 18.1.2 got released! Please test and give us feedback: gnome , kde, xfce
Latest efforts by KDE can be reviewed via our current KDE-Dev ISO or current KDE-Vanilla ISO
Give us the usual feedback and let us know what you think about this update.

Firefox 70.0 wants to create a new profile
Since Manjaro sometimes updates packages before Arch does it might come in rare cases that Firefox wants to create a new profile. You can avoid that by starting Firefox once within a terminal the following way (see also here):
xfce4-power-manager does not open / upower fails
Install kernel 4.14 or higher (4.14, 4.19, 5.2 [EOL], 5.3)
There is an issue with upower 0.99.11-1 on kernels 4.4 and 4.9.
xfce4-terminal / guake / gnome-terminal does not open
Update to vte3 0.58.2-1 or install kernel 4.14 or higher (4.14, 4.19, 5.2 [EOL], 5.3)
There is an issue with vte3 0.58.1-1 on kernels 4.4 and 4.9.
Replace linux51 with community/linux-latest ?
linux51 is EOL and has been removed from the repositories. It will be replaced by a metapackage which will from now on keep you on a maintained kernel.
If you want to keep the old kernel and modules then include them in your pacman.conf's IgnorePkg.
Pamac-Qt is not compatible to 9.0 API of Pamac
It's not quite obvious but I think I could find the source. For now it's much more important to adopt the logic of app to upcoming 9.0 release
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
the pkgver 19.10.1 ship with an hook to remove the capability from gnome-shell. A message is present during install but essentially you need to reboot the system to show correctly the icons in the desktop. More info here
