2016-07-27 - Kernels, Plasma, Apps, Framework, Calamares (Stable Update)
Verfasst: Mittwoch 27. Juli 2016, 20:07
Hi community,
seems it took us a little longer than we had thought on getting a new stable update out there. We finally made it! Also some of you might have noticed that our main homepage is back up, that we have now a new bugtracker , our wiki is shining and we have again access to our classic forum , if people want to use that more than our new discourse one. So what changed with this update?
Most of our kernels got updated to their latest point releases
Additionally to 4.5.7 we have now 3.19.8.23 and 4.2.8.13 tagged as EndOfLife (EOL). We will remove them all with our next update!
QT got updated to 5.7 series (please read our troubleshoots to avoid issues with your theming)
Our KDE edition gained Plasma 5.7.2, Apps 16.04.3 and Framework 5.24
Firefox got updated to 47.0.1 and Thunderbird to 45.2.0
Mesa gained new features and is now at 12.x series
We updated most of Python and Haskell packages
Lumina Desktop is almost ready to see its first stable release (1.0b2)
With Calamares 2.3 we support now end2end luks encryption incl. swap
Much needed security fixes added
Archlinux upstream fixes are now from: Tue Jul 26 07:41 CEST 2016.
Please report any issues you may have with this update. Also read our troubleshoots to avoid known issues. The complete package list can be found here .
Kind regards,

Troubleshoots
GTK3
With this we updated Gnome and GTK to 3.20. This will break most of the themes, which will be fixed if and when their developers decide to update them. Some GTK 3.20-compliant themes are ready now - see further down this post.
The new default Manjaro GTK theme, which is GTK 3.20 compatible, is Vertex-Maia
You can install it with:
QT apps style with GTK
With QT 5.7 you need to install qt5-styleplugins and qt5ct and configure your system to have an unified look again (If you use applications with root-rights, do the same for your root user) .
ufw
If you have issues with ufw not working anymore, you have to copy your custom rules to a different folder. Do it like this:
steam
Steam might not work due incompatiblity of libgpg. You my try followed command to "fix" it:

Allerdings hatte ich befürchtet, dass es gar keine Updates mehr gibt, weil ist ja doch schon über 1 Monat her 
) Gedanken, den ich in der langen, updatelosen Zeit hatte (...noch schnell das Original-Windows auf dem Acer-S7-393 zu installieren, um kostenlos auf Windows 10 updaten zu können...) habe ich wieder verworfen!
