2016-11-25 - Plasma 5.8.4, VirtualBox 5.1.10, Gstreamer (Stable Upadte)

Beitrag von Blueriver »

With Plasma 5.8.4 many bug fixes went into multi screen support. Also high DPI scaling on shutdown/switch user dialogs got disabled. Additionally taking screenshots got fixed. Virtualbox 5.1.10 includes fixes for GUI, audio and several problems with host OSs. Texlive and Gstreamer got also updated. Last but not least we ship now Linux v4.9-rc6 with all extramodules building now.

Upstream packages are up till: Thu Nov 24 13:57:52 CET 2016

Report back your findings as usual ...


Update instruction

FOR SYSTEMD USERS HAVING STILL v231-1 INSTALLED, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE PACMAN, AS X-SESSION MIGHT GET LOST DUE THIS UPDATE. THEREFORE WE SUGGEST TO FOLLOW OUR UPDATE RECOMMENDATION . YOU CAN TRY IF FOLLOWING CMD MIGHT CRASH YOUR SYSTEM: sudo systemctl --system daemon-reexec

Check if your mirror has synced , then do the following steps to have a smooth update:

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring
sudo pacman -Su

Troubleshoots

Information for Catalyst users


If you are using an AMD card with Catalyst it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to use pacman for this update!!! The new style how Catalyst works now, would be this:

Catalyst-Utils needs now three new packages: catalyst-video, catalyst-input and catalyst-server.
Catalyst-Video provides some needed drivers like Intel and Vesa, since we have some hybrid systems too
Catalyst-Input provides the needed input drivers
Catalyst-Server provides the compatible Xorg-Server
Without these packages it would be not possible to still provide Catalyst at all. So it is logical to remove conflicting packages on these AMD systems. It can be tested with a new dev-build. If there are still issues regarding Catalyst, open an issue or a new thread, so we can discuss it.


Disable random mac address for your WLAN


Use nmcli to set 802-11-wireless.mac-address-randomization to never on a per connection basis or set

Code: Alles auswählen

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to disable the feature completely.


Issues with updating MATE

Some users have mate-menu installed from AUR. Please remove this package if you use the GTK2 version of MATE before trying to update. If you have a different issue with updating, please post.

LibreOffice and GTK3

LibreOffice might be broken on gtk-based Desktop Environments. Workaround would be to force a look to Libreoffice by editing /etc/profile.d/libreoffice*sh. We recommend to uncomment SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk. Our KDE edition isn't affected by this issue.

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

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo pacman -Sy vertex-maia-themes vertex-maia-icon-theme xcursor-maia
KDE users should default to Maia theme:

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo pacman -Sy maia-icon-theme gtk-theme-maia plasma5-themes-maia xcursor-maia

QT apps style with GTK - only needed for non-KDE desktop environments!

With QT 5.7 you need to install qt5-styleplugins and qt5ct and configure your system to have an unified look again.


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:

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo cp -v /usr/lib/ufw/user.rules.pacsave /etc/ufw/user.rules
sudo cp -v /usr/lib/ufw/user6.rules.pacsave /etc/ufw/user6.rules

steam

We support now several different steam-clients:

steam-manjaro: is our definition how steam should work on Manjaro.
steam-native: is our definition how steam should be used with our native libraries
steam: is the upstream client by Archlinux
steam-native-runtime: is the addon by upstream Archlinux to use native libraries
The clients by Manjaro are better tested and prefered for Manjaro Linux. However the upstream versions might also work for you.
