This set of updates bumps kernels 3.16, 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14 (with the 4-series kernels including the KPTI patch). There’s a fix to the Xfce desktop settings that allows for correct setting of the session, and a TLP patch that should fix desktops being detected as laptops2.
I also need to say I’m very happy that Manjaro users are finding and reporting issues in upstream projects.
Please note that there is an update to archlinux32-keyring: you may need to install that first (or add it to SyncFirst in /etc/pacman.conf).

If you find manjaro32 useful please consider donating to, or helping out with, archlinux32. It’s a small team taking on a huge project and any help will no doubt be very much appreciated.
How do I get it?
These steps should no longer be necessary
If you’re already running a 32-bit installation, and haven’t already migrated, you should shortly get a manjaro-system update which will transition you to the new setup (it should automate the following steps).
Otherwise, edit your /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf and change (or set):
Branch = x32-stable
making sure there is no comment marker (#) at the start of the line. Then, update your mirror list, install the keyring package, and update:
pacman-mirrors -c all
pacman -Sy archlinux32-keyring-transition
pacman -S archlinux32-keyring
pacman -Syu
archlinux32-keyring-transition is signed by the Arch devs and allows you to install archlinux32-keyring which contains the keys that sign all archlinux32 packages.
archlinux32-keyring replaces archlinux32-keyring-transition.
What about package updates?
Manjaro-specific packages may lag behind x86_64 because there aren’t as many packagers. I may also trim the supported package list to save effort, depending on frequency of updates to packages and packagers who volunteer to help out. If you notice an important package is lagging please report it; at the moment it’s only me packaging for i686:
[manjaro32] Out-of-date Manjaro package report
Manjaro Development
Using manjaro32 and spotted an out-of-date Manjaro package? First, check the Manjaro GitHub sources for core, extra, and community. If it’s in the GitHub sources, it’s a Manjaro package. Alternatively, check the Arch package list to see whether the package is one likely to be built by archlinux32. If it’s a Manjaro package, and it’s out-of-date, report here.
I’m only packaging current LTS kernels. Any marked as EOL are dropped. I’ll not be building the mainline kernel.
What about security updates?
I cannot guarantee timely security updates on x32-stable. If this is critical for you I recommend you switch to x32-testing or cherry-pick those packages from x32-testing or x32-unstable as they become available.
What about installer images?
I’ll be looking into creating an Xfce installer. but have no plans to offer a full set of editions. I hope once manjaro32 is completely off-the-ground and proven the current maintainers might spin a 32-bit iso of their editions, but as this represents doubling the amount of work to prepare an edition the demand would have to be quite high to justify it.
What about x32-testing and x32-unstable?
These are already available, and I recommend you use x32-testing if you can to make sure testing is done.
After this point, x32-unstable should be regarded as untested and may break at any time, so should definitely be used by people who like finding and fixing problems.
