Verfasst: Sonntag 2. Dezember 2018, 18:51
Hi community,
Welcome to another stable update. This is again a huge one and we recommend to do it within a TTY via pamac upgrade or sudo pacman -Syyu.
So what do we have with this one?
We updated most of our Kernels
Worked on a regression with Virtualbox and Pamac
Thunderbird is now at 60.3.2
Texlive got newer packages and regular package-cleanups were done
We updated Mesa to 18.2.6
Firefox is now at its 14th beta release of v64 development series
We updated Plasma to 5.14.4
Newer packages got added to Cinnamon, Gnome, Deepin and XFCE
Vulkan got a refresh
We updated Systemd to it’s latest stable-snapshot.
The linux-firmware got updated to 20181026.1cb4e51-1
Nvidia driver got updated again to 415.18
Lots of python and haskell updates. Most packages are rebuilds due to the BUILDINFO rebuild
We hope with all these changes Manjaro to be more efficient for you all.
#bladebook - shipping to Germany this Winter!
Currently we are working on a new Manjaro-Hardware project, the #bladebook. It will be powered by Manjaro KDE v18.0 and the latest Intel Apollo Lake Quad-Core HD APU. Having a fanless metal material (cassis gold-rose), a eMMC as storage (additional M2-SSD possible) and will have a long battery life. You can now order your #bladebook when you live in Switzerland or Germany. We are currently in preparation to ship to more european countries and the states. Find out more on our hardware page or the shop.
Manjaro v18.0.1 RC1 released!
If you are curious about the latest Manjaro-Illyria 18.0.1 release, you now have the opportunity to download XFCE Edition with the latest 4.13 packages, aswell as our most recent styling efforts. Our KDE fans may try our KDE Edition with the latest KDE v5.14 instead. And our GNOME fans may try our Gnome Edition with the latest GNOME v3.30.

When checking for updates, Pamac (GUI) freeze at a certain percentage.
Devs are aware of this problem.
Fortunately, this problem doesn’t happens everytime. If you have the patience to kill the process each time Pamac freezes, eventually, you should be able to get through the process and be able to apply updates.
As far as we know, Pamac CLI doesn’t seems to be affected by this problem at all.
" we recommend to do it within a TTY via pamac upgrade or sudo pacman -Syyu ." How do I do that more precisely?
Press CTRL+ALT+F2 (or F3, F4, F5, F6) to go into a pure command line interface.
Log in with your credentials.
Once logged in, you’ll have access to a CLI shell, like if you were using a terminal. Use pamac upgrade or sudo pacman -Syyu (or other equivalent command) to update your system.
To go back to your regular desktop, press CTRL+ALT+F7.
