2019-07-03 - Kernels, Systemd, Pamac 8.0, KDE, XFCE, Browser, QT (Stable Update)
Verfasst: Mittwoch 3. Juli 2019, 13:12
Hello community,
I am happy to announce another Stable Update.
Stay tuned for the cooperation we started with Tuxedo Computers!
Some might noticed that since the #snapcraftsummit a lot of package changes went into Manjaro and our available RCs. XFCE and Gnome will come with Gnome-Software and our KDE edition has Discover, both with snap support enabled.
This way everybody can easily access the snap store by a click and don't has to hassle to get snaps enabled. This enables us to ship even more proprietary software, which we couldn't before. For example check out on how you may install Spotify on Manjaro.
This update holds the following changes:
most of our Kernels got updated. Some of them got already built with gcc 9.1. All EOL kernels got removed!
KDE Plasma is now at 5.16.2
Nvidia driver got update to 430.26
Mesa is now at 19.1.1
Texlive got it's first 2019 update
apparmor got his own profiles package, which ships those in complain mode.
Kodi got updated to 18.3
Systemd gained more stable patches. Report any issues you may have with it.
Pamac is now at its v8.0 release series
updates to XFCE 4.14-pre2
amdvlk got updated to its latest release
more updates to our KDE-Git branch
Octopi gained more features and fixes
Firefox-Dev and Thunderbird got updated
usual Haskell and Python updates
Manjaro Juhraya ISOs got updated, including snap support pre-activated: XFCE, KDE , Gnome
Give us the usual feedback and let us know what you think about this update.

Warning: audit: directory permissions differ on /var/log/audit/filesystem: 755 package: 700
Execute sudo chmod 700 /var/log/audit/ in terminal
XFCE 4.14-pre2 : I do not see XFCE 4.14-pre2 in the repositories!?
You won't see explicitly 4.14-pre2 anywhere on our xfce-gtk3 packages. We follow the versioning used by upstream. Here's the list of all components 2 that are part of XFCE 4.14-pre2.
Kvantum theme reset
If you are using the Matcha theme in kvantum you may experience a theme reset. Simply install kvantum-theme-matcha if not happend yet and select the new provided variants. Manjaro 18.1 releases will ship with the new themes by default.
mariadb 10.4.x update requires manual intervention
(Source: https://www.archlinux.org/news/mariadb- ... ervention/ 2 , 2019-06-27, by Christian Hesse)
The update to mariadb 10.4.6-1 and later changes configuration layout as recommended by upstream.
The main configuration file moved from /etc/mysql/my.cnf (and its include directory /etc/mysql/my.cnf.d/ ) to /etc/my.cnf (and /etc/my.cnf.d/ ). Make sure to move your configuration.
Instantiated services (like mariadb@foo.service ) are no longer configured in separate files (like /etc/mysql/myfoo.cnf ). Instead move your configuration to configuration blocks with group suffix in main configuration file, one for each service. A block should look something like this:
[mysqld.foo]
datadir = /var/lib/mysql-foo
socket = /run/mysqld/mysqld-foo.sock
...
Like every mariadb feature update this requires the data directory to be updated. With the new configuration in place run:
systemctl restart mariadb.service && mariadb-upgrade -u root -p
Some KDE System Settings may have been re-set to their defaults
System Settings > Input Devices > Touchpad > Tap-to-click
Scrolling
The compositor could get disabled during the upgrade which will stop all of the KDE eye-candy
Issues with Octopi
Currently several users report different issues 3 for Octopi. So if you encounter some of them, you may switch to pamac for now: sudo pacman -Syu pamac
(Note that sudo pacman -Syu pamac will both install Pamac and upgrade all upgradable packages on your system at the same time.)
Issues with DisplayCAL
DisplayCAL 3.8.1.1 - Missing python2-dbus causes failure to launch application.
Solution - Install the python2-dbus package for now. Version 3.8.2 fixes the dependency error. As and when DisplayCAL 3.8.2 reaches stable branch you can remove python2-dbus as it does not require it. Only remove python2-dbus again if you installed it specifically for DisplayCAL.
