Hello community,

I am happy to announce another Stable Update. Mostly we have XFCE, Kernels and Haskell updates with this one.

Addition of FreeOffice
On Manjaro 18.1-rc6 ISOs we ship FreeOffice by default. This is possible since we partnered up with Softmaker. Enjoy the best compability to MS Office!
If you like more a spartan version shipping only the desktop environment and systemd tools, please choose our Minimal-ISOs. On the final release we plan to make the office suite selectable during installation. Learn more about FreeOffice here.

Manjaro Hardware
With the new Premium BIOS, you have the opportunity to make various profiles for chipset-specific settings and components in order to be able to operate the device optimally depending on the application on Tuxedo hardware. Find out more here and stay tuned for the announcement of our new Manjaro Laptop we will launch together.

Support of Snap packages (only on full ISOs)
Some might noticed that since the #snapcraftsummit a lot of package changes went into Manjaro and our available RCs. XFCE, Gnome and KDE edition will come with fpakman, so managing snaps and flatpaks is easy. To learn more go here.

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.

Pango doesn't support bitmap fonts anymore
Applications that use Pango and that are configured to use bitmap fonts now only show rectangles instead of characters. This affects popular terminal emulator setups, because many people use fonts like Terminus in applications like GNOME Terminal. We recommend to switch fonts or downgrade pango.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386


Asian/CJK characters display as blocks
Install noto-fonts-cjk or another font of your choice. The problem seems related to a ttf-droid update.

libbloom>=1.6-2 update requires manual intervention
(Taken from Arch Linux website, 2019-07-11 by Felix Yan. Source: https://www.archlinux.org/news/libbloom ... ervention/)

The libbloom package prior to version 1.6-2 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 1.6-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked soname link created by ldconfig. If you get an error

libbloom: /usr/lib/libbloom.so.1 exists in filesystem

when updating, use

pacman -Suy --overwrite /usr/lib/libbloom.so.1

to perform the upgrade.

Skype funktioniert nicht mehr. Ich habe das herecura repo eingebunden und seit einigen Jahren Skype preview installiert gehabt. Seit dem letzten Update startet es nicht mehr. Auch wenn ich im Terminal

Code: Alles auswählen

skypeforlinux %U
eingebe oder

Code: Alles auswählen

skypeforlinux
passiert nichts. Es gibt keinerlei Meldungen. Laut KSysGuard ist auch kein Skype gestartet.
Laut octopi ist skypeforlinux-stable installiert. Auch eine Neuinstallation hat nicht geholfen.
