2016-09-20 - Linux 4.8, KDE Framework 5.26, Gambas3, Mesa, Octop (Stable Update)

[Blueriver]

Hi community,

one week passed and we have the next update-pack for you. We have now also the latest KDE Framework 5.26 added. Kernel v4.8 got introduced with its sixth release candidate, php, haskell and gambas3 updated to their latest versions and some work went into our tools. Additionally we fixed some issues in Octopi, Pamac and updated our manjaro-tools to 0.13.x series. Please contact our dev-team if you have issues on creating Manjaro Spins with this new tool set.

Archlinux upstream fixes are now from: Tue Sep 20 07:22 CEST 2016.

Please report any issues you may have with this update. Also read our troubleshoots to avoid known issues. A detailed list of package changes can be found here.

Kind regards,
Philip Müller and the Manjaro Development Team


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

Steam might not work due incompatiblity of libgpg. You my try followed command to "fix" it:

Code: Alles auswählen

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

Code: Alles auswählen

find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

Bis auf ein kleines Problem mit Virtualbox alles im grünen Bereich


Lösung:
Extension Pack entfernen, neu herunterladen und wieder installieren.

Habe zuerst meinen heiklen Desktoprechner sorgfältig gesichert und dann geupdatet - alles gut. Morgen kommt der Laptop dran. Eine kleine Verbesserung habe ich sofort bemerkt: Ich kann den Dateimanager PCManFM-qt wieder mit einer Tastenkombi Strg+h dazu bringen, die versteckten Dateien anzuzeigen oder wegzutarnen. Das ging bisher nicht.

Kernel 4.8 zwar installiert aber wird nicht genutzt und auch nicht auswählbar beim Starten des Systems?? Wie geht das?

[Blueriver]

Gib mal im Terminal

Code: Alles auswählen

sudo update-grub

ein.

Neu starten, dann sollte der Kernel auswählbar sein.

Klappt nun, Danke. Problem war, das Ich ja auch Linux Mint  noch auf dem Rechner habe. Mint gestartet, da Grub Costumizer aufgerufen und da war Manjaro Kernel 4.8....Neustart und läuft.
