Some might have noticed, that our kernel maintainer team has grown. With it a new effort resulted. Manjaro offers now also some RT-Kernels. Budiman Jojo, who is using Manjaro for his music work tuned with help of Bernhard Landauer or stock kernels and prepared our twist to it. We offer now two new kernel series, one based on 4.4, the other on 4.6+. Check out Budiman's comparement to stock kernels you currently find in Manjaro:

Well, that is not all what is coming to you with this update! Systemd got bumped to v231 and offers some new features. Python gained also some new packages and we worked on MSM to support our new realtime kernels also from our graphical management tool. Marcus went ahead and implement some custom modules to turn Calamares to a real network installer, which might offer soon some new install medias for Manjaro Linux. More on that topic with coming updates. And last but not least, Rob found some time to work again on our compiz packages.
Archlinux upstream fixes are now from: Mon Aug 01 17:37 CEST 2016.
Please report any issues you may have with this update. Also read our troubleshoots to avoid known issues. Additional it would be good to test one of our preview install medias to check these changes on a fresh install.
Kind regards,
Philip Müller and the Manjaro Development Team
Troubleshoots
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
You can install it with:
Code: Alles auswählen
sudo pacman -Sy vertex-maia-themes vertex-maia-icon-theme xcursor-maia
Code: Alles auswählen
sudo pacman -Sy maia-icon-theme gtk-theme-maia plasma5-themes-maia xcursor-maia
With QT 5.7 you need to install qt5-styleplugins and qt5ct and configure your system to have an unified look again (If you use applications with root-rights, do the same for your root user) .
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.rulessteam
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
