this update is more or less the move back to Archlinux Mate-Upstream packages. It took a while for Arch to pick them up. Since upstream is again maintaining Mate, it makes not so much sense to do double work from our end.
TeXLive packages have been updated to the 2016 version. The most notable change is that the biber utility is now provided as a separate package. You can install it normally using pacman. Pacman hooks are now used in the TeXLive packages so the update will be less verbose than in past years.
Also we moved our Netbook-Kernel up a notch and updated it to v4.4 kernel series and Lumina-Desktop sees its first stable release.
Archlinux upstream fixes are now from: Wed Aug 10 07:20 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
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
