This is more or less a smaller update. We restored the Nvidia 370.23 in our testing branch. Firefox got updated to version 48.0.2 and some python packages got updated. Also we finished our Calamares installer.
The focus of the Calamares 2.4 development cycle was fixing bugs and polishing existing functionality, including locales management and partitioning, but we’re also shipping an all-new package selection module.
Highlights of this release include:
added support for reusing an existing /home partition if detected in the /etc/fstab file of an already installed operating system;
new netinstall module which offers a choice of packages to install;
rewritten large portions of the locale module, with new locale and timezone autodetection functionality and smarter management of locale.conf values;
added support for an already mounted loop filesystem as source for the unpackfs operation;
improved handling of partition colors in the partitioning interfacewhen operating on logical partitions;
fixed a user name validation issue which could in some specific situations cause a failed installation;
improved defaults in several configuration files;
improved bootloader deployment on EFI systems with an existing EFI system partition;
countless other bug fixes.
We recommend to use manjaro-tools 0.12.4 with manjaro-live 20160731 in combination. Matching ISO-Profils you may find in our 16.08-preX branch. Master-Branch is not recommend to use with the calamares package. Therefore only the calamares-dev package currently works.
Archlinux upstream fixes are now from: Thu Aug 25 08:46 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
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
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.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
