Manjaro 24.0 Wynsdey released

[BG405]

One observation: only a small percentage of the checksum links (in this thread) have been clicked versus the .ISO links …

[Yochanan]

Folks, comments in the thread should be about feedback regarding the ISOs and fresh installs, not updating from existing installs. I’ve had to move multiple replies to the proper Stable Updates thread.

[BG405]

Fresh install in my case is the Manjaro GNOME .ISO in VirtualBox. Works well so far with my experimentation/testing. I didn’t install an office suite or a few other things I won’t need for VB testing.

The only issue I’ve had is I found it locks up after a while in (U)EFI mode but that seemingly isn’t a Manjaro issue rather a VirtualBox problem (same thing happens with EndeavourOS and Manjaro KDE).

Also my issue of being a Gnome “Virgin” and as yet have no idea how to find my way around it! Totally alien to me. (Installed it to see if might be useful for “helping” on here).

@Ben

Was there any deeper thinking behind the name Wynsdey than a mis-spelling of the day you thought of it?

@anton6613

All I could find was that in Star Trek

You will be quite surprised checking all previous Manjaro versions names…

[Ben]

@LordTermor

checking all previous Manjaro versions names…

Haha @anton6613 hit the nail on the head - that’s funny.

[soundofthunder]

@Ben

that’s funny.

Wasn’t “Vulcan” a dead giveaway?

LLAP...

On old laptop [i3] with 390 nvidia driver (you select proprietary install) and ui is crashing post pilgrim, I mean Plymouth. But this has already been the case after the previous iso, and possibly before, I will post about this once I’ll find the time to test (on linux 69 (now) and linux 66).

Hint: Kernel updates/upgrade-install from previous iso’s seem to be running with those newer kernels on nvidia-390.
I suppose theres something different now with mhwd.

Just got stuck in a kde5>6 dependency cycle so I could not get uptodate from an oct or nov 23 iso. will test next with the xmas iso.

So I managed to get up-to-date and running nvidia-390 with Plasma 6 [and even Wayland (but only @480p)] with kernels 61, 65, 66, 69.

The last and only iso I could do it with was manjaro-kde-23.0.4-231015-linux65.iso

The ones before it might be doable, but you run into dependency-cycle issues with plasma5>plasma6 packages on pamac/pacman.

The ones after, the isos came with linux66 or newer and proprietary installs (my graphics card is NVIDIA GF119M [GeForce 410M]) would not boot past the logo on the 66+ kernels.

As this might be scaring off “new users on older hardware” I believe this is useful info for devs here.
There must have been some changes in either Calamares, or possibly Mhwd from the 23.0.4 to the 23.1.0 release! Sddm I don’t think is an issue as I selected auto-login on boot in Calamares.

As this is not only concerning this Wynsdey release I can provide info in the thread I opened here for the issue: Nvidia 390 not working with kernel 66 on new install?

Btw, where can I find the plasma-to-defaults.sh script kindly provided by @linux-aarhus ?

[cscs]

They have all been celestial bodies. Planets. And stars in some cases I think?
( in the Star Trek universe )

[soundofthunder]

Vulcan, in particular; both a planet (homeworld of Spock) and part of the Star Trek Universe. Some little-known trivia is that Vulcan was once thought to be an actual planet (or planetesimal) within our own non-fictional star system; a hypothetical planet claimed to have been discovered in orbit between Sol and Mercury (though never rediscovered or confirmed). Here’s another fun fact.

Linux distribution code names have always amused me. In particular, Debian, with it’s “Toy Story” theme. I’m still waiting for any distribution to choose “Wascally Wabbit” as a code name.

[anton6613]

Trouble? Why, I think Grand Nagus Zek would make a fine name for a release.

It was a long time since I had installed Manjaro. I decided to reinstall it on my old desktop, since it was a bit of a mess.

I used the default installer with manual partitioning, since I use a bunch of lvm volumes and wanted to keep the layout.

Everything went fine, first boost froze, maybe something related to Wayland, I don’t know (I use X11). Changed tty, terminated the session, installed some more packages I needed, rebooted and everything seems to be working fine.

Thank you very much to the team and keep the good work.

Oh, I changed the kernel to 6.6, but 6.9 was working fine

HI , how did you make the taskbar’s “current running apps” look like that? I mean like, with the name displaying and all
I am on KDE myself and would like to change to that. Here’s a screenshot of my taskbar setup

Right click on free space of your panel and choose another alternative.

thanks so much, good sir!

@anton6613

All I could find was that in Star Trek, Wynsdey III was the third inhabited planet of the Memory Alpha system. It was however only mentioned during writing.

It seems Wynsdey III is quite obscure in Star Trek lore.

[soundofthunder]

@vratarneli7

It seems Wynsdey III is quite obscure in Star Trek lore.

I suppose it’s understandable that the reference is so obscure:

• Wynsdey III

Wynsdey III was the inhabited third planet in its system. This planet was home to the Adams Research Group, which was credited with developing the fissionable explosive plutonium ryanite.

This planet was only mentioned in writing.

For the remastered episode “Night Terrors”, the list of explosives was revised. This planet was mentioned in one of the new entries.

Despite it’s obscurity, I imagine it was considered vital for the particular episode; at least from the perspective of whoever write it. If I’m reading the trivia correctly, Wyndney didn’t actually make it to the finished episode.
