I am on Manjaro Gnome, why was there a switch to a system wide dark mode? In some applications like Firefox this is actually nice, but Evolution does not handle it well.
Also has someone a fix for bluetooth, I am using bluetooth headphones and not being able to connect them anymore is a terrible problem!
Manjaro Openbox here. Update broke my custom conkys, but with after converting the scripts all went fine. For the users with the same issue, please read the dedicated post in this thread!
Thank you guys at Manjaro: great work!
The updates went very well on my desk top that has MSI X470 gaming plus motherboard and AMD Ryzen 5 2400G APU. Manjaro XFCE is on 250GB SSD. System seems smooth and fast. Thanks again to all the Manjaro team.
I had something similar on the early 5.7 series. My fix was to move to testing branch and to 5.8, now 5.8.1 on testing. Not sure if it was just the kernel, but that solved the issue. Your milage may vary though…
Just did the update on Gnome, 5.7 kernel, nvidia 440 drivers. Everything is working great (aside from the known issues with NVENC mentioned in posts above).
The update requested me to remove nvidia-xrun. Now when I want to install the package, it wants me to change the kernel to a newer version. I am on 4.9 because the higher version caused random freezes from time to time.
While the update itself went completely fine, switching to linux58 introduced a rather strange issue relating audio. I have an onboard Realtek ALC1220 sound card and there’s an amp hooked up to the front speaker analog output. Now, if I turn on my computer with the amp being turned off, all of my analog outputs are gone from the audio mixer in KDE and there’s nothing else to choose from the drop down menu but the unused digital output. Reverting back to linux57 or turning on the amp during boot and running “pulseaudio --kill” upon logging into KDE seems to temporarily resolve the issue. The strangest part is that even if the analog output doesn’t show up and none of the applications are able to produce any sound (Firefox, SMPlayer, etc.), my trusty old pal deadbeef is acting as if nothing happened and plays any music I throw at it as it’s using its own ALSA output plugin.
Upgrade went ok.
KDE, i5-4670, cpu gfx, kernel 5.4
I noticed one problem, though. When I open the context menu in Dolphin on a media file, e.g. an mp3 file, and select MediaInfo, the MediaInfo application opens as expected, but it does not display any information. If I drag and drop the mp3 file into the opened window, it will display the expected information. Can someone else confirm this? Is it a Manjaro or a KDE problem?
Hmm, I closed Dolphin, started it and tried it again and now it’s working. Weird.
I’ll check again after my next reboot. (I had rebooted several times after the upgrade. Anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?
Openbox user here ! Update was fine, except for the Conkies. But this was resolved easily with the above solution. At the occasion, i have switched from LTS kernel to the new 5.8
