Upgraded without any problem. But however when I upgraded my kernel to 5.8 the back port for mic doesn’t work. I had to revert back to kernel 5.7 to make the back port work.

Seems to work properly, thanks! Though, I haven’t been able to get audio working on 5.8…

If you use KOrganizer to sync with Google Calendar,the service Akonadi is unable to start because of the recent package MariaDB update.you need to downgrade to version 10.4.14-1 all 3 packages

mariadb-10.4.14-1-x86_64
mariadb-clients-10.4.14-1-x86_64
mariadb-libs-10.4.14-1-x86_64

If you have those packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ you can install them

Edit: Looks like now stable has the 10.4 version,or maybe i was confusing packages.

xps9550,linux419,KDE, update OK

The grub security flaw can also be exploited by anything having root rights, without physical access. In other words a privilege escalation vulnerability, which do happen again and again, could seriously compromise a machine.

Thank you for the clarification, @Rupert.

@philm - did I misunderstand you?

139

Same here, the account just got deleted and i had to re-register.

Also, any ETA on the firejail update yet? The currently available version breaks apparmor.

If dmesg shows no xhci_pci errors you are probably good to go.

Check lsusb to verify that your usb ports are there too.

Manjaro Stable KDE

Trying to change Nvidia driver through GUI from 440 to 450, got:

Error: pacman failed!
Error: script failed!

That was after update + reboot.

142

Thanks for the work. 2 machines, XFCE, no problem.

143

Did you remove 440 drivers first? You can’t just install the 450 drivers over the top of the 440 ones.

Addition to my previous post:

  • LibreOffice Draw (and siblings) crash when choosing a custom symbol for “listing and numbering”.
  • My custom view of Okular breaks: I don’t know how I exactly looked in the past, but I moved the “okular_part”-toolbar to the left and set all the actions “Hide text when toolbar shows the text next to the pictograms”. I’m forced to move it back to the default upper side, below the menu bar. It’s sad.

Still or Fresh?

Thanks for your answer. Maybe it should be reported directly to the Document Foundation?

Not sure, because it could also be a font config thingie. Despite I ran fc-config several times (forced, cache-cleaned forced, as sudo-root).

I hoped it didn’t occur at LibreOffice-Fresh 6.4.5.2, but it does.

Strangely enough, the problem is not reproducible when running LO-still and LO-fresh in safe mode and after resetting the user config back to “last known good config”

I diffed my config with a “last-good-config-recovery”-one with KDiff3 and WinMerge (unfortunately still the best open source diff tool).

But the most relevant of the differences are binary files.

OMG WHHHHYYYY WHHHHYYYYYY NOT READABLE AND DIFFABLE XML OR JSON GODDAMMIT

Resetting the config means the loss of my custom toolbars et al, which is a pain.

When I’ve more time, I’ll file two bugs:

  1. Segmental export of settings (like custom toolbars).
  2. The custom symbol for listings and numbering.
