[Stable Update] 2021-01-19 - Kernels, XFCE, Plasma, PulseAudio, Pipewire, Mesa, Firefox, Thunderbird, KDE Apps

I’m using Hack 10 font in my gnome terminal and before update it was displaying all bold text, but now only display regular variant, anyway to fix it?

EDIT:
Just switched to Alacritty, all good now…

The command has only worked for me by removing Required By, and this is what I get back:

It seems to be required by libdbusmenu-qt4, which if I run the same command, it says it is required by sni-qt.

Finally, what sni returns

What would be the next step, what should I uninstall?

Well, since your language is Spanish, looks like the command would be:

pacman -Qi qt4 | grep "Exigido por"

It appears sni-qt is the culprit and is an orphan, so you can remove it and it’s dependencies recursively:

sudo pacman -Rs sni-qt

Tip: When pasting terminal output, highlight the text first, then use the Preformatted text </> button. I’ve done it for you this time. :wink:

Thank you, I just did what you said. The problem seems to be solved. Sorry about the text, next time I’ll get it right! :sweat_smile: :+1:

I’ve updated a few days ago and now I get this error:

The same with $ sudo pacman -Syyuu

Nvm, I’ve edited the mirrorlist with $ sudo pacman-mirrors -c all and all is good.

Phil, can you take a look to vte?

Terminal Emulator - "Select All" not working correctly after latest update - #2 by D.Dave

(sorry: I should have reply/ask here)

Shouldn’t this always work?
LANG=C pacman -Qi qt4 | grep "Required By"

Thanks, I removed it and restarted and everything work fine :wink:

Yes, indeed. However, I didn’t know the user had a different default system language until after the fact.

My update on my Intel Nuc 10i7FNH was not so well. After reboot my Gnome terminal was not working anymore and the local language was gone, so I had partly english and partly dutch and all looked strange. Wine-staging didnt run also because of that. So in Manjaro settings I could add the dutch language (no language was visible there at all) and after installing that and a few reboots somehow all the language translation is Dutch again thank God. Terminal works now and Wine also. So strange things happen in updates… BTW, I first tried using the XFCE terminal to at least do something, but that didnt fix the problem. I really had to install completely a new language in the Manjaro settings before everything worked.

I have screen tearing on the desktop since the update… (nvidia driver 460, kernel 5.4, KDE) Any idea? :frowning:

Even with the last update of Pulseaudio the problem of Pulseaudio still persists, forcing me to use Pavucontrol to select the sound output every time I turn on the PC

Yes, I too experienced the same. Changing the compositor to OpenGL 2.0 solved the problem for me. (Scale method: Accurate, Tearing Prevention “vsync”: Automatic)

After updating I noticed that while my Laptop is connected to the network, it can’t connect to the internet. while my phone is still able to use it. I don’t know what to do, so I wish someone here would guide me on how to solve it

EDIT: navigating the forum with phone wasn’t easy. After properly reading through the thread I find @mbb’s solution to downgrade the networkmanager package. it worked.

Why is Kernel 5.10 still shown with no Infos in Manjaro Settings Manager?
Is this Kernel still experimental or recommended or something between?

Btw. no issues after the last update… goodjob, i love Manjaro (I use Linux since 4 Month now after 27 Years Windows and you guys can count on a regular Donation :slight_smile:

As long as it’s not officially named LTS, it’s a normal kernel for now.
It will whange when next kernel 5.11 will go out.

You can update NM and then enable systemd-resolved service.

sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved

The reboot. See here.

Update went smoothly on KDE with 5.4 kernel.
My graphics hardware are :

inxi -G
Graphics:  Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] driver: N/A

I used to use these drivers :

mhwd -li

       video-linux            2018.05.04                true            PCI

After this update I have :

Warning: No installed USB configs!

Graphics hardware are a mystery to me, can someone explain me like I am 5 what are the changes for me ?
What should I expect ? Performance loss ? Battery time decrease ? Glitches ?
What should I monitor to see if everything goes fine in the next days ?

Thanks !

No, don’t skip them.
