[Stable Update] 2021-02-09 - Kernels, Gnome 40-Alpha, KDE Apps 20.12.2, Systemd, Mesa, LibreOffice

Doesn’t this update contain the upgrade to “Gnome 40”? Looking at my machine after the update, I see:

DE: GNOME 3.38.3

Did mine not update correctly? Thanks in advance to everyone for your time and help, it is greatly appreciated!

All good here:
XFCE + linux510 + LUKS/BTRFS

Problems with audio. Front speaker is detected, rear speaker missing. They used to work before update.

Gnome 40 is development version.

The update was flawless!!!
Updated from terminal and rebooted afterwards.
(xfce - kernel 5.10)

Thank you Manjaro Team!!!

I just reinstalled Xfce today after a long break and found this ugly blue thing as the icon for “Show Desktop”. I don’t know if it looked like this before the update, since I just reinstalled Xfce today. But to me, this blue icon doesn’t seem like it’s intentional. At least I remember it used to look monochrome to match the other icons in the tray.

Thank’s to the manjaro-team :grinning:

The icon was green before, but I think it’s not a UI bug or so

It seems several icons were updated, and look out of place after the update.

  1. Thunar
  2. Nautilus
  3. Show desktop

Thunar does not necessarily have to resemble a hammer, and GNOME files (Nautilus) does not necessarily have to resemble a “file”. This icon worked very well for both.

Since heavily used programs in multiple DEs are affected, can the Manjaro devs talk with the Papirus devs to fix the issue? The Papirus devs may not entertain requests by individual users, but if the project leaders talk together, they may easily reach a solution that works for everyone.

Just one minor problem with Apache.
modules/libphp7.so has been renamed modules/libphp.so
conf/extra/php7_module.conf has been renamed conf/extra/php_module.conf

Fixable with a quick edit to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Just booted with the 5.11-rc6 kernel after updating. Everything seems ok, I’ll edit if I notice anything off.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Updated 4 laptops and 2 PCs with Intel and AMD video, Cinnamon DE, kernel 5.10, all via TTY. Everything’s hunky dory!

Is there a safe way to replace pulseaudio with pipewire in this update?

I had a problem with this update. This is the error message:

no se pudieron satisfacer las dependencias:
- incapaz de satisfacer la dependencia "fluidsynth=2.1.7" requerida por lib32-fluidsynth
- incapaz de satisfacer la dependencia "libinstpatch=1.1.6" requerida por lib32-libinstpatch
- incapaz de satisfacer la dependencia "libinstpatch=1.1.6" requerida por lib32-libinstpatch
- incapaz de satisfacer la dependencia "libplacebo.so=104-64" requerida por mpv

What should I do to fix it? :sleepy:

EDIT 2: I reinstalled libplacebo and I deleted MPV. But the problem persists…

GNOME - Update went smoothly but GNOME Terminal won’t launch. I follow the guide from @Felukah and it worked. Just I had to remove (not do) step 3.

The new Papirus icons are UGLY (especially the Nautilus and Terminal ones)! Massive let down for me.

Also Telegram seems to have bugged shadow - white border / outline around the application.

gnome-terminal isn’t starting. removed and reinstalled it from pamac. Not working. Any solution?
EDIT: FIX -
install “xterm” from pamac.
edit /etc/locale.gen.
uncomment - en_US.UTF8
Then run: sudo locale-gen from xterm

Something funky with locale indeed, I have en_US.UTF-8 & nl_NL.UTF-8 installed.

For some reason after glibc update this happens:

Upgrading glibc (2.32-5 -> 2.33-3)...
Generating locales...
  de_DE.UTF-8... done
  en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Upgrading gcc-libs (10.2.0-4 -> 10.2.0-6)...

Then further down:

  -> Running build hook: [keymap]
/etc/locale.conf: line 2: warning: setlocale: LC_NUMERIC: cannot change locale (nl_NL.UTF-8)
/etc/locale.conf: line 3: warning: setlocale: LC_TIME: cannot change locale (nl_NL.UTF-8)
  -> Running build hook: [plymouth]
$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=nl_NL.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=nl_NL.UTF-8

changing de_DE.UTF-8 to #de_DE.UTF-8 and #nl_NL.UTF-8 to nl_NL.UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen & running $ sudo locale-gen solves this issue.

This seems wrong tho:

$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.utf8
