All worked without any issues for me, running Cinnamon and Kernel 5.10. Now my dropbox plugin in nemo works good again, prob thanks to the glib2 update. Thank you!

I totally forgot KDE was getting an upgrade and when I logged back in I was very surprised to see how it looked flawless update for me. I’m using kernel 5.9.16-1

[muvvenby]

I’m getting this warning/error when trying to upgrade. Any advice how to proceed?

[KDE]

every thing is working fine
but wifi gets turned off automatically when i close my laptop lid, it didn’t use to happen before the update
[EDIT]: Problem got fixed for my system on going back to lts kernel everything works great now

otherwise everything is fine and i am loving it but menu will take some time to get used to

[linub]

i updated through Pamac and it failed to update optimus-manager and optimus-manager-qt.
when i refresh the Database it tries to build both of them from the AUR,but my optimus-manager is from the official repository,and i clicked apply by mistake,but it failed anyway.
how do i update both?
i made a thread with pics: Failed to update optimus-manager and optimus-manager-qt

also after the update there was no reboot option in the application launcher so i had to do it through the terminal.

Edit:
i just checked the journal log and i have ;
Process 1643 (pipewire-media-) of user 1000 dumped core.
errors,that i never got before and looking at the original post it seems related to pulse effect,but i don’t have it installed.(i have pipewire installed)

[dandansoysauce]

Hi,

I encountered this problem as well. What I did was I ignored these 3 libraries - lib32-libelf, lib32-llvm-libs and llvm-libs.

I don’t know what other ways to get past this, but it worked for me.

Mesa-git from the official repo also conflicts with the AUR version. When you search for the AUR version, it shows that it’s installed. When you build the AUR version, it won’t update because pamac will show that the official repo is installed.

** need to downgrade xfce4-power-manger to 1.6.6**

Have you meant xfce4-power-manager? If yes, have you really downgraded it to its 1.6.6 version?
Or is this a different package?
Thanks!

[Rick]

Thanks @stephane !

[sterilegenie]

Everything is working like a charm.

[muvvenby]

Two questions:

1. how do you ignore those packages and install the rest? Never mind, read the man page, found the --ignore switch
2. any way to figure out how mesa-git got installed? I only ever do stable updates, so I guess some other package must have installed it.
3. bonus question: should I uninstall mesa-git and install mesa?

[edit: just checked, mesa-git got installed from the official repos, not through the AUR]

Firefox 86.0-0.1 and 86.0-1 fail to start but Firefox 85 works fine. Xfce on 5.10 and 5.04. Get this output followed by the Mozilla crash reporter:

cinnamon, 5.4rt, allis well great job as usual, Thank You!

[Yochanan]

@DryDog

86.0-1 fail to start

I can’t reproduce it, but there is an open Arch bug report: FS#69821 : [firefox-86.0-1] Crashes on start

EDIT: Fixed with 86.0-2 and pushed to all branches.

[Fabby]

@Fabian

Not sure if this is the right place for that complaint, but the new KDE start menu is now

The Manjaro team just takes whatever from the KDE devs, so better file a bug upstream

If you don’t know what “upstream” actually means, please read this:

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the trees for the wood any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking: Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

@jjd

still on 5.9.16 which is marked EOL

So upgrade to 5.4 LTS (Long Time Support) or 5.10 LTS (whichever works)

[Fabby]

Execute:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

if it gives x11, take option 2 ( glfw-x11)

This update broke screen casting in gnome wayland.
I downgraded pipewire (1:0.3.22-1 → 1:0.3.21-1) and got working.

Hi,
with this update, this bug is still present:

Can't open external links in gtk applications

Hi, I can’t open the links in the browser when there is a link in gtk applications. Step to treproduce: open a gtk3 or gtk2 application ( for example pamac, liferea and lxtask in my case) open a link (for example the source of a feed or the official site’s application or the lxde site in the help–about menu of lxtasks) in the external browser by clicking on it. it will be opened a new, blank browser instance instead the link The problem doesn’t occurs with qt applications (in my case , vlc …

This solution doesn’t work:

[Stable Update] 2021-02-19 - Kernels, AMDVLK, Palemoon, Firefox-dev, Firefox, Haskell, Python

Hi @salome, I use KDE, but I’ve just installed lxtask to test this and mine works flawlessly. Are you sure you default browser is set correctly? Or it might be a MIME type association. Unfortunately, I don’t know where else to check or/and test. Hope this helps. Edit: Accoring to this page: Alternate way is to add the following line export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox to your ~/.bashrc So, assuming you use ZSH, the command to make that permanent would be: $ echo "export BROWSER=<director…

Can someone help me? I think I have to downgrade something, but I don’t know what exactly. @philm Is there a specific package related to the opening of externals links in GTK?
