[Stable Update] 2021-06-14 - Kernels, Browsers, Mesa, Deepin, Systemd, Gnome Apps 40.2, Pipewire, Haskell

are there official mirrors held by the distribution maintainers/creators?

As far as I know, these two:

https://mirrors.fossho.st/manjaro/
https://mirrors.manjaro.org/repo/

(well, not operated by manjaro I guess. Fosshost and some CDN provider, but they are closest to be considered “trusted” I’d say)

We only maintain this CDN network with our partner CDN77: https://mirrors.manjaro.org/repo/ We have about 42 mirrors all over the globe on 6 continents. @linub fosshost is syncing normally as any other mirror we have too.

No, manjaro-system is doing it for you automatically. We only want to be very transparent in how we deal with the issue and what the issue actually is.

Thank you very much! After many update-grub tries, this finally worked!

Thank you for all the work. I had to move to 5.13 this morning because of the kernel panic but seeing that you fixed the issue is awesome!

Updating in the bare console (Ctrl-Alt-F2), I doubt that this is affected.

How do I know what system I use? Silly as it neems…I can get to any info except the system number.
I run 4.19 and that one fails to boot up in a certain system…
Thanks

We don’t test all kernel series. See also here. I might find time to do a git-bisect this week to see what changed on 4.19 kernel series and why it won’t boot on v248 systemd. Please use a different kernel like linux414 or linux510.

Perfectly super. I just wanted to prepare for the update, I always do that:

  • read up
  • read the forum post
  • make a snapshot
  • make backups
  • do the upgrade in a console (Ctrl-Alt-F2)
    I love Manjaro.

Eh, it’s okay, I need to tweak the kernels anyway. Still have to clean the 5.9 off as well. Let me read up on which one of the suggestions is the best for me :slight_smile:
Just happy I know beforehand so I can make arrangements :wink:
Be well, be safe…
Lov’ ya

I’d say if you regard stability, linux-510 would be your best bet. :slightly_smiling_face:

what about 5.12?

For me the security risk looks like it is related to ARM, maybe im wrong… but ARM is for Smartphone’s right? I don’t see any relations to a Manjaro PC OS.

5.12 is the latest stable, whereas 5.10 is the latest LTS. That’s why the suggestion was made. Context. :wink:

I got it :slight_smile:
But i didn’t face with some troubles in 5.12, that’s why i asked about 5.12

isn’t x86_64 architecture, “regular” manjaro?

“Installations of the pre-built Manjaro ARM images previous to 21.06 or
Manjaro x86_64 ISOs previous to 21.0.6 can be tricked into installing
maliciously signed packages by a network attacker, leading to code
execution as root.”

because the names are too similar maybe?

I gave kernel 5.10 a go and it ran properly. Then I ran these updates, and now it doesn’t boot. I see the boot scroll messages (I don’t like silent grub) and then it gets stuck in a black screen and I don’t even see LightDM. Ctrl Alt F* does nothing. I uncommented the lz4 option mentioned earlier in the thread but I’m not even sure that matters in this context.

5.4 still works.

Just use the kernel which works for you @Cheker. I only saw that linux419 won’t boot with systemd …

The ones declared “LTS” and “recommended” you should … hm?
