[Stable Update] 2021-07-13 - Kernels, Plasma 5.22, Cinnamon 5, Gnome 40, LibreOffice, Mesa, Nvidia, Pamac

Hi,

I uninstalled the package in order to continue with the installation

sudo pacman -R package-query

I guess I can reinstall it later.

Hello,
I’m using Gnome. After this update I got an issue where all extentions will turned off by the system if I logout and login again. Is it an known issue?

@kleinHeiti: Have you tried to enable the toggle for all the extensions in the Extensions applet/software (upper right in the window) ?

Yes, I did. After that, all extensions work again. But after logout and login again, They are all off again.

at first failed to upgrade because of cmake (for some reason failure caused due to files related to it already existing). I even tried using pamac and it has the same problem. so I removed it and it installed without problem.

Sadly, no, but I got exactly the same issue. I started a thread for that: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/opengl-and-opencl-not-working-anymore-after-ugrading-to-nvidia-470-42-01/
Maybe they are more Nvidia Users experiencing this issue.

Gnome 40 on stable. RIP maintainers when the notifications about broken extensions start coming in :joy:

Gnome 40 as itself is great by the way. I don’t use any extensions and it’s been really great on the testing branch :ok_hand:t2:

Also curious to see how many picked up on the fact that both the 470 nvidia drivers and that xwayland patch made it to stable :eyes:

After this update I experienced an issue with detecting my LUKS encrypted partition.
Here’s what I get:

ERROR: device /dev/Mapper/luks-7d5a56a8-c270-44d1 not found
Skipping fsck.
mount: /new_root: no filesystem type specified
Yu are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can’t access tty; job, control turned off
[rootfs ]#

I already tried chroot from a live usb distro and then re-running mkinitcpio.
Can this be related to /etc/fstab?

Another Gnome here, all went fine and that is what really counts. I am not using anything fancy and I have disabled all animations. The system uses only about 430mb. Puh! Very snappy. Geary, Gnome Web, really nice. Thanks!

No, Install plasma-desktop and accept the replacement, this way you don’t remove dependencies. I mean that is how I would go about that…

You aren’t using Intel VMD by chance are you?

Is Firefox 90.0 on the way to stable ?

Actually everything went well, the new gnome-shell is great!

But unfortunately isobuild doesn’t work anymore. I’ve started the topic ‘error while generating iso with buildiso’ in Software & Applications a view days ago, because i had already some trouble before the update generating an testing iso, a stable iso worked fine.
But now after updating my system buildiso doesn’t work at all, no matter which branch or desktop environment i try to generate.

Theme issue, It doesn’t follow the new Gnome/Adwaita changes. Report upstream to your theme author.

No, I’m not using VMD

Now that I remembered, PulseEffects, which was on my task bar became grayed out, while, apparently, it is no longer in the official repositories, only pulseeffects-legacy is there.
