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

I have an issue after the update. I started my PC the next morning and the only thing that I see right now is a flickering underscore. If I try to switch to another tty I can see the terminal logon screen for a second and then the flickering underscore again. I am on Gnome Nvidia. EDIT: this happens if I choose Kernel 5.11 if I choose kernel 5.10 I see just my mouse cursor.

warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 37: directive 'TotalDownload' in section 'options' not recognized.

Is this option deprecated? Before update it gave no such warnings and worked fine. I’ve commented this option and the warnings has stopped.

I am in india. pamac update -a shows nothing to do. What can be the issue here or do I need to wait more?

I have had a strange happening after the updating on tty and rebooting, checked the apps were working rebooted with start menu, looked at ‘simple monitor’ widget and I was running on kernel LTS 5.12, uh how I had not changed yet from 5.10 that occasionally had complete system freeze up everything frozen so the idea that after updating would change that to kernel 5.12 seemed good idea, so yeah after rebooting 5.12 is already running in place of kernel 5.10,
How did that change without my doing ? :scream:
@nooks mentions weird behavior this is right up there in weird, saves me having to do that change-over of kernels, now please get out of my head dude, :smiley:
Thanks to @nl.smart, I keep forgetting to change my kick panel to Transparent, more to the point forget where that setting is.
Manjaro 10 years wow the next ten years will fly past even quicker
Congratulations very deserving to all the teams of people we never see
A BIG HUG :hugs: and A BIG THANK YOU ALL :gift_heart:

Manjaro mirrors in India are not synced yet. You have to wait a day or so…

Yeeiii! Finally we got gnome 40! Happy anniversary Manjaro! Huge update, everything seems to work fine, only some minor appearance issues including this huge spacing on the tray area using matcha themes:

I’ve tried to change it through the css of the theme (gnome-shell.css), it works but it’s not very “elegant”.

A post was split to a new topic: The shortcuts in my panel and desktop don’t work anymore

India mirror is last synced 177 hrs ago. Is this normal?

Thank you for update, I got new bug when using yakuake. Do you know how to fix that? It’s not critical but something I do not want to have :stuck_out_tongue: Please take a look at video, you will see something “blue” there.

It’s not. There is obviously something wrong. But can happen.
if pacman-mirrors --status does not output OK, you can wait a bit more, or switch to another mirror with
sudo pacman-mirrors -c <Name_Of_the_Country>
After that you need to update the database with
sudo pacman -Syyu

Hello @omano, sorry for the late reply.

I had/have version 10.1.x
Current version

$ pacman -Qs pamac-gtk
local/pamac-gtk 10.1.3-3
    A Package Manager based on libalpm with AUR and Appstream support

Previous version

$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ | grep pamac-gtk
pamac-gtk-10.1.2-0.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

P.S Update just came in for libpamac v.11.0.1-3. I will update and see if that fixes the issue.

EDIT: Fixed spelling mistake replay → reply :slight_smile:
EDIT2: Updated libpamac. The issue persists.

Hello there!

KDE user here. Overall, the update went great except for one annoying issue:
plasma stopped recognizing my HDMI as a sound card that goes through NVIDIA 2060.

To be honest it did not work ever before until the previous update. And now the problem is back again.

UPDATE:
found a solution after searching for hours. Just forced PulseAudio to use Nvidia HDMI card.
Add the following line to /etc/pulse/default.pa:

load-module module-alsa-sink device=plughw:<card#>,<device#>

(replace <card#>,<device#> with the specific hardware for your system such as 0,1) which you can get by running aplay -l

The one you showed I have disabled. I believe they are for windows not for panel.

Do you have Opacity options in Panel? I don’t.

On my private laptop the update went smoothly and Gnome is working fine.
On my work laptop on the other hand the screen went gray after the login to Gnome 40 and the laptop doesn’t react at all. I restored a timeshift backup. I will look at the differences between the laptop configs when I have more time.
What I can say: it does also not work with Gnome classic or Gnome on XOrg.

This is actually intentional (and for me works better than before). However there is a new option in System Tray Settings which allows you to choose panel icon size between “Small” and “Scale with Panel height”.

I needed this input. Thanks!

The option is present in Breeze theme. So I guess Manjaro theme should be rebased on newest Breeze.

Hi,

gqrx 2.14.4-1 doesn’t start anymore after updating soapysdr to 0.8.0-1 (dependency of gnuradio-osmosdr).

$ gqrx
gqrx: error while loading shared libraries: libSoapySDR.so.0.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Downgrading soapysdr to the previuos version 0.7.2-3 solved the problem at the moment.
