[Stable Update] 2021-07-28 - Kernels, Plasma 5.22.4, Systemd, Cinnamon, Firefox, LibreOffice

So all of us who are on the testing branch are not getting this update? Is plasma 5.23 coming so they rather wait?

Please go to settings → kernel and install kernel 510. After that you can uninstall kernel 59 and should be good to go.

I noticed the same in GNOME for my wired connection. This could be a network manager issue.

I can confirm. Using Realtek Ethernet Controller and kernel 5.13.

GDM got nuked with this update plus a weird bug, I have to sudo to start chromium.

Not for me. What does that mean?

Do NOT start user apps with sudo.

Please open your own #support topic for help.

Yes, we know manjaro.org is having issues. This is not related to the stable update. Please see:

so removed npm:

pacman -R npm

Then was able to proceed with update.

After rebooting, tried to install npm but received the error message above for (conflicting files).

So removed (conflicting files)

Had to remove some files manually via GUI
/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/@npmcli/package-json/LICENSE

/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/@npmcli/package-json/package.json

After that, was able to install npm.

After the update Gnome just freezes after login, the wallpaper, the dash-to-panel and cursor become visible, but there is a grey border around them and nothing works. I also have awesome-wm installed and it is working fine.

If you use nodejs/npm I can recommend using nvm or fnm to install them. It takes away a lot of overhead and issues and enables you to switch between node versions easily.

Hi, I had another minor issue in Plasma after last update: I was using transparent panels, but after the update they turned totally opaque and I can’t find the way to get transparency back. I tried all the supposed ways -it took me a long time getting mad trying the way to change it-, it seems to be right configured, but no way to get may panels transparent again. Any parameter I should check? Thank you!

Hi,
Nice update. I was prepared, as always.
One issue I dont understand: I’m wire-connected to the modem, never needed a password. Now, it asks a pasword. Better put: it notes that I need a password to log in. While I’m fully connected. Even though speeds fluctuate…
Anything I missed?
Thanks
Melissa

Most likely due to this:

I did the update yesterday, today Plasmashell broke. Now it seems not to any window effects like the cube when changing virtual dekstops.
When I start Plasmashell in the Console, it shows many problems I dont know which ones are relevant:

If I log in with Wayland everything starts to work as expected.

edit:

I managed to get it working again in setting OpenGL3.1 in the Compositor Tab in System settings
