[Stable Update] 2021-10-16 - Haskell, Python, KDE Gear, KDE Framework, Thunderbird

I could not complete the update.

«Unable to download the package ‘manjaro-settings-manager-kcm-0.5.6-16-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig’ from manjaro.lucassymons.net : The requested URL returned error: 404»

What can I do?

I had that issue running pamac from the terminal, but the pamac GUI was able to download the file and continue the update.

If that doesn’t work, you may need to wait for the mirrors to finish updating, or temporarily switch to an updated mirror… see https://repo.manjaro.org/

I solved it with pacman GUI, thanks

Fixed with -20 version. Sorry for the inconvenience.

As you can see we modified System Settings modules a bit to be more clear about those settings origin and removed modules that duplicate the functionality of KDE modules as a part of our communication with Nate Graham and KDE team. Our versions are still available from separate “Manjaro Settings Manager” application.

Confirming the fix, thank you!

Remember to push this to other branches, thank you!

I confirm too, the -20 version works fine.
Thanx for all.

Manjaro Tools seem to be at 21.1.2 when do these get updated?

Tools are getting their versions info from lsb-release of the host installed system.

Out of curiosity - what is the reason to ship the latest ISO’s with kernel 5.13.19 when it’s EoL?

Excellent. This looks better than before.
Also, after reinstalling the network card driver, the wake on lan is now working.

I also want newer (even 5.15) in ISOs.

Seems to be some users have more unresolved issues with the 5.14 than with 5.13, but 5.15 is still RC (officially beta testing version). It’s the only idea I can find under such releases.
The main point is to get more stable LiveCD while using or installing and to do not lose a new users who do not know what where are several kernels.

It is only my interpretation, I do not know Manjaro team thoughts.

Xfce, Kernel 4.14: with this system update all went fine as usual, except for the fact that still remains the problem with lightdm; I 've tried again to change the kernel, reinstall lightdm from scratch, but no solution.

We are still looking into the following issue. As soon as we have a solution we will push it to all branches: Hangs on file conflicts checking (#1138) · Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab

For the link posted from kde.org:
2 of the ‘reasons’ stated are vague and meaningless, Another 2 of those ‘reasons’ are specious:

Manjaro had issues with forum website SSL certificate in 2015 and 2016, so not recent

The community treasurer resigned following a dispute about releasing funds that should not have subsequently been made public on anti-social media

OP later admits that the final allegation about missing debug symbols is an Arch thing

OP later comment states having made no attempt to contact Manjaro about these allegations

Does KDE have a code of conduct?

Any reason why the downloads webpage is not updated?

Hi, Chris!

Again, question is not to me, I do not know what plans are, but my hyper-activity here only.

Perhaps with the Hangs on file conflicts checking (#1138) · Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab unresolved we are currently in the half state: ISOs made yesterday contains not a fully-fixed (that 1138 side-effect was found by Phil) pamac: w/ fixed AUR, but local package installation at least of special package is broken.

So possible Manjaro Team plan is: to resolve that high priority lack, to build new ISOs (21.1.6.1 or 21.1.7) with fixed pamac and to share it by all channels.

My non-authoritative suggestion is to monitor the mentioned issue state and to wait official answer or news.

Have you actually read what is written? KDE team just doesn’t want to waste their time with bad bug reports and I can understand them. This would require rebuilding all packages with !strip in PKGBUILDs I believe,

Does KDE have a code of conduct?

I suggest keeping the ball down a bit … I find the discussion over there relatively moderate, in particular from Nate’s side; he also undid the merge that would remove Manjaro from the recommended list (and flagged the one forcing the merge …). It’s a KDE discussion and in the end it’s clear where the problems lie, the custom Breeze Theme apparently, the Manjaro-tools integration into Plasma’s control center and missing debug symbols that render bug reports borderline useless. And the fact that Manjaro breaks sometimes, which is not a totally new or unsurprising thing. As it seems, contact between KDE and Manjaro has been established and first things of this list are resolved.

For me this looks like a prime case of “getting it together” from both sides and I very much appreciate that. :green_heart: :blue_heart:
