[Stable Update] 2021-11-19 - Kernels, Gnome 41.1, Plasma 5.23.3, Frameworks 5.88, LxQt 1.0, Xorg-Server 21.1, Mesa

You might have an outdated mirror. Seems @Yochanan pushed Thunderbird earlier to stable branch, without checking on libffi 3.4.2-4 presence. Therefore wait till your mirror updates or change to a more current one using pacman-mirrors tool.

I seem to have a Virtual box conflict, and as a result it fails to update. I tried both ā€œpamac updateā€ and sudo pacman -Syuu", but both failed.

Simply do this and try to update:

Fixed with 0.3-3.

Some tray icons have become buggy after latest update

Screenshot from 2021-11-20 02-26-59
[notice there is an additional dark background in copyq (the scissor) and nextcloud sync (the tick) icon. also the mentioned icons look quite distorted]

Any solution?

all went smooth except my clipit icon looks ugly now (think itā€™s the dafault one). thought it might be an issue only on i3 but I see others have similar issues.

That fixed the problem, and update was successful. Thanks a lot Philm for a quick response!

I just wish I could find a solution so to get rid of this annoying ā€œpop upā€ message every time you open a voice mail message via VLC player. It simply wonā€™t save the settings no matter what you do, and the message pops up every time. It has been like this for months, and Iā€™m assuming it is a Thunderbird issue!

Ouch! Looks like some sort of nasty in opencl (presumably opencl-mesa, as that was the only package upgraded).

I had opencl enabled in Gimp, but it wasnā€™t previously actually working (something to do with ā€œimageā€ not being available). It seems now that ā€œimageā€ is now at least partially available. So now it looks like Gimp is finding what it thinks is a working option and trying to use it. After a short time processing a picture, my entire desktop freezes. Then after about 30 seconds or so, it goes blank, then I see patches of screen flashing all over the place, then after another short period, the screen just goes black. is needed to get me back to the SDDM login.

Disabling opencl within Gimp seems to fix this problem.

I only had two problems with the upgrade:

  1. Conflict between pipewire-media-session and wireplumber
  2. World repositories became unavailable over time. I had to switch to regional.

I advise you to up the speed and bandwidth of the world mirrors. The load on them will now be higher than before due to the recent spam attack by Russian hackers: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/testing#3

Looks my octopi is broken with this update:

eden@pandora:[~]: octopi                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
octopi: error while loading shared libraries: libqtermwidget5.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I reinstalled octopi, but no luck. Any idea what went wrong and how to fix it?

Itā€™s already fixed with 0.12.0-2.

Update didnā€™t arrive to my village yet :slight_smile:

Hello everyone, I have a very old nvidia card that still needs the 340 driver.
So far, everything has worked fine with the workaround ā€œ[HowTo] get legacy 340xx NVIDIA drivers backā€.
But after this update, the workaround no longer works.
Does anyone here have any ideas or is there an update?

I just found a solution in the AUR of Archlinux that works.
In the AUR ā€œnvidia-340xxā€ the following is suggested:

FiestaLake commented on 2021-11-11 07:55:
May be useful for someone. As now Xorgā€™s version of ABI is 25.2 after updating Xorg to 21.1.1 I had to add these lines to xorg.conf to start graphics successfully.

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "IgnoreABI" "1"
EndSection

From nvidia-390xx-dkms, but it should work on 340xx too.

thanks to folks that fixed this. Much appreciated.

Sometimes Manjaro is a bit leading edge for me, but the support on this forum is just great.

KDE. Try enter to tty1, but nothing happens after press ctrl+alt+f1

Thanks for this solution which worked perfectly for me! :+1:

small ā€œDesktop Effectā€ issue where the transparency of moved windows was no longer being invoked post updateā€¦ fix turned out to be a setting I needed to enable
Screenshot_20211119_160421

Not sure if the settingā€™s name changed between versions or if the update missed recycling/migrating the settingā€¦ but a simple enough fix.

I have the same issue. Nextcloud and CoreCtrl icons are messed up.

Getting a 404 from the main KDE download page for this Full ISO.

This 404s ā†’ https://download.manjaro.org/kde/21.2pre1/manjaro-kde-21.2pre1-211119-linux513.iso
This does not: https://download.manjaro.org/kde/21.2pre1/manjaro-kde-21.2pre1-211119-linux515.iso

513.iso vs 515.iso

I see the links above are different and available but, thought Iā€™d mention it, fwiw.
