[Stable Update] 2021-12-10 - Kernels, Systemd, LibreOffice, Plasma, Browser, Thunderbird

Why no python 3.10?

The update left my system in a broken state.

I started the Manjaro update from the graphical UI along with an update of virtualbox-ext-oracle from the AUR to version 6.1.30 and went out of the room for doing some other stuff. When I came back, the updater had vanished, and the desktop was dead (nothing was working). Apparently the process crashed somewhere in the middle, leaving a broken system that didn’t boot any more. After restoring it with Timeshift I gave it a second shot, but first uninstalled virtualbox-ext-oracle on suspicion. This time everything went fine. Later I could re-install that package again without problems.

System: Asus ROG-Strix B550-E Gaming, Ryzen 5800X, Nvidia RTX 3080 with proprietary drivers, KDE.

Cause Manjaro - Fresh & Stable

Details:
Cause it does not reach testing branch of Manjaro →
cause it does not reach unstable branch of Manjaro →
cause it does not reach stable repo of Arch Linux, Testing only (Arch Linux - Package Search), but as you see was flagged in stable branch there as outdated.


You can monitor approaching to stable branch of any package by querying the Manjaro - Branch Compare with your package
Currently it is far from stable

But when it reach testing branch of Manjaro updates, it is hard to say the exact date when it will be merged into stable different packages has different time to realize is it stable enough or not, some other packages uses 3.9 version and need to be rebuilt against 3.10 and to test them. After that, all those stuff will join stable branch of Manjaro updates.

Fixed in repo. When package will arrive, don’t forget to reapply the color scheme (i.e. apply some other and then return back) and sync sddm config. For now you could try to use this.

cp -f /etc/skel/.config/kdeglobals /var/lib/sddm/.config/

Since update today i get this problems on CS GO.
Any Idea i think its something with mesa maybe,

Thx

It’s CSGO update, check this

Thanks! I’m brand new to Manjaro and spent the last 18 hours trying to install and update it. It kept borking my system and had to reinstall about a dozen times. I saw your tip, followed it, and am up and running! Thanks again.

Copying that helped the SDDM login to be more pleasent to eyes, although the icons appear quite dark and the text input is quite dark but I’d take that any day over the eye burning oversaturated image. :sunglasses:

You can try to set theme to light → apply plasma colors → set theme to dark. Also would fix this issue as light theme had correct values.

thank you!

Not sure. It’s definitely something that should be fixed for future updates.

I’m confused about this. After the stable update, I installed the breath-dark-icon-theme because I love the green Dolphin folder icons. Are these being deprecated?

CSGO won’t even start for me and hasn’t now for several weeks. Has anyone else had this problem?

Yes. We suggest to use Breeze icons now.

i dont have this problem

Is there a way to make the Breeze icons the same green color as the Breath?

They are color-aware now.

I see they have remained green after changing back to Breeze, but they are very dark. Is that on purpose?

I think it is but since not many people liked it, it would be changed in future.

Install mint-themes-legacy from the AUR if you want the old versions.

This package has been created for those who wanted the old mint-themes available as upstream has declared in their September news
