[Stable Update] 2022-02-27 - Kernels, Mesa 21.3.7, Plasma 5.24.2, Frameworks 5.91, Pipewire 0.3.47, Toolchain, Gstreamer 1.20, Nvidia 510.54

I too noticed pamac wasn’t finding AUR updates a bit ago. It was before this update. I knew Chrome had a 0-day patched and when I never saw an update notice in my tray, I looked in pamac but nothing showed. I ran yay and had 7 AUR updates. That was mentioned on another thread so hopefully they’re aware

Yep, this worked. The desktop file I changed was in /usr/share/applications. I added the --no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox at the end of the Exec line

The files is Keepass data files. Are you sure those are related to gnome?

Hi!!
After this update I’ve realized that every time I wake up my 2 computers (Desktop & laptop) from sleep the mouse loses its natural scrolling feature, I’ve to enable again. Weird…

I tried editing in “Edit applications” in KDE menu, but for some reason didn’t work. So changing teams.desktop in /usr/share/applications is the way, as you suggested

Not quite. I had planned to fiddle some more before there was a stable ISO release. The next nightly development GNOME ISO will at least include Manjaro branding /theming again.

The purpose of stripping down the minimal ISOs is in preparation for new things we have planned for the installer. Stay tuned for more news.

If anyone has more feedback regarding this, please create a new topic in #site-feedback for more discussion. We are of course open to feedback and welcome suggestions from users.

EDIT: @Chrysostomus and I made some improvements to the GNOME ISO’s. @phil should be spinning up new 21.2.4 ISO’s soon.

I had some trouble opening spyder. “Fixed” it by downgrading python-mccabe from 0.7.0-1 to 0.6.1-11.

pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (mccabe 0.7.0 (/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages), Requirement.parse('mccabe<0.7.0,>=0.6.0'), {'flake8'})

Hi, thank you for your help. I had different problem - I could see the media, but I couldn’t mount it.

Problem was, as I figured out, in fstab file. There was a line for /dev/sdc what was completely wrong and also I don’t know why there was this line.

Repairing fstab file solved problem.

Absolutely. The description of the program from their readme in gitlab:

Secrets is a password manager which integrates perfectly with the GNOME desktop and provides an easy and uncluttered interface for the management of password databases.
(…)
Features:

  • :star: Create or import KeePass safes

It asks you to create a KeePass file once, saves its location in dconf, and then never asks you about it again if you don’t want to. That’s how I forgot about the location of said file. Since the program changed its name, the schema also changed.

Searching the forum, I’ve found a similar issue:

I’ve not the 40-libinput.conf inside /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. So, I understand that I should create it, however I don’t know what stuff I should put in it (in addition of the suggested solution, of course).
Any idea? :smiley:

I’m not familiar with the internal workings of KDE. I don’t see kdebase-runtime as a user or group. What did you remove, exactly? Thanks!

kdebase-runtime is an old and long since removed KDE4 package. You can remove it:

sudo pacman -Rs kdebase-runtime && sudo pacman -Syyu

Issue with sound is fixed by
creating a file ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/pipewire-pulse.conf

stream.properties = {
    channelmix.normalize  = false
}

and restarting the services

You could also uninstall it with the assumption that it is installed, so that you don’t actually uninstall its dependants.

sudo pacman -Rnus --assume-installed dunstify dunstify

Followed by upgrade immediately

sudo pacman -Syu

Black screen after reboot after update is complete. But on the next reboot it worked.

I’m merging /etc/locale.gen with /etc/locale.gen.pacnew after the update. What kind of can of worms goes open when one would uncomment C.UTF-8 UTF-8?

It’s a bit sad that the syntax of that file supports comments, but upstream lacked to document the need of the C “locale” in locale.gen in place. Also trailing spaces :face_vomiting:

Since updating my KDE install that I created only a few months ago, the system tray is present, but pamac, syncthing-gtk etc. no longer appear like they used to. They also aren’t present in the Entries tab as Hidden.

EDIT: Also, other than Firefox, everything is very slow to open. And no, CPU is not fully utilised, it is less than 20% and same with memory. Seemed to not effect GTK apps, but only QT/KDE

EDIT 2: Using a timeshift backup, I can confirm that something broke in the update, as everything is working now. Backup was from the 25th of Feb as I hadn’t used it in a bit.

EDIT 3: Installed the updates again, same thing occurred. Created a new user and everything is working again, so obviously something changed in the user configurations.

I just noticed my gnome is showing 41.3 and not 41.4. Anyone else notice this? A UI bug?
Did this command “gnome-shell --version” That shows 41.4 just shows 41.3 when you check settings. So a UI bug. All good.
