Hello everybody. After update (six times) the system, it stay in the black screen previous to show the login input (GDM). Updating by parts, I get the system starts fine and I found the problem: gdm-plymouth.
Updating the full system without gdm-plymouth goes fine. Now I stay with the GDM previous to the update. Is there any reason for that error with gdm-plymouth? Thanks.

Yochanan · 20 May 2022 16:33

What error?

Joan_Tondo · 20 May 2022 17:10

Updating gdm to gdm-plymouth doesn’t show the login input nor let alt+ctrl-f2 to go to tty.
You can get into console mode adding 3 to the boot option, and then, go to gnome with ‘gnome-shell – wayland’. Downloading gdm-plumouth to gdm, every goes fine again.

AUR packages are neither supported by Arch nor Manjaro

But this question is about why packages in the official repo are pulling in AUR packages as dependencies. It shouldn’t happen.

$ pikaur -Qua --devel
...
 kipi-plugins                          21.12.3-1            -> 22.04.0-1
 libkipi                               21.12.3-1            -> 22.04.0-1
...

At https://manjaro.org/branch-compare/:
Packages: kipi-plugins kde-unstable
Branch: Stable: 21.12.2.1.r12087.g604ce6cc3-1

So it looks like they did not get updated to 22.04 in Manjaro repos. ?

I never heard of KIPI before, I did not install it, I don’t use kde-unstable,
but now kipi-plugins and libkipi appear in AUR, and it looks like
I cannot remove them without breaking gwenview and spectacle :

$ pikaur -R libkipi
:: removing libkipi breaks dependency 'libkipi' required by gwenview
:: removing libkipi breaks dependency 'libkipi' required by spectacle

gwenview and spectacle still work,
so I’ll not do anything with kipi until some well-founded advice appears.

maycne.sonahoz · 21 May 2022 06:32

This is already mentioned in the Known issues and solutions above.

j77h · 21 May 2022 06:37

Thanks.
I read that list before I upgraded, at which time libkipi meant nothing to me, so I didn’t remember it after the upgrade. I’ll try forcing pikaur to remove them.

EDIT:
There’s still something wrong with this situation though, isn’t there? –
that some package you never heard of can suddenly appear in your AUR helper’s list.

Mirdarthos · 21 May 2022 08:04

Not really, AFAIK anyway. Because packages can get downgraded to AUR relatively easily, and it does happen, and has happened previously. Even easier for a dependency that you might not know about.

But perhaps that’s just my opinion.

maycne.sonahoz · 21 May 2022 09:14

See: [Need-To-Know] About Manjaro and AUR

j77h · 21 May 2022 15:34

This might be getting off topic,
but look at the change between 13:32 and 17:15 (AEST) :
at 17:15, gwenview and spectacle were no longer listed as dependencies.

I’m also having the same problem trying to open .jnlp files since the update. this is what I get:

As for you, with Java 17 works. Did you manage to find a solution to get Java 18 to work?

A little annoyance: after the update, at every reboot I can’t see anymore the “Network: Wifi activated” KDE popup.
I suspect network is activated before desktop is displayed.

From the previous update I had noticed that the popup was shown much earlier than usual, but sufficiently in time to be visible.

brahma · 22 May 2022 12:45

check system settings/notifications/network management and is show popup checked

After updating, Rawtherapee would crash and dump core immediately after opening. Removing and reinstalling Rawtherapee fixed the issue.

rockingcat · 22 May 2022 14:15

After updating Plasma from 5.24.4 to 5.24.5 the “Noto Sans” fonts look condensed/squeezed.
Here is a reddit post and a bug report.

The solution until the fonts are fixed is to downgrade the package noto-fonts to the version 20201226-2:
$ pacman -S downgrade
$ DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 downgrade noto-fonts

QT6 compiled apps from a few updates(months ago with passing them to qt6 I think) are breaking globalmenu in qbittorrent and strawberry
and close to tray that is fixed already in strawberry( fixed in the latest update upstream )
I have fixed them by instaling aur packages with QT5 version… is it a way to mantain qt5 version until KDE software is ported?

all of it in xorg is working, the wayland session is what gives me problems

QT6+wayland breaks globalmenu/appmenu

Check the Changelog to see if the issue is already fixed: No fixed https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/blob/master/Changelog If it's fixed, try the latest development build from: https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/ **Describe the bug** When i hit close buttom strawberry doesn't go to tray, it will close. **To Reproduce** At least my system is manjaro, with plasma and wayland session, everything updated. Before it was working correct I think.. **Expected behavior** When I press close buttom strawberry must go to tray if the option is enabled. **System Information:** - Operating system: Manjaro stable - Strawberry Version:1.0.4-2 **Additional context** I think is a regression because before it was working well.. Maybe strawberry compiled with latest qt version makes unusable close to tray? Globalmenu is broken too with wayland

highflyer74 · 22 May 2022 20:11

No, but I haven’t tried so far. I’ll try again with Java 18 after the next update and keep an eye on it.

wils0n · 22 May 2022 20:59

Thanks, this works for me.

gan · 23 May 2022 09:20

The option is checked. I tried to enable a sound and enable “Show in history”, but I have not heard neither the sound nor the popup message is displayed in the history.
The Network’s icon is ok and wifi works fine.

The behaviour you want has been “fixed”.
