This update seems to have fixed a bug i have had for ages in plasma, where after booting to desktop having a second monitor connected but not turned on, the second desktop would appear on the primary monitor as an overlay until clicking on the desktop with the mouse.
Just a heads up: I’m having some issues with Cinnamon DE as well.
For me it’s mainly that all display settings for multiple monitors are forgotten/reset to default. That means that monitor layout and orientation is off. Also the setting for which monitor is primary is gone.
Additionally, the Display settings dialog is no longer in the Start menu by itself. You have to open it through the general System Settings app.
So, this is all easily fixable, but annoying nonetheless. During a month I will easily connect my laptop to two dozen work/meeting room setups and all those display settings were handily remembered and automatically applied, so now I will face a couple of months of going into the display settings everytime I use a new desk or meeting room.
After update my keyboard (italian layout) doesn’t work as expected. the AltGr doesn’t work, and in the terminal i cannot write any characters. The locale.gen file seems correct like was before, i try to regenerate it with “sudo locale-gen”, but it doesn’t resolve the problem. Also Cinnamon complain about some applets that cannot be run and some other errors. I get back with timeshift and all return to normal. I wait some days to retry update.
Problem with Qt library, i can’t launch Ksiisen or Knetwalk : Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.4) with this library (5.15.5) Abandon (core dumped)
Which package is responsible ? I am on Cinnamon.
Don’t know an application or package called “Ksiisen” (a typo?), but these kinds of problems usually stem from using an AUR package which needs to be recompiled. It might also happen if the manjaro maintainers forget to rebuild an official package, but that is rare. So check all the AUR packages you have installed and make sure to rebuild them.
In general, you should be able to find out which libs are incompatible by using ldd, e.g.
ldd $(which knetwalk) | grep Q
Note, that ldd will usually only show the symbolic links. To get the real library, use
I would like to know what the issue is. To be honest, in the past I had numerous issues with Pamac in combination with the AUR, which is why I installed yay a not long ago. Would it make sense to disable the AUR support in Pamac and do all AUR stuff in yay instead? Even if I installed packages with Pamac.
After waiting a few hours, I have used the sudo command, even if it is discouraged. As there is no other fix.
Not sure. I have been through a lot of wine updates mostly without issues. Every time there is a new wine update, the config windows pop up for one time only. My windows based programs seems to run alright. I have install the game in Steam and it works there. I will keep the wine version to check in subsequent updates. That game is kind of my canary for windows games.
There is a better fix, not to use sudo with pamac - since it may cause more harm than good, but to rebuild your AUR packages instead. I uninstalled those packages that had issues and installed them from scratch. It worked (as a temporary fix).
