[Stable Update] 2023-07-10 - Kernels, Plasma, Gnome, LibreOffice, Pipewire, Mozilla, Wine

That can’t be completely true.
I use xfce and there it also automatically installed the gtk4 version.

Anyways, pamac-gtk ignores the theme and I don’t really understand the answeres here…
Is it a temporary problem with pamac or with the theme? (I am using the Matcha theme)

libadwaita apps don’t work great on KDE. Might work better on XFCE but are normally designed for Gnome based on that UI concept standard. So better use the GTK3 or the Qt6 version of the UI when we release it.

An interesting change of behaviour from pkill. Trying to kill a long process name gets:

pkill: pattern that searches for process name longer than 15 characters will result in zero matches
Try `pkill -f' option to match against the complete command line.

The same applies to pgrep, not surprisingly. This may break a few shell scripts. Looks like I’ll be spending some time checking the 100-odd scripts I have using one or other of those.

Fosshost is long gone.

Interesting pamac-gtk looks like the gtk3 on my host system but a bit more modern.

I have a VM with testing branch where pamac-gtk looks gome UI and I need to use gtk3 one.

Both XFCE. gtk4 linked to .config

I’m getting an error before upgrading:

could not satisfy dependencies:
- unable to satisfy dependency 'libexiv2.so=28-64' required by libgexiv2

Hello Mikesco3, i had the same error message. Try
sudo pacman -Syu

Just updated and it came with firefox 115, but now when using the System theme - auto and Breeze Dark on kde (wayland) it has inconsistent coloring

examples when using “System theme - auto”:

  • the tabs are now “black-er” than 114, but the address bar (and tools beside it) are still the old “grey-ish”
  • when firefox is not focuses the tabs revert to the grey color they had in 114 (and match with the addressbar) (and are “black-er” again once firefox is re-focused)

all of the examples are fixed when manually switching to theme Dark

Something strange happened to me after upgrading.

Shortly after rebooting the computer I get the update of two packages.

I do the update, it tells me that it finishes without problems, but they appear again. As if they were never done.

It doesn’t matter if I do it from the terminal or from the GUI.

At the moment I’m not too worried about it, everything seems to be working fine. But it seems weird to me.

Big problem with this update. Trying to start Pamac completely freezes the system and needs a power cycle. This happened twice. I am using XFCE with Nouveau. I start Pamac by double-clicking the shield icon in the lower right of the screen, next to the clock. Now this freezes the mouse, disables the keyboard, and makes it impossible to type Ctrl-Alt-F2 and open a terminal for debugging. It just freezes fully.

I had two reboots and one successful start of Pamac, which was white while the rest of the system is dark-themed. Something is causing a system freeze with the theme mismatch. I intend to not start Pamac while this problem is ongoing.

From the answers above, the only solution is to downgrade Pamac to pamac-gtk3. Are there other such programs that switched GTK behind the scenes and will now freeze the system? If so, where are they listed? I will switch them to GTK3 as well so they don’t cause more freezes.

Same happened here.

Use:
sudo pacman -Syu

and it will update

There was a small error in libpamac. You have to update it in the terminal with sudo pacman -Syu. Afterwards, it works again.

This update introduced few problem, i could solve Steam starting error with install lib32-libudev0-shim but i still have Black Flickering with my Monitor from time to time now (heavy triggered while scrolling with my Browser, maybe related to the new nvidia drivers.

Anyone got a solution, how to fix the nvidia driver?

Edit:
@philm
The new introduced Black Flickering bug related to the newest nvidia driver:

A nvidia Developer already confirmed the issue and they are working on a bugfix.

thanks, forgot firefox was using gtk for theming, ran on kde:

“Application Style” → “Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style” → set a different theme than current → apply → change it back to the theme before (or the one you want) → apply;

now firefox styling in “System them - auto” is consistent again

note: i do not modify the gtk settings directly

pamac-gtk on XFCE

Thanks @Kobold for the help, what steps to install lib32-libudev0-shim

You may or may not have disabled the adwaita part.
Such as the Note here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK#Themes

@Pentastarch
No steps needed, just install the package with pacman GUI, it was running instantly for me.

Edit:
Install “lib32-libudev0-shim” version 1-6 which also install “libudev0-shim” version 1-4 btw.

Maybe restart your system and try again, if you have still problems.

The same way you install any package.

Manjaro Wiki - Software Management

Already installed - reinstalled it - no change.

The client still doesn’t work - steam appears to be running - the fossilised background processes are running. Steamhelper process is zombied. The system tray icon is there, and the games run from the start menu.
