I’m finishing the update using pacdiff. All files done except the last one: polkit-1.pacsave. I’ve read the known issues section but still confused since I don’t remember I’ve modified polkit-1 file before. Is it safe to just remove polkit-1.pacsave file as pacdiff suggests?
Well after i updated again with my PC now, i saw also the removal from this package, it was shown in the pamac GUI.
But the additional information about known issues and solution, was a little confusing for me.
Because i thought i had to manually deal with the replacement from bashrc-manjaro… i think it would be better if it not mentionend under know issues, when everything dealed automatically anyways.
Indeed: /etc/.bash.bashrc is the system-wide one, so if you have multiple users, that’s the one to change so @robbie-hatley probably has a multi-user system just like mine…
Thank you for the plymouth modification in this update. Everything went smoothly,
except:
after running pacdiff -s after the update and overwriting /etc/passwd with the pacnew, I could not use sudo anymore, nor log into gui or tty. I noticed my old one was in the first line with /bin/bash.
I had to get the Timeshifted file and copy it back to restore my system’s functionality! (copied the /etc/passwd and /etc/passwd- files back)
Before that I tried modifying the new one to /bin/bash in the first line but that didn’t work.
Noticed there is also the /etc/passwd- file that I didn’t modifly…
How should I go about it now? I don’t want to miss the advantages of the pacnew in the future.
Without my old config I can’t login …
Also
^ I got the same warnings while upgrading. How should I go about it? Change the permissions or ignore the warnings?
Hooray, you saved my day. I’ve been struggling for months to apply a dark theme to my qt5 applications in Xfce. Following your advice, I moved these four lines from .profile to .bash_profile
After applying pacdiff changes I appear to have lost the users and can only login as root.
I applied the updates to my two less critical systems, an old Intel based desktop system and and old AMD based netbook. They rebooted fine and I was able to do graphical login as normal then check for changes using pacdiff -s. As I had made no changes to any of the files for which there was a *.pacnew I overwrote all the files. There were no *.pacsave files afterwards, I do not know if there should be.
However on rebooting I appear to have the Plymouth problems and cannot login as any user except root on a TTY (Ctrl+Alt+Fn), which seems a similar the above problem:
I am continuing to investigate, though guidance welcome, but I thought it best to report the issues now.
