[Stable Update] 2024-07-01 - Kernels, Systemd, KDE Gear, LibreOffice, Firefox, Wine, Qemu

@scotty65 thank you for highlighting that, I was lost in search results:)

After manjaro-chroot login to my installation, I’ve edited the /etc/default/grub file and edited the relevant line as below:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="XXXXXXXXXXX SYSTEMD_CGROUP_ENABLE_LEGACY_FORCE=1 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"

and then sudo grub-install && sudo update-grub

and then rebooted my computer.

Now I can go back to my Monday routine, peacefully:))

[Astalacoucougnasse]

had another issue when rebooting.
I had to power off the computer after grub at Freeze state.
When restarting I switched to my kde session without any issue but I didn’t enter grub kernel selection

[hanny00]

the Update was installed as i noticed it when i called protontricks, and it had problems with python.

Just edited the wiki post with the workaround for not having internet in virtual machines if UFW is enabled

sudo ufw allow in on virbr0
sudo ufw allow out on virbr0

octopi notifier does not start automatically anymore

Confirmed. I’ve now added it to the Plasma Autostart section.

Octopi starts as expected (on a fresh KDE install) after update is applied. It might be something else in play on some systems.

Go ahead, ask me, did I remember to reboot?!

Octopi Notifier does not autostart; just as described…
Add it to Plasma Autostart as previously indicated.

…otherwise, no obvious issues…

I thought Plasma 6.1 might make an appearance too, but:

[Testing Update] 2024-07-01 - Kernels, Gstreamer, Thunderbird, Pipewire, Mesa, Firefox, Gnome, Phosh, Nvidia, Qt6

We won’t update to 6.1 Plasma any time soon. There are serious bugs which prevents that. You can find the Plasma 6 upstream release schedule and see when bug fixes are expected. Switch to unstable to help testing. Testing branch is a preparation branch for the Stable branch. So we will see when Plasma 6.1 is enough stable from our end to land here.

As an end user I appreciate the Manjaro team and testers doing their thing to bring us an eventual stable Plasma 6.1 system with our patience.

Here is the output of systemctl plasmashell service if that helps,

sudo pacman -Syyu didn’t show any updates for me. Had to sudo pacman-mirrors -c Germany && sudo pacman -Syyu to find them.

Trying to understand, can anyone explain? Found that solution on the forums.

[Teo]

Your previous mirrors were not synced yet. Refreshing with pacman-mirrors makes a pool only from synced ones. Alternatively you could have waited an hour or two.

[Aragorn]

@Teo

Alternatively you could have waited an hour or two.

Or — gasp! — one could actually look at the man pages…

man pacman
man pacman-mirrors

Surely not…

Thank you for explaining!

This is only a reminder to update again if you use sshd.

OpenSSH: CVE-2024-6387 - regreSSHion

I know that there currently only is a working exploit for 32-Bit systems. However, a 64-Bit exploit is only a matter of time. Therefore, a fast patch would be preferable to not even get into potential unclear situations once an exploit drops. Not panicing is advisible and the update should not break existing deployments, however, even large distributions with a focus on stable packages like Debian and Ubuntu understood this and already backported minimal patches anyway. Also, the comparison to …

It may be advisable to reboot afterwards if your sshd is active.

@stoffel

after the update, I noticed that the system just logs off when selecting “Shutdown” from application menu in Cinnamon.

It should be fixed with cinnamon-session 6.2.0-1.0 coming along shortly.

@notageek

octopi notifier does not start automatically anymore

It’s a feature, not a bug.

[Yochanan]

Known Issue regarding OpenSSH added above.

[XTREEMRAGE]

This gave me limited internet connection in my KVM. If I turn off my ufw, the internet is working fine, with the rules added it’s very slow (limited internet connection). Maybe I’m missing something.

[Teo]

I did not test it very thoroughly to be honest. DNS and ping. When i run the virt machine with ip a i see yet another interface vnet0. First i also allowed this, but it did not seem to make a difference so i deleted the rules and did not mention it, but i did not test speed.

[silverhikari]

this seems to be that a package is trying to add those files when another packages already has those files. try doing pacman -Qo on the files(full path) to see what package owns those

[jqv]

Also got Cinnamon 6.2 Shutdown bug, can add that it’s very easy to click the top right Off button when I get bumped to the login screen instead of getting shutdown, then at least my system gets powered off.

[Lender]

that let the connection in virtual machine to start
but no apps get internet in VM
