[Testing Update] 2020-10-27 - KDE-git, Firefox, Deepin, Plasma 5.20.2, LibreOffice, Linux 5.10-rc1

For now, no issue with nvidia 440 but it limits things like using NVENC (only supported with latest drivers), if you want to try and confirm the issue disappear it could help confirm an issue in 455/450 drivers.

This Discord entry from the wiki post can now be removed since Arch fixed the packaging screwup.

Hi. I’m having a few issues with the Manjaro Gnome since the Mikah 20.1.2 release. Such issues persisted with the Nibia 20.2 pre1, pre2 and pre3. The issues are:

  • I’m no longer able to install Dropbox and Spotify from the AUR (key issue; not trusted). I tried to add the keys, but the problem persists. However, I could install the Zoom app from the AUR with any problem whatsoever. I have never had any problem of this kind before since Manjaro 18.

  • When I suspend my laptop and “awake it up” to make login again, it first shows my freeze screen as I left it (like a printscreen) and only after a couple seconds my login screen appears. This issue causes a problem of privacy, since anyone can “awake” your laptop and see whatever window you left opened when you put it on suspension mode.

  • The system requires password when I turn on my laptop. When installing Manjaro, I checked the box “do not require password to login,” but the system keeps asking me my password anyway. When I go to Settings>Users, it shows the system is set to make “automatic login”, then I turn it off and on again, but this setting only lasts for one system initialization; the second time it already comes back asking my password. I never had this issues before.

Those were the issues I could detect so far.
Thanks for your attention.

It looks like the new version of fmt breaks waybar for Sway users. fmt 7.1.0-1 introduces this error:

waybar: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libspdlog.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN3fmt2v76detail10vformat_toIcEENS0_20basic_format_contextISt20back_insert_iteratorINS1_6bufferIT_EEES6_E8iteratorERS7_NS0_17basic_string_viewIS6_EENS0_17basic_format_argsINS3_IS4_INS5_INS0_13type_identityIS6_E4typeEEEESH_EEEE

This looks like it is inherited from Arch, as users there have been experiencing this for a few days. Downgrading to fmt 7.0.3-1 solves the problem for now.

EDIT: It looks like Arch pushed out a fixed version of Waybar recompiled against the new fmt. Is there a chance that we could get this pushed out to Testing?

Same problem here.

I switched yesterday from Stable to Testing, everything works well. (I wouldn’t normally reply that everything’s working, but I thought this extra information may help someone).

Using: Gnome, Wayland, AMD Graphics

How are we supposed to merge the changes to the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf config file ?

Just substitute quotation marks with round brackets as suggested by the pacnew file. With your contents left intact. Like HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap encrypt filesystems fsck).
And add #COMPRESSION="zstd" to the list of compression methods.
Or better, copy your unique settings from old file into the new one, then delete old one and rename new one.

Yup, seeing this too.

There was just a new small update (23) some hours ago, right ? including keyring signatures update.

That’s right, it just got posted here:
