[Testing Update] 2021-09-17 - Kernels, LibreOffice, Browsers, Pipewire, RHVoice, KDE Frameworks

Seems to be fixed after a reboot, sorry for bothering.

At least this should serve as a reminder that you must run updates on a TTY instead of the desktop to avoid those kinds of problems before the next reboot.

Yeah something is weird, using pacman-mirrors and forcing database refresh, twice, and I get ‘rolled back’ mirrors with packages with lesser version on the mirrors. I didn’t do the update yet, I am on previous update from last week.

//EDIT: 3/4 hours later, trying again to pacman-mirrors and force refresh of database, and still getting rolled back mirrors (I force a list of countries but still it gives me plenty mirrors so… I don’t know… will wait tomorrow).

I suppose someone pushed the Stable updates to the Testing branch and now mirrors are messed up, so yeah will see tomorrow.

//EDIT2: 12 hours later, same situation. I don’t want to force the mirror to the only one working. Staying on normal way to check what’s going on. Still no official answer despite something going wrong in all mirrors.

Kernel 5.14.5 and 5.13.18 are breaking wifi on Dell XPS 9310 with QCA6390 (Killer AX500) and probably on all laptops with the same network device. This is an regression because Kernelversions before are working. There is a bug report on kernel org bugzilla ( Bug 214455).

Maybe link to the bug as I can’t find it. Also which kernel was the last working for you from both series? @Mistral24

Please use https://mirrors.manjaro.org/repo, which is our official supported CDN77 mirrors network with over 64 datacenters all over the world. We also sync every 15 mins.

got the same for many hours, although every other repo from Germany was showing sync’d status < 10 minutes. Only worked with philm’s global repo. Hmmm :thinking: :question:

when i try Server = https://mirrors.manjaro.org/testing/$repo/$arch , i only get 404 - i guess i’m understanding you wrong?

After this update in Xfce , all the application icons packs with name: Menda-Circle ; Menda-Square and Vertex-Maia are apparently non-existent …
All the Whisker menu are with the correct circle / square color but the detail is gone …

All the others ( Faenza ) are correct , all the non default installation system are all correct.

How can I reload the Menda-Circle icon pack?

yes you do, click that link and follow the instructions.

The “link” doesn’t contain any URL for me (checked in multiple browsers to be sure, but even the HTML doesn’t contain a link) - i kinda feel really dumb right now if that is some oversight on my side ^^

@Termy

yeah, that’s pretty much what i did - i’m getting 404s though when doing pacman -Syy

is not the same with

https://mirrors.manjaro.org/repo/testing/$repo/$arch

oohh, no i see it - and that way, it works :smiley:
Thanks!

For me, in Australia, https://mirrors.manjaro.org/repo gets 404.
https://mirrors.manjaro.org/ without ‘repo’ shows the message.
(Not a problem for me, as I use stable branch on a local mirror,
but thought you might want to know.)

You’re not supposed to access and browse the CDN from your web browser, that’s probably why.

For switching mirrors simple use the pacman-mirrors cli tool.

Command to execute for Global Mirror (CDN77)

sudo pacman-mirrors -c Global

Done :wink:

But I noticed it’s not faster in download speed compared to local Mirrors (Germany) only the mirrors are synced more often.

sudo pacman-mirrors —geoip
