[Testing Update] 2022-03-20 - Kernels, Haskell, Python, Gnome, PHP

[philm]

Hello community,

Another testing branch update with some usual updates for you.

Don’t miss out on free shipping of all our merch! Visit one of our stores: https://manjaro.myspreadshop.com/

• Kernels got renewed
• PHP is at 8.1.4
• A lot of Haskell, Python and other regular upstream package updates

You may need to rebuild any AUR packages that install files to site-packages …

You may need to rebuild any Python packages you’ve installed from the AUR. To get a list of them, you can run:

pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9

And to rebuild them all at once with an AUR helper such as yay, you can do:

yay -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) --answerclean All

But if any of the packages don’t work with Python 3.10 yet, this might fail halfway through and you’ll have to do rebuild the remaining ones one or a few at a time.

Get our latest daily developer images now from Github: Plasma, Gnome, XFCE. You get the latest stable releases of Manjaro from CDN77.

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.2) with this library (5.15.3)

• Check the mirror you use is up to date:

sudo pacman-mirrors -f 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu 

• If you use qt5-styleplugins (AUR), rebuild it:

pamac build qt5-styleplugins

VPN via L2TP might not work anymore

See FS#74089 - networkmanager 1.36 breaks vpn with networkmanager-l2tp

You may need to downgrade to 1.34.0:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libnm/libnm-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/networkmanager/networkmanager-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

DSL/PPPoE may require downgrading 2 packages

See my-internet-connection-is-no-longer-working and FS#73948 - networkmanager 1.36.0 breaks DSL connection

Please check if 1.36.2-1.0 of NetworkManager improve things, else downgrade to 1.34.0:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libnm/libnm-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/networkmanager/networkmanager-1.34.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

New warnings when building the fallback initcpio - Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa, qed, qla1280, qla2xxx

That’s due to the recent changes to the linux-firmware package. Note these are warnings, not errors. You only need those firmwares if you have Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices and Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters. if you have that hardware you can install linux-firmware-qlogic to get rid of those warnings. If you do not have that hardware you can safely ignore those warnings.

pamac install linux-firmware-qlogic

Just installed and rebooted, and already I’ve run into an issue, Telegram Desktop was updated and now it fails to start with a “Can’t mix incompatible Qt library” error.

Edit: turns out I had qt6gtk2 installed from the AUR that I’d forgotten about, rebuilding it fixed Telegram.

[michaldybczak]

Everything seems to be all right. I also recompiled optimus-manager and optimus-manager-qt, just in case. After reboot, all works fine.

Linux 5.17 is still in beta status. Try with a stable kernel.

[Firestar]

both 5.16 and 5.17 have the same problem and I found that it is not kernel’s fault
