GNOME 42 has arrived!

Gtk 4 theming and Libadwaita
Unfortunately, there will be no custom theming available for Libadwaita applications. However, once the Libadwaita Recoloring API is implemented, we should be able to add Maia to the color palette.

I suggest installing the adw-gtk-theme from our community repo to make all Gtk applications have a matching theme. In Tweaks, set the Legacy Applications theme to Adw or Adw-dark. I recommend setting the Shell theme to Default or another shell theme you prefer that has GNOME 42 support.

To automatically switch the system theme and legacy application theme when toggling between the Light and Dark style in Settings, install the Legacy (GTK3) Theme Scheme Auto Switcher extension (gnome-shell-extension-legacy-theme-auto-switcher).

Qt application theming
For Qt application theming, we have switched back to QGnomePlatform for GNOME 42. qt5ct and qt6ct (Qt Configuration Utilities) may be marked as orphans. If you want to use QGnomePlatform with the Adwaita Qt style, you’ll need remove or comment the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME variable in /etc/environment. You’ll want both qgnomeplatform and qgnomeplatform-qt6 for Qt 5 and Qt 6 applications.

New Adwaita folder icon style
If you want the new Adwaita folder icon style with Papirus, you can use papirus-folders to set it:

For example, with Papirus-Dark:

papirus-folders -C adwaita --theme Papirus-Dark

Manjaro COSMIC status
For those using the Manjaro COSMIC packages, you will need to remove them. I’ve dropped them from the repos. Once System76 finishes their new Gtk 4 applications for Pop!_OS, I’ll see about adding them.

KNOWN ISSUES

Bluetooth is not enabled by default due to “…changes between GNOME 41 and 42, fixing long-standing bugs which would cause adapters to be powered up when the user never asked for that.”

See: FS#74400 - [bluez] default config should set “AutoEnable=true” by default and After update to gnome-42 bluetooth is always “powered off” after reboot or suspend.

If you’re not using GNOME

If you want to change the theme of Libadwaita applications on another Gtk desktop like Xfce or Cinnamon, you can use the following commands:

Light Adwaita theme:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme default

Dark Adwaita theme:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark

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

FIXED? 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

FIXED? 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

If you are using the old data in postgresql 13, you get the error after the upgrade to postgresql 14.

systemd[1]: Failed to start PostgreSQL database server.

Solution: How to migrate old sql data to new sql data.

sudo pacman -Sy postgresql-old-upgrade
sudo systemctl stop postgresql.service
sudo mv /var/lib/postgres/data /var/lib/postgres/olddata
sudo mkdir /var/lib/postgres/data
sudo chown postgres:postgres /var/lib/postgres/data
sudo su postgres
initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data
/opt/pgsql-13/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgres/olddata/ start
pg_dumpall -h /tmp -f /tmp/old_backup.sql
/opt/pgsql-13/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgres/olddata/ stop
exit
sudo systemctl start postgresql.service 
sudo su postgres
psql -f /tmp/old_backup.sql postgres

No, is Intel, not AMD

Zesko · 25 April 2022 09:58

Did you get the same error?

``

You misunderstood, postgresql and linux kernel have nothing to do with your issue libmediawiki.

bardo · 25 April 2022 10:11

Ok
But i have this eror : ```sudo systemctl stop postgresql.service
Failed to stop postgresql.service: Unit postgresql.service not loaded.
[]# sudo systemctl stop postgresql.service
Failed to stop postgresql.service: Unit postgresql.service not loaded.
sudo systemctl stop postgresql.service

Zesko · 25 April 2022 10:12

Because you did not install postgresql. You do not need to fix it

After this update, plasma-comic stopped working.
Here is the issue, with the fix:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452596

so, a new build of plasma-frameworks is needed

Zesko · 25 April 2022 10:20

Why do you install postgresql? It has nothing to do with your issue libmediawiki.
I hope you understand what I mean.

I recommend you to switch to the stable branch.

bardo · 25 April 2022 10:21

How do i do to the stable branch?

Zesko · 25 April 2022 10:24

I wonder how did you manage to switch to the testing branch

Here:

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch stable && sudo pacman -Syyuu
