Locale file changes

C.UTF8 locale is now included in glibc:

Credits @diabonas for this change. Systemd wants us to include C.UTF8 by default and it seems the locale may be in included by glibc upstream in the future. To fix building and avoid nasty fixing in devtools, we include the locale in the package. See systemd/systemd#23252 (comment) FS#74864 : [systemd] >= 251 breaks devtools' locale

There is a pacsave for /etc/locale.conf as it has been removed from the filesystem package.

UPDATE: With filesystem 2022.06.08-2, it will automatically restore /etc/locale.conf if it did not already exist.

There is a pacnew for /etc/locale.gen. Please review it and regenerate your locale if necessary.

QEMU >= 7.0.0 changes split package setup

2022-05-09 - David Runge

With the update to qemu 7.0.0 the package has been turned into a more fine grained split package utilizing meta packages.

  • The qemu package is now virtually provided by the meta packages qemu-base, qemu-desktop and qemu-full.
  • The functionality of qemu prior to 7.0.0 is replaced by qemu-desktop
  • The functionality of qemu-headless is replaced by qemu-base
  • The functionality of qemu-arch-extra and qemu-headless-arch-extra is replaced by qemu-emulators-full
  • The meta package qemu-full provides all QEMU related packages (excluding qemu-guest-agent)

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

Everything went smoothly. Also fixed the inability (in KDE) to change ‘Screen Locking’ Wallpaper Type (Workspace Behavior > Screen Locking > Appearance) under Wayland (no problems via X11).

Hi, the link is for the unstable branch and not the testing one.
I’m curious to know the difference, thanks.

There is no difference as Phil snapped unstable to testing at the same time.

No issues whatsoever. I hope this versions fixes the issue with the daily wallpaper not being downloaded. Need to wait the whole day to find out if that is fixed or not.

When using mpv from the manjaro repositories pipewire is not supported, resulting in no audio.
Running the -git version, as I started doing when I swapped to pipewire results in errors regarding libplacebo, namely:

[vo/gpu/vulkan/libplacebo] vk->CreateSwapchainKHR(vk->dev, &sinfo, PL_VK_ALLOC, &p->swapchain): VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN (../libplacebo/src/vulkan/swapchain.c:583)
[vo/gpu/vulkan/libplacebo] Failed (re)creating swapchain!
Could not initialize video chain.

Probably it’s a rebuild of libplacebo that needs to happen.

EDIT:
Forcing a full rebuild of everything that mpv requires using the mpv-full-git package fixes both issues, as is expected

I replaced PulseAudio with Pipewire last month, and I’ve not had any issues with audio playback with mpv since then. I’m using the regular mpv package from the repos, by the way, but glad that you fixed the issue on your end.

I got the many same error messages from journalctl in host when opening Linux in VirtualBox and using Logitech Webcam and pipewire.

Solution:

Switch pulseaudio to pipewire in Linux in VirtualBox
