[Unstable Update] 2021-04-02 - Kernels, Gnome 40, Firefox, Libreoffice, Systemd 248

IIRC, uninstall plymouth package and get rid of mkinitcpio hook.

[Chrysostomus]

1. remove Plymouth hook from mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate initramfs
2. remove kernel parameter splash from /etc/default/grub and update grub
3. sudo pacman -Rsn plymouth

@Chrysostomus

Thank You!

@Chrysostomus

The fact that it got introduced as hard dependency was an accident.

Thanks for the clarification!

@Chrysostomus

Our gdm package includes the gdm-plymouth patch, we creates smoother transition from plymouth to gdm.

But it also introduces another point of failure in the boot chain, which really should be thought about if it’s worth doing that.

@Chrysostomus

The patched version actually works fine with plymouth last I checked.

My system booted to a TTY. What I’m trying to say is that, this may introduce more problems than it tries to solve.
Same as with TLP on Desktop machines, which regularly is a point for problems and makes it very hard to find the culprit.

Thank you for reporting! I guess separate vanilla gdm package is needed in that case.

EDIT:

gdm is now the same as upstream arch. gdm-plymouth is the patched version and has plymouth as hard dependency.

manjaro-settings-manager and other software depends on the old icu so this package: Arch Linux - icu 69.1-1 (x86_64) can’t be updated with pacman right now

Bump to icu 69.1 (#5) · Issues · Packages / Extra / manjaro-settings-manager

[openminded]

Pls do backups before updating icu and other packages…

We figured it out, thanks. It’s done with 0.5.6-13.

[bittin]

@pheiduck @nightmare-2021 that fixed it thanks

[notageek]

pacman-mirrors 4.21.3-2 works well now for me, the old speed is back…

Hello, any news about systemd 248? I was curious to try out systemd-oomd and this package is held back to 247 on testing and stable branches, compared to Arch (my laptop still has OOM issues sometimes despite the 32GB ram).

[philm]

We normally update systemd when at least a point-release came out. You can test it via unstable branch.

Why nvidia drivers want to downgrade from 465 to 460?

[Testing Update] 2021-04-23 - Kernels, Mesa 21.0.3, KDE Apps 21.04, KDE-Dev, Python, Haskell

Nvidia driver got downgraded to 460.73.01 [production branch release] as requested here. People who had already updated to 465 series need to do a sudo pacman -Syyuu to get the proper drivers, as some of our Kernels got updated again with this update pack.

Hi,

I see that gnome shell 40 is available in the extra repository of Arch Linux (see here). Does it means that it will be available soon in Manjaro ?

It will also be possible that a version of Dash to Dock for Gnome 40 will be release soon (see it).

So, Manjaro Gnome with Gnome 40 available in one or two weeks ?
