[Unstable Update] March 2024 Edition

S’okay, s’alright. I appreciate you providing feedback. :+1:

By the way, I installed KDE in a VM via yesterday’s daily ISO, updated and mostly everything was okay. Yes, the Manjaro Breath themes are broken. I’ve added a note to the Known Issues in the first post.

…'course, I don’t really know what to test as KDE is an overly complicated strange beast to me. I like to keep things simple with GNOME. :man_shrugging:

In Plasma 6, libreoffice doesn’t scale correctly on 1400p monitor. The thing is, the scaling that Plasma does is doubled on LO, so we have humongous icons, text, UI. Previously it was doing OK.

OK, found the culprit, but I’m not sure how to fix it. LO opens with qt-5, hence the scaling issue.
Unfortunately, using:

env SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt6 libreoffice

is not fixing it.

Found some temporary solution. This works:

env SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 libreoffice

or… use flatpack version, which is more convenient, because adding variables to LO is a PITA.

Updating to plasma 6 broke Manjaro Breath theme.
No biggie, system still runs fine, but SDDM obv looked like a**, and icons and colors are a bit mixed up.

Well, there is a troubleshoot section …

I’m fine, I am informing that it happened, I just use another theme.

For Plasma 6 Wayland + only AMD users

Check some issues that could be fixed manually:

Manjaro settings section is not present in Plasma 6 settings.

manjaro-zsh-config might need updating, since my shell looks like this after the update. No profile or colour setting changes made the icons or text reappear

It’s Manjaro Breath profile that’s broken, if you create a new profile it will look fine

You may need to report this here: GitHub - romkatv/powerlevel10k-media: Media files for powerlevel10k
as this might be an issue on font rendering in the terminal. @romkatv

Thanks. I tried making a new profile, but that doesn’t seem to help :thinking:
Even tried a different appearance than Breath.

@Jaypee please check:

Konsole: Open Settings → Edit Current Profile → Appearance,
click Select Font and select MesloLGS NF Regular.

I remember reading a post somewhere that Manjaro Settings needs to be updated for Plasma 6 but I can’t find it now.

For SDDM / KDE users

If you want to update today, you will see a black screen after reboot :wink:

This only happens in the Manjaro unstable branch, other Arch distros are not affected.

SDDM failed ...

Just use TTY to downgrade llvm-libs. And wait for a new version of mesa.

Shouldn’t be the case anymore as @Yochanan pushed the rebuild mesa packages. If repos synced it will be delivered to you :wink:

plasma-systemmonitor 6.0.1 has empty charts, I’m not sure but may be because of kquickcharts 6.0.0
