How to enable smooth-bootup

These steps are only needed when not using any Manjaro 18.0-beta-7 or higher install media.

install linux418 or linux419
install grub-quiet
reinstall grub to MBR (Attention: use the correct cmd for your system!)
- EFI: sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
- BIOS: sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sd[X] (change [X] for your device letter. Check via lsblk -f)
reboot to see if all is still booting fine
check that you have loglevel=3 vga=current rd.systemd.show_status=auto rd.udev.log-priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0 in /etc/default/grub under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and may remove any background settings
sed -i -e 's|fsck||g' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub
reboot your system

Known issues and solutions

This is a wiki post; please edit as necessary.
Please, consider subscribing to the Stable Updates Announcements RSS feed

I can't open Nemo with elevated privileges (as root)

Workaround found: Use the dbus-x11 package instead of the regular dbus package. This package is available in the official repositories and provides dbus compiled without the --without-x option.

To replace dbus with dbus-x11 package, simply install dbus-x11 with your favorite package manager: dbus will be replaced by dbus-x11.

Pamac: "Failed to commit transaction - Transaction not prepared" at the end

So far, it has only been a false alarm: updates are applied successfully.

Items from previous update sets

AMD-Ucode introduction

Unless you've already done this previously, All users of AMD-APUs/CPUs should install this update like this:

sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo pacman -S amd-ucode
sudo pacman -R intel-ucode
sudo update-grub

Step 3 is optional.

Rebuilding fontconfig cache: failed to write cache

Please ignore this message. Upstream already works on a solution. More about the issue here.

LibreOffice has no window decoration in KDE

New line export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3_kde5, once merged into existing /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh , fixes a moderately longterm issue. If it doesn't work for you, you may use gtk instead of gtk3_kde5 as UI framework.

Installing glibc (2.28-4) breaks the dependency “glibc=2.27” required by lib32-glibc

Install the update either:

from terminal: sudo pacman -Syu or;
with Octopi instead of Pamac.

Something using Perl/Python/glibc broke

Rebuilds needed!

If it's an AUR package, try to reinstall it from AUR. It most likely needs to be rebuilt.
If it's a repo package, please report and check back regularly for updates.

I've lost a Thunderbird addon/feature

Thunderbird 60 disables incompatible addons by default. There's an about:config switch should you want to force-enable the addon, but many addons simply will not work with the newer Quantum-based Thunderbird.

Read more about Thunderbird 60 here: Thunderbird 60

Firefox - WebGL not working anymore

You may try the following solution:

Open about:config and set security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist to /sys/.

libutf8proc>=2.1.1-3 update may require manual intervention

This should normally be automatically fixed via manjaro-system update.

The libutf8proc package prior to version 2.1.1-3 had an incorrect soname link. This has been fixed in 2.1.1-3, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked soname link created by ldconfig. If you get an error

libutf8proc: /usr/lib/libutf8proc.so.2 exists in filesystem

when updating, use


pacman -Suy --overwrite usr/lib/libutf8proc.so.2

to perform the upgrade.

Pamac: "Invalid or corrupted package."

If you receive an "Invalid or corrupted package." error message with Pamac and if the details contains an output similar to the following:

Issues with folder view widget in KDE v5.13

KDE introduced a new setting for icon sizes. Now you're able to define also the size for your panel. If you have a high-DPI display, you may want to increase the value. This will fix the display issue with given widget.

icon-kde-513

Pulseaudio changes

With this update we have a /etc/pulse/default.pa.pacnew. It may be necessary to merge (some lines related to “GSettings” in /etc/pulse/default.pa ) if 'default.pa' has been customised.

thunar-archive-plugin has added native support for the Engrampa archive manager. engrampa-thunar-plugin is no longer needed. Remove engrampa-thunar-plugin to continue with the update.

Momentan ist es nicht möglich, bei KDE Programm- oder Fensterregeln (Individuelles Fensterverhalten) festzulegen. Die Einstellungen lassen sich nicht speichern.

Edit: Wie ich gerade merke, sind Systemklänge (Warnmeldungen etc.) stumm, obwohl der Sound wie gewohnt funktioniert.

Make just a symbolic link, we have did it on Manjaro TNV ISOS

Elrondo46 · 22 October 2018 05:25

just link in your .config: marco-compton.conf to compton.conf. Easy
Result when you modify or open marco-compton.conf, in real, you open/modify compton.conf

Have error on this :

loglevel=3 vga=current rd.systemd.show_status=auto rd.udev.log-priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0

need :

quiet loglevel=3 vga=current rd.systemd.show_status=auto rd.udev.log-priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0

Perhaps it is more explicit to say that we must "quiet" in front of?
no quiet see all in boot but no see my logo have only a black screen and a little error for resume my hibernation volume.

I updated at once last three updates, so I'm not sure if this is because of this update or any of the previous two.

After the update(s), I cannot see any window!

It gets opened (I see it in task bar) but all I see it is just a desktop. I can blindly click or move the window, but nothing changes - everything is invisible!
Please help, I don't know how to solve this.

XFCE 4.14

liberodark · 22 October 2018 07:36

Switch 4.18 to 4.19 is ok a see a logo

I can't upgrade my system because my kernel is not found (Linux 4.14.77-1).
Moreover i cannot change kernels because of an nvidia-utils outdated package that i can't upgrade because i am running Linux 4.14.77-1.

How can I update without having to reinstall the whole system from scratch ?

Thanks

Romain

Screencasts/Screenrecords (with simplescreenrecorder, recordmydesktop, vlc) don't work properly if you use compton, or compiz.
Don't work on KDE, Cinnamon too.
Seems to be manjaro related, because working as intended on Linux Mint with different desktops.

@philm - Is there a webpage under manjaro.org where the supported kernels are listed or can be listed if it is not already? So that everybody can keep an eye whenever they want? And maybe you just have to link it to this Stable updates forum post?
I feel this will make it easy for you guys. And since it is the list of Kernels which is supported by Manjaro, it also is a good thing to be listed somewhere in the the manjaro.org website. What do you think?

TechnikHiLL · 22 October 2018 08:59

No issues with the update! Smooth as usual. Thanks peeps!

DE: XFCE.
Kernel(s): linux414 & linux49.

It's already listed in Manjaro Settings Manager and each update on News page (https://manjaro.org/news/).

oguzkagan · 22 October 2018 09:17

After the update, I restarted my computer. One time it froze but I shut down and reopened it, there is no problem.

TechnikHiLL · 22 October 2018 09:22

Ufff! That is true! I completely forgot about that!
OK. I redact my request!
Thanks @xfix!

A bit more info, maybe it will help somebody to narrow things down:

I can see Settings Manager, and I can see loading scrrens of e.g. Libre Office or Gimp. But when the main window should appear, everything is back to invisible.

I've also tried 4.9 kernel. Didn't help.
Tried switching to the testing branch, but there was nothing to update.

I don't even know where to start looking for a potential problematic package.

EDIT: I've found it. There is some problem with Compton. When I kill Compton, my windows are visible.

I found the offender: in the opacity settings of Compton, both "default opacity of inactive windows" and "default opacity for active windows" were set to 0.00!
