Installing xorgproto (2019.2-2) breaks dependency of a package

If you run into an issue because of xorgproto please DON'T follow the Arch suggestion as Manjaro uses the xorgproto-transfer package to make this automatic. If you have an issue, please report and wait for an update from us!

AUR Rebuilds required after updating python 3.7 to 3.8

Packages that depend on python from the AUR will need to be rebuilt after everything else has been updated. You can rebuild some of them with the following:

sudo pacman -S --needed --noconfirm expac yay
yay -S --rebuildtree $(pacman -Qmq $(expac %N python))

You can find other packages that need to be rebuilt by looking at the folders/files in

/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/

To find out what package owns a folder/file in that, you can use the following:

pacman -Qo folder_or_filename

If no package owns a file, it can probably be ignored.

Older issues

System Settings and kinfocenter crash when entering Night Color settings randomly

Remove entire [NightColor] section of ~/.config/kwinrc

xfce4-power-manager does not open / upower fails

Install kernel 4.14 or higher (4.14, 4.19, 5.2 [EOL], 5.3)

xfce4-terminal / guake / gnome-terminal does not open

Replace linux52 with community/linux-latest ?

linux52 is EOL and has been removed from the repositories. It will be replaced by a metapackage which will from now on keep you on a maintained kernel.

If you want to keep the old kernel and modules then include them in your pacman.conf's IgnorePkg.

Pamac-Qt is not compatible to 9.0 API of Pamac

Pamac Qt 0.3 pre-RC: Towards the release, needs help in testing

gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons

the pkgver 19.10.1 ship with an hook to remove the capability from gnome-shell. A message is present during install but essentially you need to reboot the system to show correctly the icons in the desktop. More info here

#4

Any problems with the update @weissbrot ?

#5

Mhm, one related to the vboxsf module i don't care about just now:

Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.19.91-1-MANJARO (x86_64)

#6

We use an older git-snapshot for that driver in linux419-virtualbox-guest-modules, so it is only an issue when you use dkms for that module.

#7

Which happens to be the case. :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

2late too.
Alles funzt. No problem(s).

#9

Ooops, already updated too.
No problem with VB and linux54. Didn't try with linux419.
All seems OK for now.

#11

I always check here first - so I will update next year :slight_smile:

#12

Too late… updated too but everything works fine.

#13

So only that vb-module is a issue together with kernel 4.19?

Nothing else?

I so want to update to get that sweet Mesa 19.3 and then use ACO!

#14

No Problems with KDE! --> THX!!!

But where can I leave my vote?

#15

No updated yet.
I was hoping darktable 3.0 available in this release.

#16

I have updated 3 computers:

  1. GUI XFCE: 520 MB update, went well.
  2. GUI KDE: 730 MB update, went well.
  3. GUI KDE with Nvidia graphics card, had to reboot via console (with reboot) after finishing the update process (1020 MB).

Thanks!

#17

Yes, Darktable 3.0 is included; look here:

#18
