I finally pulled the trigger on replacing my ChromeOS completely with Manjaro using the Mrchromebox script. Other than some glitching getting the audio to work correctly, everything runs great.

For the first two years I had this chromebook (Asus 433 flip) I thought that it wasn't worth the risk and that running the debian container via Crostini was plenty good enough.

Well it turns out that:

• A. No...it wasn't much of a risk at all. It was actually really smooth, including disconnecting the battery to disable the hardware write protect. I honestly don't know what I was worried about. and

• B. I may have thought Crostini was good enough. But man oh man...it's a night and day difference having Linux running natively on this old girl rather than through a container that had to boot up every time I use the first linux app of the day.

Anyway. Just wanted to share. Been using Manjaro on pretty much all of my computers for years, and now I can take the "pretty much" away and just say "all of them."

I am absolutely stumped and hoping someone can help me. I'm on Gnome 46, kernel 6.8, Mesa 24

When running in Wayland, dark mode works without any issue. But unfortunately, xwayland is throwing up some issues with resized game windows and mouse captures only working in the upper left quadrant of the screen. So I switched over to "Gnome on Xorg".

Dark mode works for apps like Firefox, but none of my GTK4 apps change from light-to-dark.

I've reset my dconf using dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ and I've deleted gtk-4.0, gtk-3.0 folders from .config, I've tried to delete every file or folder in .config .local that may interfere with this, but no luck.

Over on Reddit, someone recommended installing gnome-themes-extra which has been installed on my system for a long while. Reinstalled, but made no difference.

I created a separate user and logged in. Everything works without a problem (X11 or Wayland). So there's definitely something in my current user folder not working.

The bizarre thing is that once I log back into my main user, after logging in as the other temp user, things work and I can switch between light and dark mode without a problem.

If anyone could help, I would be so, so very grateful! I'm reaching the point where I think I should just nuke my user folder and start from scratch, but since I don't know where the issue is lurking, I don't want to lose all my settings either, nor copy them over...

More discussion on the forum: Has the Mate DE been removed from the site?

Hi there. I installed Manjaro on a new laptop, like I did on the previous one, just using default options with Gnome.

However when I connect my Bluetooth headset, I have used on the previous laptop, it seems that I temporary loose the Bluetooth connection during gaming via Steam. After some seconds, the audio comes back again automatically.

Has someone a idea where to start investigation the issue?

All good to me. What about you, did you face any bugs?

I have never used pacman hooks before. But i wonder, if they are also executed, when i use pamac. Is this the case?

Hi all,

I recently got a new graphics card and am now enjoying a Radeon 7800XT after upgrading from my 5700XT.

I'm keen to move to the latest Mesa, but Manjaro Unstable (which I thought mirrored Arch very closely) is refusing to budge from Mesa 23.1.9

The reason being that 23.2 hasn't yet had a point-release.

I've tried mesa-git, found it to be quite buggy (not unexpected, it's 24.0-dev) so I went back to 23.1.9

Does anyone know of any way to get 23.2 or 23.3 going, since they've been officially released, but Manjaro rather arbitrarily decides this particular package update won't be included in the unstable branch?

(There are plenty of other packages in Unstable that don't have a point release either, so I would like some choice here, rather than stay on drivers that don't carry the full RTX improvements of later Mesa, which suddenly, on my new graphics card, I care about!)

Found this over on kbin what's everyone's thought on this release?

Since some updates, the background image on the GDM login screen is only displayed for a blink second and then disappears for a complete black background.

Is there any fix or workaround available?

The problem is this, when i'm playing these two games in particular, after 15 or 20 minutes the wi-fi completely disappear, no wi-fis being displayed and if i try to turn off and back on it freezes until i wait a couple of seconds for it to unfreeze. The heck is this? I'm using kde manjaro

I've checked the system time in the BIOS and the OS time in Manjaro--both are correct (that is, both correctly set to my time zone: PDT). But whenever I go to a website that displays the time (Google Voice, Cronometer.com) I get a time stamp that seems to be UTC +7 hours from my PDT location.

I don't know what else to check or change.

Since the last update, there is a issue with GDM, where a set wallpaper disappear after a small second.

Is there some fix for this available?

Should I do a clean install of Manjaro to avoid issues? I also don't want leftovers from Radeon's software.

What am i doing wrong? Rufus is for windowze...

• KDE iso
• Gnome iso
• xfce iso

!

ISOs are finally up + proper thread. Release is already out since 2 days or so.

!

Release is actually out since 2 days or what, but the ISOs are now uploaded and the links are actually working.

Not even in its final form...

!Kernel

I'm on Fedora 32 with kernel 5.8.4-200-fc32-x86_64 and have this problem too.

Been having trouble using apples airpods pro on manjaro linux it's seems like when they do wanna connect no audio goes through them. Does anyone know how to set them up or if linux even has support for them?

for those Manjaro lovers
