Gnome 3.18 has been released and I would like to ask:
- No need for a new install, an Antergos upgrade will do it ?
- Does Antergos plan its availability pretty soo ?
Gnome3.18 availability
Gnome 3.18 has been released and I would like to ask:
gnome 3.18 will be on “Extra” very soon.
check here when it’s available

It’s already there. Just updated :)
Well, it is here but with many compatibility issues and I am not sure I really got all the benefit of it.
What I know for sure is that many extensions don’t work anymore and, on my laptop, libreoffice doesn’t launch anymore…
I don’t recommend to update yet. I plan to do a fresh install within a month to clean the mess up.
EDIT : changing GTK theme from numix to adwaita solved the Libreoffice issue (as recommended in another post). Still,doesn’t solve the broken extension issue. I don"t have the touchpad and backlight sensor feature neither.
With each Gnome update, problems with extensions arise. You have to be patient to wait for the extensions’ developers to update their code to the new Gtk release.
@squid-f that’s strange, here Libreoffice works fine with the default numix-frost-light gtk in 3.18. As for the gnome extensions, I only have 1 incompatible extension (the others work fine), so I asked the developer to support 3.18 and he started working on it. Try doing the same :)
@knightfall Hi
For the Libreoffice issue, look here : link to Antergos forum post
Might not be connected to Gnome 3.18 though
Extension wise, gno-menu, taskbar and trash are the ones I use and still not compatible yet.
When I updated to Gnome 3.18, I got a kernel panic at the end. So, I am afraid a fresh install might be needed later on to clean everything up. I might be a be paranoid but it has saved me sometimes to time ;)
@squid-f I think you’re right. Nothing bad happened when I updated, but today I tried doing a fresh install and I saw some weird behaviour from gdm and others. I think I’ll follow your example and wait for a while.
