First of all, I’m not a linux expert, I’m trying to figure out as I go but sometimes it’s more than I can handle.
I’ve been trying to get a manjaro 6.1 (Talos) to work for about a week now. Previously I had a 5.15 installation which worked fine but when I formatted and upgraded, errors started happening.
This manjaro is one of the guest OSs of an arch host.
The problems started when I first installed manjaro 6.1, I selected the open source drivers, which when I booted the OS made all my cores get stuck on 100%, slowly, one by one, and the applications started to freeze one by one until the system was absolutely unusable and I had to force shutdown the guest OS on the host. This happened when I was cloning a huge repo which was the whole reason for that guest OS existing.
Then I formatted that partition and reinstalled manjaro using the proprietary drivers, which worked perfectly and seemed to have fixed the whole issue. I was able to clone the repo and start working on it. Until I started having problems with baloo-file-extractor
which hogged the system’s memory like it was the only relevant process. Many other people seem to have had enough with it and suggested a forced manual removal of all baloo-related files, which made me run:
sudo find / -type f -name '*baloo*' -delete
After that manjaro was running like the wind. That’s when I deleted the repo and tried cloning it again (may have been a mistake but I needed to be sure). And that brought all the problems back up again. One by one, each core explode to 100% and stay stuck forever. Applications one by one get stuck too, even the network manager.
So I don’t know anymore what is the problem. nvidia? baloo? git? the manjaro/plasma mix?
Can anybody shed any kind of light on this? I’m starting to lose my hair over this.
Here is some helpful info (if you need anything else please let me know):
