I have update phobia . EVERYTIME i update/ upgrade on manjaro or other arch based os, i faced breakage somewhere. i have really phobia of it… although i know i can’t escape from upgrade.
My last upgrade , broke mpv on the other desktop, and messed my locale setting, and changed by login shell ( from bash to zsh) … i have not yet know or have time to fix it.
Can you share with me what’s your problem after the last 3 updates ? just want know the issue… if it is any thing similar to mine… .But it is ok if you wish not to tell me…
I tried with mplayer for the same file. the cpu chart is like peak medium peak… not constantly peaking like smplayer.

**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
- Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
- Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
- Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
- Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
- Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
- Try -nocache.

I did read it ; it said my system is too slow. but i doubt that. Will try in windows7 which is in another partition to compare to see if hardware is the bottle neck.
As for the rest of the text, i don’t understand much (not much help from duckduckgo too).
Try to read man mpv, , saw a lot of -vo in the man, but it also does not describe what is -vo.
What does -vo means ? is it “video option” ?
-ao ? “audio option” ?
I have no experience on video related issue at all so far.
I understand better by example. If you would show me a few example of the suggested workaround, i can pick up easier.
There are so much unfamiliar terms and abbreviation … i simply can’t understand.
didnt read the whole thread sorry, but i recommend mpv over mplayer, given you have configured the hardware acceleration stack (subject to availability in your hardware) only required switch is --hwdec=auto
I was reading the article trying to digest what it said, since the whole page is about hardware acceleration, which might be very relevant .
Thinking do a whole system update/upgrade with pacman -Syu first, then i can try out one by one according to wiki page.
After reboot:
This screen welcomes me!.
Btw, just to clarify, i only have 1 manjaro tab opened in firefox and 1 terminal opened during system update… how much more careful can it get ? And people still said “all because of mismanagement of user that system break”…
You can have your web browser opened, and your terminal only, this has nothing to do with your issue. Give your pacman log for this last update to see what went wrong. Did you accept all the replacement Pacman probably asked you, from all the Breath theme things? And yes I second what has been said in the other thread (right? that’s what you’re referring to I suppose), most issues are because of people not managing properly their system, holding updates for long time, not reading the current issues and solutions in the update announcement threads, things like that, and regarding this issue you had, I think that’s exactly your case, previous Stable update, they replaced Breath theme, there is also an issue/solution exactly about that:
SDDM shows wrong/default theme
Solution:
Set SDDM theme to Breath in System Settings / Startup and Shutdown / Login Screen (SDDM).
That one will switch your terminal to default to bash. Also might be best to confirm you have bash located at that point with
chsh -l
Which will list all available shells.
Alternatively you can also temporarily switch to a different shell by simply calling it.
bash
zsh
type exit to exit back to default shell.
The reason you got switched to zsh is because Manjaro switched to zsh as a default. I saw people talking about it on the forums not too long ago. It never affected me because I had already switched to Fish long ago as my default and apparently it only affected those who were using the default and never changed anything.
We covered the terminal issue in the other thread, and specifically for KDE this is wrong, chsg will change the login shell, not Konsole’s shell. Konsole has its own setting for the shell, for each Konsole profile.
Thanks for telling me a command option i didn’t know. Appreciate it.
Yes, Thanks Omano for this help. I have being struggling with chsh -s for a long time, confused why other ppl said this works but it does not work on mine… Only from your last night help that i know “TTY & ssh” and Terminal emulator are having 2 diff way of shell setting.
I don’t know about other terminal emulator, to me it is really specific to Konsole in KDE, I think other standard terminal emulator use the ‘login shell’ that you can define with cgsh
you have a system with the nvidia and the integrated intel-graphics. actually you’re using the intel-graphics that must compute everything with the cpu.
