Hello everyone,
Today, I reinstalled my Manjaro system, which had been running smoothly for what feels like a decade for daily use. And in the end, it was completely unnecessary. I thought I’d share this here in case someone else encounters similar issues since I couldn’t find anything about it in the forum.
I mostly use Flatpak applications on my system these days, and after today’s system update to Flatpak 1.15.11, I suddenly couldn’t install or update any applications anymore.
The issue was confirmed on GitHub two days ago for version 1.15.11. (Release 1.15.12 · flatpak/flatpak · GitHub)
The actual error is:
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) flatpak update
In dmesg you can only see:
[ 2304.980127] flatpak[10039]: segfault at 0 ip 0000727e0a13b39d sp 00007ffd63107058 error 4 in libc.so.6[16f39d,727e09ff0000+171000] likely on CPU 10 (core 4, socket 0)
Solution:
Just download the manjaro-downgrade package and upgrade the package.
pamac install manjaro-downgrade
sudo manjaro-downgrade flatpak
In the menu just select the newer version 1.15.12 (You don’t need to downgrade)
After this everything works fine again.
At least I know now that my memory is totally fine (memtest) and my Manjaro is fresh again
Cheers
PS: Oh, and thanks to all the developers and contributors, by the way! Keep up the great work!
