Hello, I’m running into some weird issues after updating the system 2 days ago after a very long time without using that computer, over a year.
Here are the issues I’m running into:
- The Backlight of the keyboard suddenly became really low no matter the setting, it stay the same, don’t get brighter, just turn off at 0, become low at minimum, stay the same until highest setting. I couldn’t find anything on that issue with gnome nor apple & the kde seems unrelated when I look in the terminal.
- My Speaker randomly stop working, quick work around I found out was to go into setting>sound, switch between the Built-in Audio & Digital Output to get back to the Built-in Audio then it work again, sometimes the Built-in Audio disappear, in those case I have to run “sudo pulseaudio -vvv” from terminal then reboot for it to come back but it randomly stop working & I have to go back to switching between Built-in & Digital to get sound again…
- Wifi suddenly stop working & won’t come back without restarting the computer. I have no clue what to do about it, drivers seems up to date, is it an apple issue? This issue unlike the first two isn’t new, it happened already before the last update.
- This one is really weird, not new either, happened before aswell, I looked into shortcut hoping it was it but it didn’t work. When I put my phone next to the touchpad, under the keyboard (below fn, ctrl, alt, cmd) or even just sometime with the palm on my hand going to the space on the keyboard, the computer just suddenly lock itself, would anyone have a clue what could be leading to this?
Issue 1 & 2 are new, since the update 2 days ago, issue 3 & 4 happened already before.
I’ve read that pipewire & pulse didn’t work well together but I didn’t install either of them, it came with the install, did one got added by the update? In any case I can’t remove either of them because of dependencies it says, so I don’t know…
I’ve been thinking of going with a fresh install of manjaro but honestly, it’s a triple boot, Mac > Windows > Linux, so Linux is always the autoboot, it runs with the Mac boot, if I re-install it’ll break Mac, which lead to a break of Windows & reinstalling Mac then Windows is a real hassle on this… (yes I’ve already gone throught it )
Here’s the inxi, what else would be needed to help me resolve that issue? I’m looking into the wiki & in topic in the forum but maybe I’m dumb because I can’t find a way to resolve those issue, the workaround I use can only work for so long… Thanks in advance…
