After updating Manjaro in mid Jan 2024 chromium pictures displayed in various applications are intermittantly “overlayed” with a block of color. Not all pictures are effected, IE its a intermittant affect. Facebook appears to be the biggest problem, but if I click on the picture and open a tab the picture is totally correct.
Using firefox instead of chromium and the issue does not exist. What is chromium doing that manjaro display doesn’t like, that firefox isn’t using ?
Something like this…?
Well, something weird happened to me with this update. Installation this morning was successful, dbus-broker as default, kernel 6.6.10-1, restart, no errors, I can login, network ok, internet ok, it seemed another boring update. [1b]

First the screen was ok and as I move the mouse, suddenly this artifacts appear.
Reading newspapers with…
The culprit is Mesa 23.3.3. Restore the 30Dec 2023 snapshot and ignore Mesa updates with IgnorePkg:
You’re right. I restored again the timeshift snapshot from before the update, repeat all the update except these ten packages and after the reboot had no problem, no artifacts, VLC plays AVI again.
lib32-libva-mesa-driver-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-mesa-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-mesa-vdpau-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-vulkan-intel-1:23.3.3-1
lib32-vulkan-radeon-1:23.3.3-1
libva-mesa-driver-1:23.3.3-1
mesa-1:23.3.3-1
mesa-vdpau-1:23.3.3-1
vulkan-intel-1:23.3.3-1
vulkan-radeon-1:23.3.3-1
So I’ll include these packag…
Explain?
Sorry, the what? If someone did have a backup from that date and restored it, they would be in an unsupported, partial upgrade state.

Well, I was having a weird graphic issue as you can see in messages #30 , #50 , #51 and #52 at the 13-01 Stable Update thread. Asked @philm and he gave me the clue to the solution (look message #55 ).
Restoring last snapshot made before the 13-01 update and updating all but Mesa 23.3.3 worked for me. The issue was solved and had no stability issues since then. Another workaround was disabling browser hardware acceleration (with performance loss).
I’m not the only one with these issues:
Hi everyone,
This is beyond my abilities hope some of you could tell me how to fix this problem.
I installed Jan update and now the graphics are acting very weird. Images on web pages are now a solid colour[no image]. Also what appears to be tearing the overall display sometimes 1-2cm other a cross hatching of fine lines 1-2 mm.

The last big update (Jan 13) broke a VM running Manjaro. The system runs but the display is black with occasional bugged pieces of windows or icons appearing randomly. I could ssh into the VM to fix it.
I pinned down the issue to those packages:
mesa 1:23.3.3-1
lib32-mesa 1:23.3.3-1
Using an older LTS kernel (6.1) doesn’t help. Rolling back to the previous mesa version (1:23.1.9-1) fixes everything.
The host is Win10 (i7 8700k, nvidia 1080ti). VMWare 17 workstation player. VM is Manjaro Cinn…
Another problem detected is VideoLAN VLC, with Mesa 23.3.3 installed doesn’t play AVI files (black screen) and had to change hardware acceleration mode.
Whatever video i try to run on vlc, just blackscreens on me. The audio plays normally, the video track is correct, but the vieo output is black. I suspect this might be some driver error. This issue seems to persist in any video format be it mp4, mkv or even m3u8. mpv player shows no such signs though.
This is what i got after running a video on vlc via terminal:

Reloaded 30Dec2023 clonezilla backup of Manjaro partition and upgraded all updates from mid Jan 2024 except Mesa 1:23.1.9-1 to 1.23.3.3-1 and Mesa-vdpau 1:23.1.9-1 to 1:23.3.3-1 and picture problem has been resolved.

@philm from Manjaro Team gave me the clue:
@Arrababiski seems mesa is not your friend. What GPU you’re using?
Reading Mesa’s forum there are more people with similar problems.
I use archlinux, mesa 1:23.3.1-1, mesa-vdpau 1:23.3.1-1, libvdpau-va-gl 0.4.2-3, libva-mesa-driver 1:23.3.1-1, my graphic card is a radeon HD4650 Pcie (RV730, UVD 2.2). I notice...
I’ve read somebody telling Mesa 24.0 solves the issue. Until then, I have this line in pacman.conf to avoid all the 23.3.3 packages:
IgnorePkg = lib32-libva-mesa-driver lib32-mesa lib32-mesa-vdpau lib32-vulkan-intel lib32-vulkan-radeon libva-mesa-driver mesa mesa-vdpau vulkan-intel vulkan-radeon
I’m on a gagabyte ga-990fx-ud3 motherboard with a cheap radeon video card. I’m not a gamer, so only need a pcb to drive a 1920x1080 screen.
I did not have timeshift or backup for Jan update and now trying to follow downgrade mesa 1:23.3.3-1 and mesa-vdpau 1:23.3.3-1 as suggested in this post.
pacman -Q mesa 1:23.3.3-1 and mesa-vdpau 1:23.3.3-1
Then
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa 1:23.3.3-1
[sudo] password
loading packages...
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa': could not find or read package
error: '1:23.3.3-1': could not find or read package
It is clear [to me] that I don’t know what I’m doing. All input welcome.

Is manjaro-downgrade installed? No? - install it.
DOWNGRADE_FROM_ALA=1 sudo downgrade mesa
…pick your poison.

Mesa upgrade are ten packages, I think it’s better downgrading all them to keep all packages at v23.1.9 and avoiding a mix of 23.1.9 and 23.3.3 files.

Wollie, struggling to figure out how to post files of your requested info. “inxi” is a large text file and don’t want to clutter this incident in the forum. Can I just post a file ? Or do I have to post the actual text ? If file how to do ?

First things first, please upate your system.
Also, verify if there is an update for your firmware.
Try to switch to amdgpu driver:

Update my system to what ?
F3 is the latest motherboard firmware (Bios) available.
What is the advantage or reason for attempting to switch to amdgpu ?
Yes, I have as you can see this is a very old laptop but until the Jan update was working fine.

You should install Timeshift. If you make a snapshot just before an update, undoing changes means only five minutes.
Thanks, I know about timeshift. I have enough space to save multiple copies using clonezilla which gives me generational backups.
