[Stable Update] 2020-08-22 - Kernels, Deepin, KDE-git, Firefox, Pamac, Nvidia 450, KDE Apps 20.08

Using kernel 5.8 make some games lagging with Wine/Proton. Maybe it’s related to this :thinking:
Meanwhile, i stay with 5.7.15

The update went without any problem on ASUS ROG integrated intel/nvidia GPU laptop.
But the issue of sound is still looming. The speakers and bluetooth headset are working, but the 3.5 jack headsets are not working on the gnome. If anyone else knows the fix, pls do share. I have tried killing pulseaudio and setting alsa-base.conf modprobe files.

apologies if it looks like im hijacking the post. I think many other fellow asus rog users are having similar problems with the sound. :slightly_smiling_face:

New problem since this update. With my Dual Shock 3 I have this error :

[10247.850493] usb usb4-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

It worked fine before. For safety I tested with another cable, and I still have the same issue.

Update : The problem is not exactly the controller but the USB 3.0 hub. The error disables the controller though. Anyway this hub always worked before the update…

Still having problems building dkms modules for network interfaces:
Seems there is a struct sha256 defined twice in the dkms / rtl source codes. for Kernel 5.8.x

KDE Plasma kernel 5.4.58.

Update & reboot smooth on my end. I’m using an Intel HD-630 integrated graphics card so no problems with NVIDIA drivers… :slightly_smiling_face:

Already my second update!

On reboot, I lost my (wired) connection. New reboot, no change. I tried to change my kernel, without effect. I put back the 5.8 and then, miracle, I recovered my connection. More fear than harm, finally (I hope so, at least).

Cuando se bloquea la sesión de usuario por inactividad luego de intentar ingresar el sistema no reconoce la clave del usuario, que puedo hacer en este caso ?

A post was merged into an existing topic: Toolbox icon colors and identification

ksystemlog is compiled against systemd 246 series. We didn’t update to that series yet. Let us see how far our tests went and if we can update systemd. Issue is only minimal.

Are the bluetooth issues fixed in this version of the 5.8 kernel? TIA.

A post was split to a new topic: Boot issues on an iMac 12,2

Thanks! I tried everything and this is the only way you can remove the 440xx (or even the 450xx) drivers.

I did try again and you could actually install the hybrid graphics once you install first video-modesetting, both via tty but the problem was even it says that it’s removing the 440xx or 450xx drivers, it really wasn’t and it was throwing a script error like some here. So yes, you need to manually remove the old drivers first via pacman or pamac. Weird behavior.

Does anyone know why GnuCash 4.1 has been left out of the last 2 stable updates? It was released on 7/26, almost a month ago, and was just a bug-fix release in the new 4.x series. Seems like it would be an easy send through.

Is there somewhere I can check to see status / get answers on package questions like this?

Same issue for me as reported here Sound from speakers no sound from 3.5mm jack-audio

as i attempt to run this update it is prompting me to install mhwd-nvidia-450xx. i run a AMD system and have amdgpu running. i recently moved to AMDGPU…is mhwd-nvidia part of the default install and im just now noticing? i usually skim through what gets updated and have never seen this before… thoughts?

havent ran update yet…want to get this answered first

Updating went smooth.

Faced some minor issues when upgrading to nvidia 450xx drivers

  • Un-installation of nvidia 440xx driver was not straightforward as it required removal of package ‘linux-latest-nvidia-440xx’ using pacman
  • After uninstall (of 440), the installation of 450xx was success but it was not loaded on reboot so had to reinstall 450xx driver & then added below config to /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
    Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
    Rebooted again & it worked

I had no issues during the update although it did pull in an additional Nvidia driver. This is odd because I don’t have an Nvidia GPU. I’m on a Syster76 Darter Pro, which has integrated graphics only.

Still having the problem described here:

i got the same…i use AMDGPU

Because Arch just updated it to 4.1 today. It’s now in the Manjaro unstable repo and will be in the next stable update.
