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?
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
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.
After the update 2020-08-22 I cannot play Urban Terror anymore. When I start the game (should start in full screen) only a black window opens with sound of game and whole desktop freezes. Then I must kill the game from console and when return back to desktop my resolution is changed (becomes much smaller) and consequently all opened windows are resized with parts off the screen. The issue is present on kernels 4.19 and 5.8 and I use XFCE DE with Nvidia-430xx-bumblebee GPU driver. I have never had before an issue with Urban Terror on Manjaro. I haven’t tested much other things after the update. SM Player and Firefox seem to work fine.
kernel 5.8 appears significantly faster / snappier / don’t know how to really test this.
Off-Question: With the ongoing discussion on grub, how do i know whether my system is susceptible? Does this apply to all grub users? What are the potential consequences of not doing the upgrade? I have a luks encrypted system and would not want to reinstall given all the time it takes to tweak the configuration.
I found that the problem is caused by some changes in the HDA Realtek code in the Linux kernel since version 5.7.10. These changes have also been extended to all LTS kernel versions.
At the moment there are 2 ways how to “temporarily” solve this problem:
Compile and install kernel 5.7.9
Compile any new kernel with a small patch, which somehow, but solves this problem (the patch needs to be customized for each laptop separately)
I’m currently trying to figure out exactly what change in the code caused this problem, but it will take some time.
I was told that exploitation of the grub issue requires local access to the machine. Is that a scenario you’re worried about?
On the other hand, chrooting into an encrypted Manjaro installation and re-installing grub was much less of a hassle than I had initially assumed. Quite the educational experience, too.
Not sure if related, but Still, KSystemLog “won’t start”/“won’t show up” after identifying with kdesu (or whatever it is nowadays). So I can’t verify if AppArmor was enabled before the installation. Hurray for binary log files.
After running it from the command line, I got this:
$ /usr/bin/ksystemlog -qwindowtitle KSystemLog
/usr/bin/ksystemlog: /usr/lib/libsystemd.so.0: version `LIBSYSTEMD_246' not found (required by /usr/bin/ksystemlog)
It doesn’t seem a permission problem. I tried running it as user and as root, with the same results.
5.7 kernel, 440x nvidia drivers, gnome. Update went smoothly with the exception of ventoy blocked the upgrade from moving forward after downloading all the updates and checking the keys the following message came up:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
ventoy: /opt/ventoy/tool/ash exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded
doing a sudo pacman -Rs ventoy left that ash file along with a few other files present so the upgrade still wouldn’t continue until I manually deleted the /opt/ventoy directory. This isnt’ the first time ventoy has had issues that block the upgrade from occurring I’m guessing this is an issue with the ventoy package. Anyway once the files where manually deleted the update proceeded fine. After I rebooted I re-added ventoy to my system.
I then removed the 440xx drivers via the manjaro settings (right click 440x drivers and selected remove). I had the gui show all the information and there were no errors or issues. I then clicked install 450xx drivers and everything installed without issues. I then rebooted and the new 450xx drivers seem to be working just fine. I also installed the 5.8 kernel as well and it seems to be working fine as well.
Thanks for all the hard work the team put into making this another smooth update.
