[Stable Update] 2020-09-11 - Kernels, Gnome 3.36.6, MHWD, Pamac, VirtualBox

After this update my onboard ethernet was dead, but that was presumably just a coincidence. Luckily my parts bin had an Intel Pro/1000 board, which is anyway better than the Realtek.

libnautilus-extension-typeahead is only useful on GNOME with nautilus-typeahead. It includes a patch for find as you type.

Auf meinem Desktop 1 alles ok.

Please open a separate issue for that here and please also provide the usual diagnostics.

Phil pulled an all-nighter apparently… :grin:

Not sure what doesn’t work.
As I log in to the desktop(XFCE), I got the message: “Unable to get connection to the message bus seassion. Connection refused”.
Should I open another issue?

Opend: "Unable to get connection to the message bus session" after login

Cinnamon, 5.4, update was good. Thanks for your efforts.

Stable as a rock! A flawless update.
KDE, nvidia 450.66, kernel 5.4 LTS

Great job
Thanks for the hard work

I create a post for my issue:

Thanks in advance for the help


From the announce above:

I got this error:

sudo usermod --append --groups virtualbox $USER
usermod: group 'virtualbox' does not exist

@bogdancovaciu is helping me there…


And this is the solution :trophy: (Thanks to @bogdancovaciu):

I’m not able to get to the login screen after this update. could it be my old 340 nvidia driver?
I’m able to ctrl+alt f2, but going back to f1, it’s just a black screen

Did you try ctrl+alt+F7?

Yeah. Not working.
Trying to remove nvidia drivers

Edit:
Yeah, remove nvidia drivers solved it… guess i cant use 340 drivers no more?

Nope, 340 series is still supported:

mhwd --listall | grep 340
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-340xx--bumblebee            2019.10.25               false            PCI
    video-nvidia-340xx            2019.10.25               false            PCI

Cannot boot after update. Getting Failed to Load Kernel Extensions error during boot and get put into Emergency Mode command line.

Edit: Booted into alternate kernel 5.7, which booted fine. Then proceeded to reinstall kernel 5.8. Rebooted into 5.8 fine afterwards. Issue resolved.

No issues here. XFCE via TTY.

Had some issues with this one, video stopped working, lost network, and lm_sensors.service fails.

Network:
adapter is a Realtek RTL8111H gigabit ethernet controller. The kernel driver wasn’t being loaded, fixed by:

modprobe r8169  

Then reinstalled drivers later via the GUI once graphics were re-established (this seems to have installed r8168).

Graphics:
Prior to this update, I had already installed nvidia 450xx. It seems like the cause of this issue was that linux58-nvidia-450xx was not installed in the update from kernel 57 to kernel 58, I fixed this by running

sudo mhwd -f -i pci video-nvidia-450xx  

haven’t solved the lm_sensors issue yet, since it is less critical, I will do that when I get the time, if anyone has any suggestions, the error is:

systemd[1]: Starting Initialize hardware monitoring sensors...
sensors[590]: No sensors found!
sensors[590]: Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
sensors[590]: Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
systemd[1]: lm_sensors.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: lm_sensors.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start Initialize hardware monitoring sensors.  

I have run sensors-detect, and it made no difference.
Edit: fixed, linux58-headers was not installed and so the zenpower module was not updated.

Clean the cache:

pamac clean --keep 0
pamac clean --build-files

and try again.

Try removing lm_sensors and purging the configuration files:

pamac remove --no-save lm_sensors

reboot, reinstall and detect again:

sudo reboot
pamac install lm_sensors
sensors_detect

If that doesn’t do the trick, open a new issue here and link to this post.
