what symptom was it? canāt count how many blackscreen type of issues now appear, but i try softer methods first:
plasmeshell --replace
kwin_x11 --replace
and the brand new loginctl unlock-sessions which is able to recover all apps. I donāt kill apps anymore and i have tons of nvidia issues.
recently noticed this issue of frozen desktop with mouse moving. Itās as easy to replicate as pressing Win+L. I found this in KDE Neon, Kubuntu Groovy, and now Manjaro. All of them have same recent plasma+framework. Also windows get not only emptied as before, but transparent.
The good news is yesterday update of Groovy Beta brought the fix! (and no, eventcalendar didnāt make difference).
```
mhwd --install pci Your450Family
```
where `Your450Family` is obviously one of `video-hybrid-amd-nvidia-440xx-prime` **OR** `video-nvidia-440xx` that you noted above
just how do I know what āfamilyā I have?
By the way, none of the utils are on my systemā¦is that normal?
[melissa@Avalon ~]$ pacman -Q nvidia-450xx-utils
error: package 'nvidia-450xx-utils' was not found
[melissa@Avalon ~]$ pacman -Q nvidia-440xx-utils
error: package 'nvidia-440xx-utils' was not found
Has mbb solved your question?? corectrl is similar to cpu-x - but give more details of your system,
its a graphical tool, most puritans like inxi on the command-lineā¦
Same here, xfce, autologin stopped working since the last update. Did you manage to fix it?
I followed all the steps here from the archlinux wiki (I am not allowed to post links) but to no avail.
I even did a fresh install in a Virtual Machine and compared /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/pam.d/lightdm between the VM installation and my installation and they were exactly the same.
Hi. Iām newly registered to this forum. Using manjaro from thee or four years now, had managed to setup āexternal user datasā so upgrade are easy and reinstall also thank to link from home to data disk.
I regularly reinstall from scratch with no issue, especially when rounded stable versions are out, or when system need to fresh up following numerous software install for testing .
Thatās what i just done from stable version 20.0 and I experience big trouble : impossible to proceed complete upgrade from first connection : packman displays several errors concerning its own uptade. Then if reboot : kernel canāt be found.
So I tried to download this new stable install, but USB boot creator has been removed from default install package. I am thus now blocked with no solution in a vicious circleā¦ No update from packman and no software install possible.
Why canāt one choose to stay with given stable version, and install āoldā versions software from repository?
The whole point of a rolling-release distro such as Manjaro is to always be up-to-date. There is no need to reinstall in order to get the latest version of everything, since you are always at the latest version, granted you regularly update your system.
Regarding the broken pacman update, it is likely due to the change in packaging format since 20.0 was released ā weāre at 20.1.1 now. See the notice in the announcement:
Thanks for your reply.
Indeed I know what is the purpose of a rolling release, that is the theoryā¦
Thus, in reality, sometimes (mainly every year after summer vacations), manjaro, and linux in a more extend, encounter some turbulence due to new protocols, formats and experiences, and maybe due to less assiduity from developers and usersā¦ In that cases, added to a personnal tendency to add much more softwares that i need on my machine, creating sometimes overload of dependencies or unbalanced settings, i like to reset all the three parallel systems installed (one main and two backup in case of crash, which sometimes happen, but not so much last months).
I hope you understand that being not connected to a permanent internet connection, iād like to get some data friendly setup, especially if i have to experiment unknown functionnality.
Then, honestly I fear that Manjaro may not be the right choice. A better one may be a system with a stable base (for KDE Users Neon comes into my mind, as also Neon user I would say while Neon is more data friendly than Manjaro, exactly data friendly it is still not). I guess CentOS will provide data friendly computing very much.
The baseline is: if you like to experiment, this will not be data friendly and if you like it data friendly you will not get the latest hot new stuff.
A rolling release must be kept rolling. With KDE Neon you could skip an update from time to time (and then bork it up when you upgrade the base system ā¦). My 2 ct.
