[Stable Update] 2020-11-27 - Kernels, Browsers, Maui-Apps, Pamac 10.0-Beta, Gnome, Mesa, Qt

After this update my snaps don’t launch anymore. If I launch them via the command line, I get the following error message:
error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Many things are really zoomed in on KDE now.
The icons on the right have the original size, but the pinned ones are bigger.
The terminal font is also zoomed in by two Ctrl++ .
2020-11-27_19-31

I can’t really find an option in the settings besides the font settings and screenscale, but they are unchanged.

Considering, as suggested in @philm original second post that I did the systemctl commands AFTER restart, I had to restart twice.
I may not have to if adding start commands.

It’s always surprising to read oracular reactions to a post. :thinking:

Thanks a lot

I am having an issue with gnome-passwordsafe. Whenever I run it I get
ModuleNotFoundError: No Module named 'Cryptodome'

The full printout is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-passwordsafe", line 48, in <module>
    from passwordsafe.application import Application
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/passwordsafe/application.py", line 7, in <module>
    from passwordsafe.main_window import MainWindow

  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/passwordsafe/keyfile_generator.py", line 3, in <module>
    from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Cryptodome'

I looked up Cryptodome, I have it installed (for Python 3). I downgraded to see if that was an issue but I got the same problem so I updated it again. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: I downgraded gnome-passwordsafe from 4.beta-1 to 3.99.2-1 and now it works again.

EDIT: Turns out I forgot to reinstall an ignored pykeepass update from a previous release. I had the same issue as in this post here: OliverVanHasen - Gnome Password Safe… and downgraded pykeepass. I just upgraded both pykeepass and gnome-passwordsafe and everything works fine.

It seems there is a problem with latest 5.9 kernel. During shutdown/reboot I have kernel panic, and call trace argues on efivars_destroy function.

Looks like this is my bug (sorry, cannot attach links yet):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/11/24/719
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/11/24/1258

Interesting that rolling back to 5.4 changes nothing (maybe it was also “updated”).

Thank you very much!

I can’t reproduce the issue. Libreoffice-fresh seems work fine on wayland, even with nvidia. I’ll test if installing openjdk changes things.

EDIT: nope, still working. Do you have more tips on how to reproduce the issue?

  • Is this something I should worry about?
  • How do I fix this?

Thank you

My permissions of dhcpcd neither 755 nor 700 is 750:

Do I need to change it ?

5.9 kernel Plasma 5.20.3 NVidia graphics 450.80.02 bare metal. Audacious 4.0.5.1 (official repository) crashes on startup. Everything else ok.

Strange, in that I currently have freecad installed (and not KiCad), and opencascade 7.5.
I’m sure that there has been at least one previous update of freecad since it moved into the repositories, so is there a reason for the required downgrade?

Hi,

I wonder if there is a need to use the 2 last commands for cups.
Indeed :

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service

Creates the 3 services
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/printer.target.wants/cups.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/cups.socket → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.path → /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.path.

Hi! I’m using Manjaro KDE.
After this update I see a lot of messages when I shut down or reboot.
This is new.
I don’t know what’s wrong.
I don’t know how to capture those messages either.

They’re just warnings; nothing is wrong

Executing:

journalctl --system --boot=-1 | tail --lines=25

will give you the last 25 lines of the warnings that are logged

Executing:

sudo shutdown --halt now

will shut your system down without powering it off allowing you to read the warnings that are not logged leisurely until you press the power button.

The bug was fixed in all branches with the kernel update 5.9.11-3

When is the 5.4 update coming? (Yeah, on an LTS kernel here due to the nVidia kerfuffle)

P.S. I never realized I’m older than the Internet too! :older_adult: :joy:
