I now boot into a snapshot that was made prior to the last stable update from last year with kernel 5.9. There was no error like now.

I am only adding this because it seemed unusual for the free to stop working and the non-free provide a viable alternative. I was running the free video drivers but upon this update 2020-12-30 1 of my 2 (different) monitors was black upon reboot. I am running stable gnome wayland with an Nvidia GTX 1080 and AMD cpu. After a few attempts to recofigure I took a wild shot andI installed the non-free, and all is well. Next update I will try to switch back but wanted to throw it out there in case anyone else experienced this problem and did not try my radical solution.

Otherwise another fantastic update.

443

Anyone use RX 5700 XT?

I noticed that the command sensors:

Reports 32 Watt at idle (Linux510) false

Reports 9 Watt at idle (Linux59) true

In MS Windows 10 Pro:
Reports also false 32 Watt.

Your post helped me, Thank you!

445

Probably a Dolphin bug or KDE related. I don’t have it on my Manjaro XFCE installation. But I could be wrong. Let’s hope this is a known bug, because it is a very high priority one.

Hi, @winoseti, thank you for the reply.
II will try with linux419.
I also post some additonal information under linux54 kernel,which I found in the above post.

Might be the same problem as reported here:

If you boot with suggested amdgpu.dc=0 it will be the case, you disable dynamic clock and power saving.

I have not activated this because I am not affected by this problem:

cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

I will wait for upstream patches, I know 5.11 include also some sensor patches

I can’t update because Pipewire is in conflict with Pulseaudio

Is there a way I can safely replace pulseaudio with pipewire?

having the same issue. system spontaniously freezes (nno reaction to anything), only hardware reset helps.

firefox is crashes while browsing on youtube.

did you find a solution?

454

2 posts were split to a new topic: Chromium is laggy

455

When I boot it goes into a black screen after grub, but after a couple of minutes it goes to the desktop. Then the desktop freezes and the solution is to press ctrl+alt+F2 and then ctrl+alt+F1 to return to the desktop and from now on everything seems to run fine. I have an nvidia gtx970 and I installed the nvidia drivers with

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

Also, the compositor seems to crash kwin

OpenGL compositing (the default) has crashed KWin in the past.
This was most likely due to a driver bug.
If you think that you have meanwhile upgraded to a stable driver,
you can reset this protection but be aware that this might result in an immediate crash!
Alternatively, you might want to use the XRender backend instead.

I had problems in the past in the newer kernel when fullscreen video from firefox would saw black and turning on and off the compositor by shift+alt+F12 would do the trick. Then I found that an option on desktop effects could solve it, the fullscreen option. So, something was not working right with nvidia drivers and the newer kernels.

My system,
cpu: intel i7-3770K, gpu: nvidia GTX970

Can confirm is happen to me as well,it has been reported,i think the new patch is coming January 9th.

Remove pipewire-pulse.

pipewire-alsa, pipewire-pulse, and pipewire-jack are normally not needed unless one wants to use PipeWire as a PulseAudio/JACK replacement.

hi @philm I found a small bug in one of the recommended commands:

right after --install has to be either pci or usb, in this case it should be pci. the command was giving an error but in the usage it stated (pci|usb) so I figured it out.

Thanks for you help, was able to fix my system.

459

the solutions are two:
1- use kernel 5.4 with free drivers
2- Thanks to the explanation that I quote below (using the option to do it by terminal, because using the AUR option in pamac it throws an error and does not finish installing it) I could install the proprietary driver 340 in kernel 5.4 and 5.10 and for now no longer I suffer from slowdowns or frozen.

I used Pamac to remove the nvidia drivers. Left mhwd alone. Installed 5.10. Rebooted, went into TTY to sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300.

Worked.
