[Stable Update] 2020-12-30 - Kernels, KDE, Cinnamon, LibreOffice, Python 3.9, Mesa 20.3.1

Update of my Intel desktop system with an NVIDIA gpu that requires the 390.xx drivers is apparently fine with the 5.9 kernel. However it booted to a blank screen with the 5.10 kernel, probably because there are no linux510-nvidia-390.xx drivers (yet?).

Edit 2021 Jan 03:
With the appearance of the linux510-nvidia-390.xx drivers in the repositories I reinstalled the 5.10 kernel, which now included those nvidia-390 drivers, and rebooted the system, all is apparently fine so far with 5.10 kernel.

Noto Sans Regular looks different from old VM and my updated machine. The fonts names are equal but visual is not the same.

I didn’t know about this script
Since I already did the almost upgrade. I should wipe my virtualenv and rebuild it?

Thanks

I updated my USB that I use with a Tanix Wintel box, plus updated kernel to 5.10.2 when prompted. After reboot, noted that:

first time starting each program is very slow, but on subsequent uses, firefox thunderbird etc. seem to start faster
vidcutter AUR version needed to be rebuilt (didn’t start), but nordvpn-bin did not

Thanks for the good work and happy new year!

Hello, after the update the computer does not turn off completely. It’s a 2017 iMac. I put down the inxi -Fazy.

Thanks…

@philm I am glad to help reporting issues.
I also noticed problems with Chromium:

mooselimb · 31 December 2020 15:24

Actually I’m not getting any audio from kernels 5.10 , 5.9 or 5.4

pheiduck · 31 December 2020 15:27

Which Hardware do u use?
Do u have tried 4.19?

lallulli · 31 December 2020 15:30

As far as I know, after the upgrade your old virtualenvs will not work anymore, and you need to rebuild them. If you have the requirements.txt file, it should be straightforward. Otherwise, you need to remember all the packages you installed in the virtualenv… you may explore lib/python3.8/site-packages directory to see what you had in your old virtualenv.

People have mentioned here issues with Nvidia already, I’m running a laptop with an Intel GPU + 1050Ti and after the update and the reboot all is well, except for one major thing (for me) which is CUDA.

Running nvcc on a .cu works fine, but trying to run it after compiling gives:

the provided PTX was compiled with an unsupported toolchain.

I’m working to solve this ASAP because I need CUDA for a work I have to present due in two weeks, so any help is more than welcome.

Also I’ve always had issues with Nvidia as I only want the drivers to run CUDA, nothing else, I don’t want my X to be on the dGPU or play videogames, but I’ve always had issues to make this work. Before needing CUDA for school I was just using the Intel GPU and everything worked much better, will see how it goes from here with this new update.

Here are the packages installed on my system:

$ pacman -Qe | grep cuda
cuda 11.2.0-1

$ pacman -Qe | grep nvidia
lib32-nvidia-utils 455.45.01-3
linux54-nvidia-455xx 455.45.01-4
nvidia-455xx-utils 455.45.01-1
nvidia-prime 1.0-4

$ uname -a
Linux UD-Legion 5.4.85-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 21 21:38:53 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hello.
After I installed this update I tried to install kernel 5.10 and I get the following error:
/usr/bin/grub-probe: error while loading shared libraries: libzfs.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Running sudo update-grub gives the same error. I verified that I have zfs-utils installed.
The first time I installed Linux 5.10 I didn’t see the error and I also deleted Linux 5.9, not I only have the fallback kernel, 4.19.
Now I can’t make any kernel besides 4.19 which was already installed to show up in grub. Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: I fixed it by replacing grub-vanilla with grub.

wils0n · 31 December 2020 15:39

the font is the same but looks different

lcn · 31 December 2020 15:42

I have an old nvidia gpu on that computer, had an issue after updating: black screen, no error.

Fixed by opening virtual console alt + shift + F2
installed nvidia drivers packet called linux510-nvidia

Works after that.

I have intel-nvidia hybrid card. GTX 850M. After the update nvidia-prime not working. Auto install not working. Any help?

Auto install proprietary driver gives me this error.

@rf2020 for nordvpn:

you need to create the system group manually and add yourself to that group:

sudo groupadd -r nordvpn
sudo systemctl enable --now nordvpnd.service
sudo gpasswd -a your user name nordvpn

reboot

Hi all!

I have an Intel-Nvidia Optimus Laptop, with manjaro KDE and kernel 5.4 LTS.
After updating to this new stable release, an old issue came up.
During shutdown i got this message

sd-unmount[xxxx]: Failed to unmount /oldroot: Device or resource busy
sd-unmount[xxxx]: Failed to unmount /oldroot/sys: Device or resource busy
shutdown[1]:Failed to finalize file systems, ignoring

I always thought this was an Nvidia driver or a systemd issue. But probably has something to do with manjaro mhwd scripts.

Here is how i solved it (or at least i think i solved it…)

I removed video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-455xx-prime driver with

sudo mhwd -r pci video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-455xx-prime

but i kept video-modesetting intact

I removed with pacman every Nvidia related package, leaving in the end only the mhwd-nvidia-xxx ones. These should not be removed! In the end, i have something like:

$ pacman -Q | grep nvidia

mhwd-nvidia 
mhwd-nvidia-390xx

I manually installed with pacman the following packages (in this order)

nvidia-utils
lib32-nvidia-utils
opencl-nvidia
lib32-opencl-nvidia

and the last one…

linux54-nvidia

I rebooted.

After that, no more errors, during shutdown. Both intel and nvidia drivers are loaded ( checked with inxi -Gxxxz ). And the Nvidia driver works on demand. Of course I’m not sure if there is any switching between the two drivers as I don’t know how to check it. Any help?

Otherwise, a flawless update.
Thanks

wils0n · 31 December 2020 15:55

Can you be more specific? I can’t find it.

694b4e18c2dce6133e72 · 31 December 2020 15:59

Zeitgeist is an actual dependency of Pantheon Music, it’s not in Orphans, and if I try to remove it, pamac wants to remove Pantheon Music as well, so it’s not just a build dependency.

I’ll just go without a GUI file search until the conflict gets resolved.
