[Stable Update] 2021-02-28 - Kernels, Plasma 5.21.1, Frameworks 5.79, Firefox, Thunderbird, Python

muvvenby’s reply to that post was exactly what worked! Thank you!

I don’t know if the button does anything and I’m not going to (deliberately) try it, because my experience on the couple of occasions I’ve accidentally hit it has been that my computer suspends but there’s no way other than a power-cycle to get it back.
…which is why I’m keen to get rid of the button…

[Edit]: ah! Now I’ve found why the button suddenly appeared. I’d changed my desktop theme and for some strange reason, the Andromeda theme shows the suspend button, while others don’t. So evidently Andromeda has the button hard-coded, which is a pain as I was liking the look of it.

Cura does not work anymore. The error message is

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cura", line 23, in <module>
    import Arcus  # @UnusedImport
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Arcus'

I got some issues with KDE, I don’t know what it is but some elements are redrawing and sometimes the window shadow is blinking.
I have no idea what cause this but seems to be the compositor.

Thank you, omano! I will do that.

Got a problem since I updated. Had used the 5.11 before and after the update. I made a post about this.

Essentially what happens is: I am getting a hardware error. Probably due to my (quite new) hardware.

If truly eo, you wouldn’t even HAVE a human name. Unless…

I thought that the problem of having to keep selecting the right audio channel every time I turn on the PC was going to be solved but the problem still persists

I seems to be getting an odd issue that hasn’t been reported here yet. On KDE, with kernel 5.11, the compositor keeps crashing and needs restarting after locking the screen and one of three screens also disconnects at the same time.

Edit: I read the thread too quicky and I noticed some users with a similar/possibly related issues

I have a related issue regarding the compositor. The compositor seems to crash every time I lock my computer and I see some graphical glitches at times. Do you have several displays ? It seems that the compositor in KDE has some minor issues in this update.

In /etc/fstab I mount a directory with cifs and in options I use a credential file:

//nas.example.com/share1/ /var/run/media/axel/share1 cifs credentials=/home/axel/.smbcredentials,uid=axel,vers=2.0,... 0 0

My password contains a comma. Up to kernel 5.10 the mount [share|directory] works fine.
With kernel 5.11 the mount command shows the error
unknown parameter [password-part-behind-comma]

I went back to kernel 5.10.

Eeeing as kernel 5.10 is the next LTS anyway, it seems to me it’s better this way anyway.

I can confirm this, the lock screen sometimes crash all plasmashell.
Yes I use two monitors with different resolutions and use the multi-screen in kde

I created one topic for my kde bug here, if someone found some fix please tell me there because It’s more easy for future users in Manjaro

I have this issue as well. KDE lock then unlock crashes compositor. Not always, seems dependent on how long it has been locked.

Using X with AMD RX 5700 XT.

To restart compositing: SHIFT+ALT+F12

So you are using a laptop? I’ve never had luck with linux / suspend function. I’ve never wanted a laptop. I use a desktop and remove the physical wire from the motherboard - that way - no suspend. Pressing the physical button does nothing and the software button returns null.
