I’ll for sure take a closer look next time, haven’t used Linux in a while and decided to give Manjaro a go, it’s been great until this minor issue. Thanks!
Running KDE 5.10 kernel and everything went smooth
Most everything went well as far as I can tell except for one issue. The issue was that the screen seemed to be minutely/rapidly moving up and down; maybe 1 pixel up/down. It was most noticeable when I had something open such as Alacrity, Konsole, Firefox, Libreoffice, etc.
A few weeks ago I was giving EndeavourOS a test drive (luckily as it turns out) and remember someone posting about the same issue after Plasma 5.21 was released. EndeavourOS Forum post: “Since 5.21 there are glitches or something like that on my screen” The fix is from post #7 The fix. I tried the first suggestion, and it seems to have worked (after a reboot). Also, I’m using on board (Intel) graphics (I assume that’s relevant):
Graphics: Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 chip ID: 8086:0412 class ID: 0300 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 compositor: kwin_x11 driver: loaded: intel resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz s-dpi: 96 OpenGL: renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 11.1.0 256 bits) v: 4.5 Mesa 20.3.4 compat-v: 3.1 direct render: Yes
Reminder for anyone that runs kwin-lowlatency to switch to normal kwin from the official repo before upgrading otherwise your gonna get a freeze when you try to login. Had the same issue and it was resolved by installing normal kwin before restarting for the update.
Small screen artifacts when selecting text or clicking buttons (ie. pin button of krunner).
This has not happened before.
I’m currently running 5.11 kernel but I’m unable to remove the 5.10 kernel.
I’m getting this error:
:: removing linux510 breaks dependency 'linux510' required by linux-latest
:: removing linux510-headers breaks dependency 'linux510-headers' required by linux-latest-headers
Shouldn’t linux-latest point to linux511 instead of linux510?

same here.
Same here too
that’s what i thought after looking around a bit and seeing both optimus-manager-qt and optimus-manager got updated on their respective Github page.
do you mind looking at my thread and explain to me why in Pamac, optimus-manager seems to be installed both from Aur and official repos?

At this stage, pipewire-effects is bugged. Can’t use it.
Hi,
Is the mesa-git from AUR updating regularly for you? I installed this a while ago but I noticed it wasn’t updating as much as it should be and saw the mesa-git from the official repo are also installed, which I didn’t install.
Update without problem on a machine with KDE.
Thanks Manjaro-team.

KDE not started with kwin-lowlatency. Only works if you uninstall it and just install kwin.

As always, the brightness control does not work on the OLED screen, but on the 5.9.16 kernel everything worked as it should. Why is OLED no longer supported after the release of this kernel?
SERIOUS PROBLEM: Kernel 5.11 crashes in my computer, it produces a black screen when it boots. For kernel 5.10 I use amdgpu.dc=0 to solve this problem, but this does NOT solve the problem for kernel 5.11, I need help, please!
Yes and no. It’s a “git” package. It doesn’t need to change itself for me to get the latest version (sometimes it does update, when there is need or something changes in the compile process for this package or something, but it’s not always necessary). I just need to reinstall it and it pulls newer git content and compiles it. Contrary to “community” repo pre-compiled mesa-git (which isn’t git at all), which does not do that, and is already stagnant.
Anybody else lost Super shortcut for activating Application Launcher on 5.21? How to restore the shortcut?
Al good on 3 computers using KDE.
While my shortcut is perfectly fine, I believe you’ll find where to se it by Right clicking on the launcher button, choosing the “Configure…” option and selecting the Keyboard shortcuts option on the left side of the popup and then configuring it there.
Or that’s how I did it, at least.
(Oh, and if it makes any difference, I use Excalibur menu, although I’ve checked and it’s the same for the new Application menu.)

this is why i always read the change logs and then ill use timeshift before i do the updates just incase something goes wrong and then ill use Konsole to keep an eye on whats downloading and whats being removed. other software depends on certain software! you must absolutely check for no dependencies when deleting certain things
hey buddy it happened to me also i fixed it by setting it to " ctrl + super and then ii hit the super button (windows key) and it worked fine
