[Stable Update] 2021-04-09 - Kernels, Systemd, Gnome 40 Apps, Mesa 21.0.1, Kernels, Browsers

Hi there! I’m experiencing random system freezes as well, and think it has something to do with the new AMD GPU drivers. [Here] is a post I wrote a couple of days ago, where some other users and I have been updating our experiences and not-solvers: System frequently crashing after GPU drivers update - #28 by HoneyBear52

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

@XRaTiX that did the trick! I’ll share in here exactly what I did to make Firefox integrate better with KDE, and it was much simpler than I assumed! Thank you so much!

@PetervB try this out:

  1. Make sure the packages xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-kde are installed. (They should be by default on a Manjaro KDE installationn.)
  2. Open up Firefox, and in the address bar type about:config, then hit Enter
  3. If you see a “warning” just proceed. It’s not as dangerous as the warning portrays.
  4. Search for widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal
  5. For the option widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal, change it from false to true (by double-clicking it)
  6. Close Firefox and re-launch it. Try opening or saving files, images, downloads, etc. Enjoy your KDialog seamlessly integrated with your KDE desktop!

For me, testing branch with kernel511 works fine #Gnome

@_thomas I don’t have a fix for it yet, but I posted a similar issue I and a lot of people have been going through here. Hope you can find it useful, or drop any information you find worth mentioning.

I’ve just been over to the Mesa site looking at release notes for Mesa 21.01 & 21.02, and unless I don’t know what to look for (very possible) I can’t find mention of this bug. I wonder if this gets fixed? lot of Linux users use older intel hardware, so you’d think this would get addressed.
